You order first and then pay. We order two (2) hot beverages, the cafe con leche and the cafecito. The cafecito comes in a little tiny cup. It's what you will call an expresso. I wasn't impressed by the taste or flavor but The cafe con leche was pretty good according to my other half. We are both coffee drinkers. The lady who helped us was very friendly and the store looked nice and tidy.

I have had this place flag to go to forever. It did not disappoint! We sat in the restaurant vs…read morethe counter. We had cuban coffee and pastries. Croquettes, potato and empanada... Seriously they were all super tasty. The best part of it all are the cuban sandwichs! We ordered them to go and ate them at the beach. If you are in Miami, want traditional cuban food at a local joint, owned by a family for over 40 years you need to go here!

I've lived in Miami all 23 years of my life... actually came in for the first time to have some…read morevegan food cause I always pass by this place in little Haiti Let me tell you, this is the best most underrated hidden jem for health conscious people.. I walked in and Marie was giving a consultation to some nice ladies.. they have a lot of natural blends in the apothecary to help with digestion, circulation etc.. I ended up buying some Shalajit, some shea body soap and some herbal medicine for my dad to help with his blood pressure because he had a heart attack a couple years ago Then the food that I had (I ordered the veggie ball plate) was phenomenal and it came with this really delicious salad.. I also god a passionfruit juice and it was blended with ginger and was honestly the best juice I've had in Miami period Marie's grandson Jordon was so helpful and nice and I thought Marie was his mom she looks so youthful! This place is really a nice hand the interior is really creatives and beautiful.. HIGHLY SUGGESTED literally worth going out of your way for it's that good

The Vegan Marie is a all vegan Hatian restaurant in the Little Hati neighborhood of Miami. Very…read morefriendly owner who let me sample two different kinds of juice made in house. This family run restaurant has been around for four years as of March 2025. I love supporting all vegan restaurants whenever possible. This was my first time experiencing Hatian food. I went with the Spelt wrap that was tasty and served in ample portions. It came with a flavorful sauce. It came with a healthy and tasty kale salad. 5 stars for the food yet am deducting one star because when dining out I like to dine in and unfortunately there was limited seating with the only seating being outside the restaurant with two chairs encompassing a small table therefore took my meal back to my guesthouse to enjoy it there. Pro tip: Get your food to go and am sure you will enjoy this unique cuisine!

Great spot for breakfast! I visited this past Saturday with my mom and it was worth the drive. I…read moreordered the French toast with a side of bacon, a cordato over ice and she had the avocado toast with the matcha lemonade. Both plates were delivered to the table quickly, service was top tier, everyone was extremely nice and the ambience was chill. The only downside is having to share the restroom with the hot Pilates / yoga studio but other than that no complaints. Would love to be back soon to try more from their menu.

We came here after getting fasted bloodwork done nearby. We were very hungry! Alaska did NOT…read moredisappoint! We were there early; before 8AM, so there was plenty of seating and no wait to order. We ordered a large black coffee and a large breakfast pizza. The breakfast pizza comes with eggs your way (poached, scrambled, over easy, medium or hard), choice of cheese (cheddar, swiss, smoked provolone or mozzarella) and a meat or a veg. We opted for over medium, smoked provolone and mushrooms. The pizza took a while to be ready and it was worth the wait! Deliciously crispy and smoky, enhanced by their real wood fired oven! It was a true delight! The coffee was fantastic as well. We had it black, the true test of coffee greatness, and Alaska's house roast passed the test with flying colors! Add in a pleasant dining room and friendly service, and this is a true 5-star experience!

While the service was super friendly and the coffeehouse/pizza shop vibe was pleasant ( loved the jazz music), the dish itself was a 4 out of 5. The Hollandaise was watery and lacking in the flavor department. The ham was just OK. For a premium price, a bit disappointing That all being said, it just might not be their best dish. The avocado toast looked amazing. I'll try this place again, if only to explore the amazing looking items in the bakery case.

Their arepas are delicious and filling. The owner and staff are so kind as well. My favorite item is their chocolate chip cookie, it honestly deserves awards. Since it's located in a food hall it makes it a great space to WFH/remote and for large gatherings. Seating is ample and it's pretty chill vibe early in the day. The later it gets the louder the music gets lol highly recommend

Lots of bread, especially compared to the small amount of meat. Also, the flavor was just not there - I expect a lot more pickles in my Cuban sandwich. Some of the people in our group had Cuban coffees, and I understand that those were good. Good service, friendly and prompt.

This place was a real vibe! 1000% going back. I popped in for a drink and it did not disappoint…read more The bartender made the cocktail quick and it was absolutely delicious. You can really taste the espresso and it was the perfect temperature. When you first walk in, it's a more chill bar until you walk downstairs and it becomes super cool. The dj was amazing, she had the crowd moving! It feels like you're underground when you walk in. Everyone was having a great time, you can really tell. The only downside was trying to find parking, you can go find street parking but it can be a bit tricky. I found a spot but I had to really squeeze into it. There is valet next door at Gold Rush but I'm not sure how it works. Overall, I will definitely be returning for another fun night.
