The cappuccino was a latte, can't even get a coffee taste. The iced latte was good because I asked for an extra shot. It seemed like the girls working there today did not care at all. My husband said his cortadito was weak, too much milk. I will come back for croissants, not for coffee.

When I first walked into this French inspired bakery cafe, my party of 8 was greeted and seated…read morepromptly. We also were given menus and water swiftly. It took a bit for our waiter to stroll back around to take our order, and for a Sunday morning brunch, I wouldn't have considered this place a "packed" house. When the time came around, I was first to place my order, I wanted something different so I ordered Shakshuka. Of course; I did my quick research of the dish before getting to the restaurant! Shakshuka is suppose to be a one-skillet egg dish, the eggs are basted in this rich, thick red pepper, tomato, onions, and garlic sauce, topped with satueed peppers. I also ordered a French toast and chai latte! Fast forward to when everyone dishes were dropped off, even though I was first to order my dish did not arrive. I waited around for 10-15 minutes, my whole family was pretty much done with their meals. I had to call over our waitress to advise my order was never dropped at the table. After letting her know, my dish was expedited to the table in less than 5 minutes. Could they have been a rush to send out the dish? Possibly. Because that was the worst dish ever and nothing like described. The peppers were not sautéed (or little to nothing) and were just sliced, plated for decor. The tomato/red pepper based sauce seemed like it was just canned tomato sauce, very liquid-y. Simply was not fond of this dish. The french toast were more like hard french toast sticks, I would've liked it to be on the fluffier end, but they were hard/toasted. Nothing that blew my mind. As far as my chai latte, it was divine! The perfect warm hug. The chai to steamed milk ratio was on point, and topped cinnamon. My mom ordered their $42 Entrecöte Frites; man, did that sound delicious. As a true steak connoisseur, she loves a bleeding rare steak! So that was the temperature she ordered, rare. I was excited to snag a bite or two from her plate to be the judge it for myself. The plate dropped the first time, she cut right in the middle of it to see the finishing temperature... it was wrong. Sent it right back. The second time it hit the table, the temperature was correct. A bright red center and a seared exterior, just what she was looking for. However, it was so salty, you just could not get past all the salt, nothing to enjoy. Not edible, unless you wanted clogged arteries right then and there! My wife ordered a caprese sandwich. Yes, I also took a bite of that while waiting my for my order(lol). The baguette bread was airy, delicious, and soft. The mozzarella was fresh and the tomatoes were nice and ripe. I also tried their croissants, almond and chocolate croissant, pistachio croissant, and Nutella croissant. They were buttery, flaky, and all the fillings complimented it well. My conclusion to La Boulangerie is you have to be selective about what you order from here. Maybe they had an off day and we were the unlucky ones, but the more complicated meals turned out to taste the worst. However, you can definitely enjoy light bites here... you can't go wrong with a baguette sandwich, coffee, or a pastry. I think baking and light fare is where their true expertise lies.

Especially being a special need parent it's something that crosses my mind a lot, "what will my son have". The little small touches from art work, book selection and seating was special.

The letters written are so sincere and heartwarming. I cannot wait to return!!!!

Music was a vibe as I remember walking in hearing Bob Marley "Three Little Birds" and then Stevie Wonder "Ribbon in the Sky." Yup! Already hooked lol the guy at the register (I wanna say he's the owner) was so kind. Gave great suggestions. I specifically got the chocolate chip muffin because he said he has one everyday lol I haven't tried it but I don't doubt it's good! My husband got a strawberry shortcake donut which was delish! In which they let me know it's from another business but I forgot the name, however, really good donut. For our drinks, I got an iced pumpkin latte and my husband got a honey maple latte. Both were perfect. Generous amount and perfect sweetness! So there's a really cute library in the back that catches my attention. I immediately go there as we wait for our order and picked out a book that I immediately start to read. As I'm reading, the owner (wife of the guy I believe I met at the counter) says I can keep the book! Excuse me what?! I was so happy lol what a gem of a coffee shop. I'll be back to enjoy their other menu items as they also have warm breakfast items etc. Lastly, they also own Local Pie which is right next to it and it's also delish! Didn't even know it until I asked because the guy at the counter (so sorry I don't know his name) had a shirt on that said Local Pie. Anyway, go to both! You won't regret it.

Went to Galipan Bake House in Kendall on my second stop while on a mission to find a good cachito…read more The place is simple but pleasant, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was friendly and polite. I ordered the ham and cheese cachito, and oh my goodness... it instantly took me back to the ones I used to eat as a kid in school in Venezuela. The size was perfect, the flavor was spot on, and even though it was a little greasy, it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is nothing fancy, just a normal bakery vibe, but I didn't care. The cachito was that good. I didn't try anything else, so I can't speak for the rest of the menu, but for the cachitos alone, I'd happily drive from Miami Lakes all the way to Kendall again. Solid 9.8/10. If you're looking for an authentic Venezuelan cachito experience, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately, the coffee just wasn't my favorite--I was hoping for a bit more flavor. The service was also a little hit or miss.

Even though it wasn't the best experience, I'd be open to giving it another try on a less hectic day to see if it's different.

The latte I ordered was standard as far as lattes are concerned. I ordered French Toast with a side of scrambled eggs. They were good, but not great. French Toast was well done, which I appreciated because I don't like slimy eggs on my French toast. The scrambled eggs were a bit wet, so that was less desirable to me. Nothing seemed to have much seasoning/ flavor too it. The fruit added the most flavor to the French toast and even pepper on the eggs didn't do much. As a group of five, with 2 children, they automatically added large group gratuity to our bill. Not likely a place I'll be visiting again any time soon.

We've been wanting to try this French café style place, so now is our chance. And, the necessary free wifi is available. We were greeted and seated upon arrival, then adjusted to another table for computer needs. The place is bright and loud, cool minimalist French deco, not frou-frou. The metal seats aren't pretty or comfortable. Bathrooms are ok, not stocked with paper towels or seat covers, tho. No biggie. Music is monotonous and slightly annoying. Just feels so lackluster here, like a "why even try" attitude? To illustrate this, they have all these cool clocks reading what time it is in Paris, Lima, Caracas, etc and NONE of the clocks are working. Seems on brand here. Staff was adequate, but inattentive. Maybe that's the French style? Less interested in serving the "ugly American" haha? For instance American coffee is free refills, but you have to chase down a server every time! Then you have get up anyway and go find more cream. Most importantly, food is really PRICY, even for Miami! In conclusion, the offerings were pretty good, and they do have an extensive menu for a bakery style place. It just feels like an OvErPrIcEd French theme Starbucks/Panera with table service. I wish we'd read the yelp reviews before landing here. Disappointing, It will be our last visit here. Thanks for following me, happy summer yelping in 2026! ~Tami in Miami

Magic City Perks is a great spot to grab a drink, bite, or work from in Kendall…read more I typically work from the Starbucks in the London Square plaza but decided to work from a new spot and this place was recommended to me. There's parking in the lot both in front of and behind the business. I parked behind and didn't even know it until walking into Magic City Perks. This spot is super spacious with plenty of lighting and seating. The menu has a lot of drink options to choose from and even has some bites and baked goods. During my last visit, I was intrigued by their Fall specials and at first ordered a matcha lavender latte but after placing my order, I saw that they had pistachio matcha so I had to change it. They were super nice about accommodating my updated order and the staff was super friendly. If you know me, I'm a sucker for pistachio matcha and most places only have it as a seasonal special so I HAD to get it. It did not disappoint! I honestly can't wait to come back here just to get it again. With plenty of seating and outlets inside, this spot is a great place to remote work from! Overall such a hidden gem in Kendall.

I had been wanting to try this cafe and realized I was nearby one day and would give it a try. I…read morehave mixed thoughts, so I'll start with the best thing. The food was actually amazing, especially for a casual cafe environment. I had the loaded avocado toast which came with two slices toast with creamy avocado spread across it, cherry tomatoes, a sprinkle of feta cheese, a balsamic vinegar sauce. For my daughter I ordered the waffles with berries. This was slightly smaller than I expected but delicious. So sugary and flavorful. And I had a honey cinnamon latte which I also felt was full of flavor and had lots of cinnamon (I've had this in other places where I felt the flavor and cinnamon were lacking). That being said, it took 24 minutes to get our food which I think is a bit excessive for this environment. There was only one girl working when we were there and lots of people. Also, the bill for all that (plus an apple juice) was $53 and change including tip! (I paid that same amount recently at a cute sit down restaurant where the meal was big enough to have plenty of leftovers). The ambiance had a clean, minimalist aesthetic with pretty decor pieces. It was very quiet too... about halfway through my visit, they turned on some music, but it was still a quiet, calm environment with the music. I prefer a busier, fun type of vibe, but for those who are looking for something very serene and calm this would be an ideal place to relax or get some work done as long as you're willing to wait for your food!

Drinks don't come with any toppings so you have to pay for $1 toppings which is insane. The drinks itself are nothing special and definitely for the average American crowd. A drink can cost you up to $10. Paid $30+ for 3 drinks. Service also needs work. We grabbed the menu to look and brought it back when we were ready. Employee who took our order rudely told us to bring back the menu if you are done with it, which we gave to the customers behind us. If only he used his eyes before speaking. Also, I asked for Green Thai Tea and he blankly stared at me saying we don't have that. I told him it's on the menu and he proceeded to say "oh yea we don't sell that often". Not my problem if you don't know what is on your menu. Small space. Area is not big enough for strollers. Not ideal for people with strollers.
