I Think She Is

Itsi is a small, family-owned coffee shop that opened its doors to the Brickell community in 2020, and from the start, they've been nothing but welcoming. It's quickly become my favorite spot in Miami, and it's easy to see why. Not only do they use Grade A ingredients, but their menu is also packed with organic, vegan, and vegetarian options. The chicken in their sandwiches and salads is halal, which is rare to find in this area.Their creative offerings range from smoothies and bowls to sandwiches and fresh pastries sourced from local bakers. Some of my favorites include the açaí bowl, pitaya bowl, and the iced honey latte--each one just as delicious as the last. And let's not forget the milk options: pistachio, oat, almond, whole, skim, soy, coconut--you've got it all here. My top pick has to be the tuna sandwich; it's so satisfying that it keeps me full the entire day. Itsi is truly the only real specialty coffee shop in Brickell, and its cozy, welcoming atmosphere makes it a go-to for locals and visitors alike. Whether you're stopping in for a quick coffee or spending the day working, this spot has everything you need and more. Open daily till 8pm and on Sundays till 4!

Aside from being an anime fan, there were many things that gravitated me to this place. This was during my Miami trip to preboard before my cruise. Such a cute quaint neighborly breakfast joint by our hotel in Miami Brickell. This place had regular breakfast dishes and even tasty healthy options. I wanted a nice yogurt fruit platter with a fancy kick of a breakfast coffee. The pink iced coffee was very flavorful with its unique flavor and still with that cappuccino caffeinated kick. Most don't like iced coffee because it's the weaker counterpart than hot coffee, but this zoomed me back to life after a stress travel work night. The decor in this cafe was unbelievably cozy with unique touches. Something you'd feel creative vibes sinking in if you were to sit here on your laptop working on a novel, design project or just simply getting lost in a good book. I was even more fascinated by the collection of 90s anime memorabilia figurines, the distinct flavors of sweets and snacks to go with your beverages, and even the artistic rustic picks in the furniture and artworks hanging on the walls. The owner and I had such fun discussing all his collections displayed throughout this cafe. Very well done and would come back when in Brickell. I didn't get to try the brunch platters here because we're were in a hurry to catch our ship boarding time. But next time I'll give myself the leisure time to savor the dining experience here.

It's no secret how much we love and enjoy @itsicoffee located in the heart of Brickell Miami which is one our favorite spots for local specialty coffee shops.

Show them some love and let us know what you think!!

The WORST breakfast I've EVER had! I can NOT believe this place has such good reviews.... I ordered the Don Corleone, which is a toast with arugula, "burrata" (& yes burrata is in quotes.. which I'll get into..), & prosciutto. I got a side salad & added a fried egg. To start, the side salad was 97% oil in a container with 3% a dash of vinegar.. Moreover, the greens had a chemical taste to them. Not fresh. The fried egg was WAAAY over cooked. Do you see that yolk?! & Last but not least, the toast was WEIRD! The "burrata" was NOT burrata!!!! It was like a block of mozzarella cheese. I'm not stupid, I know burrata is mozzarella; but, it was NOT creamy at all. I sliced it, so you can see it in the picture. It was flavorless as well. the prosciutto seemed to have borderline gone bad, and a bit stale- not soft as prosciutto should be. (I've had AMAZING prosciutto many places & this was NOT it!) All of it was smothered in an overly salty pesto that overpowered everything. This place is way overhyped.

Cozy cafe with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, pastries and coffee. Cold brew was excellent!

Okay... I cannot believe I have not tried this spot any sooner! Wow, what a perfect spot to get some work done, while eating good, healthy food. I mean what a perfect combination! Oh, and it's a 10 minute walk from my house -- doesn't get better than this! I decided to co-work with my intern here (thanks to Tina for suggesting this spot), and we arrived at around 11:30 to grab some cafecito and get some work done. We ended up indulging on breakfast bites, lunch sandos, and dessert! Everything was finger licking good! Here's what we ordered: - Acai bowl: filled with flavor and with delicious fruits! Not too sweet or overwhelming, it was made to perfect!- Espresso shot: As a coffee lover, it was nice, rich, and had some lovely choco notes to it. - Iced matcha latte: I didn't try it but my intern said it was deli! - Chicken sando: WOWZA, cheesy, bun was nice and fresh, the sauce they have in it was chefs kiss! - Di parma sando: My intern loved it! - Brownie: okay, not this is a good brownie, not too sweet, perfect texture.I mean everything exceeded my expectations -- from the service, to the food and lastly their playlist is great! I cannot wait to come by again!

Be prepared it is a small indoor space with outdoor seating options. You can either take your goodies to go or find a little spot to settle in. Much cooler inside on a hot Miami weekend. Everything is fresh so be patient for your food orders. Anything with Avocado here is delish. And we shared a delicious chocolate croissant. Lemonade was ok and smoothies all have fun names. Cool spot.

Quirky cafe off the beaten path, great food and coffee. Met a girlfriend here for breakfast, we tried several different things- everything we tried was great. Dirty chai= greatFrance 98 toast= drool worthy. Toasted sourdough with apples, butter, cinnamon, brie cheese & honey. Wonderful flavor combo.Chocolate croissant= goodFight Club Sandwich= french baguette with turkey, provolone & cherry tomatoes. Was good and would order again. Good service and would come back.

If I had to come up with a title for this review, it would be, "Hidden Gem".In reality, this place is more of a 4.25 or a 4.5, but the things I would recommend to make it perfect are a little nit-picky.I ordered an iced latte with oatmilk and strawberry syrup, my boyfriend got a normal iced latte. We shared a Di Parma sandwich and a brownie.My iced latte was great. I wish they had mixed it up rather than having to do it myself, but maybe they do it for visual effect. I almost got an iced pink latte (I believe it's just a normal latte with beetroot powder) but it costs a few dollars more and has 1 less shot of espresso. Didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Anyway, they have a solid selection of syrups and milks. Strawberry syrup goes surprisingly well with coffee.The Di Parma sandwich was very good. I've always loved the sweet and salty combination of fig jam, brie, and prosciutto. I'm not sure what was in the aioli on the side (it tasted like garlic) but it was a nice addition to the sandwich as well. The tortilla chips on the side were a bit confusing. There was the option between chips, Coleslaw, and 2 other things I can't recall. I expected potato chips, but the tortilla chips were fine. They were probably bagged mass-produced tortilla chips, but they weren't bad. The brownie was decent. It didn't taste like much until I got through half the brownie when the chocolate flavor built up. I would probably try a cookie next time or something else. I don't think I'd get the brownie again nor would I recommend it.Service was good. Everyone was friendly. The ambiance was good - sort of quaint and cozy with a bit of funk and industrial thrown in. I saw a few people in here on their laptops. It seems like a good place to get work or studying done. They have 2 couches and an L-shaped high top in the corner. There's a 2 metal chairs and a small table facing the ordering counter and a leather chair tucked into the corner. The sofas were full when we got there around 2 on a Sunday but they got less busy within 5 minutes of us getting there and we grabbed part of a sofa. It continued to get less and less busy during our time there.Overall, it was a really good experience and I look forward to returning. I would love to try the pink latte but it just doesn't seem like it's worth the added cost for beetroot powder and 1 less coffee shot. Their menu has a lot of different things that look appealing. Perhaps I'll try an avocado toast and a smoothie next time.

Not sure if this place is overhyped or I just happened to go on a bad day. It was my first time here and I was really excited to try it because i've heard so many good things about their food & coffee. I really didn't like the fact that you have to order through the ipad it really takes away the warm smiles & human interaction. After I placed my order it took a while for my coffee to be made even though there was nobody infront of me. I ordered a latte with oat milk because they had ran out of whole milk and also got the empanada and carrot muffin. The latte was ok, too tick & strong for my liking. The empanada was good but I couldn't take a second bite of the muffin because it had a weird taste.The 2 employees were chatting and chismeando about like and totally forgot about my food and I had to remind them, both seemed bothered that I was interrupting their conversation.Overall the place is clean and really cute. It has a big variety of pastries & coffee. They also have books and a sell a variety of things like jewelry. They also have a printer, I thought that was pretty cool. I will probably come back to try their food for lunch and give it a second chance.
