Tinta y Cafe

Well, this is more of a long-time impression...This place is undeniably the best breakfast/brunch cafe in Miami according to my boyfriend and I. Any friend we bring has us begging to take em back. Everything is amazing, I've never disliked something new we've tried. We always get the cafe con leche, which is the best one in Miami (try it and then we can argue it lol). The most hospitable, charismatic, and nicest service you could ever hope for. Did I mention they have 3 Michelin stars? There's a reason for it!Their food is always fresh, cooked to perfection, and so so yummy. They put twists on classic cuisines that only adds to their quality. Their pastries run out fast because they're so fluffy, hot, and delicious (my favorite is the beef pastelito). Their croquettes are made hot to order and wow, are they good. The ham one is no joke, it's the biggest croquette, it is not made with your traditional ham. They use a much more savory ham that will have you rethinking croquettes altogether. Any sandwich has its own special mix of flavor, it's honestly hard to pick a favorite. The salads are BIG and so fresh. I love this place, every aspect of it. The staff, the artsy aesthetic, and the out of this world food.

Service, food, and vibe cannot get better for this cute cafe. I was instantly welcomed by workers and someone came instantly to give me water (glass was never empty!) and take my order. Although the service was quick and they checked on you fairly often, I never felt rushed. My colada was amazing. The best I've had. The menu was fairly limited with mainly coffee and sandwiches but they had a breakfast menu available in the morning. I wanted eggs so opted for scrambled eggs with tomato on Cuban bread. All of the ingredients were so fresh- eggs fluffy and bread hot, crispy, yet light. It was so simple but so good! I can't recommend this place more!

The cafe was nice. It was simple yet welcoming, with plenty of seats. The service was good, and the coffee was excellent. They had a variety of options, making it hard to choose. I recommend trying their callajero sandwich.

As soon as I walked in I felt the good vibes! Service was great. Inside is cute, with books and decor. Reminds me of somewhere you would meet up with your friends, drink & eat and not realize where the time went, there is no wifi and I guess that is why. I also knew i absolutely needed to try some of their pasties. I decided on a chicken empanada and beef pastelito. Soo good! Both stuffed with the right amount of meat. Chicken was seasoned and not dry. My iced cafe con leche was superb. So picky with it but it was strong and also rich and sweet. I was pleasantly surprised. Side note: as I was there a man came in I guess asking people for money/food. He sat down and took out a couple of prescription medications talking about how he had just left Jackson hospital and has a severe heart failure. The manager was so polite asking him to please put away his medications and even offered this man some pastries. The man then decided to cause a scene by standing up and screaming in the middle of the restaurant that he had a heart failure and all he was being offered was pastries. How entitled must you feel to not only turn down the pastries but cause a scene about it. I felt bad bc the manager seemed uncomfortable for the customers but he did no wrong. And with all that being said the manager still showed kindness and asked the man if he needed any assistance with picking something else off the menu

This croqueta is life changing! Sooooo delicious !!!! It was the perfect fried on the outside and ham on the inside. We had two breakfast sandwiches and our favorite was La noche entera. We also got el bori, it was good but definitely missing some sauce it was a little too dry. Service was great we had so many servers coming around asking us if we were doing well. Loved this breakfast spot!

Tinta Y Cafe has become a Miami staple. Quick coffee and a pastelito becomes more. Lunch! I am a pescatarian. My go to is the tuna sandwich that comes with plaintain chips. Breakfast is amazing too. There staff here at the Miami Shores location is kind and approachable. Thanks Kaylah for introducing yourself and sharing your Tinta journey. Will be back because of your warm welcome and smiling face! Happy to see things going well! #305

Tinta always delivers with consistent quality. The bread is always fluffy and crunchy on the outside. The sauces are always balancing the components inside. I really like the green olive tampanade for the tropicana with the turkey. It's heavy on the olive oil, and is delicious. The Italiano plain comes with a tasty sweet tomato jam that pairs great with the mozzarella. I enjoyed the heavy cinnamon on the dirty Chai latte. I'm also partial to the cortadito without the evaporated milk, but with is also good. There's a decent amount of seating inside, and the BEST part is FREE PARKING. I know, super rare in Miami, but it's what drew us to keep coming back. And every sandwich gets a free side of plantain chips. The service is decent, and the inside is cozy.

This neighborhood coffee house and lunch place located in Miami Shores has a cute bohemian vibe. I had the Los Italianos $11.50 made with tomato basil vegetarian on Cuban bread and came with plantain chips. The service was great.

Best cafecito in town! They have amazing sandwiches as well like the pork guajiro. Salads are fresh and delicious like the honey mustard salad.

Delicious, the coffee is really good. It's fast and cute with both seating areas inside and outside.
