All of the food is amazing here and the customer service was excellent! I tried the empanadas, croissants, cookies, and coffee and all were delicious. I visited several times on my trip, I couldn’t get enough of their sweets. The food was reasonably priced and fresh.

Easily the best empanadas in all of Miami! Just check out my photos they speak for themselves!!! This place came highly recommended by a local and I can understand why. Just be sure to get there early because they will sell out of their most popular. If its later in the day then stop by for desserts as everything they make is in house and more delicious than it appears!!! Would rate 6 stars if I could, the staff is super friendly and will recommend the best they have! Make sure to try the green sauce too!

Recommended by a couple of yelpaholics, I tried. Some bakery goods like empanadas, youll find.Forget your new years resolution and South Beach diet. May as well give that up in order to try it.Empanadas! Empanadas: pork, chicken, cheese.Gimme more green sauce with that pwiddy please.Bookmarked, checked-off, satisfied tummy.Those empanadas were flaky and yummy.

My favorite place on the beach. They have the best home cooked style food around. The fact it’s from scratch and so tasty is all I need. Never felt let down here. The empanadas are so good with plenty types to choose from.

They don’t offer gluten free empanadas even if you call and they will tell you they do and once you get there, nope.Food was not great, the regular empanadas super dry, everything is done I guess in the morning so by 11-12 food tastes old and dry

The ladies working were so sweet and patient with my friends and I! They worked well together and took time to explain the options to us and help us out as we looked at the menu! Will definitely be back next time we’re in town :) the empanadas are a great size!

Oh so much to choose from. Everything looked amazing. And alot of carmel in pastries....want an Empanada??? They have every kind of coffee you could want. Help support the local shops.I was at Starbucks other day spent $6 on a short Macchiato coffee. Here I bought a small coffee decaf Macchiato and a pastry with guava yummy $4.

With so many excellent reviews, I really wanted this place to be good. When we entered and it looked like the decor hadn’t been updated in 20+ years, I tried to focus on the food. When the nice lady kept getting our order wrong, I tried to focus on the food. When our simple order took over 30 minutes to prepare, I tried to focus on the food. But when the food arrived, I was shocked to see it was mediocre at best. The egg dishes were uninspired and of average diner quality, the sweets tasted stale and it all looked as if it was prepared by someone who hated their job. But, in all fairness, the free coffee that came with our dishes, was very good. I’m so sad because we had such high hopes for CB.

Small bakery with good selection of sweets. If youre there try pandebono, its worth it. Right now bread and sundwiches available only early in the morning (October 2020). Location is just next to Playa cafe.

Good service the lady working on the front counter was very polite. This place is super chilled in the mornings. The Beef Venezuelan empanada was really good, the coffee was really good. Had El Español breakfast too and was really good. Prices was fair.

I ordered a 4 cheese egg sandwhich. The bread was burn, old and crumbled. They just put pieces of cheese on eggs on their inedible bread. They wouldn’t eat what they served. See pictures. (The coffee was good).

I visited the website using Google since I was at Miami Beach. I ordered online and they never delivered to me. I had to go to this place and realized that their service is really poor. Th person who was there was chatting and chatting instead of being focused on his work. I wont ever go to this place. Food is good but service sucks.

The tequeños are the best, super stuffed with cheese, and the pastries are delicious. If you visit you must have tequeños and fresh orange juice. The girls at the counter are always so polite and helpful

Review №32

So delicious! All the types of empanadas are distinctive (Venezuelan, Chilean and Argentinian) with perfect pastry crusts. The arepa I got was completely stuffed with tasty filling, as was the ham cachito. Prices were totally reasonable for the size of the pastries. Fresh squeezed OJ and cafe con leche are yummy too. I didnt get any sweet pastries but they look amazing. Finally, the person working the counter and espresso machine was super nice!

Review №33

We had the breakfast arepas and they were amazing! We were so so excited to visit this place and It was the first stop on our first visit to Miami. The only con is we had just driven into town five hours and they did not have a restroom for paying customers. We had to take our food to go to find one.

Review №34

They got my entire pickup order wrong (which I thankfully checked in the store). My black coffee had milk in it. My bacon breakfast had sausage instead. My ham and cheese empanada was not an empanada. And they did not give me the bread I ordered. It took forever for them to “fix” my order. I could tell one worker felt bad for me. She was apologetic. I walked out after 20 minutes with no food, and will never go back.

The Venezuelan empanadas are light, flaky and delicious with several filling options. We also had two different egg breakfast plates, one seasoned blend of eggs, ham, green peppers, tomatoes, onions, with a side of two real corn arepas (you actually taste the corn) and a mini tequeno oozing with a mild white cheese. The other healthier choice we made was four egg whites, spinach, ricotta, with a crisp, but soft pressed baguette and a side of four ham croquettes... tender ham perfectly surrounded by a blissful crust of bread crumbs. It made for a great start today! Took some sinful pastries to go for later, so if your in Miami Beach, find your way to enjoy some Latin oven lovin! 👍👍 #Flavatown #STAhungry

Food is good the arepas are delicious, they just need some sort of system when you order for pick up the food your self, if the owner is not there employees cant get your order.

Review №51

My girls and I went to the bakery and we were being ignored by staff. We were asking questions about the different types of filling and they ignored us. One of my girls ordered a medium mocchiato and they took almost an hour to get the order right and they still didn’t get it right. Horrible customer service. They don’t seem to care. Also, they don’t have some of the items listed on their menu. It was just trash.

Didnt even finish my sandwich.Best coffee I have had so far in Miami.Reasonably priced for breakfast or lunch.Not a lot of seating so be patient and wait your turn😁Fantastic staff!

Nice place to eat lunch in Miami Beach. They have a lunch special for every day of the week (weekends included) that costs $10.95. I went on a Saturday and I chose the grilled chicken with rice and beans special. Recommended for a quick healthy meal at a fair price!

Breakfast is amazing. Coffee is amazing. Only thing bothered me was that the menu they have on the wall is “not up to date “. So whatever you order, it will cost more.

Review №69

Service was good and friendly. We tried the chicken and waffles. Waffles were a bit tough and not flavorful. The chicken pieces were more like a chicken fritter of sorts. I would not recommend them. We did not try the bakery items, so this review should not dissuade you from trying this place for those

Photos of this place are so deceiving! Its literally a hole in the wall and a very uninviting one at that. There was no one in there and we didnt venture in so I dont know if the food is any good. Not going to find out either.

Was pretty excited to try their empanadas based on reviews. I got the Venezuela and Argentina chicken empanadas, and I was very disappointed. They were too oily, and the filling almost had no taste. But everyone also loves this place for breakfast and I went in the evening. So maybe they lose their form by then. Great staff and great prices though.

Review №91

Sooo I am visiting south beach and I’m pregnant and wanted something sweet! I decided to get their choc. Chip cookies w Nutella, strawberry cheesecake and some cake I thought would be chocolate but with apps like that you never know... ANYWAY honest opinion it’s not at all what I’m used to.. the cookies were the good part and they were a little hard... the cheese cake is more of a moose doesn’t taste much like cheese cake and the “ chocolate” cake had no flavor at all from the cake to the icing I know Miami is very diverse culturally And that great! But maybe that was the difference I just wasn’t a fan! But everyone should form their own opinion! :)

This was my breakfast spot. Love the variety of empanadas from Colombia, Argentina, Chile and more. Here is where I discovered arepas for the very first time, the reina pepiada and carne mechada are the absolute best. They also have cachapas, tequeños, pastries, eggs, waffles ... Basically everything and their coffee is good.
