117 SE 2nd Ave

Very cute place and colorful and yummy especially the pistachio crepe and burrata avocado croissant...it's like this place new my stomach well!

The pastries are heavenly. Everything is so beautifully prepared you almost don't want to eat it however, when you do, you will not be surprised to know the taste also reflects the experience, everything is excellent. The only problem is, you won't know what to order because there's so many great choices. You must come here more than once. There's something here for everyone; if you are watching what you eat their homemade granola is what I recommend as well as their Ayurvedic teas . The almond croissant is a winner along with salted salmon. Friendly and quick service. This location offers a french bistro vibe now playing Christmas music. Just know that you will not get a free refill on regular coffee so pace yourself drinking coffee if you wanna have it with your pastry.

Cute ambiance, nice service, quiet cafe to catch up with friends. I ordered the spinach apple smoothie and it was fine. I appreciate that they don't add sugar and they use real fruits not juice.

I live in the downtown neighborhood and stopped in for a coffee. This is a great find - a cozy hip downtown café for breakfast, lunch, coffee, or dinner.

I found this spot on instagram and knew I had to give it a shot! This cafe is located downtown and offers Ukrainian pastries as well as breakfast items. They have plenty of seating inside and even offer a couple outdoor seating options. The cafe is super cute and has lots of insta-worthy spots of pics! I came in and ordered a salmon breakfast sandwich on a croissant, an eclair and an iced matcha latte. The staff was pretty friendly and the person helping me while I ordered suggested the eclair when I couldn't make up my mind. Everything looks delicious and the eclair did not disappoint! They use really vanilla beans in the pastries which is always a plus. The staff did notify me that the croissants were still baking and it would be awhile to the offered to make the sandwich on their other bread which we accepted, the substitution did not disappoint! Portions are large so I was glad we shared! I also loved the matcha latte and the glassware it came in. Highly recommend!

There is not enough space in this box to describe what went well? The amazing Ukrainian cafe is well represented by staff and products. The first breakfast I had there was so amazing and yummy I spent way too much on pastries to go! I had the crepe with caviar, it was 100%. My friend Wendy had the breakfast croissant sandwich. Over the course of 3 days we tried many things including the Ukrainian Borscht that was superb. 5 Stars on all cylinders!

New casual bakery downtown! This casual spot has more seating than you'd expect and super fair prices. I stopped in for some pastries to go and was delighted to try their staple- the napoleon. I was in and out quickly, and was happy with the price I paid. Definitely want to try their Honduran coffee soon.

We stopped by here as we had never been to a Ukrainian cafe before. It was a cute cafe spot but could definitely benefit from more space and seating. We had to wait a little bit to find a table. Service was great here and staff was very friendly. We ordered some iced lattes to go along with our generously filled and giant pistachio croissant, shakshuka, and syrniki with vanilla cream. The syrniki were something I never tried before and I enjoyed how soft and fluffy they were. Overall, it is great place to hang out and enjoy a little brunch meal.

Beautiful new little cafe in downtown! My friend and I spontaneously went after having lunch next door at Dumplings Mi Amor (also a fantastic place to check out!) since we heard this place was brand new. The decor inside is so beautiful, very tropical chic and I loved their cool curvy mirror in the front against a beautiful tropical background. I believe this is a Ukrainian-owned business, one of the young men working came from the Ukraine and was only on his second day in the country! Great to support Ukrainian nationals, especially in light of the challenges their country is facing with the current conflict. All the pastries were beautifully presented and they offered samples of their cheesecake, which was delicious. I got a slice of their raspberry pistachio honey cake to take home and it was delicious. I also got an iced latte with hazelnut syrup and coconut milk. Definitely recommend for a beautiful pasty and quick coffee! They also seem to sell their cakes whole, this would be a great place to pick up something special for a friend/party given how beautiful and tasty the pastries are. Wishing Vanilla Cafe all the best for a successful opening!

This new spot is very cute. I enjoyed my mango passion fruit pavlova and the service was good too. The person behind the counter was very knowledgeable. I'd go back and take a friend next time.

Really cute bakery in downtown miami. I heard from a friend they had great croissants, so i had to stop by! Its small & cozy, nice service and really cute seating area & their glassware is overly cute. See pics. I really enjoyed the creaminess of the pistachio filled croissant, it tasted like real pistachio, and not overly sweet. The capuchino was perfect. I would visit again, do keep in mind parking could be a hassle (be patient or uber), its very small, so you might have to wait for a table, or be open to sit at the bar.. its ideal for small groups. I would like to visit again & try more baked goods. See you soon!

I think this is a breath of fresh air for Downtown. Vanilla is a little Ukrainian bakery with an impressive array of pastries and cakes made in house. I loved the vanilla eclair and mango cake. They also have coffee and matcha, both of which were great. They also serve lunch and breakfast. You just have to scan the little QR for the menu on the table. I got the buratta croissant and not only was it delicious but the size of my head!

Everything was amazing!!! I had the salmon with egg dish and it was so creamy and filling. I am doing a low-carb diet and it was perfect for it. My mom ordered a vanilla croissant and she loved it. I wish I could have tried it.

This is a great bakery next to Dumplings mi Amor. It's w blocks from the metro, and an overall cute store. Their cheesecake is unique and leans on the cheesy side. The honey cake is great if you don't like your desserts too sweet, but prefer creamy. Staff is so kind and helpful!

Grate place to stop by for your daily dose of coffee. They had one of the best cappuccinos in town. Many different options for pastry's and food there decently give you a great variety of Ukrainian cuisines. Delicious! Nice atmosphere, great and fast services. Super kind and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a delicious and unique place in Miami. And I will for sure be back soon:)

Truly a hidden gem! Every bite of everything we ordered was a delight to eat. The Creamy Fish Omelette, Mediterranean Sun Shakshuka, the Syrniki Vanilla Baby, and the Vegan Snickers Bar were just delicious. I am thrilled that this cafe has come to the neighborhood. The owner knows what he's doing- I love Vanilla Cafe!

The ambiance and service was incredible. Very friendly and helpful. Ordered a matcha, an iced latte and a chocolate croissant to try. The matcha was high quality and not overly sweet. The chocolate croissant was good but overwhelmingly sweet for my taste. Unfortunately, the iced latte was not to my liking, I believe it might've been the espresso they used. I'd give them another try!

If they're going to charge 18% autograt (which is not mentioned and thus illegal), i expect to be seated at a table and have my order taken by a waiter at said table...not walk up to a countertop and pay via iPad. I expect autograt out of full service restaurants...not countertop cafes. Got a drink and small pastry. Very average. They have a billion fake milks but no reduced fat milk, only whole milk. Cashier didn't seem too friendly either. There are nicer places nearby. Cute inside but they could do a better job cleaning the tables. A rather stale atmosphere perhaps because it was quite empty. A bit cramped and in a crappy part of downtown.

The food is so delicious. My friends and I were visiting from California and stopped in to the Vanilla Cafe. The place is beautifully decorated. Very Instagram ready. I had the avocado toast and an iced latte and it was so good! The service was great, the workers friendly. Highly recommend stopping in if you are in the Miami downtown area.

Beautiful place with delicious coffee and desserts! Service was amazing, cashier and barista were very polite, made sure we had a good time and got everything we wanted. Wishing the best luck to Vanilla cafe, their sense of humor in instagram is great!

The food was delicious and good-looking. Great selection of pastries and cakes, The Madagascar vanilla eclair is my personal best!

Great place for breakfast, just in the heart of Miami Downtown! Food was delicious. RAF coffee is great!

Great little place. Food was delicious and service was great. I also enjoyed the vibe of the place.

Great local spot really good coffee and excellent pastries! Really enjoyed my visit to vanilla cafe

We also got an iced latte & Popeye smoothie everything was SO YUMMY! There were also sweet pasties that we sampled & might have to go back for! So cute inside & the employees were lovely

Vanilla cafe is welcoming, clean and most importantly their food is delicious. Their coffee is top notch, and desserts are both pretty and flavorful.

Amazing service. Sadly they were out of the chocolate bars when we went, but their croissant made up for it and then some. The manager was super kind and empathetic. Highly highly recommend. Will definitely be back!!

This place is so delicious I feel like I'm in Paris I'm absolutely obsessed I got fresh orange juice and all the treats melt in your mouth

This afternoon we found this very cute little place in downtown Miami. The coffee was really good, the meringue with mango and passionfruit was delicious (the other desserts looked very tempting too) and the service was awesome. Definitely will go back!

Terrible attitude. Asked for a plain croissant, first I was they didn't have any, then they did. The cashier was extremely rude and handed me the bag by shaking it in my face. The croissant was not flaky as would be a freshly made croissant. I went back to inquire if they made their croissant or was this store bought. Was told "if you don't like it you can throw it away" As someone that lives in the neighborhood I try to purchase from local pubs and restaurants. With that attitude won't be going back ever again!

Stop searching and choose Vanilla. Just had breakfast (Avocado Toast- Tropical Smoothie) delicious! We had some time to kill before boarding our cruise and we came across Vanilla. The ambiance was calming and cool. The service was amazing. 100% recommend.

Food and service was 10/10. We ordered breakfast croissants and avocado toast. Both platters were delicious. I also ordered Carmel and vanilla latte. Also 10/10

Really enjoyed my time there! Clearly just getting started up and some seating arrangements they're gonna fill out. But the pastries were good and it was a great latte. I like that it's more of a quiet vibe but will be interested to see how they handle the seating. Enjoyed !

Das ist ja natürlich besten Kaffee in der Miami!!! Und die Süßigkeiten war auch super!! immer wieder

seriously one of my new favorite places in Miami! everything was amazing. service was great, the burrata croissant omg! must try if you're in downtown.
