Brewing Buddha Cafe & Arthouse

Brewing Buddha is one of those places that looks super cute inside and clearly has a loyal following because it is packed, and I mean packed, almost every single time. Para ser sincera, the space is tiny for the amount of people that go, and I get overstimulated the moment I walk in. There is barely room to move and you feel people right on top of you. Their team, however, deserves all the credit in the world. You can tell they work under a crazy pace and somehow still manage to stay kind and get orders out fast. De verdad que I don’t know how they survive that daily because it’s intense in there. The concept is great, but I feel like this is a classic case of a hidden gem that got too busy too fast. And cuando eso pasa, quality can start to slip. The coffee was okay. We tried the banana bread latte which had a light banana flavor, sweet and cute pero not strong. The lemon cookie matcha was actually amazing. That one stood out. Their sandwiches, though, were disappointing. For the price, getting a cold sandwich with chips that feels like something from a gas station was a letdown. They truly have a good idea and great drinks, but I think they need a bigger space and a chance to slow down so they can bring back the passion and attention they clearly put into their drinks. Con más espacio y menos rush, this place could really shine again.

Friendly and knowledgeable service from the staff. The place is cute and cozy, creating a nice atmosphere. The food was fresh and tasty. We also ordered a coconut matcha latte and a banana matcha latte—both were okay, though not standout. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and a nice spot to visit.

"Who ya gonna call?" Brewing Buddha!! Lol (reference to the Ghostbusters themed painting pictured here on the cool natural wood wall). I LOVE funky, artsy, different coffee houses like these!! Josh my barista and Manager was sweet, kind, helpful, and a pleasure to order from, as was Maria who told me the story of how the 2 owners Jordan & Cassidy roast their own beans and make their own syrup. As a Wedding & Event DJ in Miami, I put much love into my work and channel the love from my events, so I can FEEL the love that they've put into this cool, must-visit coffee shop. Loved my cappucino and the jar type mug it was served in! Very different and funky! Didn't try the food, but one customer here commented on how good her sandwich was. Highly recommend, and to use another famous movie reference (said in a heavy Austrian accent ) "I'll be back!" Lol very cool, mood boosting typa place!

Coffee is WAY to sweet, even when you add an extra shot of espresso & ask for it to be less sweet. It was undrinkable. The breakfast toast was very mid but the waffle was delicious. Overpriced as well.

I had such a great time at Brewing Buddha Cafe & Arthouse! The place has this awesome vibe with amazing coffee and cool artwork everywhere. I ordered the almond butter and blueberry toast and a cinnamon roll, and oh my gosh, they were so good! The iced latte was just perfect too. The staff was super friendly and made me feel really welcome. You can tell they love what they do and really care about making sure everyone has a great experience. If you're in Miami and looking for a fantastic coffee shop with a unique atmosphere, you have to check out Brewing Buddha Cafe & Arthouse. I'll definitely be back!

Highly recommend the Crème brûlée latte. It is only served hot and is sweet. Relaxing atmosphere to get work done during the weekday.

1 of the many spots in miami where it’s presentation over Substance. It’s very packed in there . The food is mid: the coffee just taste sweet even when ask for less sweet (even tho cashier doesn’t even ask) . Lavender latte, s’mores lattee, Cuban cold brew - all too sweet. It taste like milkshake with some coffee: that’s my personal preference but the people are nice and the aesthetic is nice inside . The waffles taste good

Place is ok. A bit loud. A typical millennial coffee shop. The avocado toast was really good. The coffees were decent. I’d say give it a try. There seems to be something for everyone.

Stopped in for cookie butter lattes and loved them so much we retuned the next day for breakfast. The waffles and breakfast toast are amazing. The lattes are unbeatable.

From the moment you walk into Brewing Buddha Cafe & ArtHouse, it feels like someone hit the "coffee shop" setting on cozy and artistic simultaneously. The decor blends rustic wood, warm lighting, and local art -- the kind of vibe where you can go solo with your laptop or catch up with a friend while still feeling connected to the space. The location: 8219 SW 124th St, Miami (just south of Pinecrest) makes it convenient. What stands out most: * The coffee is clearly more than just "grab and go". They've put care into their craft -- the website even says they spent evenings perfecting recipes.

I'm not sure how to start here. I had really high expectations for Brewing Buddha provided all the high reviews from fellow Yelpers, however my experience was far from it. I was in the Pinecrest/Palmetto Bay area this weekend and this was a great opportunity to stop by Brewing Buddha and finally try their coffee. I had them bookmarked for a while. What I most liked from Brewing Buddha was their ambiance and decoration. The rustic couches and coffee tables, I really like that, nicely done. I had their turkey pesto sandwich and an iced lavender latte. The turkey sandwich was one of the most basic sandwiches I have had in a good while, priced at $14 with chips from a store chips bag. A home made sandwich is much better than this. I'm guessing they buy the ingredients at Costco(or similar) and assemble the sandwich and pack everything in a plastic container. This is more like a gas station sandwich. Also, why is this packed in a plastic container if the order was to dine in? The coffee was pretty average and too sweet for my taste, even though I asked for no sweetener. I was told they needed to use some sweetener to balance the lavender base, so I asked for stevia but the final coffee was too sweet and with the lavender overpowering the coffee. I should have sticked with a regular latte.

We had the white chocolate macadamia latte, which was delicious! I had the hot raspberry tea which was so good. My niece had the avocado toast which was fresh and tasty. Great music and vibe. The wine spot next door is more of an afternoon vibe but we were here for brunch. Good little south Miami spot !

The coffee is amazing! The only draw back was it's a super small space so not ideal to do some work.

A great spot to have a great coffee. Me and my fiance were here for the first time and we loved the place ! It has amazing matcha and great choices for lattes! I tried their croissant ham and cheese sandwich it was good but nothing out of this world. If your looking for great coffee this is a good choice

Cute spot with rustic decor and friendly staff. I went to try the chai but they had ran out, so I tried ordering the raspberry tea and of course, they were out of that one too. I ended up with watermelon tea. Thankfully I ordered it unsweetened because it was so sweet on its own. It tastes like watermelon Jolly Rancher which is somewhat enjoyable for the first few sips, but it quickly became overwhelming. If you like that flavor then you'll love it, but I was only able to drink like a third of it. The music at this place is so loud, I could hear it through my noise cancelling head phones. The seats are also incredibly stiff and uncomfortable, and the space itself is very small and cramped. I may return to try the chai, but definitely not to stay.

Small mama & papa cafe (which if you've been following me, you know I love). Hipster ambiance, nice service and the small menu food is exquisite. The place was rockin' with customers and outside seating is available. Order at the counter, pay, take a number and be seated. Hardly no waiting. For those familiar with Pinecrest, the Brewing Buddha shares same parking lot as The Boulangerie Bakery & Cafe.

Tried their Banana bread latte w/ almond milk & an extra shot of espresso. It was delicious. Tasted just like a slice of banana bread fresh out the oven. Price was $10.63 because I substituted the milk for almond milk and added an extra shot of espresso but regular price for the latte is about $6 and some change - which is a great price considering other coffee shops charge $10 for their coffee's and then charge extra for additions and substitutions. The spot is small & cozy. Service is always great.

Stopped by on a Friday morning around 8:30 AM. Had a cappuccino and ham & cheese croissant. Both were excellent, and the service was really friendly There's plenty of tables inside and a few tables outside. You can tell a lot of locals are customers.

There's a huge variety of breakfast items here and the atmosphere is pretty upbeat and cool. It gets pretty crowded in weekends. I showed up just after 10 and just beat the crowd, as the line was out the door shortly after. There is a good selection of drinks, but I was a little underwhelmed with what I got. The food was also good, but not amazing and felt like things I could make at home. I'd recommend it for a very casual breakfast vibe to meet up with friends.

This is a go to coffee spot for me. I tend to stay with the same orders because I know it will get the job done but ... I tried the cookies and cream cold brew... I can have 10 please. if you like coffee and Oreos, it's a MUST

We went here on a Sunday afternoon, it was absolutely packed with people. Nearly every place to sit was full and there were more and more people coming in to order drinks and food. The service was very slow, especially for the food. But the food and drinks were both pretty much excellent, I recommend this place despite how crowded it was.

I've been visiting brewing Buddha since they opened. I love all the unique coffees and teas on their menu. Every once in awhile they change up the menu but it always remains tasty with many options to choose from. My favorite is the midnight coconut latte it's truly the best coffee I've ever tried and I'm a big coffee drinker. All the employees are extremely friendly. Honestly, I just love the vibe this place gives off very bohemian. If you're ever in the neighborhood and looking for a unique coffee experience, you don't wanna miss brewing Buddha.

Living down south is hard to find a good coffee shop that's NOT a nationwide brand, nothing wrong with them but there is something about local coffee shops that makes them unique and I always support local Brewing Buddha has been opened for over 7 years now and their craft just keeps getting better! Owned by 2 brothers (one is nicer than the other, gotta figure out which one) and you can tell they are serious about coffee. Handmade reclaimed wood tables and wall art makes it very unique with good vibes! NOT OPEN ON SUNDAYS!

This Cafe is fantastic! The midnight coconut latte is delicious and a repeat fave, so are their other custom creations like Banana Bread and Butterscotch. Recommend it for anyone who enjoys iced lattes or espresso creations on the sweeter side. I like that they have a less sweet option, makes it easier for folks like me who like a touch of sweetness in lattes but not have it overpower the espresso.

Good coffee very yummy but not being able to add flavor was ridiculous. Cute environment nice music but ita overpriced and terribly hipster in my opinion.

Thank you for the kind and helpful service. I appreciated the low key yet inviting environment too. Coffee and the iced matcha tea were excellent. I really enjoy the all natural matcha ceremonial brew so I'll be back for some more, after the gym again. Indoors and outdoors are clean and comfy. Indoors smells fresh and the light energy with live money plants makes the experience all the better.

Great little coffee spot in Pinecrest just off US-1! Brewing Buddha has that true coffee-house feel, with repurposed coffee bean bag seat cushions and a warm and cozy interior design. Their menu has a mix of fun and unique drinks like the Kettle Corn Latte, Island Coconut Cold Brew, and Lemon Cookie Matcha. Today I tried the Cinnamon Roll Iced Latte, and deliciously sweet and cinnamony drink with just the right ratio of milk to coffee (sometimes with sweeter drinks the espresso gets lost in the mix). Check this spot out the next time you're in the area and looking for a coffee fix!

Brewing Buddha Cafe is the perfect example of consumers operating around a business when it's good and it is THAT good. They are not open on Sundays and close at 7pm Monday-Saturday, but there is not one time I have visited this cafe and have not seen it bustling with life. This is not your average coffee chain spot and do not expect to come here, place your order and rush out the door. It's not that type of vibe here. The vibe is respectable and chill, slow and steady , and the staff carries & conducts themselves accordingly. Your order is made with thoughtfulness and care. My go-to is always the coconut matcha latte, even if you're not a fan of matcha or never tried it before, I highly recommend. I could also eat spoonfuls of their avocado crème on anything, but start with the Buddha fruit cup. If you are looking to grab and go, you can always order on Ubereats pick-up, but keep in mind that the staff will wait and prepare some of your items upon your arrival to not compromise the integrity and quality of your meal, and you will appreciate them for it.

I saw this place come up a few times on my social media feed because of their different cold brews, so I knew I had to stop by. I went early and good thing too, about 30 minutes after opening on a Saturday morning, the place was packed. The turkey avocado sandwich was the perfect combination of light and hearty. The cookies n' cream cold brew was delicious but if you're not a sweet fan, it might be too much. The next visit is for the nitro cafe con leche cold brew!

I have heard of this spot for years. When a friend suggested we check it out . I knew that I had to . It is a small cafe with a cozy vibe. A good spot to catch up with friends. I saw people with their laptops. But I wouldn't recommend the spot for studying the seats are not comfortable and it's too loud . Let's talk about the coffee. The menu is on point it has everything . I went with the lavender latte it was yum ! There's a rose matcha on the menu that I want to try next time. The price came up to 6-7 dollars . The standard price for a coffee in 2024. I would recommend this spot ! Something different in the Miami coffee scene.

Stopped by for a latte while visiting for work. Had the absolute best creamiest chocolate peanut butter latte! The sandwich left a little bit to be desired as it was plain and although it's a personal preference--I really hate the multigrain bread with the chewy seeds in it. Overall, a cute place with a decent amount of seating and extremely friendly baristas ...worth checking out!

Visited this location today. Ordered the smaller size of the cinnamon roll latte. The cashier was welcoming and professional. The latte was well balanced with milk, espresso, and ice and was tastefully garnished with cinnamon. I docked stars from this rating because the syrup flavor tasted very artificial and over powered the espresso. It was not well balanced with the drink in my opinion. Perhaps a better option for someone who is not big on the espresso flavor itself. The cafe had great vibes, music, and decor. I may return.

First time at Brewing Buddha, and it was a solid experience. Tried the nitro cold brew and café con leche cold brew, both were bold and hit the spot. The smoked ham sandwich was super tasty, definitely recommend it. The place is small and was pretty packed when we got there, but luckily, a table opened up right after we ordered. Chill vibes and good food!

This is one of the cutest little cafes and if I had more free time I would be here so much more often. The coffee is amazing and they even have a variety of different milk choices (while, 2%, almond and oat). The ambience is incredibly cozy and yet still very cool. I tried the Campfire S'mores Latte and it was delicious (they hooked me with the dark chocolate flavor over milk chocolate). We also grabbed the Turkey Avocado Sandwich which was to die for. I'm a sucker for a tasty turkey sandwich and this hit the spot along with the best kettle cooked chips I've had in a while. All in all, I will absolutely be back.

A really cute and unique cafe. I would come back! They have a lot of unique drink options, and it's a great place to come and study. The ambiance is nice. I wish it was a bit brighter inside, but a nice atmosphere nonetheless.

This place has one of the best coffee's around. The unique flavors are out of control. They're really killing it. Great vibes and good coffee what more can you ask for?!

Stopped by this local coffee shop on a Sunday I tried their matcha with rose flavor, it was refreshing, smooth, and just the right touch of floral. Definitely a great spot to grab a unique drink and relax for a bit. I'll be back to try more!

Brewing Buddha is a great place to meet up with a friend to chat or to sit down and do a little work at one of their tables. I have tried several of their teas, and my favorite is the Citrus Turmeric, which feels fresh and not too sweet. Every time I have gone, the staff is warm and friendly. They are good with suggestions as well. I have had their food in the past and enjoyed it. It is a small space, but I have always been able to find a table. Even on weekday mornings in the summer, it is pretty full! Parking is easy and free since it's at a shopping center. It is also nice to order a cold drink then walk over to Evelyn Greer Park across the street and sit in the breezy pavilion or go for a walk around the track.

Stopped by Brewing Buddha for a cup of coffee and something to snack on while on the way to a friends house. Ordered the midnight coconut coffee and it was absolutely out of this world. Very flavorful coffee and loved every sip of it. Ordered the guava and cheese bagel which was very good as well. I just only wish they had cinnamon raisin bagel so I could have it with but it was absolutely delicious still. Very nice place with a great atmosphere.

Buddha Coffee isn't just a coffee shop, it's a warm, welcoming haven. From the moment you step in, the friendly staff and the owners, Jordan and Cassidy, make you feel right at home. The cozy yet lively vibe makes it the perfect spot to catch up with friends or enjoy a quiet moment alone. The coffee is exceptional, with each sip reflecting the care put into every roast. My personal favorite is the Banana Bread Latte. Yummy pure comfort in a cup! You can even grab a bag of their beans to recreate the magic at home. Buddha Coffee is my go to for both the coffee and the sense of community they create. If you're in Miami, don't miss it!

One of the best coffee shops I have been to. They have amazing coffee and food. As well a great place to study or just to have a nice cup of coffee with a friend. Definitely recommend!

A must try; This used to be my go to brunch spot when i lived down south. The vibe is so uplifting with the artsy coffee house decor. The food and refreshments are exceptionally delicious and a piece of art themselves aside from what they'll sell you on the walls!

LOVEEEEE this unique Coffee and Arthouse shop! Til this day, still one of my favorite cafe's EVER! i used to visit a lot & couldn't get enough of this place, LITERALLY ! my fav thing aside from the Campfire S'mores Latte (available AYR), is their Buddha Fruit Cup! my god!!! *mouthwatering* it's the best thing i've ever had! Fresh fruit, usually always strawberries, blueberries, & bananas on top of a sweet avocado cream! scrumptious!!!! They have plenty of different food and drinks to choose from at this place ~ the place itself is sooo lovely inside, customer service is always good! limited parking but it's in a plaza so there's plenty around it. I would highly recommend paying this place a visit, it will NOT disappoint!

This is hands down my favorite coffee house, not just in Miami but overall. Their innovative flavors, quality, and excellent service make them my favorite. The Banana Bread Latte from Brewing Buddha is my favorite Latte. They say this is "comfort in a cup," and it is. It comes hot or iced, and I went with hot since the barista recommended hot if you want the nutty notes to be more present. It smells like banana bread and tastes like you are taking a bite of a fresh loaf. This is a must-have!! During the summer months, I prefer to have it iced. From their coffees, I also like their Lavender, wild rose, and midnight coconut lattes. The Peach Sunrise tea is also excellent. Their Lemon Poppyseed waffles are divine. These have a well-balanced sweetness that you don't even need syrup on them. The guava cream cheese bagel is so good! The cream cheese is made with guava jam, then sliced strawberries are added. An everything bagel with cream cheese is also great. Their house waffles are also a great option; they come with bananas and strawberries.

I like it it's cute. The coffees are all different and quirky and the staff is really sweet. I wouldn't get any of the food though not worth it and very basic.

Whether you're into plain drip coffee or cinnamon sugar coffee, there's a drink to satisfy every craving here! I opted to be basic (this time) and go for a vanilla oat milk latte. It was a bit too sweet IMO, but I believe you can customize it to be done with less pumps of vanilla, etc. Had some waffles (sausage and egg) that were BOMB! I was caught off guard when I was served waffles without any sausage or egg, but that's because they're IN the waffle mix... pretty dope :)

Coffee on another level! Try their lavender or rose flavored ones. The atmosphere is amazing. Someday I'll stop by long enough to enjoy it! Haha! Please never close!

So one of my pseudo Yelp Elite friends insisted to visit this coffee shop and he was so persistent that I received the same Yelp link twice. In fact I initially had to take this coffee shop out of my draft itinerary because the location was somewhat off the way from Wynwood and Miami Beach. Heck adding this coffee shop could jeopardize the entire itinerary. Luckily our group had an extra hour to kill before our 10 AM stadium tour so I made a spontaneous decision to stop by this coffee shop in order to satisfy my friend's ultimate desire. [Parking]: Free and easy parking situation with plenty of spots. [Menu]: According to the staff, some of the most popular latte drinks include Midnight Coconut, Banana Bread, and Cinnamon Roll. I have been to many coffee shops in Los Angeles and it was my 1st time seeing creative latte flavors like Kettle Corn, Caramel Apple Pie, Wild Rose, Creme Brulee, and Blueberry Crumb Cake. As for cold brews, they offer flavors such as Lemon Meringue Pie, Coconut Cream Pie, Sweet Cream, Cookie N' Cream, House Nitro, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Cuban Cafe Con Leche. Heck even their matcha lattes have crazy flavors like lemon cookie, lychee, rose, and coconut. [Service]: One of employees got my order wrong (ice instead of hot), but I mentioned the wrong order and the staff fixed my order immediately. *** Midnight Coconut (sweet coconut and activated coconut charcoal - $6.49): The drink had the right sweetness and had smooth aftertaste. It was a very good flavored latte. *** Latte served by Brewing Buddha Cafe & Arthouse had same quality as other top-rated coffee shops in Los Angeles. It was definitely worth a quick stop and everyone in my party liked whatever drinks they had.

Brewing Buddha is the absolute BEST coffee near Kendall! From the moment you walk in, it's so cozy and all the staff are so friendly and sweet. I love coming here and have become a huge fan of their coffee - the quality is top notch, just the right amount of sweetness in my opinion, and so many cool options- I love the banana bread latte (getting this one hot, it's literally like having a warm hug!), cookie butter latte and the campfire s'mores latte! If you haven't gone, you have to give them a try!

My go to is Crema but wanted to switch it up so I gave this place a shot. My latte was weak and flavorless. Chairs are metal with no cushion so very uncomfortable and not ideal for enjoying a cup of coffee. I won't be returning as coffee at Crema is much better.

In our endless pursuit of coffee houses we decided to visit this venue. The decor is pretty original and welcoming. The coffee tasted amazing. The staff was friendly and pretty accommodating. Must say that this is a place I'll definitely be coming back to.

Cute coffee shop with vibrant artwork to enjoy while you sip on your hot cup of coffee or cold brew. :) The staff here is friendly and approachable. They provide great recommendations if it's your first visit and you don't know what to order. They are well known for their captain crunch latte which is topped with captain crunch berry cereal! We got the pistachio latte, creme brulee latte, and the iced cuban coffee. The pistachio latte was pistachio forward, meaning you can definitely taste the nutty pistachio taste. It may be worthy to ask them to lessen the pistachio syrup so it doesn't mask the wonderful coffee taste. However, if you love pistachio, this would definitely be your cup of coffee to jumpstart the morning. The creme brulee latte was a bit on the sweeter side for me. I definitely enjoyed the creme brulee and burnt sugar top on the latte, but the latte drink itself was too sweet outside of the top layer of sugar. I would get this again with reduced sugar or sweetness if possible. However, creme brulee lattes are not sold everywhere, so I would still recommend this. The iced cuban coffee was very nice to sip on. This is a good go-to if you aren't into flavored coffee. The artwork was phenomenal and are actually available for purchase. I saw a cute Snoopy and Winnie-the-Pooh artwork. Love it! Great vibes, fun enviornment, and overall a nice coffee shop to stop at.

I'm not lying this is one of my favorite coffees in miami!! And I am a coffee snob! There were so many unique flavors to choose from, it was hard to pick! The barista suggested the cinnamon roll (my favorite dessert) and it tasted just like it! But not in an overly-sweet way! Just perfect. I loved the decor and to top it off -- the fire Leon bridges playlist. What a spot! The baristas were kind and helpful. 11/10 coffee shop.

My daughters had been wanting to try this coffee shop after I came across it on Yelp! We quickly went to their IG page and I was super impressed! So we finally checked it out today and it was all THAT & then SOME! The coffee is very rich. Definitely tastes unique and very fresh. Not like any other coffee I have tasted. I don't like cold coffee regardless if it's 100 degrees outside. I love hot coffee BUT my daughters prefer cold brews, so they ordered the Cinnamon Roll & the Maple Pecan iced latte and they said it tasted exactly like it's namesake. I had to take a little sip to see for myself if they weren't exaggerating and they were absolutely right! Tasted like a cinnamon bun and the other one had a very distinct pecan taste with a hint of maple. It wasn't overpowering. It was PERFECTION!! They also had the Turkey Avocado Pesto and they said it was very good. Nice cool, fresh sandwich. Perfect for a steamy summer day! Oh and I went back and ordered the Dark Chocolate Raspberry latte (because I have an obsession with anything raspberry) and boy was it AMAZING. The first flavor that you taste immediately is the velvety, rich chocolate and then the sweet, tangy raspberry. Oh my gosh as I'm writing this, I am craving a cup! I haven't tasted anything that compares! This coffee shop is definitely one-of-a-kind!!! By the way, they also have very cool artwork displayed on the walls. It's a real cool place to take a step back, relax & unwind from all the chaos & stress!

Such a cute place! I got the lemon cookie Matcha divine! The food also looked delicious. The vibe was great.

So we wanted to try a new coffee shop and this brewing Buddha cafe was awesome. I tried an iced salted caramel latte. It was really good I did get less sugar I don't really like flavored coffee but this was good. The staff was great. And service was fast. And it's a cute cafe to sit and enjoy your coffee. Lots of parking.

This place has the best exotic syrups that still taste natural and doesn't distract from the high-quality coffee itself.
