Cafe Americano

Perfect food. Service was awesome. Ambience of course was nice. Their pesto pizza was really tasty. Everything felt good there. I can't think of anything that wasn't good here. I sat inside but they have outdoor seating as well.

We decided to try this place because of its location on ocean drive but we were pleasantly surprised with the food quality. My fish fry was one of the best I've ever had, very well seasoned and large portion size. My husband tried the wings and was also more than satisfied. It is a bit pricier due to its location but we loved the people watching.

We had an amazing experience at Café Americano in Miami. Our server, Indira, was absolutely wonderful. Not only is she stunning, but she made us feel like queens, checking in on everything, giving great recommendations, and even modifying the dishes to match our preferences. It was such a pleasure dining there, chatting with her, and watching the lively South Beach scene with all the cars and people passing by. We’d definitely come back!

Giselle was amazing! Incredible waitress from the very start. Very pleasant and took our order without any issues. Extremely patient, noting the place was busy during Memorial Weekend. Giselle made sure our latte had a pretty heart every time. Thank you Gisselle at the Cafe Americano!!

The restaurant is cute, clean, and beautiful! The staff is great, attentive and friendly I was expecting my breakfast to be more flavorful. The egg had no salt, and the sausage that came with it was drier than the Vegas desert. But my husband spoke to the waitress, and she immediately replaced my sausage. She was very attentive the entire time! My husband’s sandwich was great! Our coffee was just ok. It’s not a restaurant I would come back to, and I found it expensive for the type of menu they offer The Tres Leches French toast is good!!!! No disrespect or offense intended, just my honest opinion

Had an amazing experience! The outside fans and the beautiful atmosphere was incredible. Made our experience very enjoyable! Our server Claudia was very sweet and answered all questions we had. Ask for her! We ordered the smash burger and the Chicken Brasa which were both very delicious. The location of this restaurant is top tier. Overall we had a very nice experience, 10/10 recommend!

Decided to hit up Ocean Drive in South Beach for breakfast. Stopped in at Café Americano. Like many of the restaurants on Ocean Drive, it was very touristy, very lively, very crowded even for a Sunday. Great breakfast menu, great selection of even breakfast cocktails and coffees and the best part was sitting outside. People everywhere, and from everywhere. Amazing cars riding up and down Ocean Drive with their music blasting. Beautiful weather, beautiful music beautiful and attentive staff. Overall great spot.

Pablo was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, he was welcoming, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. He was super friendly, had great energy, and made our dining experience so enjoyable. You can really tell he cares about his guests and takes pride in his work.! Thank you, Pablo, for the great service! You made the start of our morning even better! Also, the Tres Leches French Toast was incredible!

Hi this morning we went to cafe Americano for breakfast! Dani was our server he was super servicial and profesional . Food was delicious but attention was even better . Recommend this place .

Greater experience ever!!! Excelente comida y bebidas además de una vista increíble de la playa

Good brunch spot on the beach! Ask for outside seating to enjoy the beautiful weather. Saw people working with laptops too - so work friendly if that matters to you. Got the birria benedict and was pleasantly surprised! Beef is tender, sauce is not too strong. Love the mexican flavors incorporated into american style brunch.

We visited the restaurant for breakfast twice during our stay. The first visit was okay, nothing particularly memorable, but good enough to return and try something new. On our second visit, I ordered the Birria Benedict, which sounded incredible on the menu: slow-cooked brisket birria, melted Mexican cheese, served on an artisanal English muffin, topped with soft poached eggs and chipotle hollandaise, with breakfast potatoes on the side. Unfortunately, the dish didn't deliver. While the meat was present and flavorful, the cheese -- which was clearly advertised as melted, was nowhere to be found. When I asked about it, I was told it was "mixed into the meat," but it didn't come through in texture or flavor the way you'd expect, especially compared to a traditional birria taco. The eggs were also disappointing. Instead of a soft poached egg with a runny yolk, mine was closer to medium-boiled. The English muffin was extremely thick, which threw off the balance of the dish -- maybe that's the "artisanal" part, but it didn't work well here. Service during this visit wasn't the best, it felt a bit slow and they didn't care. I will say the breakfast potatoes were excellent and probably the highlight of the meal. Overall, the Birria Benedict was a great idea on paper, but the execution fell short. I'd recommend sticking to simpler menu items if you visit.

This place is an ok place to eat for brunch. The food was good but was shocked at the price of how much it was. Just for a mocktail it's $13. You can guess the rest after that.. for two people it was $90 without tip. Which is crazy to me. Welcome to Miami Beach I guess. The service was good though & it's a cute place. If you sit inside it's warm too, because they leave the doors open (at least the day we were there)

Ok enough place. Ever been to a place that's just Meh- food was mid. Little overpriced for what is was. Waitress was very nice. I wouldn't go back because there are enough places to go to to just be average in Miami- I wouldn't recommend but in no means saying don't go. This one is more on my style than maybe the restaurant

We were set by the hostess. Waited over 10 minutes for someone to even acknowledge us, while this place was "dead" on a Tuesday durning a lunch time. Mind you, there were 5+ staff members standing behind our table and not a single one of them had even tried to come up to us. We got up and left without even getting acknowledged.

The lobster tail and steak getting more oily after a while, but because we are sitting outside(on the walk side), so the food getting cold more easily. My mom loves the French Toast with Cream and Honey, but I think it's good oily. Overall, the food is okay, but I don't think it's valuable for 20% fixed tips.

Came here with a group of 4 ladies on a Thursday night. They have inside and outside seating right along Ocean Drive. We opted for outside so we could partake in some people watching while dining. We were brought to a table right out on the sidewalk and were promptly given some menus. 3 of us ordered beer and 1 person ordered the passion fruit martini. (Waiter's recommendation) it looked fabulous and she said it tasted really good. I ordered the Turkey Cobb Chop and it was really tasty and fresh with lots of turkey chunks and just the right amount of dressing. Two ladies had the Classic Steak Burgers with fries; and they both enjoyed every part: bun, steak patty, and the fries. The final member of our group had the Salmon Poke Bowl. It's a big portion with fresh salmon, radishes, cucumbers, sesame seeds, seaweed salad, avocado and rice. She loved it and took half of it to go. Our service was good too; and they added a 20% service charge which I personally like because it eliminates the guesswork. There are literally 100's of great restaurants in South Beach and dozens along Ocean Drive. I would still recommend Cafe Americano for at least one meal if you're visiting the area. They have a wide menu of food options and you won't be disappointed with the food, service, or location.

Was so disappointed! Saw a few photos from previous customers that there were iguanas but didn't see any! Other than that, food, service and location were great. There was some type of festival going on so there was plenty of people watching to go around. The shrimp bowl was like warm. Wasn't cold nor hot so not sure which would have been better. But still good and the portion was good size. Server was very friendly and always smiling.

Their breakfast was delicious and a lot of food. Nice patio. Very nice place for a calm morning by ocean drive. Service was great.

It was verry good and Claudia verry nice. Food is good . Gr from Holland ,,,,,,,,,,,

Stopped by for a bloody Maria and we are glad that we did. The drink was very good and came with two great tasting shrimps. Perfect beach feel with a great breeze blowing as we listened to easy listening music but beware it is pricey. 5 drinks came out to $140 (that's US currency). Service was outstanding and fast. You're not able to see the ocean from this view but still worth stopping by.

The food here is delicious and Emanuel was a great attentive server. The views are gorgeous too, We will definitely come back here!

Jennifer was so sweet, service was fast and welcoming!!! +food was amazing and super cutie ambiance.

The food was delicious! Emanuel made us feel at home during our vacation with excellent service and exceptional ambience. 10/10

Cafe Americano - nice setting beach side . Ordered breakfast here on a Monday morning - Açaí bowl plus the burrito and an Americano coffee . Service was friendly - when I mentioned the Americano coffee was poured from a jug of regular coffee sitting on a stand and look warm - our server went off to get one freshly made. Kudos for making that right. Food was good and quality of ingredients good. The only complaint I have with the restaurants here is this 20% slap on tip . It really is no incentive to the server to do anything but to bring the food and that's it - want your water glass filled - you better ask - so why am I paying 20% !!!

I had a good experience here twice. It's a little pricey for what you get, but you're basically paying for a location and view of the beach . One star deducted for not being upfront tip that was included. I don't mind as much anymore that it's included, but I am not happy when an option for tipping is presented when there is already a tip included without any comment from the server. My colleague ended up tipping 40%+ I had a breakfast burrito and a standard American breakfast burrito is a smallish but reasonably tasty. The American breakfast was perfectly fine. Outdoor seating was nice, inside was quite loud and echo-ey. If that's an issue for you recommend seating outdoors.

This place is very cute and instagram worthy. We sat outside on a nice evening and the scenery was so pretty. We got a round of cocktails. I got the espresso martini and it was so delicious and creamy. The other fruity cocktails my friend got were tasty as well! I got the poke bowl with tuna for my entree and was pleasantly surprised how big the portion was. It was so fresh too. The sides provided a crunchy taste to the rice and tuna. I gave it a 4/5 due to the service. Our waiter was nice but she wasn't around very much and we couldn't get anyone to help us for long periods of time. Overall, I would come back!

The food was amazing and Carmelo our waiter was great. We weren't sure what to order at this restaurant because we had never been, but the waiter was more than willing to share all of the most popular dishes that he thought we would like.

Came here to order an iced americano and feel extremely scammed. 6$ for a coffee? Fine. 20% surcharge? That's fine as well. But 2$ for ice is insane. Don't come here unless you like being ripped off. I really should've just not paid and walked out. The cost of ice being 30% the cost of my coffee is diabolical...

The food was mid, the service was basically nonexistent, and our food sat on the counter for a long time before anyone brought it over. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Gratuity is already included, so the servers move at their own pace with no urgency at all. Honestly, save your money and time there are way better places out there.

In truth's it's hard to wrap my head around how awful the totality of the experience is here. From the rude put out by your presence server to the mocha that was tasteless and nothing other than hot water and Hersey syrup to the literally inedible eggs Benedict....this was arguably one of my worst dinning experiences ever... tantamount to that which you will find on the last night of a 7 day cruise when they are at the bottom of the barrel on all accounts

Nothing amazing. Overpriced, Slow Service, Mediocre/Not super Fresh Food. This restaurant is right on Ocean Drive so naturally everything becomes more expensive. It is located very close to the beach so made for tourists. They have advertised All Day Brunch but it ends at 11am, only select breakfast items are available after that. They also add an automatic 20% tip to your meals, and service wasn't that great. The Calamari tasted dry and previously frozen, definitely not fresh, and mixed with red peppers the same shape as the calamari ... both deep fried. The batter was tasty but not worth the price. The Breakfast Burrito and potatoes were average. Potatoes reminded me of frozen potatoes you toss in the toaster oven. We don't recommend this place for the food. It's edible but overpriced and very mediocre.

We came here for brunch and the food was so good! We tried the tres leches French toast and the breakfast burrito. The tres leches French toast was so creamy and moist and it was one of the best French toasts I've had. The breakfast burrito was pretty standard, but was still good.

Fast good food for brunch fresh and average for brunch Will try backyard cafe next time across street buy fresh food!

They were short handed (we didn't know that till waiter came ten minutes later) and it took little longer than we expected but it was good! Our server was knowledgeable and happy even though he was running around like crazy. We sat outside under the comfort of shade and fans. The food was a basic breakfast but the mock tail delicious!

I walked into this restaurant simply to use the restroom while trying to find a descent drink spot and ended up hitting the gold mine! South Beach was quite underwhelming when it comes to cocktails. They call South Beach the "tourist trap" and I can kind of see why. I mean, I am definitely the tourist and enjoy touristy things. However, most places in South Beach load up their drinks with cheap liquor and try to mask it with sugary drink fillers such as syrups. But when I smelled the delicious food aromas and noticed the undeniably beautiful drink of their guests at the bar, I had to try! Nieves was my mixologist and she was so wonderful! She was eager to get my drink to my taste level - not too sweet and extra freshly muddled blueberries. Heck yea! I had 3 of these babies and ate 2 orders of their chicken tacos. Holy macaroni the food is SO good! Whether you are just visiting or a local ... from one foodie/drink snob to another ... I give this place a 10/10 for drinks, food, and service. Enjoy Yelp pals!

Wonderful service from Marianela who made sure we had the best time at Cafe Americano !! The food was incredible and came quite quick. Beware the price of the medium size drinks not pictured on the menu though (10$ difference with the regular size). Other than that, amazing experience with a beautiful decorated terrace and great music !

They have nice fluffy pancakes and great coffee. The restaurant is right by the beach so you can enjoy your meal and people watch. There's a constant breeze that's perfect for outdoor dining. I recommend the all American breakfast and the lox bagel, it comes with plenty of salmon. Skip the breakfast burrito, it was too soggy to pick up and eat.

Location is amazing, right on the ocean drive, great morning ambience, decor includes flower veins etc. Food is great, many vegan, Veg options and they can customize some of you like other ingredients. Service is great. Portions are good for price and filling, overall an amazing experience.

Paula was excellent, great recommendations! I loved the poke bowl with salmon. I love the inside and outside very comfortable.

Emanuel was excellent from the start when we had questions about the menu and making modifications to our meal. Very considerate as we had a baby and offered to bring us a high chair before asking for one, Overall the service was excellent, the food was delicious and everything came out perfect and as expected with every request we had through our breakfast. Thank you Emanuel for the great service!

Amazing service, Maria did a wonderful job and the food was amazing! Thank you again Maria!

Food was great! The server Pablo was polite and friendly. I definitely recommend Cafe Americano for your Miami brunch.

Excellent service! It was raining and we really wanted to sit outside and watch the storm (we're from California so we never get warm rain) and they were kind enough to let us. The food was solid - tasty, filling but buttery and heavy - you might leave very stuffed Ambiance was casual ocean vibes and is located attached to a very nice hotel that you need to go through to get to the bathroom (it has a PIN code- ask ahead of time)

This a very cute establishment. Party of 4 on a Sunday morning got seated right way inside. We ordered: Huevos Rancheros : it was on the smaller size portion compare to the other items that we ordered. Loved the crunchy tortilla and the flavors of this dish. Breakfast Burrito: hubs got this and said 8/10 it was lacking a bit of salt and flavors. But it has good amount of chorizo, avocado and wasn't filled with potato. He likes that potatoes we're on the side. Southwestern Avocado Toast :The toast was very flavorful but the side salad was on the biter side. Not sure if they used watercress or what it was that made this simple green salad bitter Denver Omelet: This was very flavorful, all the ingredients tied together nicely. They also had really good coffee.

We had an amazing breakfast here!! The food was filling and very flavorful and service was great. We sat outside on the patio and it was very well shaded and quiet despite being on a busy street. The breakfast burrito was great and the jalapeño crema was soooo good. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

I really liked the food and the service provided by the waiter Emanuel, very kind and helpful

Original menu served in a lovely outdoor dining room cooled by fans. The burrata and watermelon dish, served with little cherry tomatoes and slightly pickled cucumber slices was outstanding. My H really enjoyed his smashburger and I enjoyed his fries...lol. Sergio, The bartender, clearly enjoys his job and he made a mean old-fashioned.

This is my second time visiting & I gotta say the experience was not much to brag about . Sometimes people treat you less just because you are by yourself & you aren't ordering a lot of food . And as a Solo traveler it's not fun ! Last year I was here I was totally treated differently, because we were a 7/8 people together. They were like on top of everything! And that's why I decided that if I were to visit that area again I will come back to have lunch here . What a disappointment! The food was ok, my virgin drink was ok too. Nothing to go crazy about .

Inside the restaurant the ambiance is a little dark but relatively clean. So far the service seems excellent the service is patient kind and nice. The food was delicious I would definitely visit again.

Food and drinks were great! A little pricey but to be expected on the main drag here. The quality made up for that. The service was very attentive. The atmosphere was nice too.

Ambiance: Loved the ocean front terrace seating with the bougainvillea and string lights throughout. The terrace is spacious and offers a variety of seating - from tables for two, four, or more; to comfy loveseats! The music was relaxing and inviting ( which was gladly welcomed given that ocean drive can be loud!). Service: hostess and server were friendly and attentive. Food arrived quickly. Food: ordered The Americano chop salad with chicken. It was perfection! Perfect size portion, fresh ingredients! Couldn't ask for anything more! Sadly, I was too full to order dessert but I will be back! I recommend this place for some healthy American fare with a bit of a Latin twist!!

My boyfriend and I got the tuna poke bowl and the honey glazed salmon bowl. Both were amazing and filling! The mojito was tasty and our waiter Pablo was super nice and excellently accommodating. Lovely experience!

Our waiter Emanuel was super helpful and extremely kind. Enjoyed the food and service!

We had to hit the patio scene on Ocean Drive again...and this place seemed very popular, so we thought it'd be a safe choice. First of all, I loved the vibe here...with great overhead music. They also had several fans that cooled the patio area. Also, I liked the diverse menu. Though "Americano" in name, the foods were very global...from Mexican and Cuban, to Italian and more. My husband went with their Baja Tacos and I got their Baked Rigatoni...and well, the foods were DEE-Lish! Both really, really good!! Given everything mentioned above, I would have normally given a 5 star rating...but I can't/won't. To put it bluntly, our waiter (Arturo) was terrible. He was really slow to come to our table (a good 10 minutes??)...with no apologies whatsoever for the delay. BTW, he had zero table-side manners, so to speak. No smiles, no nothing! He then messed up my drink order (I asked for Iced Latte, yet got the Hot Latte...though corrected). He also never stopped back to check on us. We never even got water lol! I had to flag down a busboy to get water. Then, this Arturo (or the restaurant) had the gall to self-tip 20%. Are you kidding me?!? His botchy service merited no more than 5-10% tops! Despite the bad, over-tipped service, I liked the restaurant...so may give it another try in the future. Hopefully we'll get another waiter?

Delicious food! Emanuel was WONDERFUL!!!! Five stars! Got the Burria Benedict and home fries. Sit outside... gorgeous views of SB board walk. Music was great as well!
