Facade has great potential, yet fails to get there. We went today and ordered an iced latte, corn milk with a shot of espresso, a cinnamon bun, the spicy onion toast, and the facade morning sandwich. The total with tip was $72.
To start with the good, the spicy onion toast is phenomenal. Removing it from the menu would be detrimental. The cinnamon bun was probably one of the best in Miami.
The latte was good, nothing special. The corn milk with an espresso shot was fine, but wasn't as unique as one would presume. The coffee menu has cafe con leche, a standard in Miami, yet does not specify that their version of it comes with honey and cinnamon (not a fan of either, so if I had ordered it assuming it was standard, I wouldn't have liked it).
I strongly believe that good breakfast places have a breakfast sandwich that is 1) unique to them and 2) very good. Facade has neither. The facade morning sandwich was not made with chorizo but instead bacon. It did not come with the FC sauce as listed on the menu (we thought they forgot it, so we asked for a side of it and they said they were no longer making it that way and the menu was changing, yet the actual menu had not changed). The sandwich was standard bacon, a standard egg, standard cheddar, on a standard brioche bun. You can absolutely make something better at home.
Overall, it was fine, but not worth it at this price point. Hoping they improve their quality of offerings and their attention to detail on their menu. We'd love to go back eventually!
