Cool, well decorated coffee shop with delicious coffee and snacks. You can sit the inside and outside and often admire the classic cars that come here to meet.

The cafe is such a well decorated place, it didn’t feel too cluttered either. There are plenty of places to sit indoors and outdoors. The coffee (I ordered a Cubano) was incredibly smooth and tasty. No extra milk or sugar needed.

Such a cool vibe! Wanted to spend some time working and this cafe was the best decision.. loved their decor! Baristas were very warm.. great coffee! Right amount of busy to not be a loud cafe to work in but also vibrant with people.. Ordered : coffee mocha milkshake and loved it! Free street parking around the cafe is available

this place is soo incredibly overpriced. $7 for a 8oz latte. $1 for any kind of syrup add on. $6 for a tiny empanada. my tiny coffee and empanada cost me $13 today. it wouldn’t be so egregious if they also didn’t add a screen between the barista and customer so there’s no real face to face with the barista. why would i tip? AND they gave me a lukewarm coffee. if you’re gonna come gentrify little river at least serve hot coffee and charge prices that the people in your neighborhood can actually afford.

We tried many things on the menu here, and they were all excellent. Imperial smoothie was delicious and they use natural ingredients. Cappuccino was perfect. Lattes were tasty. Ham and cheese croissant was one of the better I had in Miami. I like the theme and atmosphere. Staff was very friendly. Nothing bad to say!

What a beautiful coffee shop! Everything here looks and feels amazing. Very unique compared to other cafes I have been to. The vibe is cool and relaxing. So much to look at. I love all the vintage bikes on display. The staff was very nice and friendly. The coffee was good and hot. This spot has definitely made it on my top ten list of coffee stops. I will be back soon!

Definitely a "cool" cafe. From the decor, to the events at this location, to the coffee and the eatery assortment. There is lots to look at and all the motorcycle/motocross is fascinating. We love a dog friendly outdoor coffee option. We don't love the street parking, but at least it's free, which in itself is special for Miami. Strawberry and cream danish is real nice!

Giancarlo N.

Yelp

Great coffee & service. Wifi was fast, too! Don't own a bike for service but came for a short business meeting and stayed to catch up on some work. Nice musical vibes too, thanks to Lucia! Try the nitro cold brew!

Alma M.

Yelp

Yes! Loved the coffee, outdoor seating, indoor seating. Great work space and located in a calm area so i was very pleased! Great service!

Phoebe C.

Yelp

Maybe we caught them on an off day but we tossed both the iced coffee and latte we got from here. The cold brew was sour and the latte was white from so much milk.

Imperial Moto was my family's go to coffee shop 3/6 days on our vacation. I went to Florida with the intention of trying a new coffee shop everyday, but IMC had my heart! One of the big reasons was the different syrups they carried, as well as milk options (Breve being my go to). I tried their Honey Blossom, Lavender, and White Chocolate (offered at the Aventura mall) syrups. Their Honey Blossom was the lost interesting flavor, but my favorite was their lavender. I did opt in for an extra shot (total of 3). I was happy to see that an extra shot did not cost me 2+ dollars like other coffee shops. Their apparel and gear are a plus. I regret not buying a bag of beans when I was there.

Julia S.

Yelp

Workability: outlets almost everywhere, good work, not too bright and very cozy Noise: no complaints. It's a big enough space where I didn't notice the other parties. They will occasionally have events, so that's something to keep in mind. What I got: dirty sweet potato and lavender latte: definitely got it for the fun ingredients and I love sweet potato drinks. My only thing was that it was pretty sweet, so I'd probably ask for less syrup next time. white chocolate macadamia: their cookies are so big!! Enough to share imo if you're willing to share cookies haha. TLDR: Loved doing some work in this coffee shop! Cool and comfortable vibes.

Naomi S.

Yelp

Really happy this cool code shop exists in Miami (the city definitely needs it). The cold brew slapped. Skip the food-- the pastries were cold. It's a great spot to meet a friend or get some work done.

Lilly G.

Yelp

I love Imperial Moto with my whole heart. The food, drinks and people are always so awesome. The first time I discovered this place was in the Aventura mall and couldn't get over the attention to detail, decor and how friendly everyone was. We ended up buying some beans and a mug and didn't realize it came with a free drink (after already putting in our drink order) so they gave us a free voucher to user later which was so nice. I love coming to their location in Little River, the vibes are very chill and a great place to bring your laptop and get some work done.

Yelp

I love a cool, rustic, unique coffee shop and this place did not disappoint. With its motorcycle vibes & inviting presence, it only made sense that I stopped in for my morning coffee that was tasty and their seasonal flavor at the time. Purple Sweet Potato & Lavender latte. Originally got it hot for the latte art. Loved it so much that I ended up getting a second one iced. The iced one made more sense for the 75 degree weather but both were very delicious. A must try for the drinks and motorcycle aesthetics

Kathy K.

Yelp

Very very cool spot. Would love to just set up shop here within my laptop to get some work done or bring a book and cozy up. The seating was all very comfy, coffee was excellent & the staff was super nice. Looking forward to my next stop in

Maor R.

Yelp

Cool cafe with good vibes, good coffee and excellent empanadas. I'd love to see a bit more sweet and savory food options as they rather limited and more seating, esp on the patio. Def recommend.

Nicolas G.

Yelp

So delicious and good service I strongly recommend to anyone to visit Miami ! I'll go to do my morning routine at this spot! It has a nice crowd and comfortable sofas to hang out

Laura B.

Yelp

Good cold brew! I'm not really into bikes, so i may not be the target market in mind when they decided to put large bikes on the tables.

Ambar C.

Yelp

This is the coffee house with the most character. Part motorcycle club, part chill out cafe, part cool guy hang out. The place is spacious with couches and tables and outside seating options. There is also a bar type seating area towards the back. They carry a lot of motorcycle inspired merch... def getting a tshirt next time. There are a couple of motorcycles inside as part of the decor and plenty parked outside ... it's like a club, I guess but cooler and caffeinated. When we visited there was live music... cool side with a guitar playing classic rock ...think Bob Dylan and Tom Petty and GnR! Coffee was great and service was excellent. There is also a variety of food items.. pastries, empanadas. Overall the vibe is super awesome.

Love this place. Friendly service yummy coffee presented with amazing art you can't ask for more especially in Miami where the coffee game is a very low standard. I can't wait for my next visit.

Melissa L.

Cute spot with amazing coffee choices. Staff were very polite and attentive both times I went which is rare nowadays.

Joey M.

Yelp

Great hidden gem vibe, wish there was easier ways to get these hidden places even more exposure because we need more of these dope spots that most importantly actually make great coffee, love the moto club vibe , next time gotta stick around to try more of the food options

Mari L.

Yelp

First time here, the staff is very nice and patient. It can get pretty busy and mostly just street parking. If yo are in the area it's worth a stop.

Nikcole A.

Great coffee. Delicious pastries. Staff are cool. And the vibes inside is aesthetically pleasing and calm.

Isabella K.

Yelp

Cute fun place! I actually came here for one of my husband's car events and was surprised to see how many good and healthy food options the café offers. I had an acai bowl and my son had their organic PB&J sandwich. If you're into motorcycles, this place is for you.

Lauren N.

Yelp

get ready for the coolest coffee shop vibe ever! I felt like I was in a bike shop (maybe because there are casually 3-4 motorcycles parked in the cafe. Great music and decor. I had a cappacino that was delicious! Can't wait to come back

Jaime M.

Yelp

I stopped in for an hour while I was between meetings in Miami. I was able to attend a virtual meeting from the shop as it wasn't too loud, and there was decent room to spread out. They have an outdoor area too but I opted for inside because it was quieter. The tea was actually SO good (just got a basic green tea with honey) and the people working were super friendly too. I'll definitely stop in again next time I'm in the area!!

Maria C.

Yelp

Great service and ambiance! Love the displays and vintage decor. Coffee was really good! Ps: they have a burger food truck outside that sells amazing burgers! Give them a try

I've been going to Imperial for several years now and every time I go it's a little bit better. The menu is great, awesome service and of course their decorations and amenities are great as well.

Mary S.

This is my go to coffee shop. The people are so friendly. They take the time to get to know you and make sure your coffee trip is a good one. They have amazing empanadas and croissants. And let's not forget about the actual cafe.. the motorcycles and decor all over the walls makes it an even better experience. Love love love this place!!!

Franz M.

Excellent empanadas! The best In Miami! Great ambiance, very unique and equipped to handle any business you need to take care of, outlets internet big tables ect.... Highly recommend!

Xena Z.

When a latte looks good, all the way throughout the sipping, it is certainly well made and so worth coming back for! Plus the ambiance - chill, semi-relaxed, semi-professional, progressing the day in a productive and fun way.

Love this gem!! Besides being an awesome coffee concept, their empanadas are sooooo delicious. Super cool vibe and feel. When I come in I never want to leave lol

This place is worth the route ! Amazing coffee and the staff is very friendly ! They have pastries as well!

Lucia P.

Yelp

I am constantly impressed with the consistency of this place. I feel that's hard to come by in Miami. I've come by a few times within the last month and each time the iced latte with oat milk, and iced chai with oat milk is made to perfection. Staff is very nice as well which is a plus. I'm a big fan!

Carrie C.

Yelp

Imperial Moto is where community breaths, artisan coffee pours, conversations stir, and friendships are made. Authentic moto mojo coffee culture hub in Little river neighborhood. The best daily dose independent café with customizable brews and small bites.

Hilda A.

Yelp

The environment rock and roll vibe! The coffee she recommended was vanilla latte with oat milk (Hot) amazing! Hubby got a smoothie (peanut butter, banana) which he recommends as well.

Senor M.

Yelp

The little river area is changing yet again and this coffee shop is a great addition. The coffee is great along with the friendly service and great living room feel. If you are into motorcycles it's an added bonus as you get to see some great bikes and gear. Randomly tried a turmeric latte and it was very interesting, along with its anti-inflammatory benefits it tasted great. Worth a stop in or make it part of a morning ritual.

Deniece W.

Yelp

A chill spot for coffee lovers and motorcycle enthusiasts. I work extremely close by, so this place is my savior when I am in desperate need of a caffeine pick-me-up. I swear by the CBD nitro cold brew. It's delicious and gives me the perfect burst of energy. There are enough tables, comfy couches, and free wi-fi to relax or work. Check out the motorcycles used as decor that are also for sale. There's also a barber shop in the back.

Marie V.

First time customer and I must say I love the customer service. As soon as I walked in I was acknowledged by the cashier Great scenery and cool motorcycle display inside I ordered a vanilla latte - pretty good Pizza empanada- wow! What a great idea, it was so delicious. MUST TRY They also have a cool rewards program I will definitely be returning since I'm very close by

Ilyana A.

Great coffee and was a chill vibe. The cheese and mushroom empanada was so good and I just got a simple latte. Perfect place to study at or work remotely.

Vee D.

I heard good things about this cute spot, and I was so excited to visit. When I stopped by on Tuesday, October 3rd at 1:33pm and ordered a black coffee with a shot of cream, I was given a drink with waay to much cream. It looked like milk, so I kindly asked if I could have them make the drink again, with just a light shot of cream and I was treated with disrespect and mocked by an employee when they re-served my coffee. She was wearing a bandana and with an attitude looked at me and said "just a dash?, achoo" while she poured cream and again Said "achoo, like this?" as she poured in a bit more of cream mocking how she did not enjoy having to make me another cup. I was uncomfortable with the entire interaction and will certainly not be coming back. That was super unprofessional and I wasn't even rude when asking for a cup of coffee with a shot of cream the correct way I had asked for it. If that is how Imperial Moto Cafe operates when serving a customer on a slow hour of the day, I can imagine when it's busy. That girl with the bandana on was very rude and definitely created an unwelcoming atmosphere. I get better service at Starbucks.

Phil S.

Excellent decor, very chill vibe, beautiful staff ! Family friendly environment, very tasty teas and coffee Need I say more.....this is great place to escape the busy scene of Miami

Valeria B.

Yelp

My hubby is a motorhead with a particular love for motorcycles. We are a coffee loving couple. Therefore, Imperial Moto Cafe was a match made in heaven. It's a bit in the middle of nowhere, but if you ask me this is what makes it more of gem! The minute you walk in you are hit with the peculiar and awesome esthetic of the place. Lots of cool merchandise and actual motorcycles to observe. Their coffee options are also tasty, yet a little on the pricier side. They have a coconut and guava cookie that is giant and one of the best we've ever had.

Food G.

Yelp

I have been to this place multiple times. The coffee is very good and it's a good place to work on a computer as there isn't a ton of surrounding noise. I gave it 1 star because of lack of consciousness and respect that I received today. I showed up with my wife and two kids at 8:05am (when they opened) to get a couple of coffees and treats to go. The women with green hair barely acknowledged us as we stood at the counter while she counted her money drawer. I made a joke about turning back the clocks to kill the mood and she rolled her eyes. She then continued to make us wait while she went and got the empanadas and did the work she probably should have done before opening the doors. We waited in total about 8 minutes (only ones I the place) with no acknowledgement. We decided to go to Panther Coffee who has exceptional coffee and service. I feel bad for the owner, as I am sure he would have appreciated our business. We try and support local single rooftop ventures and we will continue to do so. If I would rate all my visits there, I'd give them 4 STARS for their coffee and politeness. I gave them 1 as a call to action for their owner.

Kristina T.

Yelp

Imperial Moto recently made a switch from Panther Coffee to Counter Culture Coffee! What an improvement! My cappuccino with oat milk tasted fantastic, Kevin M. the Barista steamed the perfectly! The Mona Lisa of latte art. I also ordered a V60 that one could describe as liquid gold. Kevin also made it and told us it was the "Field Trip" blend. FANTASTIC!

William V.

Yelp

I always have an amazing experience every time I go. Especially when Kevin, Sam & Joana are serving my coffee. Great customer service as always!
