Novela Cafe Social

Pleasantly surprised! I usually stick to my go-to spots, but I decided to give this place a shot and now it’s one of my new faves. The flavors were spot on, with a nice Mediterranean touch and that unmistakable Miami flair. Service was top-notch, everyone was super friendly and really attentive. The place was clean too, which is always a plus. Definitely feels like a hidden gem. Highly recommend checking it out!

I really enjoy breakfast here! I’ve eaten here a few times and you can get food at any time, you can see my photos for the food that I chose. Also, they have a yoga studio in the back, it looks maybe like a heated yoga and there is plenty of people going in and out of there so I bet the classes are nice!

I really liked it. The place is really nice and quiet, at least on a Sunday morning since it is located in the center on Wynwood. The food was good but the coffee was better, really creamy. I would prefer to have table service, but it’s not that big of a deal. I will come back!

Nice shashuka. Environment is nice there is outdoor and indoor but the day i visited it was hot so i sat inside. Nice cafe in midtown miami.

Novela has been a staple in my routine for the past 3 years—the coffee, food, and atmosphere are my perfect mid-day hangout/wfh set-up (there is plenty of indoor+outdoor seating and outlets in the table!) I always look forward to being greeted with a friendly face—the staff are all soo incredibly friendly and on top of everything 🤍 Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Incredible brunch! Service was super quick and friendly too. Turkey club was refreshing, sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich is the perfect hangover meal. Outdoor area is really pretty!

First time here and it was amazing. I loved the place, we sat outside and it was nice and shaded and trees were beautiful. My husband and I shared a turkey sandwich and a cappuccino. It was soo delicious. We ended up getting another cappuccino. We will definitely be back.

Great food, delicious coffee, very cozy atmosphere, wonderful staff!

After an evening out, my husband and I desperately needed strong coffee and a big breakfast. Parking in Miami is a nightmare, but walking a few blocks was worth it to get to Novela Cafe Social. The cafe is filled with remote workers quietly working and sipping their coffee while others head to the back to a yoga and Pilates studio. The workers were really nice and helpful as we decided what coffee and food to order. I was desperate for coffee so forgive the no picture, but I had an iced latte with extra shot and hazelnut that helped me wake up, and the French toast covered in berries that soaked up the alcohol from the night before. I love challah toast, thick, cinnamon, and the berries came together for a great bite. It really hit the spot! My husband also had an iced latte, I think with honey. The American Breakfast was huge and way more than he expected as he'd ordered sausage on the side not realizing it came with bacon, and there was even hash browns under the scrambled eggs Overall, we had a great experience and if we were local we'd definitely come back, as I see why so many choose to come and work out of this space.

great service, they wear ties, ol timey vibe beautiful garden, looks way better than photos strong wifi, did a video call while many other ppl were in there working there is like hot yoga & pilates in the back, you can see ppl with their yoga mats & barely clothed well it's Miami, everyone is barely clothed in sports bras walking around they have food & drinks, plenty of seating high & low tables

The moment I walked into Novela Café Social in Miami, I knew I wasn't just entering a coffee shop--I was stepping into a full-blown telenovela. The air was thick with drama--in the best way possible. The music, the decor, the aromas... it was like every sense was dialed up to eleven. I ordered a cortado and the moment the barista handed it to me--no joke--I felt like I had just received a love letter. The foam was like silk, the espresso rich and deep, like a secret no one dared speak out loud. I sat near the window, watching the world pass, and somehow even the sunlight pouring in felt romantic. Then came the food. I wasn't ready. The shakshuka? A passionate explosion of flavor. The avocado toast? A plot twist with every bite. Even the salad had more drama than a season finale. I half expected someone to burst in and declare their love in front of everyone. The energy in the space is electric. Strangers make eye contact like old lovers, friends talk with animated hands and laughter that fills the air like a soundtrack. I caught myself daydreaming mid-bite, imagining I was the lead in some sweeping love story--complete with espresso and scandal. Novela Café Social isn't just a place to get coffee. It's an experience. A beautiful, bold, over-the-top, ridiculously delicious experience. If you ever wanted your morning to feel like chapter one of something unforgettable, this is the place.

Was in the area and decided to stop for a quick breakfast. Opted for a latte and the açaí bowl, which were both delish. The açaí bowl offers a generous serving size. There are plenty of great options on the menu - check em out!

I tried this place with a couple of friends while we were waiting to head to our cruise. The ambiance is absolutely amazing. As soon as you walk in you feel the vibe and it's very cozy and inviting. A plus is that there are soooo many outlets near the seating area. There's also an outside sitting area that's covered. We opted to sit inside because it was a little warm out. I ordered the cheesy eggs on a brunch with a side of sausage patties. The eggs were delicious and fluffy. The cheese was divine and the pull effect was real with the cheese. The bottom bun had some sort of jam on it that I didn't realize until I bit into it. It added such a sweetness to the sandwich that blended perfectly. The patties looked to be homemade and were a nice size. Not sure if it was chicken, pork, or turkey. They had a great flavor to them in that they were pretty hearty and nicely seasoned. This meal was nice and filling! I would definitely visit again :)

The vibes were perfect for breakfast, outdoor seating with plenty of shade and definitely did not expect the secret garden aesthetic. Avocado toast was larger and more filling than expected, which was a nice surprise considering the cost had me caught off guard a little at first. For caffeine I opted for a simple cold brew with Vanilla with a splash of milk, which was good. Can't give a perfect score because my toast was lost in the shuffle and it took 35 minutes to get to me, only after I got up and asked, but the staff was very nice and seemed genuinely concerned, so can't dock them too much. Would highly recommend to anyone that's willing to pay a little more for quality breakfast at a vibey venue.

Food tasted very good and rich in flavor. A little pricey but a decently short wait. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. You must order and pay at the counter and sit to eat. Tips are optional. Many people come in to eat or grab a beverage after doing hot yoga and Pilates on the back side of the cafe. Hipster location with chill vibes and lofi music.

UPDATE: I no longer recommend this place. Ordered again from them and was very disappointed. The French toast was soggy and covered in marmalade. Why wouldn't they put toppings on the side? The bags now come wide open, no security seal, no tape, no staples. See pics. Breakfast potatoes used to be great the batch I got today tasted like it was made a few days ago and the pancakes came with no butter on the side or anything, just dry, cold and tasteless. I'm all about CONSISTENCY which this place obviously lacks. Was a 5 star now it's a 2 star, and that's being generous.

Stumbled onto this place on a Sunday morning while looking for a brunch place to try. The style is to order at the counter and pick up your coffee there; food will be delivered to your table if you order any. The menu has a good blend of breakfast options. There are also lunch options if that's what you're looking for. The coffee was a little disappointing. I had a cappuccino. Presentation was great but there was nothing special about the flavor and was actually pretty bland. Food was pretty good. The American had a nice balance of potatoes, bacon, eggs, and pancakes. I thought the portion size was good to not over eat. The potatoes had the best flavor. The eggs were over easy and well cooked but lacked some seasoning. The açaí bowl was fresh and delicious. I personally am not a fan of coconut shavings but it added another flavor to the dish. The best part is easily the seating area. You can bring stuff to work outside or just enjoy the space and the weather.

If you want a quiet moment before all the hustle in Wynwood, Novela Cafe is the place! The ambiance was relaxed and patio was filled with birds chirping next to our tables. We ordered coffees and had the Spanish and the American breakfast. Both were made to perfection and tasted so yummy. Servers were attentive and came by often to clean up or pick up dishes. Definitely returning. Great way to enjoy a quiet beautiful Sunday morning in Miami

This is our second time coming here, and we loved it! The scenery is beautiful, as both the inside and outside seating has a nice atmosphere. The food was amazing! We really recommend their Shakshuka, as it has an amazing flavor and the eggs were cooked to perfection. I also really recommend their ube iced latte it was amazing! Overall an amazing way to celebrate my 18th birthday with my family :) And you should totally try this place!

So friendly staff - vibe is chill makes you just want to hang out for hours chatting. The food is truly amazing everything we have ordered has been great. The coffee is really good here but I Do not like the hefty service charge.

Really love this spot to hang out and get some work done. The coffee is quite good and they have a range of food and pastry offerings. I had a really nice breakfast sandwich on a tasty brioche and the price was super reasonable for the quality and the portion. What really makes this place great though is the setting. They have plenty of space inside as well as a really beautiful outdoor area. Lots of tables and some couches set amongst the loveliest oak trees with moss and orchids. I'm always productive here because it always makes me feel calm. I generally avoid Wynwood but will come for novela!

All I can say is wow, this place is fantastic. First of all the ambience and decor is beautiful. I absolutely love the courtyard, it's perfect to sit outside and enjoy a lovely breakfast. It's really peaceful with all of the plants and flowers, and there's plenty of tables and space for everybody. The food is amazing too, I opted to get the Spanish breakfast, the rice and beans were super tasty, the halloumi cheese was grilled to perfection, the sweet plantains were so decadent and the eggs were lovely too. We also absolutely loved the house made hot sauce. Finally, we got the pour over coffee, which was Delicate and a light roast, it was a really nice cup and we absolutely loved the coffee server that it came in from Japan. This place is definitely one of my favorite spots I've been to in all of Miami, highly highly recommend!

This place seems like a low-key lifestyle restaurant. They have hot yoga, healthy food options without sacrificing flavor, great spacing in terms of providing different seating varieties whether it be indoor or outdoor, round table, table tops, etc... whoever designed the floor layout is a smart cookie by creating different spaces for patrons to enjoy socializing while having personal space. This place is more on the fun casual side so order up front and a server brings your order to the table. Overall, staff were friendly.

Service was decent. Ambiance is bustling; it's great to co-work because of the several seats with outlets but i think it would be difficult to take work calls here because of how loud the music can be. I had the novela breakfast which was delicious. I also had a hot rose latte with oat milk which was divine. Unfortunately, the iced rose matcha with oat milk i also had later on didn't hit the spot the same way the coffee did. I asked for rose and received a plain matcha. It was fine just not what i was craving. My friend had an iced hazelnut latte that she really enjoyed. She also got the beet juice blend which i thought was good but for her it was too beet forward, so keep that in mind if you aren't a huge beet fan. Overall i'd like to return next time i'm in the area looking for a space to work.

I was in the area, unsure of where to eat, so I opened up Yelp and stumbled upon this hidden gem. I've been to Wynwood countless times and never thought to check it out--but I'm so glad I did! The place was busy, but the service was fantastic and super fast. It had a really chill atmosphere, with people sipping coffee, grabbing a quick bite, working on their laptops, or just relaxing with headphones on. I decided to try the Fattoush Salad for the first time, and I was blown away by the bold flavors and fresh ingredients. I also took the staff's recommendation and got the chocolate chip cookie--and wow, that was one of the best cookies I've ever had! My taste buds were definitely happy. This spot is now on my list for future visits!

Great addition to Wynwood. Excellent indoor/outdoor ambiance with lots of seating. Calm and airy, despite being right in Miami Avenue. The shakshuka was one of the best that I've recently had. Absolutely delicious. Very good cold brew, as well. Also a free cold still and sparkling water station.

very cute and casual place next to a yoga studio in the busy Street of Wynwood . it is a self service type of counter where you go order and then they bring it to you. You can sit in the courtyard or inside. The food selection is pretty good there's something for everyone. I love having some coffee and açai bowl here. Highly recommend this place to everyone.

The eggs are pretty good, but I don't think i've ever tasted more worse matcha than this. The color is off, straight up milk and barely any matcha, matcha not even mixed properly

My first time at this charming, quaint cafe located in the artsy & lively Wynwood district, with great service and can function as coworking space if you're looking to escape for your workday. The outside patio has gorgeous hanging plants and Spanish moss trees, with some tables available in the shade. I ordered the Spanish breakfast with a side of bacon and the rose latte with oatmilk, everything was so good. My friend enjoyed her hallah french toast & iced tea. I'm sure I'll be lunching again soon!

The service is always super friendly and I love the self serve water spout because it has sparkling water. The inside tends to be super cold but I love the comfy couches !! Outside is perfectly shaded. I usually come here when I need to hide and get some work done or read. I usually get the grilled chicken ciabatta and it never disappoints

Highly recommend checking out this place--the ambience is amazing, and their patio is a perfect spot to relax. Plus, they serve really good food that you'll love!

I can comment on the food. What I can say is that the girl behind the coffee counter needs to be trained in customer service. First, you greet patrons. Second you don't let them wait in line, only to tell them when it's their turn that you are not serving anyone anymore. There was a line! Announce that you are closing as soon as people get in. It was 5pm by the way. On a Saturday afternoon.

Such a cool vibe. Great staff and customer service. They really have created a super chill, welcoming vibe. Lattes are PERFECT. I find it difficult to have a bold bean not taste burnt but the barista made my flat white to perfection. Strong coffee without the acidic flavor that can follow. We tried the ube cinnamon latte as well and omg. If you like sweets, DO IT. It's amazing. Tastes like the milk from cinnamon toast cereal. THEN we tried the food. The shashuka and the novela breakfast. Just perfection. Everything. Definitely the best cafe we've been to in Miami

Can't speak much about the coffee or food here as I only tried their fresh pressed juices, but I did genuinely enjoy them. It was a super hot day in Miami and the juices were very refreshing. The place is cute with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were very friendly. The food taken to the tables looked very good!

OMG this place is soo good I have been in many cafe's over the few years and this is different with their food and Ambiance would RECOMMEND 100/10

Was looking for a quick but delicious breakfast and that's what we found. This place has indoor and outdoor seating and is very casual. You order your breakfast at the counter and seat yourself and they bring the food out to you. We went with the kids and they had high chairs and enough space for stroller. Overall, nice wait staff, quick service and tasty breakfast options.

This spot was one of our favorites in Miami. What better than to enjoy some coffee in Wynwood Miami Fl. Serving breakfast/lunch and specialty coffee and just all around good vibes. Located in The Oasis, they have so much seating indoor or outside and it's even linked to a hot yoga/pilates studio so you can grab some coffee after getting a workout in. The food was DELICIOUS and we will definitely be back very soon to enjoy again ! Thank you for having us

I love the place!! I went for lunch and had the salad with the seared Tuna. I shared this picture because I didn't see a picture of it anywhere here. It was absolutely delicious! The banana bread is loaded with chocolate. A gem!

I stumbled across this spot when I was visiting from out of town and I'll definitely be back whenever I'm back in Miami. It's such a cute spot and very aesthetic to take pics. Friendly and welcoming staff to ensure all your needs are taken care of. The food and coffee was really good as well. Highly recommend the pour over as it was very well made. 10/10. The breakfast sandwich I ordered was also very well made. Definitely a nice place to come and work or just have a chat with a friend to catch up. Either way, a place worth coming to if you're just trying to enjoy some good coffee in a nice environment.

5 star ambience, 4 star food, 4 star service. Beautiful setting inside and out in Wynwood, but overpriced for what it is with a small helping of attitude on the side. 5 star ambience: the best part by far is the amazing space. Floor to ceiling windows look out on Wynwood and to a quieter side courtyard. Oddly for this neighborhood there are shade trees and shaded outdoor seating too. 4 star food beverage: other than the non-disposable plates and coffee cups, this was more or less Starbucks with a significant price hike. 4 star service: the service, unlike usually friendly Starbucks and other coffee bars, was attitudinal and slow.

Great vibes indoor and outdoor, healthy food options, great cortado. All interactions with staff were lovely as well. Would definitely recommend.

- I LOVE their novela breakfast - I usually get a side of grilled chicken or bacon - The matcha latte is also good - They have white + brown sugar at the counter if you need to sweeten it - Lots of seating and couches - I like their seating outdoors - Servers are super friendly and helpful - Come here after a workout, come for brunch, come just to chill, or bring your laptop to work

Stop by for a late breakfast on our way to the paradox museum. The seating and atmosphere in their made for an awesome ambience! A simple menu with plenty of options and awesome customer service the servers made it a very good experience. The food was delicious!

Really like the vibe of this place, food menu and drinks. I ordered yogurt granola and it was very good with homemade granola and fresh Greek yogurt. Service however can be improved.

If you are looking for a nice coffee shop to work and also get quality food in the wynwood area then this is a spot for your list. They have tons of seating inside and outside. The food is really good and the coffee is tasteful. This visit I had the Mexican breakfast and a latte and both were really good. I will for sure be back.

Loved this place in Wynwood! Beautiful patio and food was great! Had the açaí bowl which was perfect and my son had the pancakes and loved them. Cold Brew was super strong!!

pretty long line for brunch on a sunday food was overall pretty okay 7/10, the ambiance was quite nice especially the outside.

What a beautiful cafe!! I didn't know how beautiful it was since this was the closest cafe from our hotel! The service was nice! I had avocado toast with sunny side up eggs! I love the chilly hot sauce they sprinkled on top of the egg!! Will be my cafe spot for the next couple days!!

My new favorite cafe!! I got the Novela Breakfast and I was shocked at how flavorful it was. I usually have low expectations for breakfast foods to be bland but this dish was both flavorful AND refreshing, the perfect way to start my day studying. I got the green machine juice which was good but too small for $8. I also love the ambiance with its high ceilings and blue and orange theme. There were plenty of outlets and also an outdoor seating area too. If you get cold easily, I recommend bringing a jacket. The service was good and food came promptly. I'm excited to come back again and recommend others to give it a shot too!

Great place to get some work done, so many spots to sit & plug in your charger. That was a plus for me. It's a very chill ambiance. Dog friendly as well. As for the food, I wasn't a big fan of the avocado toast but I would definitely be interested I trying other stuff on the menu. The matcha latte was good though.

Such a lovely place! Loved their food, service and ambiance. We had a grilled cheese and an avocado toast - both were fairly large portions, and one could have been shared for two. The cafe has an indoor and outdoor areas - both super cute. The tables outside were under beautiful trees, All in all - it's a great place, would definitely try it again.

In Wynwood for the amazing Women Run Wynwood monthly run. Great event which leaves you in Wynwood late morning on a Sunday. Great time to find breakfast without the crowds. The event is hosted at Veza Sur which is a 5 minute walk from Novela. They have indoor and outdoor seating. After a run in 85 degrees we definitely opted for inside. We grabbed the couch in the corner and settled in. You order at the counter but they bring it to your seat. The drinks you have to pick up. We had a couple of Americanos, scrambled cheddar brioche and the American. The coffee was so good we bought more to go. The sandwich had some sweetness to it that was delicious but I think with a little more salt the eggs and cheese would've stood out a bit more. Hubby ordered his eggs over easy and they came over hard. He didn't want to send them back and said it didn't ruin the meal. The pancakes were light and fluffy and the bacon crisp. Everything tasted so good the eggs didn't bother him. The meal with tip was $40 which was steep for what we got and for breakfast but then you could use the excuse that it's a touristy area. The service is incredible and everyone is so nice. I'd come back, maybe after the next WRW event.

Okay, back to Miami adventures because I'm still lowkey thinking about the salad from here and can't wait for my next visit. Things I loved about Novela, + they're connected with the next door yoga studio YO BK so that you can easily take class and then head to the cafe afterwards + Wifi was strong + Indoor and outdoor seating that is very comfortable + The outside pathway is filled with greenery and it's so beautiful and refreshing + The tuna, avocado salad. BOMB.COM! Def get this. Everything about it was so well balanced, refreshing and filling + Parking was super easy on the street. However...it is Wynwood so coming during peak hours may change this. + They have a water station that you can help yourself to + I saw someone had green juice which looked good but I didn't try it. + Servers were friendly and promptly brought food out to your table when it was ready. Thank you, Novela Cafe!

Located in the heart of Wynwood next to Oasis, this place offers a lovely atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating options. What sets it apart is the freshness of its ingredients, making its dishes burst with flavor. My top picks are the shawarma plate, packed with Middle Eastern flavors, and the uniquely delicious French toast, which might just be the best I've ever had. The service is also nice, and everyone that works there is very personalble and nice Overall, it's a must-visit spot in Wynwood for anyone who loves great food and a pleasant dining setting.

The place is nicely decorated and has some outdoor seating in a corridor. Not many good options nor fun coffee options when I visited except for the different syrups (not house made) to add to a latte. Mexican chicken soup (like a tortilla soup) was wel priced for the size. Mildly spicy. Spanish breakfast was a decent meal but not something I'd order again. Pomegranate lemonade was very good.

First stop after landing. Cute little spot. We ordered the American breakfast (can't remember actual name). Pancakes, eggs, home fries and bacon....and I got the homemade lemonade as well. As far as breakfast goes it's either edible or darn good. This was darn good in my opinion. I really loved that they actually seasoned the eggs because not all places do. The lemonade was perfect. Not too tart or too sweet but absolutely refreshing. 10/10 I'd recommend

Loved how there was a lot of seating in here! Only downside is there isn't a lot of AC because they have the doors/windows open. Iced Matcha Latte - it was a good matcha latte but I wish the matcha came through more. Almond Butter Jam Toast - loved the jam as it wasn't too sweet. I also liked the coconut and banana chips on top to add a little crunch. I wish it was a little thicker so it would be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
