Rotisserie chicken, French toast, and soft-shell crab sandwich
"Tina's menu—unique and delicious—is not beholden to breakfast norms. Peanut butter and jelly sliders, chicken parm sandwiches, duck eggs, rotisserie chicken, and french toast are all roommates here. It’s breakfast, brunch, and lunch wrapped up neatly on one menu, which makes it perfect for someone who has no idea when they’ll be able to wake up. All that, plus an adorable dining room that feels like the breakfast nook of a friend with impeccable taste in interior design. Tina is the destination breakfast Miami deserves." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"I enjoy the Miami-crossroads energy at this Venezuelan-inflected Coral Gables breakfast spot: a seeded arepa called the Coral Queen stuffed with rotisserie chicken and avocado salad, a towering soft-shell-crab sandwich on pillowy shokupan with pico de gallo and tartar sauce, smashed Peruvian potatoes turned into crisp tater tots, and French toast perfumed with orange zest and served in a generous pool of maple syrup." - ByBon Appétit Staff & Contributors

"This snug spot in the Gables isn’t beholden to brunch norms. Peanut butter and jelly sliders, chicken parm sandwiches, duck eggs, rotisserie chicken, and french toast are all roommates here. But our favorite thing to order is the soft shell crab sandwich with tartar sauce and mango pico de gallo. You won’t find bottomless mimosas or a DJ in the corner. Instead, it’s espressos and lemonade in a restaurant that looks like a breakfast nook. Tina makes just as much sense on a Wednesday as it does on Saturday, but if you insist on coming on a weekend, you’ll have better luck before 10am, or once things have died down around 3pm." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
