"Tinta y Cafe is pretty much the most perfect casual breakfast/lunch place that a hungry person in Coral Gables could ask for. This relaxing spot feels more like a very cool library than your average claustrophobic ventanita. The Cuban coffee is great and so is the food, which includes light breakfast plates, salads, and really tasty sandwiches—which is what you want to get here. The self-titled Tinta y Cafe is a safe choice and comes with pork, prosciutto, manchego, roasted peppers, and caramelized onions. Just know that they have a pretty strict no-laptop policy, so don’t come here to work." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"There are few places in the city that do sandwiches as deliciously as Tinta Y Cafe, a small spot in Coral Gables (there's a Miami Shores location too). You should make it your goal to try every sandwich on the menu here, but especially the Patria, their version of a cuban sandwich. They bend the rules here by adding mortadella and using a baguette rather than cuban bread. But, again, rules are meant to be broken when they taste like this." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"This no-fuss cafe and coffee spot is where to go for authentic Cuban coffee. A ready selection of Cuban sandwiches and croquetas turns a need for caffeine into a perfect quick lunch." - Alona Martinez
"Patria There are few places in the city that do sandwiches as deliciously as Tinta Y Cafe, a small shop with locations in Coral Gables and Miami Shores. You should make it your goal to try every sandwich on the menu here, especially the Patria, their version of a Cuban sandwich. They bend the rules here just a little by adding mortadella and using a baguette rather than Cuban bread. But rules are meant to be broken, especially when they taste this good." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Price Per Croqueta: $2.75 There’s no jamon croqueta like this in Miami. It’s a monster (in the best way possible) and almost double the size of Tinta Y Cafe’s other croquetas. It's shockingly rich and it tastes like bacon. You can see the pork fat in the filling, it’s dotted with pepper, and has a slightly smoky flavor. They bring it to you piping hot from the fryer, and finishing it is a commitment. We like spritzing ours with lime to cut the fat." - virginia otazo
