Walter's Coffee Shop by Sergio

So happy to see Walter’s back open! 🙌 Walter’s has always been a staple in our community and I’m thrilled to say they’re open again and better than ever! From the delicious breakfast and brunch to the cozy, welcoming vibe, it’s the same place we’ve always loved. If you haven’t stopped by since they reopened, you’re seriously missing out. The food is amazing, the staff is friendly, and it feels so good to support a local favorite that’s been part of our mornings and memories for years. Let’s show them some love and fill those tables again! 💛

Came in for breakfast to enjoy the amazing biscuits and gravy & decided to order a few more items. They never miss. The country fried steak was tender and delicious as well as the waffles. We were greeted with a smile & sat immediately. Sabrina our server was attentive, professional yet friendly. We’ll be back!

It was a great experience. I had breakfast with my friends and Shay was a great server. She worked hard and really pushed herself. She made sure everything was good and was on top of our food and service. I appreciate people like her. Great job. Everything was a great experience and I would always come back for more. I highly recommend to anyone, especially if you haven’t tried the place. :)

Everything was fantastic. Welcoming from the first moment as well as attentive. The food was delicious! My kids devoured their chicken tenders and waffles and I had the “Don’t be a chicken” sandwich. But overall the best thing was the server! Shay was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure we taken care of and everything she suggested was top notch! Thank you thank you thank you! We need more people like Shay!

We love Walter’s! Andrea has been our server & goes above and beyond for us. Making us feel welcomed 😊 My husband & I have been coming here for years. It’s feels like you’re at home with the service, food and atomsophere of the workers here! I recommend the breakfast wrap with the home fries ( get them fried) so much better! Also, the steak & eggs is our other favorite go to. So happy they reopened. The staff always checks in on you to ensure you’re having a great experience and food is fresh. Great spot to stop in for breakfast/ lunch with family or friends 😊💕 you don’t find diners like this in Miami

Walter’s is located in a shopping center so there’s plenty of parking. Got seated right away the waitress, and the hostess very kind took our order. Route the coffee right away everything was delicious. definitely wanna go back and try something different. Overall the experience was wonderful.

Great place to have breakfast. This is my first time here but will definitely be coming back. The service I received I was treated as a regular or family. Prices were good and the food was great. Ta’shay was our waitress. She was great very friendly, fast and very attentive. Recommend dining with her if she’s there. My new favorite breakfast spot. But they have everything.

Popped in today, haven’t been here for a few years. Shay was awesome!!! Big friendly personality, I ordered “the usual “ Togo, shout to the cooks because the food was perfect!!!! I will most definitely be back💯 Front of house staff are nice too! Thank you Shay🔥🔥🔥

Food service and ambiance were all amazing! Loved that the waitress asked if we wanted soft or crispy home fries (go for the crispy!). Only thing I would say was bad was the coffee. I'm a 2 cup guy and I didn't even drink half of the first cup. Wound up going to Starbucks after. Will definitely return though as the food and service were really that good!

Just ate here and the food was on point as always. Great place to get all day breakfast

Yes back in Miami visiting one of my old favorite breakfast coffee shops , I ordered the westerns omelette with home fries and toast . I don't want to go to fancy , like the all the kitchen sink or their huge pancakes . It's mid week and this place is quiet and almost empty . But food is good and the ambiance is nice and chill .Good service and atmosphere , feels good to be back the home fries were just right like I like them and the omelette tasted delicious.PS. U know I'll be back for more lol lol..

I have never eaten here before and my fiancé surprised me with breakfast here the other day. The food was really delicious and so filling that I brought home leftovers. The service was pretty good but I haven't been there when it's busy. The ambiance was nice and I could actually enjoy myself. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is in the area. I will definitely come for lunch and dinner on another day. Two thumbs up.

Saturday morning that is the best time to get breakfast at Walter's Coffee Shop. I had Eggs, sausage and croissant! It's was delicious! My daughter had the omelette, French toast, a side of pancakes! The service was excellent! The ambiance was welcoming!

Had breakfast here today, place never disappoints in the food. Def worth a try if your in the Palmetto Bay Area come check it out

I had the all American omelet with ham, bacon, & cheddar cheese and hash browns with crispy toasts. Hubby had two eggs over easy, sausage, grits and white bread with butter. Quick and fast breakfast. One day I'll try the Pho bowls.

We came in for a quick bite, as our car was being serviced in the area. We waited about 10 minutes, took advantage of the yelp wait in line option & were called in for seating. Saturday mornings are busy, so do expect a wait. The host was really nice and welcoming. We were pleased with our selections, food was warm and tasty. Portion sizes were BIG & good prices. Our waiter was efficient but had an off putting attitude. We felt a little rushed out the door, and this was after the busy surge.

Good food n decent breakfast specials but the wait was a little longer than I would like. Then once we got in our wait for food was a little longer than I would've liked but I thinks it's a good option for decently priced food with decent portions.

We decided to give this place another shot since our previous experience wasn't the best. It definitely had redeemed itself. Food was delicious as it once was with previous owners. There was a little wait for our food but it was worth the wait. We will be coming back.

It's really gone down in service & food quality. I used to eat there at least once a week, but now the restaurant is dirty, the service sucks and the food is just nasty.

I like going here and just sitting at the counter, ordering my breakfast and eating it. The service is quick and to the point and they are willing to customize my breakfast to make it how I want it. Nothing super special to talk about just overall solid, good food.

Tashay was the best!!! She was really nice, served us great food, and recommended places for us to visit during our vacation.

We brought a party of 8--kids, parents, and my sister--so I knew we'd be a handful. Yelp did warn about calling ahead for groups over 7, so I did, but after being on hold for 7 minutes with no answer, I gave up. Thankfully, when we arrived, they were super accommodating (shoutout to Mercy!) and had us seated in about 10 minutes. At first, it looked like they were short-staffed--just Mercy and two other servers hustling--but Chris, our waiter, handled our table like a pro. He got every order spot-on, and the food came out surprisingly fast. I had the shrimp and grits with a side of corned beef hash--delicious. My wife, a pescatarian, was thrilled they added shrimp to her omelet. My son's garlic parm wings could've been crispier (note to self: ask for extra crispy next time), but they were still good. The kids' French toast, eggs, and sausage all hit the spot. The menu's mix of Southern comfort and Vietnamese cuisine is unique--I didn't get to try the pho yet, but next time, I'm diving in. The scratch-made garlic chili oil on the table was a flavor bomb! We skipped dessert, but the kids ended the meal with some hot cocoa. Overall, great experience--we'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!

What happened to Walter's??? Used to love this place, and now its so different. I went in for breakfast, decent french toast although a bit too "eggy" for my taste. Service was quick, not too nice but quick. Ambiance was decent, don't like the high chairs and im scared to sit outside so close to the crazy street. EDIT: Want to say thank you to the owner for the response below and clarifying the new adjustments to the business. Best of luck, look forward to seeing more.

Wow--completely unexpected rude service from the moment we walked in. We were asked to wait outside in the pouring rain, which was already disappointing. To make matters worse, the restaurant manager came outside yelling into her phone, using curse words every other sentence right in front of my small children and other customers. The food may look great, but the service completely ruined the experience.

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!! I never thought Walters could ever be better than when Walter the father and Mother ran it. But OMG these new owners are so loyal and creative. Let me start by telling you that some of Walter's employers stayed with the new Walter's. So the breakfast, which half of our party had was nostalgic and as delicious as always. NOW...... let's move over to the Vietnamese side. OMG!!!!!! This PHO IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. The broth in this soup is soooooo delicious. The other half of our party ate from the Vietnamese side. One of the owners came by the table to make sure we were doing good, and he is so polite and attentive to the business. Our waitress Laura just couldn't do enough for us. The male servers who helped Laura always had a smile on their faces. The working dynamic seems to be a cohesive one which always alludes to a great working environment thus making the customers visit pleasant. The restaurant is clean, bright, and welcoming. I recommend The new Walter's wholeheartedly and hands-down, you will not go wrong here. If nostalgic is what you're looking for stick to the original Walters breakfast and lunch menu. If Pho is what you're looking for then your hearts content will be satisfied here. Thank you, Walter's for your service, your cleanliness, and your delicious meals. We will be back.

At Walter's Coffee Shop you can enjoy a hearty breakfast that tastes like a home-cooked meal! The environment is relaxed and everyone is friendly. The food portions are large (much more than other restaurants). OMG...the omelets are awesome. The fries will make you say "Wow" because they're so tender and flavorful! Check them out!

It's gone downhill. I ordered take out and showing up after 45 minutes like they said it'd take my husband waited an extra 30 minutes and my waffle was burnt. Don't waste time or money there.

We have been going to Walters for many many years- it is the best place to get a wholesome breakfast/ meal to fill you up. The coffee is absolutely the best in town, it's always hot and on point. The staff is great, they always welcome us with a smile & Tasha is #1 we love her!!

Nice local spot in palmetto bay. Usually come here around 1pm and haven't had to wait for a table. The restaurant is big but not that many tables. Their menu is pretty large. If you're craving something it'll probably be on the menu. I ordered their patty melt and it was super toasted. The burger was pretty thin and there were times when I was just eating the bread. I think the burger needed to be a bit bigger. Their fries weren't my favorite. I've order their egg sandwich and it was great. The bacon was cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed their breakfast potatoes. They had a lot of flavor and the seasoning was perfect. They have giant pancakes that are great for the table. They're kind of bland without any syrup. We also tried their blueberry pancake and it wasn't very good.

Had lunch with my dad at Walter's pho today. Had a great experience. The host mercy was very sweet and our waitress Tashay gave us great customer service! The pho soup was great. Will be back again soon.

This place is not in my usual area so I wouldn't normally come here. We happen to be at a special event down south and we were craving in an old-school breakfast. I looked up on yelp, and although there were mixed reviews, we decided to give it a try. It's definitely old school with most of the seating around the counter. But it has been updated and very clean. We were immediately seated by the owner Grace, who took it over from her dad who opened it over 40 years ago. She even took the time to tell us a little bit of the history of the place. The servers were friendly, and immediately took care of us. We ordered the avocado Benedict and a ham and cheese omelette. Both were delicious and the portions, not only ours, but all the ones we noticed coming out were so plentiful. I also have to note that I'm a little bit of a coffee snob and it was delicious. They even serve alcoholic beverages, if you choose to have some. The prices were surprisingly quite reasonable in today's market. We will definitely be back, well worth the trip.

On a diner scale, this is definitely a 5. There was a big group of us and someone suggested this spot. I wasn't too thrilled with the rating but still went with it begrudgingly. I'm glad I did! Everyone loved their food. The service was quick and professional. Here's what I had - Breakfast wrap (sub Turkey bacon) - Eggs, cheese and choice of meat. This was very tasty and a nice size. Probably the best Turkey bacon I've ever had, tasted almost just like regular bacon. I think with avocado and spinach it would have been perfect. I had it with their home fries, which were tasty but could have been a bit better with a little more black pepper, salt and crispier. 4.5/5. I have no complaints. If you're in the area and looking for a good hearty breakfast, look no further. Walter's is great!

The food is overpriced for what you get. My pancakes tasted like Vietnamese food. With the pancakes they give you hotel-style Smuckers syrup cups. The coffee was terrible. Just avoid this place and go to IHOP.

We went to Walter's today, May 24, 2025 at 8am. It started out really good but then as we were finishing our food, a roach ran across the floor. We told the waitress about it and she said she'll tell the owner. Didn't even offer a discount or bring the owner to us.

One Star is Being Generous. As soon as my family and I stepped inside, we were greeted, not with a smile or a "welcome in" but with a silent point from a woman mopping the floor, directing us where to go like we were in the way. No greeting, no warmth, just a dismissive gesture. She eventually approached us with menus and half-heartedly explained that she didn't want anyone walking on the wet floor... which might've made sense, if it excused her rudeness. It didn't. She slapped the menus on the table like we were an inconvenience. Thankfully, the young waitress who ended up serving us was sweet and attentive. She picked up on the tension immediately, especially after I asked how long the new owners had been in place. (Let's just say, my tone said everything.) She did her best- and for that, she earned her 20%. Now for the food... it was honestly awful. Two omelets, one tasted like it skipped the salt entirely, and the fries? Burnt beyond recognition, drenched in old oil, with that bitter aftertaste that says, "we don't care." It was bad enough to make you wonder if anyone in the kitchen had even tasted the food they were sending out. To make things even more confusing, they handed us a separate menu offering Japanese dishes. At a diner. With no explanation. The whole concept felt thrown together, like they're trying anything to survive, and failing. If this place is owned by the same group behind Sergio's, then it all makes sense. This restaurant is a mess- poor service, worse food, and an identity crisis on top. The only bright spot was the kind server who deserves way better than this disaster of an establishment.

Want order or eat from this establishment potato fries are burt twice in had this problem i ask for another breakfast they were extremely ruin don't visit this establishment manager doesn't value customers. rating

The food was delicious. Eggs poached perfectly. Hash was super crispy. Only complaint was home fries were not fresh. Next time might get grits. But the rest perfect. Service was good, except waitress forgot I ordered gravy. Ambiance was great. Might sit at counter next time, for more privacy. But, breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend. Make sure home fries are fresh.

Good good spot. If it's early and you need a hardy meal for breakfast. This should be your go to spot for sure. Plates are huge and delicious. They have everything you need to start the day off right. Service is great.

I looked forward to my usually well prepared and tasty breakfast at Walter's. Arrived around 11:00AM and surprisingly, it was not crowded at all. Was met with the usual welcoming bubbly greetings from the hostess. Although not crowded, it took a longer than normal time to be met by our server but, ok, that happens sometimes. Alls good. It also took a bit longer than usual to get our orders. My wife ordered a Benedict, a usual favorite. Our home fries were delivered much cooler than the rest of the food on our plates. We said nothing about that. I was almost finished eating when my toast was delivered and the fruit cup my wife ordered came out at that same time. The timing of the whole meal was really poor and disjointed although there should not have been a reason for it to be so. What ripped the experience came a bit later! The Hollandaise Sauce on her Bene was disgusting to the point she scraped most of it to the side of her plate. Instead of it being a nice smooth creamy sauce, it had the looks and texture of a thick gravy with yellow coloring added. I tasted it and it even tasted like that. My wife asked if she could speak to a manager. After quite the wait again, a lady came to the table and said rather bruskly, You wanted to see me? The wife asked what was wrong with the Hollandaise Sauce. The lady looked quite disturbed and said that yes that was their sauce and that's the way it comes from the can. Can? Are you kidding me? The manager person was obviously disturbed at the question and gave full indication she was not happy to be called out front to be asked about it. She stood there looking at us for a few seconds and asked if that was all we wanted! Well, yes, we were concerned about the quality of what we were served! With that, she turned, obviously disturbed at being bothered by something so simple as food quality, and stomped off back to the kitchen or wherever else was more important than being disturbed by a customer! Ok! I've enjoyed Walter's for the last several years for their good food and friendly service! However, we've more than likely enjoyed our last meal there. Not because of cold home fries, or because of somewhat slow service and not being checked on frequently enough to keep my coffee cup serviced, but because of the lack of care on the part of someone who represented themselves as part of management! If it's a bother to be told by a customer that the quality of the food was lacking, then it makes me wonder if management even cares enough to make sure that their product is safe and healthy! If you're facing your customer, at least present yourself as caring about their concerns. At this point, I'd almost settle for a generous portion of "Don't be rude and surly to your customers!"

PHOKAHOLIC By far the best pho I've had by far, the waitress was amazing, food was fast and the portion sizing options were a perfect as many places only serve one size. Well worth what we paid and the shrimp rolls were amazing. Very large with plenty of seating and booths are always a plus as well. We will definitely be coming back!

Waited an entire hour for this :) half empty store too not busy at all. Never coming back

Solid breakfast. Generous portions. Food comes out pretty fast. Pretty decent menu. My favorites are Redneck Benedict (poached eggs over sausage gravy and biscuits) and the blueberry waffles.

Walter's Coffee Shop can be improved in many areas. The food is not bad, but it's the environment that needs to be worked on. The floor is very dirty, the tables and chairs were dirty when we sat down, and there's lots of flies inside the restaurant flying around. We also had to wait 30 minutes for just two entrees to come out. I ordered the "Everything But the Kitchen Sink" omelette. It was very filling and tasty.

Went to Walters today and the experience was great. The service was nice. The food was out and ready in no time with great taste. I will be going back.

Well, happy to report that Walter's Coffee Shop is still as awesome as ever. Nothing better for breakfast in this area as far as I am concerned. The food is as always great, affordable and excellent value for the money. Figured I would post an update to my prior review. Feel free to stop by and enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner at a South Florida / Palmetto Nay / Cutler Bay landmark. Walter and his family have been turning frowns upside down with great food for as far back as I can remember. Enjoy and Bon Appétit!

The ice tea was good and the Jalapeño poppers very tasty and nice and spicy. They kind or resemble the Jalapeño poppers from BK. It is deep fried and has a slice of Jalapeño and stuffed with cheese. Also, if you show up Saturday nights after 8:30pm they have amateur comedy night. Having a good drink and some food while a funny comedy show depending on the comic. Overall its a fun night and recommend to show up and have a good night with friends or for a date.

very disgusting and dirty place there are roaches everywhere dont come here your experience wont be very pleasant , and the workers here cant even explain how unprofessional and unethical they are specially the servers

I was a little iffy about coming to Walter's because of their mixed reviews but I came anyway and no regrets! Service was great, food was even better. I had their egg Benedict with a side of home fries and bacon. Also ordered 1 pancake. The egg Benedict's were delicious! I left NO crumbs. Home fries were seasoned well. Bacon was perfect. I was too full to eat the pancake but I will say....that was the biggest pancake I've ever seen. I'll definitely recommend this place for breakfast.

We came here a year ago, I wasn't impressed then, but my husband liked the pancakes (but not the grits or cheese eggs). Well, he was craving pancakes, so we decided to give it another try. He ended up getting an omelet, toast & cheesy grits (no pancakes!). He didn't care for the omelet, it had processed cheese slices on it, and it was too dense. I ordered the red neck benedict, which is sausage gravy & poached eggs on an english muffin, with potatoes. The waitress was very attentive & accommodating, she noticed that I wasn't eating my food & removed it from our bill. I just couldn't yall. The gravy taste like it came out of a can, the sausage taste freezer burnt, and the potatoes were exceptionally GREY and salty. I ended up grabbing food elsewhere. We left a nice tip for the waitress because she took good care of us, but we came for the food & it was another miss for me.

thank you again Christine great service you always remember what we like and food is great Family atmosphere. We love Funder special for breakfast.

After reading so many negative reviews and almost not coming because of them, I am glad I went with my gut and tried Walter's anyway. It was a great surprise! We came for Sunday breakfast at 8:30 am and the restaurant was already half full. We were greeted with a friendly smile from the gentleman at the main entrance and he sat us down immediately. Our server, Jaden, came shortly after and asked for our drink order and she was fast, attentive, and so sweet and courteous. My husband and I ordered "the Usual" which was 2 eggs, bacon or sausage and potatoes or grits. I got two eggs over easy, sausage patties and grits. I NEVER order grits but this time I said let me just give them a try. Oh my goodness they were DELICIOUS! My simple breakfast ended up being the best breakfast I've had in a long time. I give them 5 stars for service and food but 4 stars overall because the kitchen took a little longer than it should have considering the order was very simple. It was not a terrible long wait either - I enjoyed not being rushed and have quality time with my husband. The ambience was very family oriented and it was lovely too.

We came in for breakfast and the service was slow. Our meal was brought out in parts and most have finished eating and others still do not have their food. The waitresses are bickering in front of the entire restaurant. I'm frustrated and will never return.

Wonderful breakfast spot that serves traditional breakfast fare. The home fries are made with fresh potatoes. The Benedict options are vast, and the service is exceptional HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This Coffee shop is just ok. The pancakes were very undercooked and bland. I've had better service at the Waffle House. But if you are just hungry for breakfast which is what I tried it's not bad I've just had better. The prices are reasonable for what you get also

Been coming for over 20 years, since I was a kid. It's not the same after the new ownership. Disappointing. Food isn't the same. Everything from the ketchup down to the napkins and straws are rationalized. Not sure I'll come back.

Walter's is unique.... Was thoroughly confused when I showed up for breakfast and found two in one here. American style breakfast, and Pho? Hmmmm ok.. However, what's this? Vietnamese Iced Coffee!?? Yes please!!! We had breakfast, I had my coffee, it was amazing! Our server, Ms. Shae, was also amazing. Funny, charismatic just a pleasure. I highly recommend them. We went back another time for Pho, and although less crowded, because the breakfast side was closed, still very nice. Please give them a try, it's worth it.

I was there for a second time , food is very good , coffee ok .. but they need to fix the Orange juice machine , please clean it , dont tell customers OJ comes with black things on it and there is nothing you can do , the response I got from waitress , they look like flies floating in your glass , not a good appeareance
