Great coffee! We tried the Tres Leches coffee which was super smooth and sweet. I would highly recommend trying this place!
Me encanto!! I’m a coffee fanatic and wanted to come try the coffee from here!! The interior design is reminiscent of Havana life with the option to purchase decor as well! The owner was so respectful and kind to us! He took the time to ask us what we enjoyed and based his recommendation on that! Highly recommend the tres leches cafe, cappuccino, and coco flan!
I loved this place. Great price, quality coffee. Staff is very friendly. One of the more welcoming establishments in little Havana to non spanish speaking customers. I highly recommend.
This is the first time I've had cuban coffee and it's so good. I forgot the name of the coffee I ordered, but it was recommended by a barista there. It was $13 and had different layers. A little expensive, but this is a tourist area so understandable and I would definitely go again before I leave Miami.
First of all the service here is always extremely friendly and they bring a lot of great energy. It’s a joy to visit. This is most important to me because service is often lacking in Miami. I want to feel good about the businesses I support and I feel good supporting la colada gourmet. And the coffee and pastries are good too. Not the best in the world but always consistent and always good. They have some speciality coffees that are super yummy and worth it to try! The only downside and what keeps it from a full 5 stars for me is the fact that they open so late. I get that they’re on a major tourist destination street, but there are other businesses open earlier, a restaurant on the corner and Starbucks. I avoid Starbucks whenever possible. But if I take a walk around the neighborhood in the morning la colada gourmet isn’t open: it keeps it from feeling like a community spot and more like it’s only for tourists. It also makes it feel less like a coffee shop which I love to visit in the morning but don’t really have too many options on calle ocho where I live. I have to get in my car if I want to go somewhere in the morning for a local spot I can sit and enjoy my morning coffee. So, I just end up making coffee at home most often and visit la colada once in a while, for a special occasion and a speciality coffee. ❤️
Very nice coffee spot, decor is cute and coffee themed (which if you really like a piece you can purchase), barista was ok, coffee was good, it gets busy quick and there's probably around 15~ seats.
Tourist trap. Nearly $10 for a 6 oz sugary coffee drink. When asked why it's so expensive the waitress pretends like they don't speak English and just says taxes. Save your money and go to Starbucks just down the street. You'll get way better quality coffee.
The entire staff is so friendly and helpful! We walked in and were greeted and seated immediately. Our server asked if it was our first time, which it was. She then asked what our coffee preferences are and made recommendations based on our tastes. I only drink decaf and non-dairy milk, which I assumed wouldn’t be possible here, but she didn’t even blink at my restrictions. We also ordered the guava and cheese pastries, which were delicious. While we were dining, they roasted a batch of coffee in the roaster that’s in the cafe area. We were then able to buy beans from that batch immediately. Such a great spot!
Absolutely loved it! The coffee was so different and morning like I've had before (I've never had Cuban coffee before so that checks out). Definitely recommend the Capablanca (I did end up staying up till 3am after that though). If you have a sweet tooth and don't mind treating that aspect of you then try the tres leches. Added bonus are the cute little souvenirs placed all over the store.
The coffee here is delicious especially the alcoholic coffees. All of the staff was amazing especially Yoanis. Be sure to check out the artwork and things you can buy off the walls while you wait for them to make your drink.
Terrific morning stop for a relaxed coffee and slice of rum cake before exploring Little Havana. Table service was fast and this Cafe has bright art, desserts to choose from and coffee paraphernalia such as pots and beans. Small cups of tasty coffee were piping hot and the cake was moist and deeply flavored. Recommended.
Love, love, love!! This was one of my first stops in Miami. I don't remember the barista's name but she was SO sweet. She came up to me and my parents and asked each of us how we like our coffee (light or strong, sweet or not) and made each of us what we wanted to our liking. Highly recommend this spot!
Delicious coffee and cute atmosphere with fantastic service!
Super friendly people and amazing coffee! I just asked what is the most popular traditional Cuban coffee and they recommended the bombon coffee. It was delicious! Highly recommend when strolling in Little Havana.
The place looks cozy and I loved the ambiance. The coffee was just how I like it, sweet and strong. The staff was the best part. They immediately try to start a conversation and treat you as part of the family. I wish I would have gotten their names but the made my whole experience memorable. I also saw how they treated the rest of the guests and it was a superb service. Must go destination in Calle ocho.
Love love love their coffee, strong coffee smell and milk mix so well with it. Overall, the best Cuba coffee I have ever had!
This place is one of the best spots in Calle Ocho. The people here are so kind. The vibe is fantastic. I asked for a hot chocolate with coffee. They made this divine concoction which took me to another world.
We always stop by when we're in Miami. Little Havana is a wonderful community and this shop is, as well.
The barista suggested trying a cuban bombon and it was good!
This cafe is very atmospheric and cozy. I tried the Tres Leches - it was perfectly sweet but also the coffee was strong. Located right at Little Havana. There are a lot of small details, pictures, cupboard with cute cups and saucers, coffee makers. You can also taste delicious desserts here as well and buy their coffee ☺️
