  • All Day

    1035 N. Miami Ave. Downtown/Overtown

    305-699-3447

    Nationally recognized barista Camila Ramos’ downtown coffee shop is a bright, tropical oasis nestled between downtown, Overtown, and the Miami Arts District. The centerpiece of the space is the massive La Marzocco espresso machine, among the largest in the nation, from which Ramos and her skilled team craft perfect cortados, espressos, and macchiatos. Pair one with a thoughtfully sourced lineup of eats, including some of the city’s best egg sandwiches. And don’t even think of missing All Day’s seasonal drink. Ramos the crew spend months creating special coffee-based beverages such as Our Sweetheart No. 4 (cold brew, rosemary syrup, and lime juice), Coffeewein (white oak-aged cold brew, roselle tea, and salted cacao bitters), and the Paloma (grapefruit, nitro coffee, and pink peppercorn syrup topped with tonic water and dried pineapple).

  • Angelina's Coffee and Yogurt

    3451 NE First Ave., #102B Midtown/Wynwood/Design District

    305-424-9129

    Like another Angelina, this yogurt joint likes to steal. In this case, it's not a husband, but a concept. Borrowing from the whole DIY restaurant trend and Coral Gables's My Yogurt Bliss, Angelina's is a self-serve, create-your-own-frozen-yogurt-and-get-charged-by-the-weight type of place. Yet unlike the kooky, loud, UM-friendly fro-yo shop down south, this place has more of a hip midtown vibe. Basically, it has chicer décor (complete with menus scribbled on chalkboards AKA the standard stamp of, "Yeah, we're cool" in this particular neighborhood). Waffles and coffee are also on hand for purchase. One major downfall? No hot fudge! Another? Coffee and yogurt flavors have a tendency to get bitter; make sure to sample before you buy. But, hey when you've got a dessert shop with a fun concept, friendly service, and free WiFi you can't complain much.

  • Angelique Euro Cafe

    117 Miracle Mile Coral Gables/S. Miami

    305-529-9922

    Eating here might seem like a blessed event. First, the owners christened this breakfast, lunch, and dinner café their "little miracle" in gold letters above the bar. And second, they have become quite popular for one particular dessert: wedding cake. Miracle Mile shoppers long ago discovered this great stopping point for a slice of the almond-tinged yellow cake with apricot filling and buttercream frosting. But just because there's a selection of loose teas in the back, housed above a display case highlighting decadent cakes and pastries, don't be fooled. This is not a froufrou bakery. It's mostly a sophisticated Euro-style café with a menu comprising predominantly Spanish, Italian, French, and Belgian eats. There are tortillas Catalañas with chorizo and white beans; pasta carbonara; tuna Niçoise; and moules marinières. You mussel aficionados might also want to check out the moules frites: Prince Edward Island mussels prepared four ways - fromage bleu, marinière, chorizo, and ah bière (our fave) - with choice of draft beer or house white wine. The café also offers 40 wines by the glass at an average of only $6. And there are more than 50 types of beer, with a dozen on tap. Can't decide? Wine Spectator ratings are printed right on the wine list, and crafty cocktails made of fortified versions are available. Beer lovers can order a flight of brews for only $9. If you've yearned for a little European hangout in Coral Gables, Angelique might be the answer to your prayers.

  • Berries in the Grove

    2884 SW 27th Ave. Coconut Grove

    305-448-2111

    Dining in a Miami restaurant could be compared to picking wild berries. Some are unripe, some are rotten, some prick you like thorns, and some, like blackberries, are delightfully unique but come with a few pesky seeds. The last describes Berries, a friendly spot that has morphed from a laid-back, take-out wraps and smoothies window to a hip, bustling, hippie-centric café. This place doesn't try to break new culinary ground but succeeds at placing well-prepared, generously sized, and relatively healthful dishes on the table.

  • Big Squeeze Juice Bar

    18315 W. Dixie Highway, Sunny Isles Beach North Dade

    305-935-9544

    Despite our proximity to the ocean, Miami suffers from a tragic lack of laidback shack-type spots to grab grub and an icy drink (no, Ocean Drive's overpriced sidewalk cafes don't count). Luckily, Big Squeeze Juice Bar in North Miami Beach fills in that gaping hole in our dining landscape. The bright, vibrantly painted interior counter and outdoor shaded hut, decked out with tropical plants providing additional shade and bench swings, dish out mostly vegetarian healthful salads and sandwiches (though there are a few chicken and fish dishes), and smoothies and fresh-pressed juices. The falafel sandwich --crisp, cleanly fried chickpea fritters nestled in warm pita bread and topped with a creamy, vegan tahini sauce -- is one of the best renditions in town. And it can be washed down with a low-calorie but flavorful tropical smoothie ($5) blended with coconut milk and honey instead of any animal products or sugar. Additionally, iced smoothie-coffee blends, wheatgrass shots, and lemonades and juices are served. Adding to the hippy-surfer-beach bum vibe, acoustic guitar performances are common.

  • Chuck Wagon Restaurant

    7355 Bird Rd. Westchester/West Miami

    305-266-4979

    In Miami you can get a pan Cubano and café con leche just about anyplace, but an American breakfast requires a bit of a search. So lovers of corned beef hash and biscuits with gravy, rejoice, because Chuck Wagon can satisfy your yearnings for a great morning meal. The menu offers an abundance of choices: eggs with bacon and sausage or Kentucky ham, omelets with cheese or even chili, blueberry pancakes, chocolate chip waffles, and walnut French toast. Can't decide? Order a "Chuck Wagon Grand Slam" -- two eggs, bacon or sausage, home fries or grits, and toast or biscuits with sausage gravy -- for the amazing price of $6.15. If you have a lighter appetite, there are breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal, or English muffins. And if you simply can't live without café con leche, don't worry -- Chuck Wagon has that too.

  • The Daily Creative Food Co.

    2001 Biscayne Blvd. Midtown/Wynwood/Design District

    305-573-4535

    The Daily serves a familiar menu of light food, differentiated mostly by the journalistic theme reflected in its playful paperboy logo. Worthy signature sandwiches, almost all named for local and national newspapers, include the very tasty Wall Street Journal (smoked salmon, avocado, tomato, and alfalfa sprouts on thick slices of fresh pumpernickel, with an assertively tingly cucumber/wasabi dressing) and the Miami New Times, one of many vegetarian options. It's also possible to create your own sandwich or salad from a list of several dozen ingredients. And if a panini isn't your thing, dinner is also available, from taste-bud tinglers such as hummus and entrées such as seared tuna and mac 'n' cheese to a local favorite, lechón. Ingredients here are a giant step up from fast-food sandwich chains (which is why the Daily is a bit pricier), especially the impressive fresh breads, as well as sauces tasty enough you'll want to remember to ask for extra.

  • Donut Gallery Diner

    83 Harbor Dr. Key Biscayne

    305-361-9985

    We need not go on and on here. We're talking food on a stool. Tucked away in the corner of a secluded strip mall in Key Biscayne, this more than 40-year-old neighborhood hangout is short on elbow room, long on history, and steeped in cholesterol. Think we're exaggerating? The house special — AKA "Ted's special" — consists of ham, bacon, eggs, and cheese on a buttered English muffin. Next time you're in the area, slide in, grab a seat, and slip back to a time when nuts and berries were for the birds.

  • Driftwood Room

    1825 Collins Ave., Miami Beach South Beach

    305-503-5700

    The roasted eggplant dip at Driftwood Room, the new restaurant at the revamped Nautilus South Beach Hotel, arrives packed inside a charred zucchini. Diners have two options: Plunge the accompanying pita slices into the tangy eggplant, or cut right into the zucchini and enjoy two tasty vegetables in one bite, sans bread. Such was the intention of the eatery's executive chef, Alexandra "Alex" Guarnaschelli, who willingly admits she has a hard time eating just one piece of pita. The Iron Chef's goal at her second eatery (the first being Butter in Manhattan) is to highlight Florida's natural bounty of ingredients while ensuring the cuisine is in harmony with the hotel's beachy, Mediterranean vibe. Refreshingly, Driftwood Room does have the least celebrity vibe of the many restaurants helmed by TV-famous chefs in Miami Beach. The prices are also reasonable considering its location. However, if Guarnaschelli wants this spot to be truly embraced by locals, there's much work to be done. A good starting point would be less concentration on fussy cooking methods and de-emphasizing the use of lemon and vinegar — a recurring issue in many dishes.

  • Edge Steak & Bar

    1435 Brickell Ave. Brickell

    305-381-3190

    Quality food that looks and tastes great will fit most folks' bill, even more so if it's fairly priced. Understanding this concept is what gives Edge Steak & Bar the edge over competitors in the steakhouse and hotel restaurant games. The seafood and Creekstone Farms steaks are offered in small, medium, and large cuts, with prices to match, including a six-ounce grass-fed Angus Pure filet mignon and a New York strip, each assertively seared on an 1,800-degree infrared grill. Seafoods are likewise portioned to please. A napoleon layered with dark chocolate ganache and gianduja crunch is one of several heavenly and creative desserts. Insider tip: Edge offers $1 oysters on the happy hour menu, but what's more impressive is the custom Edge Tasting Experience. It's a five-course menu by executive chef Aaron Brooks and his culinary team. Every Tuesday, they create a new tasting menu for the week that includes restaurant favorites and off-the-menu items for $65 per person. A beverage pairing costs an additional $35 per person.

  • Einstein Bros Bagels

    1500 Alton Rd., Miami Beach South Beach

    305-534-4003

    There is a secret to serving good coffee that goes beyond the beans, the roast, and the water. Here it is: temperature. And those comical, corporate Einstein Bros. have figured this out. So they start each pot with a blend of Central and South American beans, roasted to a light brown, and they brew the java with water that is between 190 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. (For those who skipped middle-school science: The boiling point of water is 212 degrees F.) Then, when the coffee is made, specially calibrated heaters under each urn hold the coffee at 175 degrees. That's hot. Oh, and if the brothers' employees are paying attention to company directives, they are also brewing up fresh coffee at least every hour, even if that means dumping out a full 1.5-gallon urn, according to Ron Savelli, the chain's vice president of menu development. Of course bagels, sandwiches, and soups are also available. But the allure here is coffee. Hot and fresh, Mel's Neighborhood Blend is perfection.

    6910 Biscayne Blvd. Miami Shores/Biscayne Park

    786-536-7365

    Matteson Koche’s hand-rolled bagels, free of the additives and preservatives found in many renditions, are the heart and soul of this Biscayne Boulevard “bageleria.” Sandwich options include a bacon, egg, and cheese version and the “Lox Supreme,” as well as funkier creations such as the “Avo Spesh,” made with smashed avocado, English cucumber, cream cheese, olive oil, and sea salt. The “EB Original,” with its salty-spicy-rich combination of cream cheese, charred jalapeños, and thick-cut bacon, is not to be missed. Purists can purchase an unadorned bagel or a dozen to take home.

  • El Rey Del Chivito

    6987 Collins Ave., Miami Beach North Dade

    305-864-5566

    The chivito, a Uruguayan sandwich, is often referred to as "a heart attack on a plate." El Rey's basic chivito Canadiense contains steak, ham, cheese, fried eggs, roasted red peppers, tomato, lettuce, and mayonnaise. It's served between two halves of a big baguette. To counteract any possible health-food taint from the lettuce and tomatoes, the sandwich comes with a hefty order of wonderfully greasy French fries. Other popular items here are huge platters of fried eggs and ham on top of fries, and the Milanesa Napolitana "Rey": a breaded, deep-fried steak with ham, cheese, and fried eggs, all atop fries. Frankly, a cholesterol overload never tasted so good.

  • Ella Cafe

    140 NE 39th St., #136 Midtown/Wynwood/Design District

    786-534-8177

    Hidden inside Palm Court, you'll find Ella Cafe, a collaboration between Michael Schwartz and his daughter Ella. Here you can try avocado toast, Greek yogurt, salads, sandwiches, and juices in a bright, industrial space. But beneath the outpost’s seasonal menu is something even sweeter: a rotating doughnut special. Depending on the day, expect flavors such as brown sugar, cinnamon, and white chocolate; brown butter and orange; or melted chocolate and toffee. Each one is crowned with a mini-garnished doughnut hole. All doughnuts are unique and made individually by-hand. Ella keeps flavors trendy too – she's created Matcha green tea icing varieties as well as caramel and cocoa.

  • The Embassy

    4600 NE 2nd Ave. Midtown/Wynwood/Design District

    305-571-8446

    The Embassy in Buena Vista oozes a carefree vibe. Late-night dining pairs with a varied schedule of live music. On any given evening, there might be rock 'n' roll, Cuban son, or jams performed by chef-owner Alan Hughes himself. There is no stage; musicians strum guitars in a tight corner of the dining room. Across the bar, platters are arranged with pintxos, a type of skewered snack popular in northern Spain. A separate small-plates menu changes weekly and lists dishes such as delectable, rich stewed tomatoes topped with capers, black olives, and a buttered slice of baguette, enveloping a luscious, flaky fillet of corvina. But other offerings, such paprika-dusted braised rabbit with a Greek-yogurt-stuffed roasted red pepper and Israeli couscous, are underseasoned. The Embassy is eclectic, imperfect, funky, and erratic. On nights when Wynwood feels too artsy or the Design District seems too snazzy, Hughes's latest venture in Buena Vista is a hip, fascinating, and delightful place to visit.

  • Enriqueta's Sandwich Shop

    186 NE 29th St. Midtown/Wynwood/Design District

    305-573-4681

    A simple sandwich shop at the confluence where Wynwood, Midtown Miami, and Edgewater meet, Enriqueta's remains a holdout in the race to turn Miami into a sea of condominiums and Lululemons. The restaurant is one of the most democratic in the city, its clientele a steady stream of construction workers, galleristas, tourists, and dwellers of the aforementioned condos (David Beckham once paid a visit), all dropping by for their cafecito fixes and Cuban sandwiches — here with a bonus in the form of croquetas pressed into the bread along with the meat and cheese.

  • Europa Car Wash & Cafe

    6075 Biscayne Blvd. Midtown/Wynwood/Design District

    305-754-2357

    Europa is a sleek and ultramodern-looking upscale café that serves sandwiches, wraps, baked goods, and an array of beverages. It also rocks a flat-screen plasma and comfy chairs. Sounds fancy. Well, it operates alongside a car wash at a Chevron gas station on an unassuming corner of Biscayne Boulevard and 61st Street. It's kind of like stumbling upon an adorably quirky secret Starbucks. Stop in for a quick sandwich (bacon, egg, and cheese on a muffin) and a medium coffee. Total cost is $4.25. If you pop in for lunch, try a Renato sandwich (prosciutto, hot capicola, pepper jack cheese, sweet red peppers, and Romano cheese dressing for $6.95) or the Andy, a lunchtime delight that comes with smoked salmon, a blend of sour cream and cream cheese, chive sauce, capers, and lettuce on pumpernickel for $6.99. Sure, a fast-food drive-thru might be cheaper and probably not much different, but this place is cooler and definitely has more options. Plus you can get your car hand-washed while you gorge, lounge, and soak up free Wi-Fi.
