Sat down here one morning for a mimosa. Lovely ambiance and atmosphere. When sitting outside, in the little courtyard area our front, there are trees and umbrellas shading you from the sun as you are swept back away from the bustling of Ocean Drive. No wonder Versace liked it so much.
Very extensive menu, great for our picky eaters and vegan diet. Full breakfast menu all day, burgers, middle eastern fare, even a veggie stir fry for my vegan daughter. Super nice waitstaff. Location by the beach allows for people-watching, and News Cafe is a longtime South Beach icon. Should be part of every visit!
Yum! Late Night Healthy Snack.
I had avacado wrap. It had been sprouts, cherry tomatoes,romaine, garbanzo beans, avocado and fresh squeezed like! (Its #12 or #13 on their board)Oh so good. Great staff and smiles even at 2 am!
Wow has this place changed. Horrible service. Ordered eggs medium sunny - they came burnt well done. Ordered coffee - didn't come with milk and had to wait ten min for it. They redid the eggs and then forgot to give me any silverware. By the time I had my meal it was already cold. Finally asked for the check and they gave me the bill without a pen to sign it with. Like what kind of alternate reality is this restaurant operating in?? A shame because it used to be good. Not coming back anymore.
This is a lovely place with great food and really good service. The News Cafe is located in an area full of restaurants and bars but they stand out by keeping a low profile and delivering simple good food. The waiters were very friendly and helpful with both food and local information.
After being accosted numerous times by various venues along south beach, we finally decided on the News Cafe.
While initially dubious from the outside, I urge you to look past this and give it a go. The extensive menu can be a little overwhelming at first, but after a brief explanation of certain aspects from our waiter, we settled the quintessential way to start your daybuttermilk pancakes/waffles, streaky bacon and maple syrup, it was heaven. Follow that with a large iced tea and chunky doorstop toast, and you're on to a winner.
The staff seems a little quiet/rushed, but all on all a great breakfast choice. Prime location on South Beach Miami, a fresh breeze and a choice of sunny or shaded tables depending on preference.
my favorite place to have breakfast wish it was closer to my home town! very affordable especially considering its location in Miami. if you're a fan of salmon I would recommend trying there eggs Benedict with salmon! Hands down it's the best I've ever had in my life time.
Food was bland, but the frozen drinks were good and so was the people-watching. No problems with service. Probably wouldn't come back again if I'm in Miami again -- I'm sure there's places in South Beach with just as good of patios but better food.
Food was very good. We had a party of 8 people and everyone got different things. Everything was great, food wise. Service was lacking. Badly. While everyone working there was smiling, it literally took 15 min to bring us waters. In an empty restaurant. It was us and another table of 3 people. This lunch took about 2 + hours because of waiting on food or drinks or check.
Tried fir breakfast, News cafe is a very good sport for those who want to take breakfast early in the morning (a lot nearby are closed before 8AM).
Portion are generous and fruits are extra fresh.
Our waiter was so nice.
I advise you cream cheese bagel. My favourite.
Food was good. Price was more expensive than other nearby places. Service was terrible.
Lovely cafe with ample seating, fabulous ambiance (classical music playing,) shaded from the sun, friendly staff, consistently quality food - with quite a robust selection! Also a lovely place for people-watching.
Visited the second time. Really nice ambience and food. I have tried waffles, French toast, and their breakfast specials, and I love them all.
Love this restaurant. I have visited this restaurant for the last 20yrs and can tell you it is a great value. The food and service has always been consistantly exceptional.
This was one of the best breakfasts i have ever had. I got the crab cake benedict with home fries - and even those had a nice rich sweetness. Everything was fresh even down to the fresh pineapple and orange juice! I would eat here again with my boyfriend !
