This is my favourite spot on Ocean Drive . Perfect place to chill and people watch for hours. I love the Penne pasta with grilled chicken , olive oil , garlic , and basil . Plus a nice cold beer . Enjoy!

Anna Axelsson

The staff is very friendly 😀 Open on our early walks at 05. We loved the grape fruit juice . My son of 12 who had many burgers said these were the best in the area. Even better than five guys.

Miami New Times

Munch cold cuts and any of a dozen cheeses and sip your choice of three fine wines by the glass, or while away an entire day with a bottle, listening to piped-in and piped-out (to porch ) jazz . Read more

Наталья Прекрасная

Great selection of breakfast 🍳 I've got eggs benedict with spinach . I won't lie I tried eggs much better than those but they were fine and service is very good there. Ocean road is beautiful.

Erica Belkin

I've enjoyed this place religiously with my father for date night since I was a kid and as an adult I can say easily the strawberry mojito was the best mojito I've ever had. Pasta still to die for!

Victoria

My penne pasta was split, the grilled chicken I added to it was great, though. Great area, lots of seating with a scenic view . Seems like more of a tourist trap than anything. Wouldn’t recommend it.

location is perfect in the heart od oceandrive..staff is friendly .i like to do breakfast there.with birds on trees who stoles splendas from tables..amazing foods&drinks..my favorite café of Miami:)

Ivor Micallef

awesome spot at Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, especially because all the beach-facing places tend to look all the same. BEWARE: 20% tips are automatically (and seemingly obligatory) added to the bill.

dania malki

Excellent food. The one place that doesnt stick the menu in your face. Todd is excellent waiter has great suggestions. Open 24hrs serving all items on the menu. Oh and the view is spectacular ;)

Anechka M.

My shrimp skewers were perfect and the service was excellent, the waiter went wag and beyond to make our evening pleasant

Before or after hitting the beach , stop by here and snag a seat outdoors for prime people watching and a solid eggs benedict , which is served all day.

Morgan Thomas

This outdoor restaurant is close to the beach and is great for a quick, cheap meal. It's also open late , so when you are returning to your hotel , you can get a quick meal before you head to bed.

Pawlowski Todd

Come early on Sat, parking can be found on Ocean Dr. and the meters are free until 0900. Sit on the terrace and just enjoy the world waking up here as the sun comes up over the ocean in the east...

Miami New Times

News Cafe is still the most iconic place to breakfast on Miami Beach and since it's open 24 hours , we suggest waking up with the roosters and getting the best breakfast in SoBe .

Glenn Ebert

A South Beach legend, News Cafe is about as prime location for people watching as it gets; not to mention it trumps the crowd at Johnny Rockets. Food is passable, and eggs benedict is a must.

Jamie Rocha

One of the only more classy spots on Ocean to enjoy some cocktails , good food (breakfast !) and some great people watching . Great prices makes it even better!

Stacey~Marie

Great people watching . The breakfast sandwich on a french roll was delicious. Make sure to take a stroll at Lummus Park afterwards. South Beach is awesome!

Jackie G

Get the breakfast special : 2 eggs , news fries , your choice of meat and a coffee/juice/tea for only 10.50! Enjoy it with a street side view ! Fantastic!

Sakura Armstrong

Our group had the following.... conch fritters(good size n great taste), side salad (lots of fresh vegs & nice house dressing ), and bacon cheeseburger (it was ok apparently)...

Mary

Awesome food - and good prices! ($15 - $30 depending on your appetite) this hot spot in South Beach is an Icon. In the heart of Design District and open 24/7. :)

Holiday

Middle eastern combo is delish. Love the old timey atmosphere and friendly staff .

Melanie Rudolph

Wonderful 24 hour cafe - everything I've had is great.

Camille Wright

Wonderful restaurant right across from the beach . Awesome for people watching . I love the hummus and middle eastern salad .

Buff Martin

Great outdoor setting to eat breakfast and see the beach & other activities going on. Just don't sit next to the sidewalk. Too much foot traffic. DELICIOUS food and BIG portions

Ryan Scott Tandy

Grab the paper, a cup of coffee and enjoy the only quiet time you'll find on Ocean Dr. (They also have fun drinks in coconuts at night!)

Irina Cueni

Best location to have a decent breakfast at Ocean Drive - my favorite

Shn Juay

Decent food & great outdoor seating area facing Miami beach for people-watching! Courteous waiter also offered to move us indoors once it started raining, not bad~~~

Andy Noble

One of my favorite hangouts on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach - also, unfortunately where Versace at breakfast before returning by walk several blocks to his home (and death by gunshot)

Alex McClard

The fried egg sandwich was really good!

👑Майя

Jaisy

Smoked salmon Eggs Benedict w/o the muffins . View of the beach makes it amazing.

Kerem Dereli

Nice and cozy spot on Ocean Drive at South Beach ..see and be seen but really casual as well ..the foods in general are decent.

Jason Bell

You can't go wrong with the 2 egg breakfast special . Fruit salad portions are large and the fruit is nice and fresh.

Joanne Moussa

Eggs benedict , coffee and orange juice with a great view of Ocean drive

Jennifer S

Try the Coconut Mojito - First time having one and its better than I could have imagined. Easily the best mojito I've had in South Beach .

Carol Lockyer

They have an amazing pizza that's not on the menu . It has lox , cream cheese , raw onions & capers . Add a squeeze of lemon . Yummy !

Helena Cruz

One of the best places to have breakfast in Miami -South Beach ! Super delicious french toasts ! Go ahead and try it!

Fashiontribes.com

Awesome diner 'ish food (think Yaffa Cafe in NYC's East Village ) and really dog-friendly. Apparently Spike Lee had been in earlier, so people-watching's on the menu, too. We'll be going back for sure.

Esteban Sway

Can't think of many better ways to start the day. Awesome food. Ambiance is on point. Location speaks for itself.

Jerome Navarro

Terrace with view , Wi-Fi, omelet with Brie

Sys E

Breakfast tip: get the breakfast special (eggs , choice of meat, toast , juice & coffee ) and a Mediterranean plate . Mix and match, delicious.

Deja Osbourne

breakfast special comes with potatoes , meat, coffee and juice . you get alot for your money and unlike other breakfast spots , they have non dairy creamer :D !

Amanda Nader

Spinach mozarella and tomato omellette is to die for!!

Niamh Breslin

Nice chilled out cafe for people watching . Less crazy than most on the block. Tasty cocktails !

Great view of the beach , perfect place for a slow breakfast

Nicolas Jaramillo

Everything is good.

The cuban sandwich was surprisingly on point!

Great breakfast . They give lots of food and service is decent. Not the cheapest spot on the strip tho if you're looking to be economic.

Excellent service and one of the best brunches you can have in Miami beach.
