“ Absolutely amazing food! This place is a muststop for me every time I visit Miami. The flavors are incredible, and everything is always fresh and delicious. But the real star? The homemade Dubai chocolateits on another level! Rich, smooth, and absolutely addictive. If youre in Miami, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You wont regret it! ”
“ I recently had the pleasure of having breakfast in Miami and it was an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with the perfect mix of charm and modern elegance. The service was exceptional friendly, attentive and truly made me feel welcome. As for the food, every dish was delicious! I highly recommend trying the almond croissant, which was an absolute blast of flavor. I cant wait to go back. ”
“ I came there to try Dubai chocolate. They have 3 versions of it , I asked which ones taste best and she said big one has more filling and might be more sweeter and I went with that and got myself decaf Americano . Tastes like a Russian Soviet Union style halva with chocolate cover. I did not try real one that is why I dont know if it is taste just like real Dubai chocolate . But I heard it does . My check was 51.19 with service fee including included. If you take to go there is no service fee I think and I think that is why everybody there was mostly doing it take out only I attached videos of my chocolate and all pastries and menu and my check and atmosphere ”
“ Vanilla Cafe is a hidden gem in Downtown Miami and quickly becoming one of my favorite spots! Its a cozy and stylish cafe with a real Slavic bakery vibe perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a coffee break. I had a cappuccino, and it was absolutely amazing creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. Their pastries are all made inhouse, and you can really taste the difference. I tried the pistachio croissant, syrniki, and Napoleon cake everything was fresh, beautiful, and delicious. They also offer several glutenfree and vegetarian options. The interior is super aesthetic and Instagramworthy. The service is always warm and welcoming, which adds to the overall charm. Whether youre local or visiting Miami, Vanilla Cafe is 100 worth checking out. Great coffee, authentic flavors, and a relaxing atmosphere it has it all. Highly recommend! ”
“ So cute! In the heart of downtown. Paid street parking. Banana crepe was delicious! And the potato mushroom dumplings were soooo flavorful. I loved the chill but cozy vibe. Good music selection too. And the staff was nice The blue matcha drink was mid though. Wouldnt get it again but Im eager to try all the other pretty drinks they have! ”
“ I fell in love with Vanillas matcha... so smooth, creamy, and comforting like a warm hug in a cup. And the chocolate from Dubai? Simply magical. Rich, exotic flavors that instantly transport you. The combination of both is a true treat for the senses. A beautiful little spot where coffee becomes an experience, and every bite feels like a short escape to Dubai. The perfect place to gift yourself a special moment and enjoy with your heart. ”
“ Great food, disappointing service! The sandwiches are delicious, croissants perfectly flaky, and the coffee and matcha are fantastic. But the cashiers dont know the menu, and theres an unexpected 18 service charge. With very little seating inside, its not the most comfortable spotbut the flavors might just make up for it! ”
