Homey Cuban cafe & coffeehouse with a mellow vibe & local art, plus a walk-up window.

Cool cafe con un toque Latino (with a Latin touch). As a bilingual DJ in Miami, South Florida, Key Largo, Islamorada, and the Florida Keys, I appreciate the kind hospitality here (and the Latin twist lol) with a few exceptions.
Enjoyed the overall vibe but it was pretty crowded when I visited at lunch time, so wait times for a table and to get your order can be long. Another minus is that there’s no free wifi. It’s hard to comprehend why a cafe would not offer this, especially since it’s at a minimal investment since so many from the local businesses as well as other guests likely come here to work on their devices. They should definitely address this. Overall a pretty cool experience I’d recommend if you consider the above minuses. Parking can be difficult too. Didn’t order food so I cant comment on that, except to say it LOOKS good and I enjoyed the hip Latin twist of the menu.

This place totally deserves its Michelin recognition. We liked it so much we went twice during our stay in Miami. The coffee is exceptional (we had cortadito and cafe con leche). The soups were packed with flavor, the croquettes and empanadas were awesome, as were the sandwiches (the bread really makes it). I liked that cafe discourages phone use so that customers commune more. We met regulars at our table each time we went, à good sign. Wait staff was efficient and very courteous despite the place being packed. Score a cool t-shirt if you can!

Tinta y Cafe is my favorite sandwich shop in Miami, my favorites the TFC (crispy chicken breast), Bori (egg), and in my opinion one of the best burgers in town, la frita burger, which they only make on fridays.
Their dining area is not that large, so getting a table could be a 15 min wait minimum, and if in a rush you could always pre order or place an order at their walk-up ventanita and sit at the first come first serve outdoor terrace area.
In summary, just go, enjoy a great meal!

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Their cubano sandwich is called Patria but there’s another sandwich identical except on “media noche” bread and *chefs kiss* is it delicious. It’s called Noche Entera. The bread is just ever-so sweet, bright yellow and crispy and tender. Cubano elevated. Try it

Pleasantly surprised when I stumbled on this gem! Super glad I did. Wait wasn’t too long (it was a weekday though) sandwiches were great and we also enjoyed the croquettes. Favorite thing I hade was an iced mocha latte. Service was speedy but never felt rushed. Bookmarked for sure

Absolutely perfect breakfast sandwich. Really cool atmosphere. Great service and nice people. Just an all around great experience. If you’re visiting the area, this place is a must. Breakfast sammich with the media noche bread and strawberry jam was legit. Cafe con leche with regular milk and one sugar was perfect.

There couldn’t be a better place to try Cuban sandwiches! I had the chance to taste some of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had here. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and everything is prepared right in front of you, which really adds to both the flavor and the trust. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and full of energy, and the staff are welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do. Plus, the quality here is not just my opinion — the place was awarded by Michelin in 2022, 2023, and 2024, which speaks for itself. Eating here is not just a meal; it’s a real experience. I can’t wait to come back again!

Without a doubt, Tinta Y Cafe has some of the best sandwiches and coffee in all of Miami. If not the best, they are easily in the top three for sure. Their ham croquetas are made in-house and have a unique flavor unlike any others. The El Madurito sandwich was incredible. I’ve never tasted anything like it before. What an amazing sandwich! Whenever we’re in Miami, this place is now our go-to spot and a must-visit. There’s a reason they have earned and maintained a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and you can taste why with every bite. Simply amazing.

My fiancé and I recently went here, and we LOVED IT!!!
We thought the vibes were amazing and tbh the prices were pretty good too. We moved to Miami from LA about a year ago, and LA has a big cozy coffee shop culture where you can sit down and work for hours at a cafe.
We’ve been struggling to find places like that in Miami. And even though I don’t think you can pull hours of work at Tinta y Cafe, it definitely feels as cozy as the ones we used to go to in LA.
