This is by far one of the best places to go have some clean European style brunch food in South Miami. The eggs are always fluffy. The croissants are buttery and crunchy. The fruit is crisp not bruised. The hand squeezed orange juice is delightful and the coffees are Parisian style and hits the we up spot. Always on that “we should go here” List when we go back home to Miami.

Fantastic experience at Cecile’s Bakery Caffè! Excellent service, delicious eggs Benedict croissant, and the avocado BLT was unbelievable. Perfect matcha tea, good prices, and a very clean place. Highly recommend! ☕ ✨

A fancier atmosphere than we’re used to, but a great choice for our special breakfast on vacation. My Croffle (waffle croissant) was THE BEST breakfast food I’ve ever eaten. Prices were fare, service was excellent, and meal was delish!

Last Saturday I visited Cecile Bakery for the first time. I ordered a coffee and a bag of chocolate chip cookies which were both good. However, customers with nut allergies like me would appreciate if you make it clearer in the bag that the cookies contain nuts as I only realized when I was home. In addition, I ordered a tiramisu that was rancid, the cream tasted complete sour. I didn’t complain at the time because I was with a friend but the admin should make sure that the deserts do not spend much time on the display case. Spending almost $9 for a desert that is not fresh is absurd.

We chose Cecile Bakery + Cafe for my wife’s birthday breakfast because we had previously enjoyed positive experiences here. Unfortunately, this visit was deeply disappointing and will be our last.
Service throughout the meal was slow and inattentive. I ordered the chilaquiles, which were served cold. Water refills were largely ignored until requested, and used plates remained on the table for an extended period despite being stacked to indicate they were ready to be cleared. While frustrating, these issues alone would not have warranted a one-star review.
The experience deteriorated significantly at the time of payment. When I requested the bill, the waiter verbally stated the total was $345.99 and explicitly told me that gratuity was not included. Based on that representation, I left a 25% tip. Upon reviewing the receipt afterward, I discovered a 20% service charge had already been added, resulting in a total gratuity of approximately 45%.
When I raised this issue, the waiter advised instead of reversing the tip, he proposed refunding the cost of the breakfast platters so that he could personally retain the tip. This solution was both unethical and alarming. Rather than correcting an overcharge to the guest, the waiter was willing to divert revenue away from the restaurant—revenue that supports operations, payroll, and overhead—in order to place that same amount into his own pocket under the guise of gratuity. As a business owner myself, I find this behavior entirely unacceptable and damaging to the establishment.
I requested to speak with the manager, who appeared indifferent and offered no meaningful resolution. When I asked for the owner’s contact information, I was only given the name Veronica, with no additional way to reach her.
Cecile Bakery + Cafe must clearly disclose service charges and ensure staff act with honesty and integrity. Guests should never be placed in a position where they are misled at checkout, nor should employees be empowered to sacrifice the restaurant’s revenue to protect their own compensation.
I hope this review reaches the owner so she is aware of what is occurring in her absence. I will not be returning, nor will I recommend this establishment to others.

It was a nice place, some of the sweets were better than others but overall good

I loved our experience here! The food selections were so interesting and delicious. My mother in law had the croffle – a cross between croissant and waffle and it was delightful. It wasn’t too sweet with a hint of savory to it. I ordered the chilaquiles and it was also very tasty. I had forgotten to ask for my egg to be cooked well done and the server was kind enough to replace it for me. It’s those little things that I appreciate in food service. I absolutely loved it here and I can’t wait to come back.

We’re returning customers at Cecile’s Bakery, and it never disappoints! The food is always amazing and fresh. Jordan and Alex were once again super friendly, punctual, and made the experience even better. The ambience is chill, relaxing, and effortlessly chic — the perfect vibe. And did we mention the delectable pastries! So glad to have this gem in town!
