Vanilla

Vanilla Cafe is a hidden gem in Downtown Miami and quickly becoming one of my favorite spots! It’s a cozy and stylish café 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 in-house, 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 gluten-free and vegetarian options. The interior is super aesthetic and Instagram-worthy. The service is always warm and welcoming, which adds to the overall charm. Whether you’re 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!

We decided to check this place out based on other reviews when looking for vegan and gluten free options in the area. Their food looked appealing, as they weren't just the normal fare. It's a really cool vibe inside the restaurant and the staff is very friendly. It was really busy in the restaurant, so they must be popular with the locals. I decided to try a Vanilla Latte with Almond Milk and the Energy Bar that were both vegan and gluten free. My husband got a Matcha Latte with Almond Milk and the Avocado Toast. All of it was delicious, and my energy bar didn't have any added sugar as they use dates instead to sweeten it. Overall, a pretty good find. I was happy that they had at least one plant milk alternative and one gluten free vegan option, but if they had more options I would've given them 5 stars.
