History

Established in 2001.

Taste Bakery Café first opened its doors in 2001 by the now famous John Kunkel (who is the founder and CEO of the successful Lime Fresh Mexican Grill restaurant chain). The hip and trendy café took South Beach by storm as patrons loved the sidewalk café feel and healthy, fresh homemade food. Even after John moved onto other business endeavors in 2004, we have remained loyal to our roots: High quality ingredients and fresh food is the key to amazing tasting food! Over the years we have grown and perfected our menu by adding delicious new dishes but our goal has remained the same: To provide an unforgettable fresh dining experience which is unmatched in South Beach and Miami.

I loved this little bakery. We each had a smoothie: coffee and island paradise. Both were delicious. We also split a sugar free blueberry muffin. I love that this was an option, and the taste was perfect. They had many options of sugar free, gluten free, and regular baked goods as well as salads and sandwiches (which I didn’t try). They also have outdoor seating available.

Great local place for fast heathy food. Owners usually present and very customer service focused. Food is fresh, made to order and consistent. Nice neighborhood feel with inside and outside seating. You can phone ahead to have orders ready or order off lengthy menu of breakfast or lunch salads. Smoothies are great too!

Fresh, delicious, quick food. I had the Ultimate Salad which came with a generous amount of sliced turkey (deli style), dried cranberries, cheese, avocado and toast. I also had a smoothie that I watched them make from scratch. Great, super casual spot

I had a toasted chocolate croissant toasted and a chai latte. I asked for the croissant toasted and it came out a little burnt, but my latte was awesome. There’s a nice outdoor area. The service was friendly and fast.
Great wifi. Overall a nice place.

Love taste! Everything comes out fresh, great treats, juices, and soups. Also everyone is pretty nice which is great too. I recommend their curry soup if they have it out.
Also if I remember correctly they serve breakfast all day?

Fast casual which is what Miami loves (or very high end). Good variety of wraps, salads, panini etc. Leon had a panini which looked large and was reported to be good. Comes with a side (potato salad looked fresh and homemade). Did have good flavor. Had the «ultimate“‘salad which wasn’t but it was fine. Turkey was deli meat and salty. No healthy dressing options but the greens were a fresh mesclun mix. Good amount of avocado. Comes with a side of bread, but come on, who eats bread (lol). Whole foods, of which I am not a fan of in general, has a very good lunch selection, probably try that tomorrow.
Outdoor seating on Alton road makes for good entertainment.

Healthy quick option. Great breakfast wraps and homemade protein muffins. One of the few places that opens early and offers delivery service. My favorite is the sombrero breakfast wrap with bacon, no black bean.

Finally decided to check out this place and I must say it was worth it! Nice environment and super friendly staff! They have great smoothies, a huge selection of sandwiches and a bakery! Perfect place to start your day with a delicious breakfast or just to grab a quick and healthy bite. Prices are ok considering it’s located in south beach.

My chicken sandwich here was real solid. Moist, flavorful, and on fine bread. It’s not mindblowingly interesting but it is good.

Well, I don’t know about food, but smoothies are blunt, tasteless, watery. they basically put 80%ice and 20% of fruit. i guess, food might be better.

This place is always been one of my favorite breakfast café’s. I’m pretty sure they serve breakfast all day have a vast variety of sandwiches, wraps, smoothies, baked goods and much more!

Never, ever order an iced coffee drink from this place. They either tell you to pour hot coffee over ice yourself, or make you a hot latte with WAY too much milk, and then pour the warm milk over ice. Disgusting! And to boot, they’re never very friendly. The counter girl started arguing when we complained about our warm «iced» milks. Not returning after several disappointing trips.

My husband and I were looking for a place to eat brunch before heading to the beach and found this place on Unilocal so we decided to try it. Cute little café on the corner of Alton Rd. and 9th street. It offers a pretty good assortment of fresh pastries, muffins and «Misha Cupcakes» need I say more. The best part is that they also have a pretty good selection of breakfast wraps, sandwiches, paninis and salads, before I forget they also have a fresh juice bar that offer super yummy juices. The service was friendly, fast and on budget.
Ok so here is what we ordered, my husband had the Cali Energizer Wrap which comes with scrambled eggs, tomatoe, avocado, turkey and cheddar cheese on a grilled whole wheat wrap. The portion was pretty big for a $ 7if you ask me. But if I must be honest he was not a fan of the wrap he said he would’ve preferred it with out the egg. He ended up eating half of it and throwing the other half away. With that said I ordered the the Energizer Wrap which comes with tomatoe, mushrooms, spinach, black olives, turkey, scrambled eggs, mozzarella cheese in a grilled whole wheat wrap and a side of salsa. I must say my wrap was great very tasty, fresh and with that salsa oh so yummy, for again only $ 7. To sweeten up our life we shared a red velvet Misha Cupcake omg so goooddd! We will come back again and my husband is willing to try something different he is willing to give this place one more try so it wasn’t all bad. Just had to be honest.

I wanted to go for dinner last night. I walked so long in the sun, with lots of appetite for a lunch combo and I got there at 7pm and the place was all shut down. No lights or any sign of opened. I don’t understand why if it says they close at 9pm and they open on Sundays. I left pretty hungry and dissappointed

I had the Orange Blush from the fresh juice bar. It was delicious. This a very relaxing, non touristy spot to chill in Miami.

Get the pistachio muffin. Don’t question me, just do it. You’re welcome. Coffee here is the real deal.

The food is good but this place is SO disorganized. The ordering process was very confusing, the staff seemed massively confused about all the orders and I had to wait over 20 minutes for one to-​go wrap. Other customers seemed really annoyed too, I basically wouldn’t go here unless you have a lot of patience and time to kill.

Not sure what all the hype is about but the place is small and full of cops, which was surprising since they don’t sell donuts.

This place saved my life today! I just ordered the sombrero sandwich and had it delivered. It came fast, and the sandwich was delicious. I’m so happy with it. This place is super cute and it has a wide variety of healthy fresh food for breakfast and lunch. Great for salads, smoothies, and breakfast! And coffee. Love it!

Soon after my friends and I arrived to Miami and checked in to our hotel, we stopped by this establishment for breakfast after searching Unilocal and reading the reviews on this place. We were really hungry and were looking for a restaurant nearby. It is a decent-​sized café located on a street corner with both indoor and outdoor seating.
They have a lot of delicious looking baked goods in their window display and an array of breakfast sandwiches, drinks and protein breakfast items on the menu. The workers were very friendly and helpful. One of them recommended the Mediterranean egg white breakfast sandwich, so I ordered it in addition to a chocolate croissant.
The food came out fresh and hot and it was absolutely delicious! The sandwich was bigger than I expected. For $ 6.99, it was a good deal. Much better than the overpriced mini breakfast sandwiches you get at Starbucks. Everyone in my group had no complaints and all loved the taste and quality of their food.
I returned to this place today to try their lunch menu, and again, they did not disappoint! My husband ordered the chicken avocado club panini and I got the buffalo chicken panini. I also ordered an iced chai latte, which was also really good. It had the perfect blend of flavors without being too sweet.
If I had it my way, I would’ve eaten breakfast or lunch at this restaurant each day during my trip because there were so many other items I wanted to try. Sadly, I am leaving Miami tomorrow. If only my flight wasn’t so early, I would grab breakfast here to-​go!

I ordered breakfast from here every day of my vacation via Seamless. Expect to wait the full 50 – 60 minutes but the food comes hot! My fave was the commuter croissant and their coffee is pretty solid too. They’re sweet delivery guys and they came up to the 4th floor of my hotel so kudos for that!

I’m gonna give them 5 stars because they are awesome and the food always taste good. However the acai bowl needs work. Acai bowl is not a smoothie. The consistency should be like almost a gelato and it wasn’t the last 2 times I ordered it.

When it comes to personal taste, it looks like I am swimming against the tide. I am a fan of the Jefferson location. Alton? Eh, I’ll make the trek to Jefferson.
To no one’s surprise, the product is the same. Consistency’s a good thing and Taste is able to make sure that the eating experience at both locations will be the same or, at least, similar. On a lazy Saturday, I ordered a salad/​sandwich combo (Santa Fe and Turkey Panini) and smooth (Ocean Acai). As I pondered my selection, I was surprised to see that I favored the selection at this location. I don’t know if Jefferson is busier and has less to offer or if Alton is where the priority’s at but I noticed many bagel, cookie and other choices I don’t recall seeing at the Jefferson location.
So, Johnny T, things sound pretty good. 3 stars? Service. I don’t know what the issue was. I am not a regular here. There was more than 3 people in the space. I dunno. What I do know is that I was ignored, I had to go to three different people to get waited on, the order and pick-​up process was, generally, a bit chaotic, and I didn’t feel valued as a customer. In fact, for my salad and sandwich order, I was only given my sandwich. The order was given to me in a bag as though the to-​go order was ready. When I went back up to the counter to ask about it, I received a loud sigh in response. It wasn’t until the owner looked up, saw me and addressed me that, all of a sudden, I received my salad with a smile and a ‘come again.‘
I don’t see that happening. Maybe it’s the fact that the Jefferson location is brighter. Maybe it’s the fact that I go there frequently enough to be recognized. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s bigger and easier to navigate. I don’t know. What I do know is that after expecting a regular Taste experience, I was left with a bitter one. The food’s just fine but I’ll be having it off Lincoln.
