White Lion Cafe

"Our party of four adults showed up about an hour before closing time and had an amazing dinner! We had a few mixed drinks, a ribeye steak, a new York steak, a burger, and the pot roast; all our food was outstanding and the service was fast and attentive! We also shared a hot fudge brownie with ice cream for dessert! This was our last meal for the trip; we stayed a week just south of Miami and rode our motorcycles all over the Florida Keys, this meal at the White Lion Cafe was the best of the trip!"

"I recently had the pleasure of having lunch at the White Lion Cafe and could not have been more impressed. From the moment we walked in the door, it was clear that this was a special place. Not only does it allow pets, which is always appreciated, but the ambiance was lovely. The decor was tasteful and created a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. But what really stood out to me about this cafe was the food. It was absolutely delicious. Every bite was bursting with flavor and the presentation was impeccable. The food exceeded all my expectations, and the dessert was ultra delicious !!! The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive and helpful. Lulu & Zarina went out of their way to make sure my husband, Bruno and I had a memorable experience. Lastly, the location of this cafe is perfect. It is situated in a lovely neighborhood of Homestead, there are air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned facilities, the outdoor seating offers a beautiful view of the entire courtyard. All in all I highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and memorable local experience. Overall, the White Lion Cafe is definitely a hidden gem worth visiting in Homestead, Miami."

"Never knew this place existed. Cute establishment. Very friendly wait staff. Very laid back. Specials and dessert menus are written on one board, so you may have to wait a few minutes to see them and it took a while to order, get our meal and pay. We had 2 specials... the Rachel and the Ghost Burger. The burger was juicy but lacked real flavor, which was surprising for something with horseradish, onions, and peppers. The Rachel was good, but the bread was soggy, making it difficult to eat as a sandwich. The pasta salad was really good. For dessert, we had the blueberry cobbler and the brownie. Personally, I prefer my brownie to be dense. This one was very airy and cake like. The cobbler was good. Something else to note, we sat outside where 2 cats had free reign (laying and walking around, not jumping on tables). I happen to love cats, but if you dont, you might want to sit inside. They also do a 10% military discount."

"If you haven't had the pleasure of finding this hidden gem, then you've been missing out. I have loved this place and all their food options which are all home made and delicious for many years. They have live music on certain nights and their desserts are divine! Shout out to their coconut cream pie! (Coconut cake was not pictured because it was so good we forgot to take a picture of it before we enjoyed it!) Their portions are always generous and beautifully presented."

"Very unassuming wonderful restaurant, kind of off the beaten path. But once you arrive, there is plenty of parking you go in through the beautiful little door and find a romantic, casual, lovely indoor restaurant, with a huge attached, covered patio, all decorated beautifully. The menu is sophisticated and absolutely phenomenal. I had yellowfin tuna on a bed of angel hair pasta with the mushrooms and spinach husband had veal piccata. Each dish got a fed to people. The servings were very generous. The presentation was fantastic. We had a appetizer of calamari with marinara that was excellent. Well, the best parts was the fantastic staff. This is a professional train staff. They know what they’re doing. They’re so welcoming we have brought our little Scotty puppy. He was sitting at her feet. He had a water dish so fast they took fabulous care of us this was 20 minutes from the Everglades campground . The pictures don’t do it justice. They have an extensive dessert menu we were so full that we took a one piece of chocolate strawberry cake home with us."
