Tinta Y Cafe - Miami Shores

"Wow! Love the energy, decor, super friendly staff and community of this place. The food was the BEST cafe food I have ever had! No substitutions on their sandwiches had me feeling a way at first, but the server explained they are perfect as is and she was so right! We had the Game 7 and the Bori and everything was super fresh and delicious. The coffee and hot chocolate were sublime! This is my new home cafe!"

"As soon as I walked in I felt the good vibes! Service was great. Inside is cute, with books and decor. Reminds me of somewhere you would meet up with your friends, drink & eat and not realize where the time went, there is no wifi and I guess that is why. I also knew i absolutely needed to try some of their pasties. I decided on a chicken empanada and beef pastelito. Soo good! Both stuffed with the right amount of meat. Chicken was seasoned and not dry. My iced cafe con leche was superb. So picky with it but it was strong and also rich and sweet. I was pleasantly surprised. Side note: as I was there a man came in I guess asking people for money/food. He sat down and took out a couple of prescription medications talking about how he had just left Jackson hospital and has a severe heart failure. The manager was so polite asking him to please put away his medications and even offered this man some pastries. The man then decided to cause a scene by standing up and screaming in the middle of the restaurant that he had a heart failure and all he was being offered was pastries. How entitled must you feel to not only turn down the pastries but cause a scene about it. I felt bad bc the manager seemed uncomfortable for the customers but he did no wrong. And with all that being said the manager still showed kindness and asked the man if he needed any assistance with picking something else off the menu"

"My boyfriend and I were in a rush so didn't get the chance to dine in. We only got take out. We asked the host for sandwich recs and these recs did not disappoint. We got the caleña, madurita, callejero and a sachi mocha. We can see any of these sandwiches being our favorite - depending on the day. Tinta is a neighborhood gem - crowded with locals, in a harmonious way. We can't wait to come back and try the pastries."

"Tinta y Café, very good experience, quality, friendliness and a very cozy atmosphere to have a delicious coffee, something light to eat and share with friends. Very good service from all their employees, exquisite coffee made me remember those of Italy, Patria sandwich, very good!!!!!. Tinta y café is a quiet place with a cozy atmosphere, its employees are very helpful, they speak English and Spanish as well as explaining the menu and giving recommendations."

"Tinta y Cafe in Miami Shores is an absolute gem! I recently tried their sandwiches and croquetas, and it was a taste of perfection. Pair that with their rich and robust coffee, and you have a match made in foodie heaven. The warm atmosphere and friendly staff make this hidden gem even more special. As a local, I can't believe I hadn't discovered this location sooner. If you're in the area, don't miss the chance to try their authentic Cuban cuisine!"
