A Hidden Gem in Downtown Miami with Incredible Service and Delectable Food
I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Fiore Café, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made me feel at home, thanks in no small part to my server, MaFe, who provided truly exceptional service. She was incredibly sweet and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure that I felt comfortable and well cared for throughout my visit.
I decided to try the pesto crispy chicken sandwich, and I’m so glad I did. The crunchy ciabatta bread was the perfect base, and the fresh, juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and vibrant pesto combined to create a symphony of flavors with each bite. It was the kind of sandwich that makes you stop and savor every moment. The surprise accompaniment of tri-color potato hash was a delightful bonus. The fingerling potatoes, which I absolutely adore, were spicy, warm, and perfectly crisp, offering a fantastic contrast to the sandwich.
On a whim, I also ordered a pistachio latte, and I am still thinking about it! I had never thought to add pistachio cream to my coffee, but now I’m not sure I can live without it. The latte was smooth, creamy, and had just the right amount of sweetness, with the nutty pistachio flavor elevating it to a whole new level. Not only was it delicious, but it also arrived looking so picturesque that I had to pause and admire it before diving in. It was one of those moments where the food was almost too beautiful to eat—but when I did, it exceeded every expectation.
Fiore Café is truly a treasure in downtown Miami. Whether you’re looking for a quick coffee, a delightful treat, or a beautiful breakfast, this is the spot. The food is not only visually stunning but also bursting with flavor, and the staff will pamper you with kindness and care. I can’t recommend it highly enough, and I’m already looking forward to...
Read moreIf you’re looking for a local feel for a filling breakfast, look no further than Fiore Caffe Miami. We were surprised to how small the space was, but all the credit to the staff - the line moves quickly. The space is unimpressive, but ownership did an excellent job at making the decor and vibe feel niche and select. I went with a Bloody Mary and the scratch made chicken and waffles. The BM was not over the top with a sink full of garnishes and was a perfect mixture of vodka and tomato juice mix. The chicken was well breaded, seasoned, and cooked. The waffle was perfect and although a little cold, the piping hot syrup helped bring the warmth back to the dish. I was very full at the end as the portions were generous. Others at the table ordered pistachio and blueberry pancakes - with both dishes pouring over with toppings. They were visually satisfying and, as I gathered, very delicious. I think pricing was on par with most locations of similar offerings.
One thing I don’t appreciate about Miami in general is the “Service Tax” of 3% and most locations put on a 18% auto-gratuity. I understand that a lot of people don’t appreciate or understand tipping, but I find that wait staff who already knows they will be getting paid a set amount focuses more on increasing your bill with suggestive selling than offering excellent customer service. My experience did have both but there was little transparency in what the total was and what my extra costs were at closing.
Additional solid information - location is right next to parking garage. Very simple in and out.
Overall - a good experience and I would...
Read moreOur family of three recently stopped by on Labor Day (arrived at 10sh).
5 stars - Promptly Seated - there was a minor wait for indoor seating. The host was kind to offer us seating outside and offered menus. We were seated less than 5 minutes upon arrival. We are locals running errands in the Miami Downtown area.
5 Stars - Parking is validated! Garage entrance is right next to business location. In addition to stairs, there are two small elevators (max 2-3 people). Good thing because on-street parking in downtown is a headache.
5 stars - Excellent Service for kids/family. Our server was friendly and bilingual. She grabbed a high chair for our little one. She took our orders promptly and regularly checked on us; offered beverages/refills and asked whether meal was up to par. *If you need a stroller, you may need a foldup or leave outside.
5 stars - Food was delicious and served promptly. Timeliness is a big deal dining with kids under-6. We ordered an omelet (add-ons were a $2 per vegetable, $8 for chorizon); Oreo pancakes, side of taters, side of bacon, and an iced Nutella Latte.
Some reviewers noted they felt rushed. To that I'd say this is a quaint, small spot - not meant for stragglers. There was a variety of groups, ranging from singles to parties of 8. I saw them be very...
