Server was great & it was awesome to sit outside. My husband & I both had a coffee & he has a breakfast sandwich & I had the açaí bowl. The fruit was fresh but the açaí had chunks of ice in it. Unfortunately the price was very expensive as for all of that & one chocolate croissant it was over $60!!

Came for breakfast this morning. Sat outside which is nice with umbrellas. Sadly when bus drives by it's inches from you and loud. lol. Our server was very friendly. I had the Truffle Croque Madame. It was pretty good. Bread maybe could be been a little more toasty but over all great flavor. We also got the Nutella crepe with strawberries. Very rich but goooood! Sadly my iced tea spilled as the class was very slippery with condensation. Unfortunately our server didn't offer to get it refilled. Oh well. Good breakfast! A bit on the pricier side for breakfast but Miami in general seems a bit pricey.

This place is so clean and nice. The food is just as appealing as the decor. I appreciate them having a separate to-go and dine-in side. They have ample sidewalk seating but finding parking on the street upon arrival might be a bit tricky and will def cost money. I had the strawberry iced matcha latte and enjoyed it. It was a light, sweet taste. I also had the pistachio and cookie dough croissants. Both were great but I preferred the pistachio. It was in a cool circle shape with a generous amount of pistachio cream filling oozing out of every bite. The cookie croissant was good but I could've lived without the walnuts, they took away from the soft texture and taste to me. I would definitely go back and sit down to eat this time. The staff were pleasant and efficient.

So let me just say if you're in downtown Miami, you GOTTA hit this little bakery up. The "monkey bread" was The chocholate and nuts were just the right amount. The Crème Brûlée cube was OFF THE HOOK!! The cream inside was quite the surprise. We got coffee at the Starbucks next door and grabbed some treats and it was WELL WORTH it

Stopped in on a Friday after my flight during brunch time. Was seated immediately and greeted with friendly service which was consistent throughout! I had the croissant sandwich with avocado added. It was delicious as was my friend's Parisian omelette. I only took off a star because the drinks were watered down and could've been skipped. They have a small indoor seating area as well as outdoor seating. Our outdoor seating was nice and covered with umbrellas and we liked the view of the nice cars driving down the street. The only caveat is they were demolishing a building next door which was a bit of an eye sore.

Cafe Bastille continues to be one of my top brunch spots in Miami. It's been around for years, and even expanded nearby... a welcome addition. Today, I was able to walk in and get seated immediately, which is great because they don't take reservations for lunch. Prior to the expansion, you almost always had to wait. They had a DJ spinning which added a vibe, but sitting too close was a bit loud. I enjoyed the cappuccino in the past and today went with a latte. Unfortunately I ordered an americano too, which surprisingly was bad. I'm not sure the coffee was the same between the two. The avocado toast was tasty; however, the plate was pretty small which made it hard to cut and eat without a mess. A bigger plate would've been welcome. My sister got the French burrito which she enjoyed. I tried bit of the crepe crust and agree it was pretty good! I'd recommend and return!

This location is currently under renovation so we sat outside. It's still a really cute setup. We were seated as soon as we arrived. The service here is great. We started off with summer bellinis that were good. I had the french toast butes and potatoes both were really good. Service was great and I'd definitely come back when im in town.

So we dropped our luggage off after the cruise and were on the prowl for food. We came across this place and talk about stumbling on a gold mine. The food and service was amazing. We got the bottomless Bellini option and toasted to an awesome meal. I decided on the burger as I was not feeling breakfast food and it was delicious. The patty was flavorful and juicy and the fries were amazing. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food and sat there for a bit soaking up the Miami Vice. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.
