Las Olas Cafe

This may be my new go to for breakfast while I'm in South Beach. Everything we had there was delicious and fresh and the menu has something for everyone!!! I really loved the pork belly tortillas, could always get a delicious juice and we were excited to return each day. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants a delicious way to start their day.

Best Cuban sandwich and guava pastry. Cafe con leche to die for. Been here every day spotting more must eats. Don’t miss out. So good. Ventanitas have the best food.

This place is a great choice for breakfast. They have a diverse menu with plenty of options for both food and drinks, including a variety of freshly squeezed juices. The breakfast combo, with eggs, bacon, tasty potatoes, bread, and coffee, has a homemade feel and is highly enjoyable. The beef empanadas were particularly delicious. The service is quick, and all the staff members are very friendly, making it a pleasant dining experience.

This is one of my favorite places that serves up great Dominican and Puerto Rican dishes. Their Cuban is one of the best I’ve had on Miami Beach and the coffee just keeps you going… Can’t wait to come back

best restaurant we went to in miami beach! big portions, delicious food, quick service, and all affordable compared to other restaurants nearby. our only regret was that we didn't go here sooner, but when we did on our last day in miami beach, we went twice because it was so good. i highly recommend trying the medianoche and slow roasted pork

Come here for. a Cuban sandwich! Soo tasty and best to eat where the locals go. Yuca fries were crispy and delish too.

I only think of Las Olas on 3 occasions. BREAKFAST, LUNCH & DINNER!

1st of all, Las Olas gives huge portions at good prices.

They generally have a great staff, but I have found Genesis & Arianna to be outstanding.
It was their courtesy & kindness that moved this review from a 4 to a 5.

We stopped at this little place twice on our short South Beach vacation. Ordered from the window on side of building and ate outside. Excellent food and friendly service. We enjoyed the Cubano sandwich, ham and cheese empanada, chocolate croissant, fresh organic juice and cortadito. Highly recommend!

This was a nice space to get a great Cuban Sandwich! They had good coffee, delicious fresh squeezed juice, and the sandwich bread was perfectly crispy.

The Cuban sandwich with 2 croquetas inside was delicious! And the other dishes my group ordered had huge portions so we were happy

Best breakfast on Miami Beach! Plus they have tons of other options including authentic empanadas! The green salsa and coffee are AMAZING! We visited several times and will be back! Thank you ❤🫶

This is an amazing restaurant with real good service and nice people attending to, only issue is the mentally ill women who kept claiming they stole her bike, total NPC energy.

Busy, loud, and delicious! Stay off Ocean Drive and eat here!! There is outside seating for a few and some more seating inside. Staff are busy and work hard. Cubano and Croqueta were amazing, Colado’s even better!

This is my first time trying Cuban food, the staff are all so nice and friendly and patient - the place feels cozy, and the food is amazing!!!! Definitely recommend the Cortadito

At the first bite of this sandwich, my boyfriend and I were blown away. It had so much flavor. Definitely now our favorite spot in South Beach. We hope to visit again.

Must hit Cuban spot when in Miami. The food itself is reasonably priced, drinks were on the higher end. Must get is the Cuban sandwich.

Very large portions (includes nearly a loaf of bread lol), could possibly share and the price was super cheap for Miami! Only like $22 for 2 breakfasts :)) Great little quick spot to stop at. Lots of drink options too if wanted. Was busy so maybe that’s why it was a bit long to get our food. Has some spots to eat inside but not a lot.

Great Cuban sandwich. Not cheap. Smoothie less great.

So far one of my favorite places to grab lunch in South Beach. The daily special changes throughout the week. I got the combo and the portion is enough to feed 2 adults for a light meal. My wife got the Cubano and she said that it was amazing the sandwich was flavorful and bread was perfectly soft and crunchy.

I have been to many ethnic take-out food places and this was a surprising gem to find in Miami Beach. STAY AWAY if you are prone to diets, all food here is either High Carbs or High Carbs!

Regardless, The food is delicious! Typical of Latin food, all meals are typically slow cooked in various Spices and condiments. It is naturally Non-vegetarian since many vegetables are cooked on same grill as their meat products (as are All grills!- little known secret!). Is it Kosher-? Forgetaboutit!

They do a Huge amount of take-out business and claim to be available thru GRUBHUB. The menu is quite Long and extensive and even has PHOTO's on separate signs to entice you - look for them!

Menu items are in both English and Spanish, although the cashier's seem to speak SOME English you may need to pronounce your items in as close to Spanish as you can. It will bring a smile to their faces to see you try and will endear you to them.

Use the photos on GOOGLE to pick your choices - There are many photos of the colorful menus in the photos, besides my own.

CUBAN Sandwiches ("Cubano") are most popular item, but so are many of the fried Pork products. There are many items to choose from!

Full meals are typically around the $10 mark. Meal items are sold as 1 Protein + 2 sides (or something like that), with "Protein" being MEAT, PORK or CHICKEN. Sides are a delicious list of Latin favorites.

If you know Latin food from other countries, you will recognize many items but a few use "native people's" names. All the favorites are here: Plantains ("Platanos"), Fried Sweet Plantains ("Maduros"), White or Yellow Rice ("Arroz" - "Blanco" or "Amarillo"), Tostone (Fried slice of Green Plantain - looks like a Large cookie) and French Fries ("papitas fritas").

Specials vary by day but they seem to be the normal items but check for yourself!

All are delicious! Mine was! I ordered Chicharon w Plantain slice = Pork Belly slices +Plantain slice, my wife ordered a Cuban sandwich ("Cubano"). It is all worth the trip and despite appearances it is all affordable, even for a family of 4.

In a window display are a bunch of hand-holdable fried foods. Ask about the fillings. These items are only about $3, and really good if you are in a hurry to grab something quick to eat as you walk, or want something for that child that likes to touch their food.
