    It is one of my favourite places in Miami! This cafe is very atmospheric and cozy. I liked coffee so much here, especially Tres Leches Coffee. It is like a dessert. The cafe inside is superior. There are a lot of small details, pictures, cupboard with cute cups and saucers, coffee makers. You can also taste delicious desserts here as well and buy their coffee. I recommend to buy medium roast coffee, it is very fragrant and delicious.

    Amazing Cuban coffee with an inviting and cultural ambiance. The coffee is excellent. The empanadas and guava pastries are delicious. The employees are very helpful and make sure you’re accommodated. We definitely will be back!

    Absolutely loved it! The coffee was so different and morning like I've had before (I've never had Cuban coffee before so that checks out). Definitely recommend the Capablanca (I did end up staying up till 3am after that though). If you have a sweet tooth and don't mind treating that aspect of you then try the tres leches. Added bonus are the cute little souvenirs placed all over the store.

    Maybe the best Cuban Coffee in all of Miami and that’s saying a lot! Place is beautiful with a great Cuban vibe.

    I’ve been to Calle Ocho several times but had never visited this particular coffee shop before. I first learned about La Colada from watching John Leguizamo’s TV series, Leguizamo Does America. When I heard their story and saw all the different coffees they offered I thought “I have to go there!” Their coffees are so good!! If you love coffee like I do, you will love it too. I’ve already been here twice and I definitely plan on coming every time I’m in Miami.

    Finally a place in this town with good customer service. Super friendly staff. Coffee was amazing and while I know that’s just a vanilla wafer, it tasted so much better dipped in coffee. Great little shop inside with various tidbits. Highly recommend. Will come here again before we head out.

    Very unique coffee blend - strong, and flavourful. I tried Capablanca as per the barista recommendation. Loved it!

    This was one of our final stops during a recent vacation, and I’m so glad we saved the best for last! We happened to be walking by, and we could smell the coffee beans from the street. It looked super inviting inside, and the atmosphere did not disappoint! Our server (whose name I have sadly forgotten) was extremely kind and helpful in making us feel welcome and provided a great suggestion that we all loved! I highly recommend you stop here for high quality coffee and service!

    This is excellent coffee, very close to traditional coffee style (not mixed American style). I finally found the taste that I wanna looking for. The store is designed very cute and not too much, looking like a coffee store in Cuba. Friendly service, having good acknowledgment about the question of coffees. Good location. Everything is perfect with us. Try it if you want to try the traditional coffee style. It will be different.

    We stopped in while visiting Little Havana from our of town. We were exceptionally pleased with our visit. The ambience of the place with it's homage to Cuba is fantastic. The Cuban latte and the cappuccino were absolutely delicious, and the Patriots we had were very good. The service was prompt, friendly, and accommodating. If we lived in the area we would be here a lot!

    From the dozens of different coffee shops to choose from, this could be one of your better bets. Coffee was bold, not too strong and tasty. Served the right way in the right dishware (special glass coffee mugs to keep coffee hot) If you’re into dessert, the tres leches (three milks, cake that has been marinated overnight in three different types of milk!) is a must try.. so so good! Not too sweet, fluffy, and light! Ah!

    If you want a strong, rich and good flavored coffee this is the place to go! From the moment you walk into the shop you can smell the coffee beans. The shop is small but it’s cozy and they have a cool decor. It’s a must stop whenever I visit Miami! The tres leches cafe is my absolute favorite but I’d recommend it getting it hot. Huge thanks to Marla for being so kind and helpful!

    The coffee here was some of the best I’ve ever had. It’s surprising. I’ve traveled all through Central America and Colombia so the astonishment comes from finding good coffee in the US. I technically didn’t try an americano or an expresso, but I think the quality is still identifiable in the Tres Leches Cafe con Leche. I’ll be back one day to try all the menu options to give a more thorough assessment. Also the service was amazing! The ladies who helped us find something we would like were so nice! A little old man came in to sell $1 Cuban peanuts while we were there it made the whole place feel more authentic.

    This place is a viiiiiibbbeeee. It has a great atmosphere with music playing. Our server was so kind and helpful. They have 25 options for coffee beverages, with or without alcohol but with a coffee focus. I had a colada and it was very strong espresso with sugar in it. Very delicious. It's definitely a drink to be sipped. I would definitely come back and recommend visiting if you're in Miami and love coffee.

    Late Saturday morning, busy with locals and tourists who don't know what to order alike but the staff was still exceptionally friendly, welcoming, helpful, attentive and patient... oh and did I mention how great the Cuban coffee is? It's the best roaster in Little Havana, you must not miss their coffee if you visit Miami, the photo tells the story better than I ever could. .

  • 4/5 Harps S. 9 months ago on Google
    Great Cuban coffee, ground at the premises and the heart of Little Havana. Close to other local hotspots in this area of Miami, if you like your coffee so try this place for a shot. Worth a visit, plenty of seats and brilliant friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Carlos A Herrera R. 2 years ago on Google
    La Colada Gourmet is hands down the BEST place to get your coffee. They have everything to make your experience an unforgettable one. From the Cuban charm and charisma, to the energy of the crew (shout out to Nacho!) and the passion driving the owner, Ernesto. You can feel all of it on every cup of coffee. We ordered the Cafe Bombon and the Cafe Tres Leches and wow! We were blown away. I immediately ordered another one before even finishing the first and came back the next day to have another chat with the team and of course the perfect cup of coffee.

    Visited for the famous name in a famous area. The location has nice aesthetics, however, the drinks left lots to desire and at a very hefty price. It was pretty packed and had a good amount of seating for the small footprint of the cafe, even though it did make it seem crammed. Staff weren't the warmest. Would rather try another spot in the area

    Don’t miss this great Cuban coffee shop in little Havana! Definitely love the rich and strong flavors they recommend. There are so many different options, definitely need to visit more times to try them out 🤩

  • 5/5 Clementina G. 10 months ago on Google
    Omg! The aroma of coffee is irresistible! Walk in and seat yourself at an available table. A server will go up to you and take your order. You can also order at the counter if you'd like instead. The coffee was wonderful! The server was so sweet. The place itself inside is really cute! I recommend taking a break in here to enjoy coffee and a pastry or sandwich.

  • 5/5 Nyrie C. 1 year ago on Google
    Love, love, love!! This was one of my first stops in Miami. I don't remember the barista's name but she was SO sweet. She came up to me and my parents and asked each of us how we like our coffee (light or strong, sweet or not) and made each of us what we wanted to our liking. Highly recommend this spot!

    My favorite place for dessert, tres leches cake is delicious and they have very good coffee.

  • 5/5 Gina N. 2 years ago on Google
    The BEST coffee I have ever had in my life. And the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Got the cortadito and the coconut flan which are two of the most popular items, HIGHLY recommend!!
