Buena Vista Deli

For expatriates living abroad it must be difficult to avoid feeling homesick. That is why the small pockets of local foreign culture are always successful because they have that public that always goes back to them looking for that small piece of home. The locals of course benefit from the fact that they have pieces of foreign culture in their own backyards and perhaps even save them a trip abroad. For French foreigners living in Miami as well as for the local foodies that love French food and culture it is a pleasure and a blessing to have the Buena Vista Deli. Located in a humble but key corner of the north side of the design District the Buena Vista Deli is perhaps one of the most lesser-known but most important gourmet spots of Miami. The propieteurs and chefs are obviously French and are very friendly and always there to serve their customers. The menu is very ample with a great selection of sandwiches, paninis, quiches and salads. The patisserie is outstanding, you would have to spend thousands of dollars on a trip to Paris to get something closely similar. Their pates & rilletes are all locally made and very fresh. The place is as laid back as it gets, with an always hip local crowd who are mostly regulars. The staff are always friendly and happy to help. A must if you live in Miami and are craving a proper croissant, Gj more

This is a fantastic cafe! It's really a bakery, but they serve a wide variety of food (besides tons of homemade, delicious desserts). The cafe's quant, low-key charm keeps people coming back again and again. You can sit inside, or outside. It's a very casual, friendly atmosphere. There is free wi-fi and they serve wine.\r \r The food is very good. They have a fresh, homemade soup each day (I have tried several -- all good), and a lot of sandwichs and other menu items. They have everything from hot paninis to cold sandwiches on crossaints. They also serve a couple of different quiches and a FANTASTIC Spanish omelette (bursting with flavor). They have coffee, baskets of bread, fresh fruit and salads -- plenty on the menu to choose from. I'm a vegetarian and never have a problem eating here.\r \r The 2 guys who own the deli are very nice and are always walking around talking to the customers. The servers are super-friendly and a pleasure to be around! The prices are very reasonable - even on the low side. Compared to other places, I find the desserts to be very inexpensive.\r \r Try this local neighborhood place. If you don't want a meal, go in for a fresh loaf of bread or a great dessert. You won't be sorry! more

Hey, laptop junkie, I'm talking to you! With the fastest free WiFi around, a full menu for breakfast, lunch, & dinner, aromatic java, wine, and colorful French delicacies in the diner coolers, this is a spot for everytime. The outdoor sidewalk seating is romantic on sunny days, and the window seats are cozy enough to spend breakfast through lunch nibbling & working in! more

The food here might be amazing. But i wouldn't be able to afford it. They changed their prices but not their menu. I paid $12 for a fucking bagel. Be warned. RIP OFF more
