| - My first Breakfast at Cafe` Miami was delicious.
After reading the other posters descriptions I had to try this local gem. A gem indeed. Larry, Owner / Cook, had a genuine greeting as soon as I cleared the screen door making me feel welcome and valued. I inquired if it was OK to park on the lot to the right of the building and he said I could have parked right out front, it doesn't get much better than that.
He immediately offered me a choice of seating and took my coffee and water order.
As i sat down I absorbed the decor which made me get up and walk around the room and inspect various posters, and artifacts. I even took a picture of a Dorothy Fuldheim portrait for those of you who know who she is. The fans created a very comfortable atmoshphere, even though it was only 78 degrees outside, and the decor and furniture take you back to a time not too long ago which is comforting and familiar on many levels. Clean, comfortable, and decorated in a variety of styles which peak curiosity and are entertaining and historical.
I forgot my servers name but she was highly efficient and never let my coffee cup run out, not easy to do. She was knowledgeable about the food and very attentive with me and the other guests who came in. The pancakes were awesome and huge, a must try! The eggs were cooked to order, sausage was good, and I declined the toast as it would have been too much food. I was too full to taste the hashbrowns even though they looked great, did not mean to insult but I'm not much of a hashbrown eater anyway.
They have 2, 4, and larger group seating arrangements as well as a counter which seats i believe 5.
The coffee was good but not outstanding, Larry, you may consider trying another brand or grind, when you review your suppliers. Sometimes the coffee alone can raise the experience level, although it's already pretty high. Just an honest recommendation in the only area of improvement I observed.
It was good to see the level of famiiarity they greet guests with indicating they are regulars and like coming back. I suspect I will be one of those guests.
Cafe` Miami is a value at twice the price. I am glad they are in our Great city and a part of our thriving neighborhood where they support the Cleveland experience.
Stop by and enjoy a great meal in a local establishment which makes you feel welcome! Try it, you'll like it.
