Las Olas Cafe

Las Olas Cafe, on the corner of Sixth Street, has the rhythm of a neighbourhood Cuban café: coffee, all-day breakfast, juices, empanadas and sandwiches served without ceremony. The official menu centres on Latin flavours and familiar plates, with the Cuban sandwich a regular order. It is an easy stop for a cortadito before the beach or a meal without sitting down at an Ocean Drive restaurant.

Comments praise warm bread, café con leche, empanadas and quick service; other visitors say queues form in the morning and finding parking can take time. The space is small, and the service feels more like a café stop than a place for a long meal. Check your order and ask what sides include before adding extras; sandwiches can be shared if your group wants to try more than one flavour.

The café is at 644 Sixth Street, Miami Beach, FL 33139; call (305) 534-9333. Published hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and until 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. It is near South of Fifth and within walking distance of the southern end of Ocean Drive. For visitors staying nearby, it is a practical breakfast or lunch stop; if you drive, comments identify parking as the main inconvenience.
