News Cafe
800 Ocean Dr, South Miami, FL
Crema's Take
“News Cafe is an iconic Ocean Drive institution that's been a beloved Miami Beach gathering spot for nearly three decades, drawing everyone from nostalgic locals to first-time visitors eager to soak in the scene. With its unbeatable people-watching perch and laid-back outdoor seating, it's the kind of place where you linger over breakfast and coffee while the energy of South Miami flows around you. Fair warning: while the ambiance and food genuinely deliver, coffee quality seems inconsistent here, so manage expectations if specialty espresso drinks are your priority.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.
