Candela Y Cafe
507 N Miami Ave, Miami, FL
Crema's Take
“Candela Y Cafe brings authentic NYC and Dominican energy to Miami with genuinely stellar coffee and standout sandwiches like their legendary "El Monstro," plus fresh empanadas and rich traditional dishes like sancocho. The al fresco vibe is perfect for lingering over a slow sit, and Friday night live music adds to the vibrant deli-market-wine bar atmosphere that feels like a slice of home for anyone craving that East Coast edge. Just stick to their coffee and made-to-order food rather than their prepared lunch offerings, and you'll understand why regulars keep coming back.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Nice NYC/Dominican vibe. Deli, "marketa", restaurant wine bar. Good al fresco sitting. Live music Friday nights.

Amazing coffee and slamming sandwiches! You have to try “El Monstro”! One of the best tasting sandwiches I’ve ever had 🤤 The sancocho is delicious. The food in general is really good here and its generously portioned. The service is top notch and the selection is pretty…
