Tinta Y Cafe - Miami Shores

Tinta Y Cafe brings the flavors of a classic Cuban coffee house to Miami Shores, serving up a sandwich-focused menu alongside pastelitos, croquetas, empanadas, and expertly pulled cafe con leche. Since establishing this second location (the original opened in Coral Gables in 2005), the cafe has become a neighborhood staple for breakfast and lunch, drawing locals and visitors with its casual, cozy atmosphere and mid-century modern touches.

Guests can grab a table indoors or settle into outdoor seating, often with a dog by their side thanks to the pet-friendly patio. The menu ranges from Cuban classics like the Patria and Guajiro sandwiches to creative options like the Madurito with sweet plantain and the Tunabonito, plus a full lineup of coffee drinks from cortaditos to iced cafe con leche.

With affordable prices in the $10-20 range, quick service, and a laid-back neighborhood vibe, Tinta Y Cafe is an easy, satisfying stop for breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon coffee break in Miami Shores.
