Best Brunch in Miami

Find the best brunch restaurants in Miami, FL. Scored on what actually matters.

By DineSpin Team·Updated February 2026·10 spots

Miami brunch is a referendum on patience. Some places are worth the wait—real pancakes, actual hospitality, food that doesn't taste like it was designed by committee. Others are just loud, crowded, and expensive. What separates them is consistency and whether anyone actually cares about what lands on your plate.

2.

Jealous Fork

92/100

Pancakes that take 15–20 minutes because they're cooked to order, not held on a flat-top. Thick, custardy interiors, crisp edges, flavors that rotate with something close to art-school precision—brown butter sage, black garlic, combinations that work because someone tested them repeatedly. The co-owners are visible, the kitchen is open, everything is made in-house. You will wait an hour on weekends. The pancakes are worth it; the premium price ($15) stings less once you taste them.

Pro tip: Call ahead for a name on the list rather than walking in. Reduces friction without eliminating the wait, and the staff actually remembers who you are.

Empanada Harry's Bakery & Cafe

78/100

Empanada Harry's is a beloved local institution known for creative, flavorful Latin American empanadas and fresh baked goods with strong weekend traffic. However, quality consistency has slipped post-2021, service reliability varies by staff member, and pricing is high relative to portion size. Owner defensiveness in complaint responses is a concern.

Pro tip: Delicious empanadas but quality has declined and service inconsistent.

🍽️Food82

Empanadas are well-regarded as flavorful, fresh, and creative with solid execution. However, consistency issues have emerged—some diners report declining quality, hard/overcooked items, and cold food on pickup.

Delicious empanadas. Excellent customer service.

👋Service71

Reliable core team (Jenny, Mari, Michelle, Valeria noted by name) delivers warm, attentive service. But pattern of rude staff members and inconsistent experiences noted across multiple visits; newer diners report being ignored or rushed.

Nobody greets you or asks if you need help

Vibe82

Bohemian/Wynwood-inspired decor, cozy ambiance, well-decorated space. Corner location in shopping center can be hard to find. Limited seating noted. Generally feels welcoming, though recent comments suggest bustling, sometimes rushed atmosphere.

Decor is really unique in a lovely way

💰Value72

Pricing consistently flagged as high ($16–$40+ for small orders). Quality-to-cost ratio declining per repeat customers. Fresh ingredients and handmade items justify premium somewhat, but small portions and added fees (salsa now charged at 50¢) frustrate value-conscious diners.

$18 for express breakfast. Lower expectations by half

Ihop

78/100

This Miami IHOP excels in service delivery with standout staff creating a welcoming breakfast experience. Food is generally good but quality control has been uneven historically. Safety concerns from 3+ years ago and isolated recent lapses in execution prevent a higher overall score despite strong current service reputation.

Pro tip: Service staff are excellent, but kitchen consistency issues linger from past.

🍽️Food76

Food quality is generally good with consistent recognition for pancakes, omelets, and breakfast items. However, older reviews document instances of burnt bacon, cold food, and undercooked hash browns, suggesting intermittent kitchen execution problems.

Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared

👋Service85

Service is a major strength, with frequent mentions of outstanding staff performance. Named servers like Claudia, Yuri, Mario, and Yeinsi receive repeated recognition for attentiveness and warmth. Few negative service complaints in recent history.

Incredibly attentive throughout our visit

Spain Chak : Brunch Restaurant

92/100

A disco sandwich—ham, cheese, a fried egg, topped with a fried potato—shouldn't be called a burger, but when it's this good, terminology doesn't matter. Spain Chak is a small Spanish bakery doing brunch without irony: croquetas that crackle, tortilla española that tastes like someone's abuela is back in the kitchen, pastries that justify showing up at open. Staff moves with actual warmth, not the performative kind. It's small enough that it fills fast on weekends, which is the only real problem.

Pro tip: Hidden location means it stays quiet. Go off-hours or accept a 20-minute window on Saturday morning. Worth it.

The food is well-regarded for its deliciousness, freshness, and authentic Spanish flavors, with specific highlights including croquetas, Spanish tortillas, burgers, and coffee.
