Smartbean Coffee House - Hialeah

To my surprise, I noticed them mixing regular milk with the heavy cream. When I asked about it, they explained they couldn’t just use heavy cream. I then suggested using half and half since regular milk has too much sugar for my dietary needs, but they didn’t have any (which is surprising for a coffee shop). Ultimately, I had to settle for almond milk, which was frustrating. The sugar in the regular milk could have disrupted my ketosis, and I was unhappy about being charged for something that was going to be diluted. Overall, this experience left me feeling very upset.

This is the best coffee shop in Miami, I promise! The owner is fantastic and provides outstanding customer service. The coffee and food are both 10/10. You won't be disappointed—I’m definitely going to be a regular from now on!

If you're in search of more than just coffee art, this charming and cozy café is a must-visit! The atmosphere is incredibly inviting and soothing. My Frenchie, Milou, even made a charming appearance in my coffee, creating a memory I'll always treasure. We tried the avocado toast and chicken sandwich, both of which were absolutely delicious! I also highly recommend their special deal of two buttery croissants for $10 — they're simply irresistible. I will definitely be returning for more!

The restaurant has a significant plastic problem, which is surprising given its proximity to the ocean. It's worth considering the amount of plastic pollution in the city's canals. I found the staff to be unhelpful as they asked for a tip despite providing no service. Additionally, the bathrooms were in poor condition. I think it would be better to choose more environmentally friendly options for utensils rather than opting for cheap alternatives.

I truly enjoyed the coffee here. Unlike the typical burnt and acidic flavors found in many Miami brews, their beans offer a much smoother taste. You can genuinely savor the roast as well as the unique qualities imparted by the soil and altitude where the beans were grown. A special shoutout to Dani, who I believe is the owner. When I asked if he had lavender to add to the White Chocolate Mocha, he promptly ordered some. I tried his Lavender White Chocolate Mocha both iced and hot, and they were absolutely outstanding. The latte had a nice foam cap, and there was enough milk to ensure the foam was a perfect complement rather than the only source of creaminess. The atmosphere is also great for studying. I would definitely give this place a 5/5 stars!
