Cafe Cafe Waterways Shoppes

The place is cute and clean. The staff is nice. The coffee is average and a little overpriced. The tables are tiny so it’s not a good place to try to study or get work done. I had a latte and it was way too much syrup and milk, and not enough coffee (espresso).

Not overrated at ALL! Nutella chiller is a must try! Relatively slow service but worth it.

Great location… thats about it.
Not much else to say. Basic coffee and mediocre whatever. Captive audience in this Plaza… Nowhere else to go

Staff is friendly, coffee is tasty, pastries are tempting and my favorite thing here which is a weakness for me is the Nutella shake Delish and perfect on a hot day!!!

The chillers are amazing. Clean, quick service, always friendly. Never had a bad coffee from here, and reasonably priced for the size you get.

The best coffee drinks I’ve had anywhere. I have been going to Café Café since I was a little kid, and am a consistent customer, and before I left to college, I went every morning for my coffee or chiller. Super fresh and way better than any crap you get at Starbucks or anything. Whenever I am in town, this is the first place I go! The coffee, vanilla latte with a little nutella (special order), regular nutella, java chip, and espresso are my favorite chillers. Anything you order will be great though. It’s been the same owners and staff for as long as I can remember, and they know how to make your drink perfectly every time.

Love this place!!! Gotta try the nutella coffee chiller or the meringue flavor… DE-​LISH!

Café Café has the friendliest staff and the Nutella chiller WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Usually a line in the morning but we’ll worth it. The girls behind the counter are always sweet and know what they are doing.
The iced cappuccino is the best I have ever had in my life! The froth they have is so amazingly rich and they top it off with chocolate and cinnamon to perfection.
The mocha chiller is also one of my favorite drinks to get. I’d recommend getting the sugar free because it’s pretty sweet already.
I once had a cheese toast sandwich there, it was delicious. Felt like I was back home with my mom cutting off the crust.
Always consistent, always good!

Best iced cappuccino I’ve ever had by a wide margin. Everything we’ve ever had here has been amazing. My favorite, the iced cappuccino, starts with great espresso, never burnt, milk is added and pour over ice. It is then topped with this foam, I have no clue how they do it, it is perfect, firm sweet and Sooooo fluffy! Iced Latte, iced Mocha, cortado, no matter what you get you’re sure to leave happy.

Really like the sandwiches and variety of snacks. Those with negative reviews shouldn’t be going in expecting a Starbucks… very original and unassuming. Like it.

Café Café is such a cute little shop. The staff/​owner is always nice and polite. The coffe is better than starbucks and everything is kosher so, it is healthy for you. I like it.

It is so nice to see nice people people do well. Café Café is probably the smallest coffee/​restaurant in the Waterways, but packs people in the most.
I know the secret and it is something that only Starbucks figured out about 2 years ago when sales started to slide, spend more time on each order and make it perfect. When you order an Ice Coffee they have such a meticulous method for making it perfect for you. They also make the single best low fat chiller around.
It’s not just coffee, they have good sandwiches, croquettes, desserts… The tuna sandwich in particular is really good and large.
Many of the patrons are regulars, and it is one of the very reasons to go to the Waterways.
TIP: Take your drink to the Marina and enjoy a short stroll

Nice selection of hot and cold coffee’s. They have a range of snacks and food to munch on. If your in the area it’s worth a visit

Cute little place. Gets really busy during the evening hours. Very yummy chocolate muffins and chai latte.

Friendly little place, great for an afternoon frappé. Prepare to stand in line if you go in the evening hours, especially if there is entertainment in the mall, not quite sure where all these people come from, but the music is loud… too loud and makes it impossible to enjoy your coffee if you are even able to find a chair. They make a great toasted egg sandwich too! The entire plaza needs a good cleaning and less wild kids skateboarding, the security is useless in enforcing the no bikes, skateboards, skates rules. Great place to bring your pooch along and walk the marina, but watch out for the kids!

This café is in the hidden waterways shops in Aventura. It’s a small place and has mostly outdoor seating. The service is very very slow and seems to be personalized b/​c many locals spend a lot of time there. The coffee is pretty good and their tiramisu is excellent.

Very unimpressed with this café. Made the mistake of going inside thinking I could grab a quick coffee drink. «Quick» eventually turned into a 15 minute ordeal only to get handed a poor man’s version of a frappuccino, in which the only thing about it that resembled a frap was the price.

Café Café is a very unassuming little coffee shop with a limited menu of hot and cold coffees, mixed coffee drinks, sandwiches and salads, as well as the mandatory bottled water and soda. The location is in a strip center hidden away from traffic… but not the crowds of adoring followers! I, unfortunately perhaps, always order the exact same drink — Nutella Chiller. I am never disappointed! Last night I introduced P. to Café Café. She was extremely happy with her decaf Americano — «the best I’ve ever had!». One of my fav things to do is get my chiller, park myself outside at one of their umbrella tables and watch not only the world go by but watch all the people go by! It’s a perfect combination of coffee and heaven.

Café Café is located in the Waterways Shoppes in Aventura, which are a welcome escape from hectic Biscayne Boulevard or the sterile environs of Aventura’s massive mall. Café Café opens up on a nice, open air walkway with a central fountain surrounded by tables with umbrellas providing shade. Well removed from the parking lot, it is the ideal place to enjoy a bit of sun and a good iced Americano.
Against this backdrop, Café Café should have it made. They’d have four stars based on location alone. But the woman working the counter couldn’t get our order straight, and when she did get it right, she’d scalded the espresso, making it a bitter, bitter Americano. (M’s order was right from the get-​go, and therefore un-​rushed, but equally bitter and nasty.)
The choices for breakfast pastries minimal, mostly unhealthy, and simply not that tasty. My chocolate chip muffin had an odd sheen across the top of it, that I had attributed to the Saran Wrap (c)™ until I got it unwrapped. In my world it’s pretty hard to make sugar, butter, flour & chocolate chips taste anything but awesome but the baker they purchase from has mediocrity down to a science.
To make the experience even more unpleasant, there is a regular who sits at the table immediately by the front door of the café smoking a massive cigar while he holds court. I understand the need for a good dose of nicotine in the morning, but the attitude it takes to sit at the front door of a café with its doors open and blow smoke in every patrons’ face as they come and go is beyond me — and scores poorly against the establishment that enables it.
The best part about our experience here was seeing the guy with a LIVESTRONG wristband on smoking a cigarette. «Hey, but it looks good on you!»
