Bistro Cafe Miami Prices: What a Meal Really Costs

Bistro Cafe is not a cheap breakfast. Most plates on the dine-in menu cost between $21 and $29, and a full brunch for two with coffee, tax and tip usually lands somewhere between $65 and $90. The plates are large, though, and a lot of tables share, which changes the math.

This guide uses the cafe's dine-in prices, checked in October 2026, to show what things cost, where the value is, and how to keep the bill down. Prices change, so treat these as a guide and check the full menu for the latest.

What a Visit Costs

These examples add Florida's 6% state sales tax and Miami-Dade County's 1% surtax, for 7%, plus a 20% tip on the pre-tax total. Your bill may differ if the restaurant adds a service charge or a price has changed.

Solo brunch	Revuelto Clásico + latte	$29	about $37

Is It Worth It?

It depends on what you compare it with. A $25 omelette is expensive next to a cafecito and a pastry at a Cuban ventanita, but it's a full plate rather than a snack. Portions are large, which is why so many tables order one savory and one sweet dish and split both. Shared that way, two people typically spend about $31 to $44 each with a latte, tax and tip, based on the examples above.

Where the price is harder to justify is drinks. Coffee is $6 a latte and fresh juice is $9, so drinks can add a third to a light meal.

Dine-In vs. Delivery Prices

Delivery apps charge more than the dine-in menu. In October 2026, the cafe's Uber Eats listing showed, for example:

Dish	Dine-in	Uber Eats
Trifongo & Waffles	$35	$37
Grilled Cheese Pastrami Sandwich	$31	$33
Waffles de Dulce de Leche	$21	$22
Revuelto Clásico	$23	$23

That's before delivery fees. The listing also showed delivery as unavailable at the time it was checked, so availability changes. Calling the cafe and picking up is usually the cheapest way to eat at home.

Ways to Spend Less

• Share. One savory and one sweet plate between two people is the most common way to order here.
• Go croissant. The croissant section is the best value on the menu.
• Skip the specialty drinks or share one.
• Take half home. French toast and stuffed avocados hold up as leftovers better than eggs do.
• Avoid event parking. On Arsht matinee days, nearby lots switch to event rates. The getting there guide has cheaper options, including the free Metromover.
