  Happened to be shopping around brickell city center and wanted a quick lunch so decided to stop by.
  
  Cute little cafe with option of table service or ordering and seating yourself if you prefer .
  
  I ordered the avocado salad (around $12) which came with mixed greens and tomatoes . The salad is enough for 2 people , I could not finish it by myself and they give you A LOT of avocado which I LOVE! I Decided to add grilled salmon to my salad and the salmon was seasoned really good & was super tasty with the salad!
  
  The dressing was a bit salty- I'm not sure if it was just that day , but if you want to be safe just ask for It on the side instead .
  
  Overall this is a good spot to get a quick bite that isn't expensive , gives you big portions & is very tasty!

  I've never actually went into a restaurant before and not been greeted.  Until this place.  I walk in and 4 employees are basically huddled around each other to the far right of a counter area when you walk in.  I'm standing in the entry way with my daughter where there should be a please wait to be seated sign or something. The employees disperse and then briskly walk all around me to try to get to their tables that they've no doubt been neglecting this entire time.  Also it wasn't busy. It was 2:30 pm after the lunch hour. I won't be back here. As I finish this up I realize the employees are watching Fast and Furious on the tv. The good angle is to the right of the counter. No name tags no accountability. Not a manager in sight. This place is a three-ring circus and I am not entertained or amused.

  Just plain bad service ...there's not much more to elaborate other than to say the management is clueless when it comes to hiring or simple business management

  Overpriced garbage. I ordered a spinach and cheese empanada that was smaller than the palm of my hand and cost $5.35. Unfortunately, they don't list the prices of all menu items so I didn't know it was that much before I ordered it. The service isn't much better. The two ladies at the counter seemed way more interested in continuing their conversation than taking my order. Skip this place during your visit to BCC. There are much better options nearby.

  Worst of the worst! The guy in front, I don't know if he's the head waiter or supervisor told me to just sit wherever i want. He's been passing right behind me knowing that i have been sitting for like 20mins and nobody even approached me. After 20mins this lady approached me. Ok she took mo order and apologized. Right when i asked for the bill, i gave them cash and she didn't even gave back my change. Worst experience. I'm not going back here ever again!!!!
