I have lived about a 2 minute walk from this place for years and barely ever noticed it was there. I finally decided to stop in today for lunch.... WOW!
For starters, they have a great menu that is simple but does what it sets out to do. The lentil soup was excellent and my chicken and quinoa bowl was perfect. You can taste the quality in the ingredients. The service was great as we never had more than a few minutes without being checked on.
Cant wait to make this spot a regular in my lunch routine! -

What a wonderful hidden gem of Coconut Grove! Tucked away next to Flannigans in the grove, I'm surprised I had never taken notice of this small cafe before. They are open only during the week with a simple lunch menu that also comes with their house made daily soup. The day my boyfriend and I ate there we were lucky to have their tomato soup. We both absolutely loved it especially since it tasted so fresh and homemade which is so rare with tomato soup.
Next for our entrees I went with what their house favorite is: the creamy mushroom chicken which was served with veggies. Wow oh wow. So simple, but well made----it was delicious and something I could see myself eating all the time if I lived in the area. My boyfriend ordered the curry meatballs which were not at all what we were expecting but just as delicious. I'm surprised to see a review complaining about them since we enjoyed the entree so much. The curry had a wonderful flavor (more of a middle eastern flavor vs. asian). We shared a kale salad per recommendation. I don't even usually like kale and this salad was AMAZING. The mint, peanuts, and asian inspired dressing pulls it all together as a refreshing side dish or meal. I would've loved to try it with their salmon!
Overall we loved our meal here and have told other friends that live in the area to definitely check them out since we both felt that their food was filling but so fresh/healthy that we didn't leave feeling overstuffed or bloated. Such a great meal at the right price. Look forward to trying more! -

Very well located in the heart of Coconut Grove, TOA Cafe is an excellent midday choice, with a delicious very well priced menu of lunch entrees between $9 and $15. The Asado Negro special (on Thursdays and sometimes on Fridays too) was delicious; with a home cooked flavor that rivals my mom's. Regularly overseen by its new owner, the place has a very good atmosphere and excellent service. I am sure that it will be a local lunch mainstay of Coconut Grove for many years to come.

This is my favorite lunch spot in the Grove: delicious home-made food at a very very fair price.
I love the chicken and mushroom, kale salad and the ahi tuna salad. Everything is fantastic! -

First time in Miami, so lucky my Air BnB is down the street, what a great find. Owner is great, food delicious and reasonable prices, they let me hang around with a coffee and use their wifi to get some afternoon work done. 5 stars!
