Front Porch Cafe

South Beach


An open-sided perch just above the madness of the cruising scene, the Porch has been serving excellent salads, sandwiches and the like since 1990 (eons by South Beach standards). Breakfast is justifiably popular; the challah French toast is delicious, as are fluffy omelets, eggs Benedict and strong coffees.
