San Ginés USA | Churros & Brunch

Madrid's 1894 chocolatería on Collins Avenue, serving churros with thick hot chocolate, coffee and Spanish brunch.

Vérifié octobre 2026

Go for churros and thick chocolate any time from 7 am, or a Spanish tortilla brunch. The trade-off: it's a sweet, $$ South Beach café, and a full plate of churros can crowd out an actual meal.

Churros and chocolate

The order here is the one San Ginés has served in Madrid since 1894: churros with a cup of thick Spanish hot chocolate for dipping. This Collins Avenue branch is the Miami outpost of that chocolatería, and it runs on the same simple idea. The chocolate is built for dunking, not sipping like a latte, so share a plate if you're also planning lunch. Prices sit at $$, which is fair for this stretch of South Beach, and nobody will judge you for ordering churros at 9 am.

Brunch beyond the fryer

Google files it as a coffee shop, sandwich shop, bakery and brunch spot, and the menu leans that way. Reviewers quoted on the shop's own site single out the Spanish tortilla, and vegetarians mention a good run of bakery options. The coffee gets steady praise too. Service is described as quick and the staff speak Spanish, which suits the room. With 4.6 from about 3,600 Google reviews, it's one of the more consistent breakfast picks on Collins, where plenty of places coast on location.

Early, late, and to go

Doors open at 7 am every day and close at 10 pm, pushed to 11 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. That makes it a rare South Beach stop that works before the beach and again after dinner, when a churro run beats another overpriced cocktail. Online ordering is available if you'd rather eat back at the hotel. The shop also sells its traditional hot chocolate mix online for $30 when it's in stock, so you can keep dunking at home.

Bon à savoir

Online ordering is available if you want churros to take back to your hotel.
