El Sitio Coffee Bar

Venezuelan arepas and coffee from 7:30 am on Flagler's corner, downtown's honest breakfast.

Checked October 2026

El Sitio is downtown's quick, good breakfast and lunch: Venezuelan arepas, eggs and meat plates at the counter, coffee that does its job, and hours that start at 7:30 am every day.

Why you go

Because downtown Miami is short on places that feed you fast and well before work. El Sitio does an all-day quick-service menu built on the arepa, the stuffed corn bread that Venezuela gave Miami, plus breakfast plates and meat dishes later. It is casual, busy at lunch and cheap for the area.

When to go

Breakfast from 7:30 am any day, or a weekday lunch before 12:30 pm to beat the office crowd. Open until 9 pm Monday to Thursday, 11 pm Friday and Saturday, and 7 pm Sunday.

Know before you go

$$ on Google, but a full plate here costs less than a coffee and pastry in Brickell. The address is 19 NE 2nd Avenue, a block from Flagler Street and two from the Metromover.
