Cafe Mayi in Miami

Last inspected:

2475 Brickell Ave Ste 602, Miami, FL 33129
Overview

Cafe Mayi in Miami operates as a convenience store with significant food service. The facility was inspected twice on record: March 8, 2023 (4 violations) and January 5, 2026 (12 violations). The January 2026 inspection found the establishment operating beyond the scope of its original food permit—the facility cooks eggs and beef from raw, requiring a permit upgrade from limited food service to significant food service, with a fee adjustment required within 10 days. Critical findings across both inspections centered on employee health and food safety knowledge: the person in charge was unable to answer questions about foodborne illness transmission in 2023 and again in 2026 lacked demonstration of food code knowledge and had no certified food protection manager on staff. The facility lacked written procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events in both inspections, and a probe thermometer for temperature control was not available during the 2026 inspection. Handwashing sink soap was noted as missing during the 2023 inspection but was corrected on site. The 2023 inspection resulted in compliance; the 2026 inspection required citations to be corrected before final disposition.
