The South Miami location of Deli Lane Cafe & Tavern is an ideal locale for a Sunday brunch. The casual and unpretentious atmosphere embodies what lazy Sundays are all about.

outdoor setting, and a breakfast or brunch that will fill you up at a reasonable price then Deli Lane fits the
bill.
Deli Lane Cafe & Tavern is open
Sunday to Monday 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Tuesday to Thursday 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and
