\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSouth Florida’s beloved Beverly Hills Caf\u00e9 has reopened in the form of Hills Cafe by a former employee in Hialeah with salads and sandwiches.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

When the Beverly Hills Caf\u00e9 closed its Miami Lakes location<\/a> in July 2022 after 43 years in business, locals mourned. The restaurant was famous for its loaded salads, large burgers, and warm, honey-yeast rolls served fresh out of the oven. Now, that legacy has a new home in Hialeah.<\/p>\n

Hills Cafe<\/a> officially opened its doors at 7380 W. 20th Ave. in November 2025. The project is led by Hillary Fayth<\/a>, a former employee who spent 21 years working at the original institution. For Fayth, the revival is a tribute to a place that served as more than just a restaurant.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeverly Hills Caf\u00e9 has been around since 1978,\u201d Fayth told What Now<\/a> last year. \u201cMy mom was a waitress there, and my dad was a customer at the bar; that was how they met. Then, fast forward 25 years, and I was working there. I started in 2001, and I was there for 23 years. It was like the Cheers of our community, where everybody knew your name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"The sandwich selection covers the classics, from a triple-decker \u201cHills Club\u201d to chicken parmigiana served on a kaiser bun. <\/p>\n

The new 1,200-square-foot space is designed to feel like a sister concept to the original outpost, blending classic menu dishes with a few modern updates. The menu reads like a greatest-hits collection for anyone who frequented the Miami Lakes original (or one of the ten other locations they had around Florida during the height of their popularity). <\/p>\n

The legendary loaded salads return with the signature dressings fans spent decades craving, including the \u201cHills Cobb,\u201d which features grilled chicken, avocado, bacon bits, bleu cheese, black olives, and egg.<\/p>\n

\"\"The menu will serve Beverly Hills Caf\u00e9 classics, while adding some new items longtime customers have longed for<\/p>\n

Other favorites include the half-pound \u201cHills Burger,\u201d served on a toasted bun with crispy fries and optional toppings like saut\u00e9ed mushrooms and onions. The sandwich selection covers the classics, from a triple-decker \u201cHills Club\u201d to chicken parmigiana served on a kaiser bun. And of course, the fluffy, fresh-baked rolls remain the essential sidecar to every meal.<\/p>\n

Fayth describes the new iteration as a mom-and-pop version of a large, high-volume cafe. \u201cI\u2019m sort of putting my own swag on it,\u201d Fayth says. \u201cWe\u2019ll have the base of Beverly Hills Caf\u00e9\u2014it didn\u2019t change a lot through the years\u2014but we\u2019ll be adding some things people said they wanted all along.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"She also plans to use the space for community-focused events and activities, such as financial literacy classes and study groups for local students.<\/p>\n

Beyond the food, Fayth envisions Hills Cafe as a gathering place for the neighborhood. The restaurant includes a kids\u2019 corner and a bar area for those seeking a more casual experience or dining solo. She also plans to use the space for community-focused events and activities, such as financial literacy classes and study groups for local students.<\/p>\n

The opening has already generated a lot of buzz on social media, where former guests have shared their excitement about the brand\u2019s return, albeit in a slightly different form. However, fans looking for a weekend fix will have to wait \u2013 the restaurant is currently operating on a weekday-only schedule for lunch and dinner.<\/p>\n
