Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Coral Gables

"The best dinner view in Miami, period Busting out your phone on a romantic night out is about the fastest way to ensure there’s not another date... but it’s almost impossible when presented with the art deco tableau spread out in front of you at Juvia. From the top of the 1111 building, this restaurant looks east across Miami Beach at the largest collection of art deco buildings in the world, then out onto the Atlantic Ocean."

"Listen, stunning views don’t alway equal romance, but at Juvia they sure do. Head to the top of the 1111 building to enjoy an evening of art deco design and a lush green plant wall that cascades down the sides of this restaurant’s impressive terrace. Oh, and did we mention the sweeping views of Miami Beach?"

"Described as having one of the best rooftop views in the city, Juvia’s got a menu to impress. While the plates are on the smaller side, the flavors and presentation will have you feeling fine and fancy. The ultra modern space serves up a French, Japanese, and Peruvian inspired menu."

"A South Beach staple for more than 25 years, Big Pink is a retro diner with an extensive menu of more than 200 dishes. The restaurant boasts an all-hours vibe, with large TVs lining the walls and iconic pink VW Beetles parked outside. Whether you’re “Team Sweet” or “Team Savory,” you’ll have a hard time choosing just one perfect brunch dish here – but be assured there’s no wrong choice."

"A classic chocolate cake never fails at any party, and Big Pink has been helping make celebrations more festive with its Chocolate Skyscraper for the past 23 years. At the South Beach diner, the tried-and-true creation is often ordered for the table and can serve two to four people per slice ($12.75). Forks will plunge deep into this four-layer feast, held together by a rich pudding."

"I've heard about this spot and was taken here for my birthday and it did NOT disappoint at all. Started off with a thick and delicious crab cake tha..."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants American Little Haiti / Lemon City. Blue Collar’s portions are to be both admired and feared. Chef Daniel Serfer’s cozy MiMo spot apparently swore a blood oath to never send a patron home hungry and has been making good on that promise with delicious Caribbean, New Orleans and Jewish comfort food."

"The term “comfort food” never made more sense than it does right now, when your anxiety can be easily quelled by a big, savory side of beef. Nobody does brisket better than Blue Collar, where you can still enjoy that braised beef with mashed potatoes and jus, with nothing to clean up after your food coma.Cost: $20; Orders by calling the restaurant at 305.756.0366"

"Nestled between the motels along Biscayne Blvd., you’ll find Blue Collar serving comfort food with a twist. Whether you’re in the mood for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, your tastebuds will be singing by the end of any meal here. Make sure not to leave without trying their chocolate cake (trust me)."

"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. For years, the Epic Hotel’s rooftop bar and restaurant was a magnet for business types grabbing a drink after work in the area. But even without its beat-the-clock happy hour, Area 31 is still luring the locals with its unparalleled views of Downtown and well-priced bites and sips."

"Located on the 16th Floor of the Kimpton Epic Hotel, one of the best hotels in Miami, Area 31 is a popular happy hour spot with gorgeous views overlooking sparkling Miami waterways and downtown Miami. The food is locally sourced with a seafood-centric menu with a Mediterranean flavor. At the bar, you’ll find seasonal cocktails and an international wine list."

"Founded by Cuban-American, Jason Odio, Bebito’s is a Cuban-inspired cafe situated at Flamingo Point. The interior at Bebito’s features trendy pastel pink decor with a green tiled backdrop behind the service counter. Bebito’s also has a generous outdoor seating area — following the same color scheme as indoors — where guests can enjoy Bebito’s Private Label signature coffee, breakfast served all day, and a range of baked goods (plus lots more)."

"This bright and airy South Beach cafe serves up everything the classic cafecito to more unique coffee libations like the cloud latte topped with “cloud” foam and cacao “rain.” Pair the brews with pastries by Dallas Wynne, or opt for something heartier like a steak sandwich, guava barbecue chicken, or a chicken vaca frita bowl. Open for takeout, delivery, and outdoor dining. View this post on Instagram"

"South Beach desperately needs more coffee shops where one can concentrate without having to wrestle with a family of French tourists over the only seat near a power outlet. Bebito’s is just such a place. It’s in the lobby of a residential building slightly away from always-busy Alton Road."

"I don't typically write reviews, but I found this place to be average for the price. My sisters and I sat outside, but the table was dirty and full ..."

"This cafe features a colorful, whimsical interior, but the outdoor tables are considered the place to be. A concrete canopy shields the sun, assisted by colorful umbrellas at each table, creating an appealing courtyard setting that is shady enough to temper the heat. The original Balans was located in London's Soho, and the hip, cosmopolitan vibe is evident at the Miami Beach outpost."
