Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Star Island

"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?"

"Restaurants South Beach. No matter the time of year, sunset dinners at Juvia are marked by candy-colored skies. Consider it a free show or part of the experience when you dine at the Lincoln Road restaurant."

"Down in Miami Beach, this iconic diner lives up to its name. Yes, the restaurant is as pink as it is big, and this whimsical joint serves up all-American, kid-friendly food with a side of nostalgia. Go here for all-day breakfast, burgers, chicken fingers, and TV-dinner style trays made from scratch."

"Its deco pink exterior combined with the pink buggy parked right out front make this spot the perfect Instagrammable spot for you!"

"Danny Serfer’s Blue Collar takes its cues from the classic American diner. The tiny restaurant in the MiMo District offers daily specials and elevated comfort foods. Start with a gutsy New Orleans-style dish of shrimp and grits with bacon and Worcestershire-based barbecue sauce, or Chanukah latkes (served year-round)."

"Serving up generous portions of gourmet American comfort food, this neighbourhood joint has a canteen-like feel, but the devastatingly delicious menu options and excellent craft beer selection more than make up for it."

"On the 16th floor of the Kimpton EPIC Hotel, Area 31’s outdoor veranda is still a go-to spot for happy hour cocktails or a seafood-focused meal, boasting some of Downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay views to boot.

"Come at night, enjoy the happy hour and city lights.All your friends will be wondering where did you take that picture."

"While sipping away on Tap 42’s bottomless mimosas, opt for the white chocolate chip pancakes to go with them. Made with plenty of white chocolate chips and topped with strawberries, powdered sugar, and whipped cream, they might be the only thing you won’t regret in the morning."

"The large indoor/outdoor restaurant is always lively with the sounds of people enjoying cocktails and oysters. The menu, by chef Timon Balloo, is diverse and global: small plates, meat, and vegetables from a Japanese robata grill, raw bar items, and sushi. Among the dozen or so robata items, chicken yakitori is a favorite — soft, plump pieces of breast meat interspersed with snippets of thick, almost-leek-like Tokyo scallions, all lightly charred and glazed with a slightly sweet, mirin/soy-based tare sauce."

"Whether you end up here on accident or on purpose, you’ll probably have to wait a bit so if you are able to make a reservation ahead of time, do. Weekend brunch is the best here. Sushi is available, as well as well as specialty rolls, ceviche, a raw bar and traditional brunch items like waffles, pancakes and avocado toast."

"The Sugarcane is located between two of Miami’s hottest neighborhoods, the Design District and Wynwood. The Sugarcane is known for its Rum Cocktails. The place has the largest selection of rums and a solid wine list too."

"A French bakery with a Latin twist” is their motto; a perfect way to reel in Miami’s Hispanic locals. While there might be a few Latin elements, La Boulangerie is most noticeably French. Light-filled and full of noise behind the counter, fresh-baked pastries that run out every day (best almond croissants)–straight from Paris’ own streets!"

"This is a popular French bakery that has a special Latin twist to it. Here, you will find mouth-watering pastries that are freshly baked every day. Since this artisanal bakery was opened 20 years ago, it has grown into one of the must-visit spots here in the city."

"The food and seating options are endless – making it the best spot to work on South Beach. Make sure you visit the one on 7th, since 17th is in the midst of a tourism central. If you’re craving something sweet, try one of their blended coffee shakes!"

"From Business: Fresh and innovative sandwiches, salads, soups, sweets and more. Specialty coffee is ground from the world's finest beans and prepared by expert baristi."

"Tierra Santa Healing House Photo: Courtesy Faena Miami Beach. Though the name translates to “holy ground healing house,” you don’t have to be a soul-meets-body yogi to appreciate the experience at Faena Miami Beach’s 22,000-square-foot Tierra Santa Healing House spa. In fact, there are just as many beauty and skincare offerings as there are “healing arts.” The spa has partnered with both all-natural cult-favorite Naturopathica (cleansing facials are standouts) and French heritage brand Biologique Recherche (try the micro-needling treatment) to give its treatments a science-backed kick."

"Like its name implies, this brewery pays homage to “Honest Abe.” Just look at the bar for proof—there are thousands of pennies glue to the top. When you go here, grab a seat on one of the plush couches, order some bar snacks (truffle cheddar popcorn, anyone?) and browse the beer list to choose the brew that’s best for you. There are 12 beers made on site at Lincoln’s Beard Brewing Co. and 15 total on tap, the latter of which usually contains a rotating menu of six or seven beers from other Miami breweries.7360 SW 41st Street, Miami, FL 33155."

"Head west and you’ll be rewarded with the self-proclaimed “weirdest brewery” in the city. The staff here might have an irreverent sense of humor, but the beer they produce is serious business. American IPAs, imperial stouts and barrel-aged browns are served up in an eclectic warehouse space, complete with cushy couches, barrel tables and a bar top featuring thousands of pennies—a shout-out to the brewery’s namesake—that have been painstakingly glued on by hand."

"Lincoln’s Beard Brewing Co. has an absolute ball putting on events like you could never predict. Before stopping by Lincoln’s Beard Brewing, check their site for any themed events going on. They did an emo-themed karaoke night recently."
