Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Kendall

"The outdoor lounge at Greenstreet Cafe wraps around the exterior of the restaurant and overlooks the street in Coconut Grove, so customers can watch passersby and enjoy the beautiful Miami weather while partaking in a delicious meal. The place feels like a classy but casual bistro, with corrugated metal ceilings that form a stark contrast to the elaborately upholstered loveseats on the large patio. Before ordering a coconut crusted French toast, pumpkin pancakes, a goat cheese and tomato omelet, or a homemade cinnamon bun, guests can indulge in a sinfully delicious mimosa, Bloody Mary, or a breakfast cocktail, like the Grove Goddess, made with St. Germaine, Aperol, fresh watermelon juice, and cava."

"Restaurants Coconut Grove. More than a restaurant, Green Street is a gathering place for a confluence of cyclists, dog parents, families and people seeking a shady spot where to enjoy Miami’s sunny weather. The nicer the day, the longer the wait time, though the bar serves cocktails and food on a first-come, first-served basis."

"Not for nothing is GreenStreet Café known as one of the best breakfast places in Miami. Nestled in the heart of Coconut Grove, GreenStreet Café offers outdoor seating and fantastic menu items that are sure to satisfy any taste. Their rotating selection of specialty pancakes, such as cinnamon roll pancakes, are always a hit."

"Restaurants Coffee shops South Beach. The latest from restaurateur Jason Odio (Baby Jane, La Otra) is a healthy(ish) Cuban-American café named for his grandfather. Order a café con leche with coconut or almond milk, and fill up on chorizo-manchego croquetas or dulce de leche cookies from Stubborn Seed’s Dallas Wynne, who’s a partner on the project."

"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."

"The location of News Cafe in Miami Beach is absolutely unbeatable, sited on the corner of 8th Ave and Ocean Drive, just steps away from the swaying palms and sandy stretch of the beach. This iconic cafe has plenty of outdoor seating so guests can enjoy people watching and feel the warm Florida sunshine, but also has some indoor seating options as well for those who wish to take advantage of the air conditioning. News Cafe is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and serves up great breakfast dishes such as eggs Benedict, omelets, classic American breakfast platters of eggs, toast, bacon or sausage, News Fries, juice, and coffee, and delicious French toast, pancakes, or waffles hot off the griddle."

"A legend within the sphere of Miami Beach, the News Cafe is always packed with happy customers. Patrons planning to dine should expect to wait for a table, as this cafe is set on a popular corner near South Beach. Because of its prime location on ocean Drive, News Cafe provides the perfect ambiance for a morning (or afternoon) of people watching."

"News Cafe is one of the places that helped define the South Beach renaissance. Originally opened in 1988 as an oasis for the ever-present production … […]"

"Because honestly, where else would you get a guava pastelito that tastes this good?. 3555 SW Eighth St.; 305-444-0240 or versaillesrestaurant.com. Photo courtesy of True Loaf"

"Maybe Versailles is better (3501 SW 8th St) ? Day 4: Caribbean vibes in Coconut Grove & swim in gorgeous Venetian pool"

"Hollywood has a considerable Romanian population, and La Vendetta is an ideal place to sample some of their hearty cuisine, as well as some well-made Italian specialties. The mititei, a type of sausage shaped meatball, is a signature dish served with a side of creamy polenta smothered in sour cream."

"The outdoor dining area is very cute in a parklette type setting with umbrellas and plants. Service was fairly quick."

"Coconut GroveThere’s nothing quite like delving into a spicy, steaming plate of chicken vindaloo in a mirrored space that could well have been the inspiration for the Babylon Club. But would you expect any less out of Miami’s most vaunted Indian restaurant, who moved into this massive Mayfair space after it outgrew its old digs on Commodore Plaza. Bombay Darbar plays the Indian classics better than anyone in Miami, and though it’s not as cutting edge as some of our more-celebrated Indian eateries it still packs ’em in night after night.How to book: Call 305-444-7272 to reserve."

"What began as a mom-and-pop 30-seater has grown into an Indian-food mainstay with two locations (Coconut Grove and Fort Lauderdale). Diners crunch on crisp papadum wafers while watching Bollywood movies on a large screen and perusing the menu. That list is lengthy, but at its heart are the tikkas, tandooris, and vindaloos that fans of Indian food crave."

"Chef Danny Serfer’s Italian pop-up celebrates the comforts of Italian cooking with to-go items like Mussels Red (pan-roasted in a spicy red sauce), saffron arancini with fig jam, spaghetti meatballs, veal marsala, and eggplant Parmigiana. End the feast with lemon ricotta cheesecake. Available for takeout or delivery."

"A modern take on the classic seafood restaurant by Blue Collar chef Danny Serfer and partner Ryan Roman. Described by critics and guests as a “plain and fancy” oyster heaven, it also features plenty of other seafood items, as well as non-sea dwelling options like prime rib, chicken, and its famous veggie board."

"Come by and enjoy the wonderful ambiance alongside unforgettable food at Mignonette. Here, you’ll find a varied seafood menu, including an assortment of oysters, seafood towers and an extensive wine and beer menu. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation to ensure they have a seat when you stop in."

"5 out of 5 stars Restaurants American Coral Gables. Arguably some of the best burgers in the land, Danny Meyer’s Shake Shack knows how to deliver a tasty patty. The Coral Gables outpost has foosball, shuffleboard and ping pong—all sure to keep the kids busy while you wait for your frozen custard concrete."

"Shack Shack’s massive Coral Gables location is a family favorite for a reason. Aside from the restaurant’s legendary burgers and fries (and what kid doesn’t love burgers and fries?) it offers fooseball and ping pong tables, plenty of seating, and a just-loud-enough atmosphere that kids can be themselves without wrecking havoc on other guests."

"For die-hard burger fans, Shake Shack on Lincoln Road is a must. This Miami Beach hot spot is known for its gourmet fast food. Splurge on bacon cheese fries or a loaded Shack-cago dog, and don’t miss out on the thick shakes."

"Seafood is another thing you will find at many Miami restaurants, but it doesn’t have to be expensive. My Ceviche is our favorite hidden gem we found on our last trip. This counter service eatery offers ceviche and poke bowl for just $10!"

"Their burger has not one, but two patties and it’s also topped with some of the best bacon I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. The sinner’s sundae is one not to be missed. You bet you’ll have to whip out your stretchy pants afterward."

"The gist: The Gables’ first sceney restaurant serves up Instagram-ready sushi, steaks, and Italian-American dishes straight from the northeast, with live nightly shows to keep things buzzing.The food: Though we’d never thought we’d see a velvet rope on Miracle Mile, Roman Jones has somehow made it happen. The man who was Grutman before Grutman was Grutman gives the Gables its first taste of champagne sparkler dining, with leopard print banquettes, gothic columns, and plenty of mirrors. The food is a lot more than a club owner’s afterthought, though, with a giant wagyu meatball headlining a menu of Italian-American classics and more."
