Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Miami Beach

"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."

"Coined "Coconut Grove's most iconic 'see and be seen' restaurant," Green Street Cafe is the place to be if you're looking to rub shoulders with local celebs. Home to a large outdoor lounge area featuring lush velvet couches and plenty of space for friends and family to gather, Green Street Cafe presents a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is renowned for its large, tasty breakfasts, which include Nutella French toast, cinnamon roll pancakes, eggs in lots of different ways, and a selection of continental options."

"A chic Cuban cafe located at Flamingo Point with a menu comprised of items like chorizo manchego croquetas; baked egg with spinach, artichoke and cheese; and even a guava miso salmon grain bowl.

"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."

"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."

"A Miami Beach standby, News Cafe offers casual outdoor dining and excellent people-watching. Situated in the Art Deco District, the cafe is located across the street from the beach. The menu is mind-boggling with dishes for every taste: seafood, steak, pasta, panini, pizza, and more."

"the chocolate fondue had a great taste but they need to use the fondue special little forks because with the…"

"For more than 100 years, this legendary South Beach restaurant has been the definitive place to feast on massive crustaceans served family-style. Pro tip: No meal here is complete without a slice of key lime pie. Now doing delivery and take-out."

"Go American-style at Starbuck’s or enjoy a Latin-style breakfast of Cuban coffee and pan tostada (toasted Cuban bread) at Café Con Leche."

"Downtown's Gelateria 4D, located at 670 Lincoln Road, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the gelateria and café four stars out of 191 reviews for its plentiful flavors. Especially popular is the parmalat milk gelato, made with imported Italian milk."

"Midtown Creamery has some pretty intense ice cream creations, like a “giant” ice cream sandwich, brownie sundaes, and milkshakes that could last you three days. The Edgewater spot is currently delivering on most major delivery apps. You can also call (786) 536-2281 to order."

"Located just off South Dixie Highway in Homestead, the Coral Castle Museum is a unique outdoor attraction that was built by a local man entirely from local limestone. It’s still a mystery how he moved and manipulated the massive limestone blocks used in the castle’s construction; some have suggested he may have had extraterrestrial help. Though the verdict is still out on that claim, there’s no doubt that it’s a popular attraction with children and adults alike, and it’s one of those one-of-a-kind Florida attractions that you won’t see elsewhere."

"‘You will be seeing unusual accomplishment,’ reads the inscription on the rough-hewn quarried wall. That’s an understatement. There is no greater temple to all that is weird and wacky about South Florida. The legend: a Latvian gets snubbed at the altar. Comes to the USA and settles in Florida. Handcarves, unseen, in the dead of night, a monument to unrequited love."

"No one’s figured out how one diminutive mason managed to move the huge stones for this sculpture garden dedicated to his lost love."

"Spanish missionaries and treasure seekers first explored the Florida coast as far back as the 17th century, and the Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach is a fascinating bit of local and international history that dates back centuries before that when it was originally constructed in Spain. Inhabited by monks for nearly seven centuries, in the early 1920s, it was bought by American newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst, disassembled, shipped to Florida, and reassembled on its current site. It has been open to the public since the mid-’60s, and for those who don’t mind spending a few extra bucks, the best way to experience it is by guided tour."

"You won’t want to miss Miami Mountain in Collins Park while you’re on Collins Ave. This fluorescent-colored rock sculpture towers over the park at 42 feet tall. Born from the creative mind of Ugo Rondinone, Miami Mountain is Florida’s version of Rondinone’s famous Seven Magic Mountains."
