Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in North Bay Village

"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."

"Coconut Grove is a haven of outdoor dining, with welcoming sidewalk cafes near the CocoWalk outdoor shopping center. Greenstreet Café is a Coconut Grove institution, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Snag a sidewalk table in the shade and enjoy the bohemian ambiance of The Grove, a historic neighborhood founded in the 1870s by artists, intellectuals and adventurers."

"Although it is primarily known as a romantic setting for a beautiful evening out, Casablanca Cafe is equally as enchanting for a luncheon with friends or for business. This Fort Lauderdale Beach treasure is artfully housed in an authentic two-story Spanish home overlooking the always changing beachfront.

"Casablanca Cafe is housed in a charming, historic former residence complete with ocean views. This building dates back to 1927 and is the oldest remaining structure on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Both locals and tourists love Casablanca Cafe’s Mediterranean-American dishes, charming atmosphere with live piano music, and friendly staff."
