Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in South Beach

"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."

"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."

"If people watching is your thing, grab a cup of coffee, a newspaper and an outdoor seat at Miami Beach’s News Café. This SoBe institution is the American Rivera’s most famous coffee shop and, the best part is, this place is open 24/7. Originally opened as a small news stand and bookstore, that also happened to sell coffee, News Café has quickly grown to accommodate an ever-changing group of customers and tourists."

"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."

"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 … […]"

"No limit on the amount of toilet paper (cakes) one can buy here. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Lucila Cakes (@lucilacakesmiami) on Apr 11, 2020 at 8:08am PDT"

"The chocolate brigadeiro cake at Sagrado Cafe is an indulgent combination of moist layers of chocolate cake and brigadeiros, Brazil's signature truffle. Thanks to sweetened condensed milk in the truffle mixture, the cake remains moist despite the absence of frosting. To add to the richness, mini brigadeiros top the whole thing ($8 to $69 depending upon the size)."

"With an enchanted garden atmosphere, this Brazilian café in downtown Miami is a great place for family bonding time. Kids' meals ($14) start with a sharable warm basket of gluten-free cheese bread and a choice of soda or juice. Then it's on to their own plate of chicken Milanese, served with a side of rice, fries, or mac 'n' cheese."

"Pioneered by Joey Goldman in 2008, Joey's was the first to enter Wynwood’s restaurant scene and now tops even the most selective lists of the city’s best pizzas. The hotspot helped revitalize the now hip and popular Wynwood neighborhood, located next to the area's famed painted walls. Joey's is a favorite for delicious thin crust pies and other authentic Italian dishes and pastas, which are all to be enjoyed with a selection from its carefully curated wine pairing list."

"Whether you’re seated in the intimate dining room or the lush courtyard, at Joey’s you’ll feel like you’re dining at a friend’s welcoming home. The casual Italian eatery – which was one of the first restaurants in Wynwood – is all about the carb life, with an array of authentic pizzas and pastas. You can’t go wrong with the spaghetti vongole, made with middleneck clams, olive oil, garlic and white wine sauce."

"When it comes to ranking the best hip hop clubs in Miami, Cameo earns one of the list’s top spots. It’s Miami’s iconic nightclub that has been a hotspot for celebrities, visitors, and locals since the early 80s. Drake, Young Thug, DJ Khaled, and Young Jeezy are a few of the many stars at Cameo."

"One of the most photographed locations in Miami, Wynwood Walls is a collection of murals and paintings laid out over an open courtyard. Artist-led tours are available, but it’s free to simply explore on your own. What invariably bowls people over is the sheer exuberant colors and commanding presence of the murals, which only tend to be around for less than a year before they are painted over."

"Start your Wynwood adventure at the Wynwood Walls, home to dozens of murals by the world’s top street artists. The murals change regularly, so the next time you visit Miami, many of them will be different. It’s easy to spend an hour or more wandering through the murals and the galleries connected to the Walls."

"Located at the new W South Beach Hotel, the WALL is a chic destination, brought to the Miami night scene by KNR Group: the name behind other dining and clubbing hot spots including Solea, Quattro Gastronomia Italiana, Mokai and Mynt. Velvet ropes, bron...[Learn more]"

"The building opened in 1925 and became a US National Historic Landmark in 2008.* It’s an impressive landmark. It first started as headquarters for the newspaper Miami News. It now is a contemporary art museum."
