"Start a day of business meetings or sightseeing by fueling up at this popular, buzzing cafe located in the bustling neighborhood of Coconut Grove. Whether you're grabbing a bagel, pastry or croissant to go or you're settling into while away the morning with a full meal and the daily news, this is the perfect choice for locals and tourists alike. GreenStreet offers indoor seating but it's the outdoor tables that are always busiest, often with patrons who bring their furry friends to this dog-friendly establishment."
"I would skip class my senior year of HS (sorry, Mom), so I could snag brunch at GreenStreet Cafe. It’s right in the heart of Coconut Grove and it has one of the best brunches ever. My personal favorite, are the cinnamon roll pancakes."
"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."
"A neighborhood staple as well as a dining destination along the beach, you won’t find better coffee in Miami than at Bebito’s Cafe. Not only do the roasters take exquisite care of the beans, their chefs bring artistry to the breakfast table. At Bebito’s you’ll be drinking their Private Label coffee blend."
"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 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."

"Restaurants Coffee shops Coral Gables. This Gables favorite welcomes folks of all stripes: hip artists, businessmen on lunch break and viejos looking for something to sip on. You can opt for a sit-down lunch (a delicious one, at that) or grab your coffee to-go.Cafe Demetrio has a selection of wild creations like a salted caramel mocha alongside reliable favorites like your classic cortadito."
"Coffee and chess are the two most popular pastimes at Café Demetrio in Coral Gables. As one of Coral Gable’s first coffee houses, this quaint coffee shop and eatery was opened back in the early 1990’s by Demetrio and Vilma Pena. They were always big coffee lovers and dreamed of opening a place where patrons could come, relax in the Florida sunshine, and spend the afternoon playing chess with friends."
"For a quick breakfast or a leisurely meal, fuel up at this hip cafe and you'll be ready for a day of sightseeing, shopping, or business meetings. The cozy, comfortable room is perfect for perusing the morning paper or meeting up with friends. Or grab a table outside and relax as you enjoy an excellent cappuccino, espresso, or the favorite of the house, the Frappuccino Demetrio."
"Cecile Bakery + Cafe is located in the heart of South Miami and is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast and Franck Monnier’s tasty creations. Coral Gables Love reader Vanessa recommends, “This is an awesome rundown!"
"The spectacular addition to the iconic Eden Roc Hotel, now known as the Nobu Eden Roc Hotel Miami Beach, features an extraordinary spa that focuses on taking each guest on a sensory journey, focusing on the mind, body and spirit. The 22,000 square-foot oceanfront facility is a full-service spa equipped with 18 treatment rooms, a custom scrub bar, cold plunges, sauna & steam rooms, a hydrotherapy circuit, a relaxation salon, VIP cabanas and a state-of-the art gym. The experience is heightened to a truly holistic experience with the incorporation of new ESPA treatments, Nobu-inspired stretching rituals and the purity of Natura Bissé skincare products, that all curate the ultimate restorative experience."
"Glamour oozes from every corner of this classic Miami Beach resort on Collins Avenue. There are three pools with plenty of cabanas for posing, a sprawling spa, striking lobby bar with jaw-dropping chandelier and the in-demand Malibu Farm waterfront restaurant. Well-heeled locals also flock to dine at the hotel’s outpost of Nobu, famed for its delicate Japanese dishes and the best sushi in town."
"Perched at the top of South Beach’s 1111 Lincoln Road building, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, Juvia offers spectacular scenery along with a winning menu. With both indoor and outdoor seating, a vertical garden and 280-degree views of Greater Miami stretching from the beach to Biscayne Bay, you’ll feel like you’re on top of the world. The cuisine at this fine-dining establishment combines French techniques with Asian and Latin flavors."

"Restaurants South Beach. This popular Lincoln Road spot offers sweeping views of South Beach. Sadly, the views aren’t the only thing that’s sky-high—just wait for the bill."
"Back in Coral Gables we have yet another French bistro for you to add to your daily rotation. Frenchie’s Diner has been serving up the classic lunch and dinner staples every day but Sunday and Monday. This charming locale has everything you want from a neighborhood Brasserie–from a low-key diner atmosphere, an owner that knows you by name, and solid comfort food that never fails."
"Normandy Isle’s Rouge is an unexpected experience in Moroccan-French cooking. It’s part luxurious garden, part Casablanca (there’s live jazz at the grand piano every Wednesday), and your best bet for an upscale meal in North Beach. Moroccan born chef/owner Nabil Hach Al-luch bought the space in 2012, and created a menu with dishes like Moroccan braised duck and apricot, rabbit stew, and branzino en papillote."
"Miami is in the midst of a rooftop revolution, with a bounty of new spots to check out. One of our favorites is Terras, a tropical space in Little Havana with unparalleled views of the downtown skyline. Besides the gorgeous location, Terras offers a roster of veggie-forward urban street food from Latin America."
"The best neighborhood bar is the one closest to home, but Bougainvillea's, a snug self-described "old Florida tavern" near the Shops at Sunset Place, is worth the trek. Built inside a '40s-era cottage, it's a fine place to sip wine and contemplate humanity or to down beers with friends. The lights are generally set to dim, there's a fireplace, and some tables are set up outside."
