Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Biscayne Bay

"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."

"The platters are super filling and generous, so go there with plenty of room in your stomach. There are sit-down dining and outdoor seating. They offer delivery and takeout too."

"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."

"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 … […]"

"Located a few blocks north of Miracle Mile in Coral Gables is Gusto Fino Italian Deli Café, is one of my favorite sandwich shops in the city. Serving a variety of classic Italian dishes and hot and cold sandwiches, the casual café, also offers a limited beer and wine list, as well as a breakfast menu. You’ll find delicious offerings like a classic New York Reuben sandwich or a hot pastrami sub."

"Baccano is an intimate locally owned Italian café and wine bar located in the heart of Miami's booming Wynwood Art District. Formally known as Café Santa Miami, Baccano offers authentic wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza, mouthwatering desserts, a unique selection of Italian wines and an assortment of local craft beer. Signature pizzas include Sausage and Friarielli (mozzarella cheese, sausage, broccoli), The Santa (bacon and egg), Sicily (smoked buffalo mozzarella and eggplant), and Vesuvius (mozzarella, ricotta, sauce, ham and eggplant)."

"Restaurants Japanese South of Fifth. Azabu is for the discerning diner. The one who prefers their fish be flown straight from Japan and likes rice cooked in specialty equipment calibrated to the Miami heat and humidity."

"This Michelin-starred concept from NYC is split into an elegant dining room, a chic cocktail bar and an 11-seat secluded sushi den inspired by a Tokyo izakaya. In any setting, you’ll sup on some unforgettable fish. We’re big fans of the salmon tataki drizzled in a kelp dashi dressing."

"Like Goldilocks and her porridge, it can be hard to find an omakase that’s “just right” - one that hits that sweet spot between formal and informal, suspiciously cheap and give-your-accountant-a-heart-attack expensive. But Mr. Omakase in Downtown walks that line perfectly. I’m not going to call dinner here cheap, but both the 10 and 14-course options come in under $100 (at least before service, taxes, and sake), which is better than most upscale omakase options."
