Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Plaza on Brickell

"Restaurants Coconut Grove. More than a restaurant, Green Street is a gathering place for a confluence of cyclists, dog parents, families and people seeking a shady spot where to enjoy Miami’s sunny weather. The nicer the day, the longer the wait time, though the bar serves cocktails and food on a first-come, first-served basis."

"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."

"This bright and airy South Beach cafe serves up everything the classic cafecito to more unique coffee libations like the cloud latte topped with “cloud” foam and cacao “rain.” Pair the brews with pastries by Dallas Wynne, or opt for something heartier like a steak sandwich, guava barbecue chicken, or a chicken vaca frita bowl. Open for takeout, delivery, and outdoor dining. View this post on Instagram"

"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."

"The location of News Cafe in Miami Beach is absolutely unbeatable, sited on the corner of 8th Ave and Ocean Drive, just steps away from the swaying palms and sandy stretch of the beach. This iconic cafe has plenty of outdoor seating so guests can enjoy people watching and feel the warm Florida sunshine, but also has some indoor seating options as well for those who wish to take advantage of the air conditioning. News Cafe is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and serves up great breakfast dishes such as eggs Benedict, omelets, classic American breakfast platters of eggs, toast, bacon or sausage, News Fries, juice, and coffee, and delicious French toast, pancakes, or waffles hot off the griddle."

"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."

"The scene: Serving feel-good American classics with strong Southern influences, Whisk is one of South Miami’s hidden gems. The restaurant’s specials change every day to take full advantage of fresh, seasonal produce and local ingredients, so there’s always plenty of new and tasty things to try. While the lunch and dinner offerings are outstanding, especially the salads which are good enough to convert even the most stubborn veggie haters, the brunch menu is really where it’s at."

"With about a dozen specialty beers on tap (plus seasonal selections) and another half-dozen or so microbrews in bottle, Titanic may not have the biggest selection, but there's no arguing that this brewery and restaurant has the most flavorful, carefully crafted beer in town. Brewmaster Jamie Ray whips up at least half of the daily draught offerings, including the evocatively named Boiler Room Nut Brown Ale and Triple Screw light ale, and he keeps receiving national awards for them at competitions where the judges, for the record, never spit. Then there are all the beer-related events -- live blues-and-brews, Mug Club specials, name-that-brewski contests, University of Miami sports nights, Brewmaster dinners, free T-shirt happy hours."

"In 1982 two Florida International University students in their early twenties, Patrick Gleber and Kevin Rusk, helped transform Miami's oldest bar, Tobacco Road, from a decrepit, crime-ridden dive into one of the most popular food and music venues in the county. Then came Fishbone Grille, continuing a tradition of excellent food at a moderate price. So in 1997, when Rusk announced he was going to start a brew pub in Coral Gables, it seemed a recipe for success."

"Review: Guava Wheat beer is phenomenal, unique industrial area surroundings. A large, beautiful brewery located in Hialeah. Unbranded Brewing Co. is a fascinating space with overhanging plants, outdoor seating, and lovely outdoor murals."

"Follow the "hot light" in North Miami to find melt-in-your-mouth, signature original glazed doughnuts from Krispy Kreme. At times you'll see locals lining the streets waiting for the first batch of doughnuts in the wee hours of the morning. Try the iconic brand's eight wonderful varieties of doughnuts, including jelly-filled, powdered, chocolate, cinnamon, coconut and even the peanut cake stick."

"The national brand is offering customers a free doughnut this Friday – in fact, all week!. No purchase necessary!. Check out the locations in Miami."

"The big difference is that the Donuts are warm and melts in your mouth. The coffee is also excellent quality."

"This plant-based ice cream specialty shop offers pints of vegan ice cream ($15) for curbside pick up from 2 p.m."

"I'm not allergic to gluten but I eat NonGMo and they also are 100% non gmo.Including the meats and eggs, plus organic."

"If you’re feeling ambitious on your townie cruiser, you can ride north to Bal Harbour or Haulover beaches; natives know these as water-sports havens—and for Bal Harbour’s luxury shopping. Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."

"Continue south on Collins Avenue and enjoy the views of Miami Beach, eventually reaching iconic South Beach. Park and head to the sand to enjoy a few hours on the beach. If that doesn’t sound like the right fit, enjoy a walk along iconic Lincoln Road for shopping, eating, drinking and people watching."
