Mike & Ale
Things To Do in Coconut Grove
Grove Grocer
Best matcha in Coconut Grove!
EMISSARY CAFE
One of our favorite coffee spots. Originally hailing from Washington D.C., this has become a go to spot in the Grove. Make sure you try their pastries which are brought in daily from Flour & Weirdoughs in Key Biscayne.
Navi Coffee & Flowers
Pretty lattes surrounded by fresh blooms, this coffee and flower shop is a cutie!
El Bagel
It wouldn't be Mike's wedding without a good breakfast spot recommendation - El Bagel is a little gem right across the street from the Mayfair House Hotel that makes some of best BECH-es (bacon, egg and cheeses) in Miami. The Grove location is cozy and take-out focused, but the perfect spot to grab-and-go while exploring the neighborhood. The line can get pretty long but it's worth the wait!
Pura Vida Miami
A Miami staple! Pura Vida is located a few steps from the Mayfair House and is the perfect spot to grab acai bowls, green juice and smoothies, sandwiches, wraps, sweet treats, coffee, and at this location only, even gelato! This location is also particularly stunning!
Sipsip Rum Bar (at Mayfair House)
Located on the rooftop of the Mayfair House Hotel, Sip Sip offers carribbean cocktails and snacks by the pool.
Monty's Coconut Grove
A Miami waterfront classic that has been around for ages. Think laid back and casual, reggae, calypso and sometimes live music, seafood and drinks under the tiki-hut roof with marina vibes. What's not to love?
CARBONE VINO
For those who want a special night out, Carbone Vino is the Grove's latest addition by Major Food Group. A more intimate take on their classic Carbone, and located right in the heart of the Grove. Don't miss the spicy rigatoni and veal parm (Mike's favorite)! Reservation required and we recommend you make one early!
Strada in the Grove
A Cuadra family staple for lunch or dinner, in other words -- great for big groups! Enjoy an ice cold beer on their patio with light Italian fare. The "stracciatella" appetizer is not to be missed (Ale's favorite!).
Cotoletta
Cozy Italian spot known for its namesake dish - and the only thing they serve: their crispy, golden breaded cutlets served Milanese style along with whatever is fresh for that day -- a rotation of their delicious pastas, vibrant salads and sides. Their wine list is also pretty solid! The vibe here is impeccable. *Reservation required (make it early!)
Sadelle's Coconut Grove
A New York transplant's dream - check out Sadelle's for "the morning after" brunch or their neighboring coffee shop, Sadie's.
Los Felix
This spirited, Michelin-starred Mexican restaurant is bright and playful and super fun. Make sure to check out their natural wine list! Also check out Los Felix sister restaurant (located right downstairs) - Krus Kitchen.
Bodega Taqueria y Tequila
Bodega brings high energy Mexican street eats by day and after-party worthy vibes by night - make sure to check out their speakeasy through the "porta-potty" door. Also a great late night snack spot! For something more elevated, check out the mezcaleria upstairs, an intimate tasing room offering a curated lineup of rare mezcals and tequilas.
Bellini Coconut Grove
Located at Mr. C Hotel. Italian fare with a beautiful view of Biscayne Bay. Try the Vitello Tonnato (Ale's favorite!)
Chug's Diner
A Coconut Grove gem that blends nostalgic American diner charm with soulful Cuban flavors. Don't miss the "iced cafe con leche" - Ale's favorite and also "one sip" (@gabycuadra) approved!
Go Greek Yogurt
Greek froyo!
Barracuda Taphouse & Grill
Barracuda’s, or “Cuda’s” as it’s nicknamed by locals is a beloved local Grove dive bar known for its rustic, nautical decor. Shoot some pool, have a beer, and enjoy the charm of Fuller Street!
Mae’s Room
The Grove’s newest swanky cocktail bar. Right across the street from Barracuda’s if you’re looking for something a little more elevated.
Drinking Pig BBQ
This Coconut Grove newcomer has amazing BBQ, casual vibes, and a great beer selection.
