PROFILEmiami's Curated Guide to Dining in Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove’s appeal has always extended beyond its waterfront and leafy streets. The neighborhood’s restaurants are part of the way people live here: a terrace breakfast before a walk, a casual lunch between appointments, or a dinner worth making an evening of. As new residential and mixed-use projects join the village, its dining scene offers another lens on the Grove’s evolution, pairing established hospitality names with homegrown concepts.

In this curated guide, PROFILEmiami explores four destinations that capture that range: CARBONE VINO for Italian-American dining and wine, Sadelle’s for breakfast and brunch, Pura Vida Miami for an everyday café stop, and Chèvre x Ziggurat for artisan sandwiches, cheese and wine. Each brings a distinct experience to the neighborhood, with options for both a quick visit and a table worth lingering over.

CARBONE VINO

CARBONE VINO - CARBONE VINO brings Major Food Group’s Italian-American dining to Grand Avenue, with chef Mario Carbone’s familiar signatures and dishes developed for the VINO concept. Bishop Design’s moody interiors give the restaurant the atmosphere for a special evening, while a bar welcoming walk-ins makes it an approachable choice for a spontaneous meal.

The menu pairs Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Caesar alla ZZ and Veal Parmigiana with Calabrian Calamari, Tortellini Tartufo Nero and Chicken Cacciatore. Wine is central to the experience: a 3,000-bottle cellar spans more than 600 selections, with a changing by-the-glass program that opens the door to fine and rare pours.

Its appeal in the Grove lies in that balance of occasion and familiarity. Guests can settle into a full dinner or enjoy the complete menu at the bar, making the restaurant a useful neighborhood address as well as a destination.

Address: 2911 Grand Avenue, Coconut Grove, FL 33133.

Best for: Date nights, celebratory dinners, wine enthusiasts and weekend lunch. Dinner is served nightly; lunch runs Friday through Sunday, 11:30 a.m.–2 p.m.

SADELLE’S COCONUT GROVE

Sadelle’s Coconut Grove - Sadelle’s brings Major Food Group’s take on the New York breakfast and lunch institution to Mary Street. Its bright dining room and generous terrace make it an inviting place to gather, whether the plan is a quick morning meet-up or a leisurely meal with friends.

Bagel towers with smoked fish anchor a menu of chopped salads, triple-decker sandwiches, French toast and the house cheeseburger. Next door, Sadelle’s Cafe adds a separate reason to stop in: a collaboration with Bonberi founder Nicole Berrie featuring Montauk General matcha lattes, artisanal smoothies and frozen yogurt. The café offerings complement the restaurant’s more indulgent classics with options for a lighter break.

The terrace is particularly well suited to the Grove’s outdoor, unhurried rhythm. It is an easy setting for a neighborhood breakfast or a long lunch, while the adjacent café works for coffee and a treat on the go.

Address: 3321 Mary Street, Miami, FL 33133.

Best for: Breakfast, brunch, terrace lunches and afternoon café stops. The dining room serves daily from 9 a.m.–4 p.m.; the café opens at 7:30 a.m.

PURA VIDA MIAMI Coconut Grove

Pura Vida Miami’s Coconut Grove flagship brings the all-day café brand led by Omer and Jennifer Horev to Grand Avenue. Part of their Horev Hospitality portfolio, the concept combines casual service with a polished setting and a menu built around everyday breakfast, lunch and snack routines.

Options range from açaí bowls, smoothies and avocado toast to salads, wraps and substantial bowls, with 100% grass-fed and grass-finished steak among the protein choices. The location also houses Gelato by Pura Vida Miami, adding soft serve with customizable toppings, sauces and drizzles to the visit.

That variety makes it a natural fit for the Grove’s active, walkable lifestyle. It can be a morning coffee stop, a convenient lunch between errands or a place to pause with family over something sweet, giving the flagship a role beyond a single meal.

Address: 3034 Grand Avenue, Studio A, Miami, FL 33133.

Best for: Casual breakfast, quick lunches, post-workout smoothies and afternoon gelato.

CHÈVRE X ZIGGURAT

Chèvre x Ziggurat brings founder Mario Naar’s Miami cheese, wine and sandwich concept into the Ziggurat Coconut Grove Sales Center on Fuller Street. An affiliate of Think Hospitality, Chèvre has partnered with Allen Morris Co.’s ultra-luxury mixed-use development to combine a gourmet market and café experience with a preview of the project’s residential vision.

Artisan sandwiches, cheeses, charcuterie, caviar and curated wines shape the offering. La Italiana layers mortadella with whipped ricotta and truffled honey, while El Padron pairs Ibérico ham with Manchego. Basque cheesecake provides a sweet finish, and the market’s specialty pantry goods give guests something to take home. Wine and shared boards make this as appealing for a relaxed catch-up as for lunch.

The brand also drew attention with the Golden Glizzy, a $100 collaboration with Golden Goat Caviar and Ficelle Bakery. Rick Ross stopped by to sample the gold-and-caviar-topped hot dog. The creation combined Australian Wagyu with a croissant bun, crème fraîche, mascarpone, a 30-gram tin of caviar and edible gold flakes. Offered around the 2026 Miami Open and Miami Grand Prix, it was a limited-time special; check with Chèvre about any return.

For Coconut Grove, the draw is the meeting of neighborhood hospitality and new development in a setting that invites a casual visit. Fuller Street’s village atmosphere suits sandwiches, wine and conversation, giving diners a reason to explore the sales center beyond real estate.

Address: 3065 Fuller Street, Miami, FL 33133.

Best for: Artisan sandwich lunches, cheese and charcuterie, afternoon wine and casual early-evening gatherings.

Inter Miami CF and Pura Vida Miami Renew Partnership and Launch Exclusive Smoothie Collaboration

Inter Miami CF and Pura Vida Miami, the Miami-born all-day café and lifestyle brand, have renewed their partnership, continuing a collaboration that has brought the two South Florida organizations together across player nutrition, Academy programming and the fan experience since 2025. Pura Vida Miami will continue as the Club’s first ever Official Health Foods Partner, supporting athletes across every level of the organization, from the Academy to the First Team.

As part of the renewed partnership, Pura Vida Miami and Inter Miami CF will introduce a co-branded smoothie, available from September 2 through December 1 at select Pura Vida locations across South Florida. The limited-time creation blends strawberry, banana, collagen protein, coconut water, coconut yogurt, date, chia seeds and maple syrup, finished with a stripe of black sesame paste. Bringing the partnership beyond matchday and into Pura Vida Miami cafés, Miami Vice offers supporters a new way to experience the collaboration firsthand. The offering will provide supporters with a new way to experience the partnership beyond matchday while bringing together the identities of two Miami-born brands.

The renewed agreement continues a partnership that reaches across multiple levels of the Inter Miami CF organization. Since first joining forces in 2025 as the Club’s inaugural Official Health Foods Partner, Pura Vida Miami has supported athletes from the Academy to the First Team, providing player meals for the First and Second Teams and supporting the Club’s youth-focused Academy Nutrition and Healthy Nutrition Workshops. The partnership also extends to the matchday experience through suite catering, bringing Pura Vida Miami’s fresh, vibrant offerings directly to guests at Inter Miami CF home matches.

“Since joining forces in 2025, Pura Vida Miami has played a meaningful role across our Club, supporting player nutrition from the First Team and MLS NEXT Pro team to our Academy athletes,” said Euan Warren, Senior Vice President of Partnerships at Inter Miami CF. “It’s that connection across the Club and our shared commitment to creating unique experiences for our fans that makes this partnership so special. As two organizations born in South Florida, the next chapter of this partnership reflects our shared ambition to take the vibrant spirit of Miami to audiences and fans everywhere.”

“From the beginning, our partnership with Inter Miami CF has been about creating something meaningful that extends well beyond the field,” said Omer Horev, Co-Founder and CEO of Pura Vida Miami. “Over the past two years, we’ve become deeply engaged across the organization, from supporting First Team players to connecting with Academy athletes at an important stage in their development. This renewal gives us the opportunity to build on that foundation while bringing the relationship even closer to our guests through new experiences, including the launch of Miami Vice in our South Florida cafés. As two brands born in Miami and growing far beyond it, we share a strong sense of place, community and ambition, and we’re excited about everything we can continue to build together.”

The renewal comes during a period of significant national growth for Pura Vida Miami. When the partnership with Inter Miami CF was first announced in 2025, Pura Vida Miami had more than 30 locations across Florida and New York. Today, the brand has grown to more than 50 locations across Florida, New York, California, Maryland, Virginia, District of Columbia, and New Jersey, evolving from a single Miami Beach café into a multi-state lifestyle brand while remaining deeply rooted in the community where it was founded in 2012.

As Pura Vida Miami continues to grow beyond South Florida, its renewed partnership with Inter Miami CF reinforces the connection between two homegrown brands that share deep ties to the city and continue to bring Miami’s influence to audiences well beyond it.

Pura Vida Opens Coconut Grove Flagship Location With New Signature Gelato Concept

Pura Vida Miami, South Florida’s premier all-day cafe and wellness brand, has opened its first flagship location in the heart of the historic Coconut Grove neighborhood. Marking a major milestone for the Miami-born brand, the expansive 6,000-square-foot space at 3000 Grand Avenue is now Pura Vida Miami’s largest outpost yet and introduces the brand’s new gelato concept. This flagship location reflects years of thoughtful growth and intentional evolution, serving as a central hub for the community, where Pura Vida Miami’s signature experience is elevated in every detail—from design and layout to new culinary innovations.

“Our 34th and most stunning location yet, our Coconut Grove flagship brings an elevated design and the exclusive debut of our better-for-you gelato — a true celebration of everything we love. In designing Coconut Grove, we set out to create a space that feels both refined and effortless, where every detail — from the finishes to the flow — reflects the lifestyle that defines Pura Vida Miami and sets the tone for how the brand is evolving visually. Our goal is to cultivate environments that are warm, welcoming, and deeply connected to the communities we serve — and we hope to bring just that to the Coconut Grove neighborhood.” Said Jennifer Horev, Chief Brand Officer of Pura Vida Miami & Horev Hospitality.

As with all Pura Vida Miami locations, wellness goes beyond just nutritious food; it’s about creating an all-encompassing, exceptional dining experience that fuels both body and mind. This flagship location embodies the brand’s ethos with an elevated design, featuring natural stoneware and organic textures throughout—including travertine, Taj Mahal quartzite, and Venetian plaster—alongside custom furnishings and high-end finishes. Woven grass pendants add a soft, natural warmth from above, complementing the raw, tactile materials used throughout the space, while stone walls subtly evoke the raw, sculptural beauty of a Mediterranean grotto. The space is defined by soaring 30-foot ceilings and anchored by a large banyan tree situated at the heart of the store, reinforcing the connection to nature and the neighborhood’s native lush surroundings.

A new Market Display has also debuted at this location, highlighting Pura Vida Miami’s expanding product line—from clean protein bars and wellness-focused snacks to apparel, homeware, and signature scent. Designed by Chief Brand Officer Jennifer Horev, the flagship features an airy, open-floor layout that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor spaces—an inviting setting where guests can relax and connect at any time of day.

The Coconut Grove Flagship exclusively debuts the brand’s newest concept: Gelato by Pura Vida Miami. Rooted in tradition and developed with the same unwavering dedication to health, wellness, and clean ingredients, this “better-for-you” gelato honors the flavor and texture of traditional Italian gelato—crafted in-house, naturally sweetened with trehalose, entirely gluten-free, and free from refined sugars. Made fresh daily with consciously chosen, high-quality ingredients, every detail is designed with intention, allowing guests to indulge without compromise.

Signature flavors include Salted Pistachio, Chocolate Hazelnut, and Welcome to Miami—inspired by one of Pura Vida Miami’s beloved smoothies—served in house-made gluten-free waffle cones with pure, homemade chocolate. For those on the go, these signature flavors, along with Fior di Vanilla, will also be available in to-go pints, offering a taste of Gelato by Pura Vida Miami at any time of day.

The Coconut Grove neighborhood can anticipate Pura Vida Miami’s thoughtfully curated menu, featuring its famed All-Day Breakfast offerings—highlighting a range of avocado toasts and pasture-raised eggs, each paired perfectly with artisanal coffee, matcha drinks, and teas. Clean, chef-driven salads can be customized with high-quality proteins, alongside colorful wraps, sandwiches, and bowls with diverse bases and proteins to accommodate various dietary preferences. An array of superfood smoothies, cold-pressed juices, wellness shots, açaí bowls, and fresh-baked goods further enhance the menu, ensuring there’s something for everyone—whether vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free. With the launch of its flagship in Coconut Grove, Pura Vida Miami delivers its "Health is Happiness" philosophy that seamlessly blends nutritious dining with a vibrant, community-driven atmosphere.

“We are incredibly excited to debut our flagship location in Coconut Grove, a milestone that marks the evolution of not only our brand but also the city of Miami. We carefully chose this historic neighborhood as it is one of the fastest-growing areas of the city, and we found an incredible opportunity to be part of its transformation. Not only will this be our largest location to date, but it will also introduce our new gelato concept—a project we’ve worked tirelessly to perfect. This flagship will serve as the heartbeat of the brand, seamlessly blending our values of health, community, and sustainability into a space where friends and neighbors can gather, nourish themselves, and enjoy an elevated dining experience.” Said Omer Horev, CEO and Founder of Pura Vida Miami & Horev Hospitality.

Founded by husband-and-wife duo Omer and Jennifer Horev, the brand was born out of their need for healthy, all-day dining options—a vision that has since fueled its expansion to over 30 locations across South Florida and into New York. What started as a small passion project has transformed into a wellness empire, redefining how communities view healthy dining—prioritizing high-quality ingredients, accessibility, and an environment that supports a balanced lifestyle—all while creating over 1,500 careers across South Florida and most recently, New York. Since opening in 2012, Pura Vida Miami has grown from a single café in the South of Fifth neighborhood into a leader in South Florida’s health and wellness space.
