The best breakfast spots in Miami
Where to have breakfast on a weekday

Keep this guide handy when you’re looking for the best breakfast spots in Miami.
Miami needs more breakfast spots. However, this list is solid. It covers Venezuelan, American, Cuban, and even Australian dishes for the morning.
Maybe breakfast is underrated. Either way, we think this list will come in handy when you want to start your morning with a hearty meal. It could also be a great list for when you have friends from out of town and want to take them out for breakfast. Some of these are even great for an informal morning meeting.
This is not a brunch list, although some of these spots are great for the weekend. We will point out which ones.
TO BE DETERMINED
Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 2240 Southwest 32nd Ave
To Be Determined is a tiny, cozy and ever-evolving restaurant concept brought to life by Chef Richard Ortega of The Maiz Project and Chef Jhonny Delgado of Sandoches. Located in Coral Way, this dynamic dining experience was one of the best new restaurants to open in 2025 and offers a rotating menu that changes every two weeks, so that there’s always something new and exciting to try.
Recently they’ve started doing breakfast at To Be Determined. It’s a small menu that changes as well. They offer speciality drinks like the Moonlight Mile with espresso, yuzu, tonic, and mint syrup, and the Loveless with clarified coffee, coconut milk, strawberry kolita, and Thai tea foam. For breakfast we loved the pork belly arepa with Korean pork belly, acevichado, and cebolla criolla, and the mushroom toast with blue oyster mushrooms and scrambled eggs au poivre.

TINA IN THE GABLES
Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 4700 S Le Jeune Rd
Our favorite all-day breakfast, brunch, and lunch spot in Coral Gables comes from the creators of Miami Slice and La Latina. Next to Shadow Wagyu in a cozy strip mall, you’ll find Tina in the Gables—La Latina’s more refined, posh cousin.
At Tina’s, you’re getting simple, homestyle cooking infused with a Latin twist. Must-try dishes include the Sunny Side Duck, featuring two sunny-side-up duck eggs, smoked duck breast “bacon,” pâté, and country loaf, as well as the Tuna Melt, served on sourdough with Tina’s tuna salad, tomato, sharp cheddar, and a side of house coleslaw. Don’t miss the seeded arepas, like the Coral Queen (Reina), filled with rotisserie chicken and avocado salad—a lighter take on the classic Reina Pepiada, made without mayo. If you’re craving something sweet, try Tina’s French Toast—made with brioche, salted butter, maple, and a hint of orange zest—it’s easily one of the best we’ve ever had.

EMISSARY CAFE
Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Address: 3308 Mary St
From Washington DC to Miami, Emissary has quickly become a favorite in Coconut Grove for breakfast, lunch, and quick coffee runs. It’s our go-to spot for weekday meetings, solo outings, and early breakfasts after the gym. We love the simplicity of the long bar and the lighting of the space, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere.
And can we take a moment to say that although this spot gets busy, everyone here is so nice, cool, and collected? If you’re looking for a beverage, we’d go with the iced cappuccino or the Motorcycle Matcha latte both with pistachio milk. Pair it with a croissant from Flour and Weirdoughs, a local favorite known for the best croissants in Miami. If you’re dining in, don’t miss the Bfast Charcuterie aka Protein Plate, featuring Domaselo protein bread, smoked salmon, pasture-raised eggs, and a variety of tasty fixings.

H&H BAGELS
Neighborhood: Pinecrest
Address: 11311 S Dixie Hwy
An iconic NYC bagel spot just opened in Pinecrest. H&H Bagels has been making classic New York bagels since 1972, and you’ve probably seen them on Seinfeld and Sex and the City. Our faves are the Nova Salmon with the works and the Bacon, Egg and Cheese.
TRUE LOAF BAKERY
Neighborhood: South Beach
Address: Sunset Harbour Shops, 1894 Bay Rd
The long-standing and most delicious bakery in Miami Beach. True Loaf is that easy weekend move after a walk around Sunset Harbour or a workout class when you want something good, simple, and done right. Something about it gives Hampton’s energy.
Go for the BLT if you’re in sandwich mode, the ham and cheese croissant if you’re keeping it classic, and always add something sweet. The Kouign Amann is a must, and the banana bread and chocolate chip walnut cookie never miss. We also love the Raspberry Cream Cheese Square.

FAÇADE BAKERY
Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 271 Giralda Ave
Façade is a neighborhood bakery that brought a little youth back to the Coral Gables dining scene. Bookshelves, a big wooden communal table, a marble bar, and an open space that feels social on purpose.
We go for breakfast. Order the Spicy Onion Toast with caramelized onions, folded eggs, chili oil, and sourdough. The Yogurt Bowl with coconut yogurt, cured papaya, housemade jam and granola, tahini, honey, and marigolds is a lighter move. Dippy Soldiers with two soft-boiled eggs and sourdough make you feel slightly British.
Do not skip the drinks. They’re fun and almost count as their own meal. Try the Tira Missyu Latte with espresso, marigold vanilla syrup, salted soft cream, and cacao powder, or the Corn Flake Matcha with corn milk, marigold vanilla syrup, cold foam, and corn flakes.
Weekends get busy, and there’s usually a line, so go early. No laptops allowed, which we love. This is a spot to actually sit, talk, and be present.

FLOUR & WEIRDOUGHS
Neighborhood: Key Biscayne
Address: 19 Harbor Dr
Flour & Weirdoughs, located in Key Biscayne, offers one of the top brunches in Miami. This fan favorite spot is where you’re going before or after the beach with your friends or family on the weekends.
Flour and Weirdoughs is a rustic bakery that mills its flour in-house. All their sourdough breads are organic and filled with nutrients. If you’re looking for a ready-to-go breakfast item, we’d go for their eggs deep danish with eggs, bacon, and cheese; a simple Basic AF Croissant (yes, that’s the name), ham and cheese croissant, or their famous It’s brisket b*tch croissant named after Britney Spears that comes with provolone, grain mustard, cured brisket (they cure it in-house for 11 days). And let’s just say, this is our favorite croissant in Miami.
If you have time to sit and enjoy a full meal, try their all-day breakfast/brunch menu from Wednesday through Sunday from 8 AM to 2 PM. They have some of the best bread we’ve ever had in Miami, so of course we love their Avocado Toast with baby arugula, fresh tomato, pickled shallots, and grated pecorino. We also love The Jessa sandwich with soft scrambled egg, smoked gouda, caramelized onions, avocado, chipotle mayo, and crunchy chow mein noodles, on a homemade brioche bun. Our favorite eggy dish is the Turkish Eggs with garlic Greek yogurt topped with smoky chili butter, cilantro, and & sunny-side-up eggs served with toast and a lemon wedge. If you’re more into something sweet, go with the Croissant French Toast with whipped cream and drizzled berry compote.
CARACAS BAKERY
Neighborhood: Various locations
Caracas Bakery is a solid casual breakfast or post-gym brunch spot with a modern space softened by warm wood details that give subtle Japanese bakery energy. They’ve built a loyal following in MiMo and Coral Gables and just opened a new location in the Design District.
The menu pulls from Venezuelan and French traditions, so expect artisan loaves, sweet and savory croissants, pastries, toasts, eggs, and Cachitos (a must). If you’re ordering, go for the Breakfast Platter, Golfeados, Mushroom Toast, Merguez Toast, Turkey Club, or the Pastelitos de Carne. The B.E.C with soft scrambled eggs, thick-cut bacon, and cheddar on their sweet potato bun is another strong move.
There’s limited indoor seating, so come early if you want to dine in—especially if you’re after cachitos. They do sell out.

EL BAGEL
Neighborhood: MiMo | Coconut Grove
Address: 6910 Biscayne Blvd | 3015 Grand Ave #122
El Bagel is where you go for freshly baked, hand-rolled bagels and stacked bagel sandwiches. They’re open 8 AM–2 PM (closed Tuesdays), and they sell out often, so the earlier you go, the better. Pre-order if you don’t feel like waiting in line.
It’s also a strong post-workout move when your body is clearly asking for carbs. Grab a dozen to take home or eat outside if the weather permits.
Keep it simple with a salt bagel and scallion cream cheese (vegan option available), or go for the Lox Supreme with locally smoked lox, cucumber, dill, pickled onion, tomato, capers, and cream cheese. The Classic Pastrami with 18-hour smoked pastrami, housemade coleslaw, Swiss, and Thousand Island is another solid order. And then the other day, we had an open faced pumpernickel bagel with tomato, scallion cream cheese, capers and crispy thin papitas (similar to the ones you would add to your pepito or hot dog) With locations in MiMo and Coconut Grove (CocoWalk), this is Miami’s favorite bagel shop for a reason.

CHUG’S DINER
Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Address: 3444 Main Hwy Suite 21
This Coconut Grove spot is a diner for Miami. And yes, it includes a ventanita. If you’re going with one other person, the best seat in the house is at the bar. If it’s a group we’d sit inside at one of their booths or outside for people-watching. You can pretty much stop by Chug’s at any time of the day for an all-day breakfast experience. It’s also a great option for Saturday and Sunday (breakfast or brunch).
This is the meal you deserve when craving a hearty breakfast, it’s also a great spot for a work meeting.
Order the best Cast Iron Pancake (these may take up to 25 mins to come out of the kitchen), slow-cooked in clarified butter and warm maple syrup with an order of Beltran’s Bacon, thick steak cut bacon with smoked maple syrup.
Chug’s is open Monday and Tuesday from 7:30 AM – 3 PM, Wednesday – Saturday from 7:30 AM – 10 PM, and Sunday from 7:30 AM – 7 PM.

ENRIQUETA’S SANDWICH SHOP
Neighborhood: Edgewater
Address: 186 NE 29th St
Enriqueta’s Sandwich Shop located in the not-so-crowded area of Wynwood is a full-fledged restaurant serving Cuban breakfast. You can take a seat inside or order at the ventanita. It usually has a small, manageable line and your wait time will be dependent on your order. You’re getting a cafe con leche, tostada, and freshly squeezed orange juice. And depending on our mood, we’d grab a croqueta.
We love this spot for takeout. It is a great place to hit before work. If you’re hungover, it will also do the trick. Stop by if you have just the right amount of energy to get off your car in sweats, order, receive food, and crawl back into your bed.
Enriqueta’s is open from 7 AM – 2:45 PM and 3 PM – 9 PM Monday – Friday. On Saturday they open until 2 PM and on Sunday they are closed.

MADRUGA BAKERY
Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 1430 S Dixie Hwy STE 117
Madruga is a neighborhood bakery that does artisan bread, rustic pastries, breakfast, lunch, and really good coffee in a cozy space that feels like someone’s countryside kitchen. It’s casual, charming, and always busy.
The lattes come in oversized cups (we’re not complaining), and it’s the kind of place you go for a slow weekend breakfast with family, a post-workout coffee with a friend, or a quick to-go stop if you’re in a rush. Expect a line, but it moves fast.
For savory, the Madruga egg sandwich is a must: Niman Ranch bacon, sautéed greens, coastal cheddar, a runny organic egg, and fresh herb aioli on their onion poppy roll. For something sweet, go for guava and cheese danish, chocolate hazelnut croissant, monkey bread, or the mini polenta cake. The ricotta and jam toast on their Sonora toast with homemade ricotta and berries (or tomato jam) is another strong move.
They’re open Wednesday–Friday from 8 AM–3 PM and Saturday–Sunday from 8 AM–2 PM. Tables turn quickly during peak hours, so it’s not an all-day work spot. Pro tip: go closer to closing. Sometimes the team hands out leftover baked goods, and you might leave with brownies or cookies you didn’t plan on.

THREEFOLD CAFE
Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 141 Giralda Ave
In our eyes, an Aussie breakfast at Threefold Cafe is great with friends, after the gym, for a work meeting, or when you want to have breakfast outside.
Stop by for an iced latte, a Sausage McScharpy with a fried egg, an Italian sausage patty, cheese, caramelized onion, and tomato jam on a bun. They also have a whole avocado toast section with 5 different options. We recommend Il Piu Italiano with stracciatella, caponata, herbs, pesto, and breadcrumbs or the Moroccan Spice—avo mix with garbanzo, harissa, mint, and fried quinoa. Threefold Cafe is open Monday – Thursday from 7:30 AM – 3 PM and Friday – Sunday from 7:30 AM – 4 PM.

UNDER THE MANGO TREE
Neighborhood: South Beach
Address: 737 5th St
Under the Mango Tree is a cozy family-owned Miami Beach spot to get one of the most amazing açai bowls. There’s literally a mango tree inside. You can shop in bulk and if you bring your bowl or cup, they’ll give you a discount. It’s loved by many and a great place to start your day or before heading to the beach on the weekend. We recommend the chocolate açai bowl blended with raw organic cacao and banana; topped with granola, bananas, cacao nibs, cinnamon, coconut nectar, and coconut flakes.
Under the Mango Tree is open Monday to Friday from 8 AM – 6 PM, Saturday from 9 AM – 6 PM, and Sunday from 9 AM – 5 PM.

TINTA Y CAFE
Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 1315 Ponce de Leon
Tinta y Cafe is a modern coffee house and ventanita with a location in Coral Gables and Miami Shores. If you care about Michelin accolades, they’ve received four consecutive Bib Gourmands.
If you’re in a hurry grab your coffee, croquetica, and sandwich through the ventanita. If you have time to sit and chill after a workout for breakfast or brunch, we recommend you grab a table inside.
We love their sandwich selection (even for breakfast), our favorite is the Guajiro. You can have it with pork or chicken and it comes with Swiss cheese, sauteed onions, and drenched in a delicious mojo de la casa. The iced coffee with a croqueta, is the Miami duo you need. Go with the spinach or ham croqueta.
Tinta y Cafe located in Coral Gables is open Monday – Friday from 8 AM – 5 PM. On Saturday and Sunday, they close at 4 PM.

LA LATINA
Neighborhood: Midtown
Address: 3509 NE 2nd Ave
La Latina, located in Midtown, is our favorite stop for all things arepa and tequeños. And after a workout or a wild night out, that may be exactly what you’re craving. We recommend the Pelua with shredded beef and cheese or the Rumbera with pork and cheese. Make sure you get an order of tequeños or patacones
La Latina is open from 9 AM to 10 PM, every day except on Friday and Saturday they close at 4 AM.

MAJESTIC PORTUGUESE BAKEHOUSE
Neighborhood: Coral Way
Address: 3340 Coral Way
If you’re looking for your not-so-typical Latin bakery, check out the Majestic Portuguese Bakehouse located on Coral Way; Part Portuguese (yes, they sell pastel de nata & pão de queijo) and part Venezuelan (cachitos are also available). They have limited seating outside or you can sit inside with the AC, mesmerizing the pastry display.
The menu includes natural juices, scrambled egg dishes, salads, and sandwiches. We recommend going for an informal breakfast or brunch and trying the Prego Traditional No Pão, Portugues for “Nailed” Steak Sandwich. This popular sandwich in Portugal is a rare find in Miami. The steak is marinated in garlic and is presented on freshly baked bread.
It’s a great spot to bring friends on weekdays and weekends. They are open everyday from 7:30 AM – 7 PM (on Sunday they close at 6 PM).
