Best Brunch in Coconut Grove: 11 Spots, Ranked by Google Rating

The best brunch in Coconut Grove depends on what time you plan to sit down. If you want the highest rated tables, Bayshore Club Bar & Grill and CRAFT Coconut Grove both hold a 4.9 on Google, with 10,598 and 2,778 reviews respectively. If you want brunch before 8 AM, the list narrows to Greenstreet Cafe and Chug's Diner. And if you want brunch on a Tuesday instead of a Sunday, a good half of the neighborhood is out, because a big chunk of the Grove's weekend service does not start until 11 AM. Here is the full shortlist with addresses, hours and Google ratings, so you can pick by clock and budget instead of scrolling photos.

Which Coconut Grove brunch spots have the best Google ratings?

Ratings and review counts are the one thing you can compare across every restaurant on a list like this without taking anyone's word for it. A 4.9 built on ten thousand reviews and a 4.9 built on thirty are very different animals, so both numbers matter. Here are the eleven Coconut Grove tables, straight from Google.

• Bayshore Club Bar & Grill, 3391 Pan American Dr: 4.9 on Google with 10,598 reviews. Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM.
• CRAFT Coconut Grove, 3324 Virginia St: 4.9 with 2,778 reviews. Open every day, 8 AM to 10 PM.
• Chug's Diner, 3444 Main Hwy Ste 21: 4.8 with 5,552 reviews. Doors at 7:30 AM every day.
• Level 6 Rooftop Restaurant Miami, 3480 Main Hwy, 6th floor: 4.8 with 3,415 reviews. Saturday and Sunday from 11 AM.
• Narbona Coconut Grove, 3015 Grand Ave Ste 116: 4.8 with 2,947 reviews. Open daily from 8 AM.
• AVA MediterrAegean Coconut Grove, 2889 McFarlane Rd: 4.8 with 2,511 reviews. Saturday and Sunday, 11:30 AM to 3 PM.
• Grand Public | Kitchen & Bar, 3015 Grand Ave Ste 201: 4.8 with 272 reviews. Saturday and Sunday from 11 AM.
• Krüs Kitchen, 3413 Main Hwy: 4.7 with 530 reviews. Saturday and Sunday, 11 AM to 3 PM.
• Mayfair Grill, 3000 Florida Ave: 4.7 with 378 reviews. Saturday and Sunday, 11 AM to 3 PM.
• Greenstreet Cafe, 3468 Main Hwy: 4.5 with 5,448 reviews. Open from 7 AM every day.
• Le Bouchon Du Grove, 3430 Main Hwy: 4.5 with 948 reviews. Sunday 8:30 AM to 3 PM, and Tuesday to Saturday from 11:30 AM.

One more sits just past the Grove line and is hard to leave off any brunch list in this part of Miami. Bistro Café, at 4155 Laguna St in Coral Gables, holds a 5.0 on Google across 14,401 reviews, and Google categorizes it as a brunch restaurant rather than a general restaurant. It opens at 8 AM every day, closing at 4 PM Monday to Friday and 5 PM on Saturday and Sunday.

Where can you get brunch early in Coconut Grove?

Early is the Grove's weak spot. Most of the neighborhood builds its service around a late morning start, so if you are the kind of person who wants eggs at 7:30 AM, your options are specific.

• 7 AM, every day: Greenstreet Cafe, 3468 Main Hwy. Google describes it as a longtime cafe with a patio serving American food all day, plus happy hour specials.
• 7:30 AM, every day: Chug's Diner, 3444 Main Hwy Ste 21.
• 8 AM, every day: CRAFT Coconut Grove and Narbona Coconut Grove, plus Bistro Café over in Coral Gables.
• 8:30 AM, Sunday only: Le Bouchon Du Grove, 3430 Main Hwy, which Google describes as a small enduring bistro serving traditional French cooking and a wide wine list.
• 10 AM, weekends: Bayshore Club Bar & Grill, 3391 Pan American Dr.

On a weekend, everything else on the list opens at 11 AM or later: Level 6, Grand Public, Mayfair Grill and Krüs Kitchen at 11 AM, and AVA at 11:30 AM. Worth knowing before you drive over at nine on a Saturday with a hungry table.

Is brunch in Coconut Grove a weekend only thing?

Mostly, yes, at least in the sense that most people mean by brunch. Six places here are open seven days a week and already serving by midday: CRAFT (8 AM to 10 PM), Narbona (from 8 AM), Greenstreet Cafe (from 7 AM), Chug's Diner (from 7:30 AM), Bayshore Club (11:30 AM on weekdays, 10 AM on weekends) and Bistro Café in Coral Gables (from 8 AM). Level 6, Grand Public and AVA are open seven days too, but on a weekday they are afternoon and evening only: Grand Public from 3 PM, Level 6 from 5 PM, AVA from 5:30 or 6 PM depending on the night.

The rest are weekend propositions for a midday meal. Krüs Kitchen serves an 11 AM to 3 PM window on Saturday and Sunday only, opens at 5:30 PM Tuesday to Friday, and is closed Monday. AVA does 11:30 AM to 3 PM on Saturday and Sunday and is evening only the rest of the week. Mayfair Grill runs 11 AM to 3 PM on Saturday and Sunday, adds a dinner service from 5 PM Tuesday to Saturday, and is closed Monday. Level 6 and Grand Public both start at 11 AM on Saturday and Sunday. Le Bouchon Du Grove has the only real morning brunch of the group, and only on Sunday, 8:30 AM to 3 PM: Tuesday to Saturday it opens at 11:30 AM, and Monday it is closed.

So a Wednesday brunch in the Grove is really a question of which all-day kitchens are running, not which brunch menus are out.

Which Coconut Grove brunch restaurants are closed on Mondays?

Three of them. Krüs Kitchen, Le Bouchon Du Grove and Mayfair Grill are all closed Monday. Everything else on this list is open seven days, though several do not open until the afternoon or the evening on a Monday, which functionally rules them out for a morning plan.

If Monday is your day off, the reliable set is Greenstreet Cafe from 7 AM, Chug's Diner from 7:30 AM, CRAFT and Narbona from 8 AM, Bistro Café from 8 AM, and Bayshore Club from 11:30 AM.

How much does brunch in Coconut Grove cost?

Google publishes a price level for most of these, and it separates the neighborhood into three clear tiers.

• Moderate: CRAFT Coconut Grove, Narbona, Chug's Diner, Greenstreet Cafe, Grand Public, and Bistro Café in Coral Gables.
• Expensive: Level 6 Rooftop and Mayfair Grill.
• Very expensive: Krüs Kitchen and AVA MediterrAegean.

Google does not list a price level for Bayshore Club Bar & Grill or Le Bouchon Du Grove, so treat those two as unknowns and check the menu before you commit a table of six.

Which Grove brunches let you stay all afternoon?

This is the detail that decides a lot of Sundays, and the hours make it simple. Krüs Kitchen, AVA, Mayfair Grill and Le Bouchon Du Grove all end their midday service at 3 PM sharp, so those are meals with a built-in exit. Bistro Café stays open to 5 PM on weekends. CRAFT runs continuously to 10 PM daily, Narbona to 10 PM Sunday through Thursday and 11 PM on Friday and Saturday, and Greenstreet Cafe to midnight Sunday through Thursday and 2 AM on Friday and Saturday.

If your brunch has a habit of turning into a three hour table, the all-day kitchens are the safer booking.

Coconut Grove or Coral Gables: which is better for brunch?

They solve different problems. Coconut Grove concentrates a lot of high rated restaurants inside a few walkable blocks of Main Highway and Grand Avenue, and several of its rooms are built around the destination meal, with weekend only windows and later start times. Coral Gables sits just west, and the one Gables address on this list shows the other model: Bistro Café runs 8 AM to 4 PM Monday to Friday and 8 AM to 5 PM on weekends, which is a weekday habit more than a Sunday event.

If you are weighing both sides of the line, our guide to the best brunch in Coral Gables covers the Gables side with the same ratings and hours format, and the broader Miami and Coral Gables brunch roundup is the one to open when you are willing to drive. And if the actual mission is coffee and the food is secondary, start with where to find good coffee in Coconut Grove instead, because the best brunch room and the best espresso are rarely the same address.

Where do you go when brunch turns into a work session?

Sometimes the plan is not really brunch. It is a laptop, a long table, and something to eat that does not require a reservation. That is the gap GROU Coffee fills, just west of the Grove at 4100 Salzedo St STE 5 in Coral Gables.

GROU is a specialty coffee shop with an all-day brunch kitchen, a single location where the coffee shop and the cowork space share one room, rated 4.8 on Google with 1,095 reviews. The kitchen runs all day rather than on a weekend brunch window, so an avocado toast, a Super Açaí bowl or a lox bagel is as available at 2 PM on a Tuesday as it is at nine on a Saturday. Coffee runs from espresso and cortados to cold brew and a Cuban colada, with matcha lattes and fresh juices for the people who are not drinking coffee that day.

Hours are Monday to Friday 7:30 AM to 6 PM, Saturday and Sunday 8:30 AM to 3 PM. Phone is +1 (305) 639-8218 if you want to ask about a table for a group before you head over.
