GROU Named One of the Best Coffee Shops in Miami by Miami New Times

Big news: We made the "Best of Miami" List!


here’s no buzz quite like the one you get from a perfectly pulled espresso—except, perhaps, the buzz of seeing your name in the city’s most iconic publication. We are thrilled to share that Miami New Times has officially named GROU Coffee + Cowork one of the best coffee shops in Miami.

For a local spot like ours, this is "huge." It’s a testament to the community we’ve built together in the heart of Coral Gables and the passion we pour into every single cup.

Why the New Times Loves GROU

The report highlights what our regulars have known for a while: we aren't just another cafe. We are a specialty coffeehouse and a coworking space hybrid designed for those who want to "lock in" and get things done.

The New Times specifically gave a nod to our commitment to quality, noting that we’ve traded the "sad prepackaged muffins" of the world for fresh-baked artisanal pastries and locally sourced treats.

What Sets Our Brew Apart

Being recognized as a top Miami coffee destination isn't just about the vibes; it's about the craft.

  • The Beans: We proudly serve locally roasted Escondido Specialty Coffee, ensuring that every latte and flat white supports Florida's own roasting talent.
  • The Mission: Every purchase at GROU is a vote for the community. As part of our story, we focus on giving back and supporting the creators who make Miami unique.
  • The Space: From our high-speed Wi-Fi to our boutique office environment, we provide the perfect sanctuary for entrepreneurs and freelancers alike.

Come Celebrate with Us

Whether you’re a long-time regular or a first-timer who found us through the New Times list, there’s a seat at the table for you. We’ve built this space to be your "third home"—halfway between the office and your living room.
