Miami is one of the best cities in the country for healthy eating, and breakfast is no exception. Whether you want a high protein meal after a workout, a gluten free option or a breakfast packed with fresh ingredients, the city is full of cafes serving nourishing dishes that do not sacrifice flavor.
From vegetable based arepas to avocado toasts, acai bowls and protein packed breakfast sandwiches, these are the 10 best healthy breakfasts in Miami worth waking up for, across Coral Gables, Brickell, Coconut Grove and the beach.
1. Healthy Arepas at GROU Coffee
Healthy breakfasts do not have to be boring. At GROU Coffee, one of the most unique breakfast options is the Healthy Arepa, available in two naturally colorful varieties: plantain or beet.

It is a protein packed breakfast, a gluten conscious option and a healthier way to start the day. Located in Coral Gables, GROU Coffee was also recognized as Best Coffee Shop in Coral Gables 2026. Browse the full GROU menu or settle in at the coworking space.
