The 3 Best Coffee Shops in Coconut Grove (According to Ally & AJ)
If there’s one thing we’ve learned while showing Coconut Grove homes for sale, it’s that every great real estate day starts with an even better cup of coffee. Whether we’re meeting clients, planning a renovation project, or simply taking a mid-day break, the Grove’s coffee scene fuels our days and reflects the neighborhood’s relaxed, creative vibe. Here are our top three favorite coffee shops in Coconut Grove, the ones we keep coming back to again and again.
1. Navi Coffee & Flowers
There’s something special about Navi Coffee & Flowers. It’s more than a coffee shop, it’s a little sanctuary right in the heart of the Grove. Located at 3213 Grand Ave, Navi blends the aroma of freshly roasted coffee with the scent of locally sourced blooms. You’ll often find us here before an open house, sipping on an iced lavender latte and picking up a bouquet for our listing photos.
What we love most: it’s quintessentially Coconut Grove. It's beautiful, creative, and community-driven. For more about this unique spot, check out Miami New Times’ feature on Navi.
Our order: Ally gets the honey tahini latte and AJ a classic iced latte with a dash of honey.
Vibe: Bright, airy, and perfectly Instagrammable
Perfect for: Morning coffee runs and casual client chats
2. Emissary Café
Emissary Café on Mary Street brings a stylish yet down-to-earth energy to the Grove. This all-day café doubles as a wine bar, which means you can start your day with a cappuccino and end it with a glass of rosé. The team here focuses on locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, making it a great lunch or brunch spot between showings.
We especially love the cozy corners, perfect for laptop work or quick real estate catch-ups. If you’re exploring the Coconut Grove neighborhood, this is a must-stop café to soak in the area’s easygoing sophistication.
Our order: Ally gets a classic hot cappuccino here and AJ his usual iced latte with a dash of honey. We also LOVE their mortadella stracciatella sandwich.
Vibe: Modern, social, and effortlessly cool
Perfect for: Midday meetings and neighborhood scouting (If you can find a table!)
3. Panther Coffee – Coconut Grove
A true Miami original, Panther Coffee has been defining the city’s specialty coffee scene for years. Their Coconut Grove outpost on Main Highway feels like a local hub, you’ll see everyone from entrepreneurs to artists to Grove families stopping by throughout the day. The coffee is always exceptional, roasted in small batches and served with care.
We often meet clients here for informal real estate chats. The outdoor seating is shaded and breezy, making it one of the best people-watching spots in the neighborhood.
Our order: Ally enjoys their special seasonal coffee drink and AJ his classic latte.
