Best Coffee and Matcha Shops in Miami

When you need a boost in Greater Miami and Miami Beach, there are plenty of high-quality coffee shops serving top-notch roasts. But coffee isn’t the only pick-me-up around town. Due to the many matcha benefits, this pure-green power tea has also made its mark. More locals and visitors alike are integrating matcha into their day.

Let’s map out the perfect guide of the best coffee shops and matcha cafes in Miami, so you can spend less time scrolling and more time sipping. 

Panther Coffee

Wynwood, Coconut Grove, Mimo and Little Haiti

Known for its fine, high-quality beans sourced from around the world and roasted in small batches, bold drinkers go for black coffee, red eyes, black eyes and nitro cold brew at Panther Coffee's flagship in Wynwood. There are 3 other locations in Coconut Grove, MiMo and Little Haiti. Cuban coffee lovers can order a cortadito, while hybrid tea-coffee aficionados appreciate the Miami Fog (a take on the London Fog), with Earl Grey, espresso and oat milk. There are 9 organic teas on the menu, along with both chai and turmeric lattes, and last but not least, matcha. 

Known to most as the best coffee in Miami, pair your charged Panther cup with a variety of gourmet pastries, or some breakfast nosh – egg sandwiches, biscuits, burritos and quiches will do the trick. 

Sunshine Coffee

Miami Beach

Signature iced coffees, frozen coffees, iced matchas and inclusive community vibes are at the core of yellow-hued Sunshine Coffee in Miami Beach. The classic Miami Iced includes a double shot of espresso, your choice of milk and cold foam, and other selections have infused oat milks (like Banana Baby, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Milk & Cookies). Plus, the Little Miracle with cold brew, tahini and oat milk is a frappe-style treat. 

The Baby Blue Vanilla Matcha Latte features organic butterfly pea flower and toasted vanilla with a strawberry cold foam, while the Vanilla Matcha Miracle is another frappe-style take. There’s all-day breakfast, a variety of toasts, mini sandos, breakfast tacos and fresh-baked pastries, including a Strawberry Matcha Brownie and a Pancake Cake.

Honey Veil

South Miami

With its brick interiors and industrial lighting, Honey Veil in South Miami set out to transport Japanese cafe culture and flavor (matcha powders are first-harvest, giving them utmost authenticity) to Miami. Order a coffee latte with two shots of espresso, your choice of milk and a specialty syrup if you please, but matcha tea dominates around here. You’ll find matcha flights, lattes and spritzes, plus varietals with mizu, yuzu and mango, and even the house-favorite Banana Bread Latte has matcha. Baked goodies range from traditional (lemon blueberry scones, carrot loaf and lemon poppy seed loaf) to inventive (sourdough chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon rolls and bacon scones).  

Heal Café

Midtown Miami 

Japanese minimalism inspires the tranquil ambience at Heal Café in Midtown, which focuses on connecting mind, body, soul, food and people. Both coffee and matcha are equally matched here. The coffee styles range from Italian and Cuban to health-inspired mushroom coffee, along with a lengthy iced latte menu (Dubai, Dirty Chai, Espresso Orange, Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso and more), with a handful of fun syrups to add a custom touch. Five signature ceremonial grade matcha offerings grace the menu, including the Lavender Ube Cloud Matcha, Spirulina Cloud Matcha and Banana Cloud Matcha. The bites are wholesome and nutritious, from avocado toasts to feel-good bowls.

BIGFACE

Miami Design District

Jimmy Butler’s flagship BIGFACE in the Miami Design District is a chic coffee corner with cafe vibes, apparel and gear. Coffee aficionados have their pick of espressos, cortados, cappuccinos and lattes. For something unique, try the Black Sesame Latte either hot or iced, or there’s filtered drip, cold brew, pour over or a BIGFACE flight. Iced matchas are all the rage, especially with a strawberry infusion (you can also choose from vanilla, salted caramel and lavender), plus there’s hojicha (roasted green tea) and spiced Jamaican tea, among others. The croissants and danishes at BIGFACE Coffee Miami are the ideal complement. 

Navi Coffee & Flowers

Coconut Grove 

Handcrafted bouquets bring brightness to minimalist Navi Coffee & Flowers, a quaint coffee shop in the Coconut Grove neighborhood. For coffee, you can expect all the usual players or sweeten the deal with a Honey Tahini Latte. For matcha lovers, you can order a traditional tea, latte, yuzu lemonade or with coconut. Seasonal matchas (like apple) are also in rotation. Freshly baked cookies, Persian Pistachio Cake and Lemon Olive Oil Cake are a few of the front-runners, but the 4-pack of Wake Energy Balls paired with your caffeinated cup will jumpstart the day. 

Grove Grocer

Coconut Grove

A mini family-owned grocer in Coconut Grove, Grove Grocer might offer small-batch coffee, but locals keep coming back for the matcha drinks. Pairing up with local vendors is Grove’s specialty, so expect specialty milk from local partners fused into The Classic matcha – which has Vermont maple syrup and salted corn milk, or The Cereal, an iced matcha with cereal milk, vanilla bean, sweet cream and coffee. The Rocky’s Matcha White Chocolate Cookies are the perfect match, and the pillowy financiers (like madeleines), repurpose the pulp from house made almond milk, and may be the coffee dunk-friendly treat you seek. 

Azure Matcha

Aventura

Azure Matcha, a matcha-only traveling pop-up that hosts residencies around Miami, is currently located at Friday Florals at The Abbey in Aventura. With fun and funky seasonal and rotating flower-inspired flavors, discerning and well-versed matcha regulars will appreciate Azure’s unique take on the traditional sip. The Hibiscus Island Refresher is a balance of sweet and tart, while the Violet Daydream Latte blends blueberry with vanilla bean and citrus, topped with vanilla- and ube-infused foam and a sprinkle of dried lavender. Currently, Azure is using its own first-harvest authentic matcha from Kyoto to uphold its intentional high-quality mission.
