Wander through Coconut Grove on a weekend and you’ll see sidewalk tables filled with families bonding over towering stacks of pancakes, and friends sharing plates and toasting with bright brunch cocktails as they replay the previous night’s activities. With more breakfast and brunch spots in a five-block radius than many entire neighborhoods, Coconut Grove is a go-to destination for weekend brunch. From must-have breakfast items and killer cocktails to creative dishes you’ll find only in “The Grove,” take your brunch bunch to these top spots and plan to stay awhile.

Glass & Vine

A major part of Coconut Grove’s charm is its lush tropical surroundings, and brunch at Glass & Vine offers diners a chance to soak it all in while savoring delicious food. Nestled in Peacock Park, this all-glass, indoor-outdoor eatery is an ideal place to have brunch on a sunny day. You’ll hear glasses clinking as diners toast and sip sangria, Bloody Marys and mimosas while devouring shareable plates of Florida- and Latin-inspired cuisine. Start with chorizo and Manchego cheese croquettes or a one-of-a-kind watermelon salad, then dive into a Thai salad with grilled ahi tuna or avocado toast with crushed pepitas and cotija cheese. For something heartier, take your pick from such decadent dishes as cornflake-encrusted French toast with guava jam, fried chicken thighs with Belgian waffles and eggs, or a Black angus brisket and short rib beef burger topped with aged cheddar cheese, applewood bacon and chipotle mayo. The best part? Dogs are welcome too!

Planta Queen

Located in the CocoWalk shopping and entertainment complex, Planta Queen is a hit with vegan and carnivorous brunchers alike – they all crave its flavorful plant-based dishes. Brunch runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Those with a sweet tooth will want to try cinnamon buns with chai icing or French toast with a cornflake crumble and berry compote. A popular savory option is the decadent truffled scramble with shaved hearts of palm, avocado and truffle soy. For a libation, you can sip on bottomless mimosas or sake sangria. If you’re not in the mood for brunch items, you can always order off the regular, Asian-inspired menu.

Bayshore Club Bar & Grill

Bringing back a sense of old-school glamor, Bayshore Club is a marina-front, open-air restaurant and lounge where locals go for good food and drinks, beautiful views, a hot social scene and live jazz. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, grab a seat and dig into brunch plates including a lemon butter-poached lobster omelet, “medianoche” French toast with Nutella or a breakfast sandwich stuffed with a fried egg, crispy bacon, thick-cut tomatoes and house-made pickles and ketchup. And just because brunch ends doesn’t mean the fun has to. When you’ve eaten your fill, sip on a Come Fly With Me cocktail (Prosecco, Aperol, passionfruit purée and lime) by a fire pit or reserve a cabana and relax with families and friends.

GreenStreet Cafe

If you haven’t had brunch at GreenStreet Cafe, have you really been to Coconut Grove? This institution has been pleasing diners since 1990. Its wraparound patio is always jam-packed with lively groups who settle into plush, deep-red velvet sofas along Main Highway or tuck under umbrellas for a classic brunch experience. Breakfast is served until 2:45 p.m. every day. Favorites include coconut-encrusted or Nutella-filled French toast, caramelized banana pancakes, jerk-spiced scrambled eggs and grilled cinnamon rolls. To drink, order something bubbly or opt for a frozen Moscow mule or Robbie’s Lemonade – a refreshing drink made with vodka, St. Germain, blueberries, basil and lemon.

Le Pain Quotidien

This worldwide bakery-restaurant chain hailing from Brussels is all about good food made from simple ingredients. While Le Pain Quotidien – French for “daily bread” – nods to the Belgian countryside, this two-story restaurant also touts a distinct Coconut Grove flair. You’ll find coconut and peacock artwork, a bright teal staircase and sunlight flooding in through large windows. When it comes to what to order, the bread basket is a must, as all of the bread is 100% organic and made onsite. Beyond that, start your day with a Greek yogurt granola parfait, organic steel-cut oatmeal loaded with berries, a croque monsieur with toasted ham and Gruyere, Dutch mini-pancakes or a breakfast bowl with a sunny-side-up egg, roasted Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, caramelized onions and farro.

Lulu in the Grove

From owners of GreenStreet Cafe, Lulu in the Grove offers an eclectic vibe and a completely different menu. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, snag a seat at one of the sidewalk tables or outdoor couches and order tasty small plates such as skinny truffle fries or laffa bread with zaatar and rosemary garlic olive oil. Choose from a variety of waffle combinations, including the over-the-top chicken and waffles with fresh watermelon and bourbon syrup, the Nutella and banana waffle or the Oreo waffle with house-made cream cheese icing. If you’re really hungry, spring for a house specialty – maybe the Lulu burger paired with a Wake’n Bacon Bloody Mary made with Tito’s bacon vodka.

Sadelle’s

A popular spot for all-day dining, Sadelle’s has brought daily brunch to Coconut Grove. Available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday, brunch at Sadelle’s is ordered off a New York-style Jewish deli menu, with everything from matzo ball soup and crispy latkes to salami and eggs, and hand-sliced fish with capers, tomatoes and cucumbers on a bagel. For a real treat, order one of the impressive bagel towers or take your cute and casual brunch to the next level with caviar service – you can get it on top of eggs, on latkes or as a side with any dish.

Brunch is the highlight of everyone’s weekend. With all of the restaurant options in Coconut Grove, you can try a great new spot every weekend.
