- October 22, 2026
From a historic Old Florida village filled with independent boutiques to open-air shopping centers, outlet stores and family-friendly malls, South Dade has a shopping trip for every style and budget. Browse handcrafted goods and sip afternoon tea, stroll palm-lined walkways between designer storefronts or score great deals on your favorite brands. With dining, movies and entertainment at nearly every stop, it’s easy to make a full day of it. Here’s where to find the best shopping in South Dade.
Cauley Square Historic Village
Step back in time at Cauley Square Historic Village in South Dade’s Goulds neighborhood, a shopping area built in the style of Old Florida. Dating back to the 1900s, Cauley Square is what happens when you preserve the historic buildings and remnants of William Cauley’s shipping operation along the Florida East Coast Railway extension and renovate it to become 10 acres of independent shops, art galleries, gardens, restaurants, wellness spas, a tea house and even a small chapel.
Go to Jimmy’s Bright Ideas for eclectic and handcrafted home decor made from repurposed vintage finds, shop pure fragrances and skincare at Therapia by Aroma, sign up for a crystal healing workshop at Gaia’s Crystal Healing or grab a handmade candle or a book about holistic health from Tree of Life Holistics, an alternative holistic health center and candlelit store set in a lush garden.
There’s also an indoor farmers market every Sunday with fresh produce from local farms, artisan goods and pastries and special packaged foods and from local vendors, as well as pop up shops throughout the year. You can’t leave without stopping by The Tea Room, where you can have a traditional high tea with finger sandwiches, scones, sweet desserts, savory quiches and more.
The Falls
At The Falls, your whole family can shop and play in a beautiful open-air setting filled with towering palm trees, covered walkways, a bubbling brook, arched bridges and lush garden areas. There are over 100 specialty stores – such as lululemon, Apple, Express Factory Outlet, Zales, Hot Topic and Pacsun – anchored by Macy’s and Life Time (a luxury gym and athletic country club).
Take the kids to make their own stuffed animals at Build-A-Bear Workshop®, see a movie at Regal Bistro, ride the outdoor children’s train or climb and slide down play structures at the foam-covered The Falls Children’s Play Area. Treat yourself to a hair, nail or beauty appointment at various storefronts. Stop for a bite to eat at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse, Bulla Gastrobar, Sweetgreen or Los Ranchos.
On the entertainment side, immerse yourself in fantastical worlds at Sandbox VR, a room-scale, multiplayer, full-body virtual reality experience that uses motion-tracking technology and haptic vests for a cutting-edge gaming experience.
Southland Mall
Head to Cutler Bay and spend an afternoon shopping at Southland Mall, home to a variety of stores, entertainment and restaurant options for the whole family. Shoppers will find a mix of department and larger stores such as Macy’s, JCPenney, DSW, Old Navy, TJ Maxx and a brand new PetSmart (added in September 2026), with specialty stores including The Children’s Place, Bath & Body Works, Zarin and Pandora.
When you’re ready for a break, get a free three-day pass and workout at LA Fitness or see a movie at Regal. There are plenty of places to eat when hunger strikes, such as Applebee’s, Olive Garden and a food court with Charley’s Philly Steaks, Churromania, Lotus Express and more.
Southland Mall is currently going through a massive, multi-year transformation to become part of the greater Southplace City Center. When complete, it will include a residential building and more stores. As the property evolves, be sure to check the current store directory before visiting.
Florida Keys Outlet Marketplace
Located at the southernmost exit of the Florida Turnpike in Florida City, Florida Keys Outlet Marketplace is an outdoor shopping mall with more than 40 outlets, ranging from adult and children's clothing, footwear and activewear to home, kitchen, jewelry and accessories. You'll find storefronts for brands such as adidas, Nike Clearance Store, Levi's® Outlet Store, Columbia Factory Store, Tommy Hilfiger and GUESS.
