Shoppers Rejoice At Miracle Mile And Downtown Coral Gables

Running through the heart of Downtown Coral Gables is Miracle Mile, a European-style shopping street where restaurants and bars spill out onto the pavement – a fitting complement to the area’s Mediterranean charm. Lined with vintage-style street lanterns, swaying palms and towering oaks, this avenue has everything from one-of-a-kind fashion boutiques and high-end furniture stores to salons, art galleries, jewelers and more.

Give your kitchen an upgrade with custom Italian furnishings from MiaCucina, or step into Kettal (another luxury furniture store in Miami) and shop bespoke collections of contemporary, Spanish-style outdoor furniture.

Ladies can shop for a stylish new outfit at Essence Boutique or designer bathing suits at Curves N’ Waves, while men can relax with an ice-cold beer and a hot shave at Miami’s own The Well-Groomed Gentleman.

For a real treat, pick out your favorite gems and jewels at Jae’s Fine Jewelers – a family-owned jewelry boutique that has been serving the South Florida community since 1945.

When you’re done shopping, it’s time to refuel. Grab a drink or a “shot” of something sweet at Seasons 52, known for its variety of delicious desserts served in shot glasses. Make sure to try the fresh-made hummus and pita at Motek Coral Gables or indulge in a classic steakhouse dinner and a martini at Hillstone.

Celebrate Your Vows At Bridal Row

Miracle Mile is nicknamed “Bridal Row” for a reason – it has some of the best Miami wedding dress shops. At David’s Bridal, you’ll find racks of wedding, bridesmaid and flower girl dresses, bridal shoes, veils and accessories for every budget.
