Coconut Grove, Miami: A Breezy Summer Escape

This summer, I found myself wandering through the sun-drenched streets of Coconut Grove, Miami - a neighborhood that effortlessly blends coastal charm with upscale flair. Think sleek cars cruising past sidewalk cafés, sailboats bobbing in the marina, and boutique-lined streets that invite you to linger.

Where It All Began: Mr. C Miami – Coconut Grove

My stay kicked off at the elegant Mr. C Miami, a serene oasis tucked into the heart of the Grove. The room was a dream - quiet, plush, and thoughtfully designed. The bed? Like sinking into a cloud. The mini bar? Impeccably curated. And the bathroom? Stocked with everything you’d need for a pampered stay. Check out the quaint but effective gym too.

Sip & Savor at Bellini

Bellini, the hotel’s signature bar, quickly became my go-to spot. Their peach bellinis were sweet and refreshing - the perfect toast to a warm Miami evening. Pro tip: grab a latte in the lobby for a cozy morning moment, and later, unwind with champagne on the outdoor patio. It’s the ideal perch for people-watching and soaking up the tropical breeze.

Dining Highlights Worth a Double Take

Though my time was short, two spots were so good I had to go back:

• Level6: This rooftop gem pulses with Miami energy — panoramic views, live music, and a vibe that’s both chic and electric.

  

  

• Botanico Gin & Cookhouse: A more laid-back atmosphere with standout cocktails and a menu that hits all the right notes.

Sweet Indulgences

For dessert lovers, Coconut Grove delivers:

• Danielle Gelato: Creamy, authentic, and oh-so-satisfying.

  

• Fireman Derek’s: Don’t miss the pie milkshakes — decadent, outrageous, and totally worth the splurge.

Boutique Finds & Artistic Flair

Shopping was a treat in itself. I spent way too much time (and happily, money) at Palm Produce Lifestyle, a stylish boutique that nails the travel aesthetic with breezy men and women’s fashion and wanderlust-worthy accessories.

And then there’s Cocowalk - a vibrant hub of art, dining, and unique shops. Every corner seemed to unlock a hidden gem.

Coconut Grove may be a small slice of Miami, but it’s packed with personality, flavor, and beauty. Whether you're sipping bellinis, dogs at bar, or browsing local art, it’s a place that invites you to slow down and savor the moment.
