2) French Bakery

14453 S Dixie Hwy, Miami, FL 33176

At French Bakery, there's no need for theatrics like aesthetic backgrounds, fancy latte art, or outrageous coffee blends — the draw is in the precision and passion for a great cup of the classics. 

The best part? This coffee icon is just 6 minutes from Palmetto Estates!

Welcome to French Bakery, an authentic taste of France in the suburban streets of South Dade.

Here, you'll find crisp and layered croissants, éclairs filled with smooth custard, and canelés that strike a balance between caramelized and tender. 

French Bakery's tartelettes, whether pistachio or raspberry, add a pop of color without the sugar overload.

And their coffee? You can bet it's treated with the same discipline. 

Think café au lait that's bold without bitterness, espressos that can keep you up and energized throughout the day, cappuccinos with the perfect measure of foam, and mochas that keep their sweetness in check.

For anyone who values substance over spectacle, French Bakery needs a spot on your regular rotation.

3) Brewing Buddha Cafe & Arthouse

8219 SW 124th St, Miami, FL 33156

Good brew takes time, and at Brewing Buddha Café & Arthouse, that patience pays off — in the cup and atmosphere, just 8 minutes from Palmetto Estates.

Here, espressos and lattes boast a craftsman's touch, while teas, sandwiches, and waffles complete a menu that prioritizes quality over rush. 

What sets the café apart, though, is the personal mark of its owners. 

At Brewing Buddha Café & Arthouse, each wall is lined with original artwork, making the space feel less like a commercial setup and more like an open sketchbook you get to sit inside.

The unhurried vibe also adds an artsy flair, as Brewing Buddha Café & Arthouse trades trendy couches and uncomfortable wooden seats for worn-in lounges, wood tables, and leafy corners that invite long conversations or quiet breaks. 

Your coffee, at Brewing Buddha Café & Arthouse, gives the moment its weight.

4) PLUR Tea

19367 S Dixie Hwy, Cutler Bay, FL 33157

Not every coffee run comes with mochi donuts, Korean corn dogs, and a cloud of foam — but luckily, it does at PLUR Tea, just 9 minutes from Palmetto Estates.

Say hello to PLUR Tea, a colorful Cutler Bay spot that blends café culture with boba shop flair, just 9 minutes from Palmetto Estates.

Here, the menu spans from fruity teas like lychee jasmine and mango black, to creamy milk teas and matcha lattes alongside rotating seasonal specials stacked with whipped toppings and pastel layers.

Meanwhile, you can choose your coffee from an extensive lineup of lattes, cappuccinos, and iced classics, including PLUR Tea's popular foam series, where your drinks are crowned with flavors like ube, matcha, and black sesame, each one delightful, sweet, and silky enough to double as dessert.

Add fried mochi donuts on the side, and PLUR Tea turns an ordinary caffeine stop into a mix of color, texture, and flavor that doesn't need filters to get attention.

5) Mr. Bean

8888 SW 136th St, Suite 585, Miami, FL 33176
