Top 5 Coffee Shops Near West Little River

1) Imperial Moto Café 

7299 NW 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33150

Imperial Moto in Little River technically sells motorcycle gear, but locals know that it's also a perfectly functional hangout spot for a cup of coffee and some people-watching, especially since it's only 9 minutes from West Little River. 

Here, you don't need to care about bikes to make sense of the space, which has a couple of couches up front, a handful of tables, and a generally unbothered attitude toward people who plan to stay awhile, as it's rarely full, except maybe on the weekends and when they've got an event going on (which usually involves burritos).

Coffee-wise, you'll find your favorite espresso drinks alongside brewed coffee, and a sweet and savory lineup of empanadas, pastries, breakfast plates, and lunch items, making it easy to justify ordering more than just a drink.

Non-coffee drinkers can also get their fix from a selection of matcha, turmeric, chai lattes, and a few refreshing teas and smoothies, which become 10 times better with their flaky croissants, oversized cookies, and pressed sandwiches. 

No doubt, it's a solid spot that deserves to be on this list, even if you prefer driving rather than riding.

2) Pura Vida - Miami Shores 

9801 NE 2nd Ave, Miami Shores, FL 33138 

Love them or hate them, health-forward cafés have been a fixture since the pandemic hit in 2020, but there's one that Miamians consider an essential part of the wellness and culinary community, dating back to its first location in 2012

We know you know the name, but we'll say it anyway: Pura Vida, a boho-chic All-Day café chain with over 40 locations across Florida, New York, and Southern California, one just 9 minutes from West Little River.

Step inside and find an aesthetic of light woods, sophisticated off-whites, and a bustling crowd of regulars, all sipping on something healthy that tastes just a little bit too indulgent.

And when we say you have choices, we're talking a list of fresh juices, smoothies, and the usual hot-to-iced coffee and tea drinks, including alternative milk selections and organic sweeteners. 

Pura Vida's All-Day menu follows suit by offering a range of fresh, wholesome dishes, from açaí bowls and hearty wraps to the Perfect Egg Sandwich layered with pasture-raised eggs, mozzarella, arugula, and avocado smash, and other health-conscious savory items, along with a variety of baked goods deliciously displayed in the glass cases at the front counter.

The best part? Every corner of Pura Vida is Instagrammable, even the food and drinks themselves, so you're not only filling your body with 'good' fuel, but you're also walking away with content for your socials.

3) Bonsai Coffee 

211 NE 97th St, Miami Shores, FL 33138

Skip your morning coffee run at your usual coffee shop and make the short trip to Miami Shores, specifically at the parking lot next to Shores Gourmet and Fieldworkshop, where you'll find Bonsai Coffee, a minimalist mobile coffee setup parked just 9 minutes from West Little River. 

A specialty coffee cart built inside a custom electric Japanese kei truck, which already tells you this isn't a novelty stop, Bonsai Coffee only opened in April this year, yet it's drawn a steady crowd, thanks to the expertise and passion of local owners Kenzo and Keila.

Here, you can expect handcrafted espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, and cold brew, along with a short rotation of seasonal drinks, all made to order, thoughtfully executed, and in variants that rival bigger coffee shops and spaces — in pacing, presentation, and overall vibe.

5) Surry Hills Coffee | Brunch Miami 

8226 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33138

Surry Hills is an Australian coffee shop by way of Argentina in Little River, just 10 minutes from West Little River, though it doesn't feel especially tied to either place. 

What it is is one of those trendy cafés you stumble into abroad while hunting for decent coffee and reliable wifi — sleek, stylish yet also familiar and easy to settle into.

Here, you can indulge in a selection of brunch & coffee classics: espresso drinks, freshly baked pastries in the case, and a lineup of sandwiches, salads, and egg-based plates, all best paired with a signature menu of specialty coffee that will soon set a global standard.

No, we're not exaggerating — Surry Hills' coffee drinks cover the full spectrum, from straightforward espresso drinks to more niche, specialty-style offerings!

Keep it classic with an Americano, cappuccino, flat white, or latte, or dabble into a slightly richer territory with options like the mocaccino or dirty chai. 

Espresso is available on its own or as a rotating "special," and there's batch brew for anyone who wants coffee stripped to its core.

Surry Hills also features a curated tea selection that spans black teas from India and Sri Lanka, Japanese kukicha, Taiwanese seasonal blends, and matcha and chai lattes.
