A long-standing neighborhood staple, Berries in the Grove is an all-day café and restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and brunch in a laid-back setting with both indoor and outdoor seating. 

While it isn't exclusively plant-based, its extensive menu allows diners who prefer lighter, produce-driven choices, with vegan-friendly options that appear throughout the menu — when you know where to look.

Designed as part of Miami's trendiest dining spaces, Koko stretches across 6,000 square feet of open-air seating and covered dining areas, framed by desert plants, textured finishes, and a social bar scene — a festive setting without the chaos, making it well-suited for a laid-back meal that's far from boring.
