Greenstreet Cafe has served all-day American food on Main Highway in Coconut Grove since 1990, with a people-watching patio and weekend brunch.
Good to know
Greenstreet Cafe has been a fixture of Main Highway in Coconut Grove since 1990, when it was founded by Sylvano and Maida Bignon. It describes its food as American eats served all day, and it is known for its outdoor lounge and patio, where the main entertainment is watching the Grove go by.
The menu runs from breakfast through lunch to dinner, with weekend brunch. Breakfast is served on weekdays from 7am to 3pm and brunch on Saturday and Sunday over the same hours, so a late, relaxed breakfast is easy to arrange. Lunch is served on weekdays from 11.30am to 3pm, and dinner from 3pm until closing. On weekdays, a happy hour runs from 4pm to 7pm with selected cocktails and small plates at a reduced price, available in selected areas of the restaurant.
Greenstreet is open from 7am to midnight from Sunday to Thursday and from 7am to 2am on Friday and Saturday, which makes it one of the most flexible places to eat in Coconut Grove. Breakfast on the patio is the classic visit, but it also works for a late drink. Reservations can be made online, and for parties of more than eight people the café asks you to use its contact form.
The café suits families, couples and groups, as well as anyone looking for a casual meal without too much planning. The patio is particularly pleasant in the cooler months, while on hot summer days an early breakfast is the most comfortable option. Solo travellers will find it an easy place to sit with a coffee and watch the street.
Online ordering is also available if you prefer to take food away.
Greenstreet Cafe is at 3468 Main Highway in the centre of Coconut Grove. Ariete is at 3540 Main Highway, Fireman Derek's Bake Shop at 3435 Main Highway and Panther Coffee at 3407 Main Highway, so the café makes a natural starting point for a walk along the street. Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, on South Miami Avenue, is a short drive away, and the café works well as a breakfast stop before a morning there. A taxi or ride-share is the easiest way to reach Coconut Grove from Miami Beach.
