Pura Vida Miami has officially opened its largest location to date, right in the heart of Coconut Grove along Grand Avenue. But this isn't just another pretty pastel-hued café with matcha on tap—this white, bright, and ginormous café just debuted a concept that's been years in the making: Gelato by Pura Vida Miami, a health-conscious spin on the classic Italian treat, made entirely in-house and free from gluten, refined sugar, and additives.

Miami doesn't play when it comes to grocery shopping. We're picky about our produce, loyal to our local staples (and go wild over viral ones), and proud of our supermarket standards. While other cities debate over who has the best grocery store, here in Florida, we've long known where to go when we want a delicious sandwich for lunch, a bakery that never misses, and staff who somehow always remember where the marinara is.

Sergio's, Miami's beloved old-school Cuban restaurant chain, is planting roots in Pinecrest for the very first time. The new outpost, which takes over the longtime Ihop location at 11927 S. Dixie Hwy., will be the only major Cuban restaurant in the area (beyond bakery staples like Pinecrest Bakery and CAO Bakery & Cafe), and this one comes with a classic ventanita. That means Pinecrest residents will soon be able to grab Cuban cafecitos and pastelitos without leaving the neighborhood — finally.

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer, the award-winning New York import known for its towering milkshakes and over-the-top burgers, has abruptly shuttered its Brickell location less than a year after opening. The closure came without warning: no public announcement, no farewell message, and no note on the door. However, the Brickell address seems to be removed from Black Tap's website, and Yelp lists the location as closed.
