Who doesn’t love a good brunch on vacation? One of the best parts of vacation is exploring the food scene in whatever city that I’ve traveled to. My trip to Miami was no different. I searched high and low for some of the best brunch places to eat while visiting Miami with my husband. Here are the top 2 gems that I found for the best brunch in Miami.
Nikki Beach
If you are looking for a good Brunch. I CANNOT recommend this place enough. Brunch here fills up quickly so be sure to reserve your spot, ASAP. There was so much to love when it came to Nikki Beach. I’m not usually a fan of buffet style but Nikki Beach was an exception to my usual No Buffet rule.
The atmosphere was exactly what you would expect when vacationing in Miami. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, it was giving the vibes for a perfect Sunday Funday brunch. The seating ranged from tables to cabanas. Additionally, there were umbrellas for additional shade which was super appreciated in the blazing Miami heat. To add to the ambiance there was a DJ and saxophonist.
Plus if you’re looking for an Instagram-worthy photo opp you are sure to get some great shots here. Now if you’re like me and wondering what is the vibe like as far as what to wear. When you go to Nikki Beach you want to wear your cutest swimsuit and cover-up because you are only a short walk from the beach.
Now onto the food. Brunch is $59.95 per guest and this doesn’t include drinks. There are several stations to choose from to satisfy almost any appetite. I truly enjoyed everything that I put on my plate. There are three outdoor stations which include an omelet station, crepe & waffle station, and a breakfast pasta station. Inside, you could find several other stations which included fruit and meat carving station. Alcoholic beverages are available for an additional charge and so is hookah.
Nikki Beach checked all the boxes for me making it by far one of the best brunch spots in Miami.
La Industria Bakery & Cafe
There is so much to love with La Industria Bakery & Cafe. This pick for brunch in Miami actually came from my husband. It is located in Bayside Marketplace, which is an open-air shopping center located in Downtown Miami. Here you will also find a lot of tourist vendors for various boat tours and other attractions. I loved that we could get brunch and then book a tour right after we were done eating.
While the restaurant itself is not very large, they do offer indoor and outdoor seating. Depending on what setting you are feeling for the day they can easily accommodate you.
Let’s not forget though we are here to talk about the food. The food was absolutely delicious. Now, this is not the place you go for a light breakfast. This is the place where you want to be a little over the top with your food choice. There were so many good options to choose from that it was hard to make a decision. After much thought and scrolling their IG for food pics, I ended up choosing the Ferrero Rocher Pancakes. After taking my first bite, I DID NOT regret my decision one bit. The pancakes were so light and fluffy and drizzled with chocolate and hazelnut that I still daydream about them.
As far as portion size goes, the amount of food you receive is probably enough for two people. So if you don’t listen to anything else I say please hear me when I say come with an appetite.
My husband, Corey, got the bacon waffle sandwich and it was only right that I tried a few bites of his food too. This sandwich didn’t disappoint and the cheese fries were so good. I was upset that I just didn’t have room for more, honestly.
Now you’re probably thinking what is brunch without a good mimosa and I agree. I ordered the popsicle mimosa and the available flavors at the time were strawberry and passion fruit. My favorite was the passion fruit and my husband’s choice was the strawberry. I don’t think you could go wrong with either choice.
Literally everything, I ate tasted amazing. I was so pleased with my experience at La Industria that it wasn’t hard at all to name it as one of the best brunches in Miami.
Final Thoughts On Brunch In Miami
Whether you choose to go to La Industria or Nikki Beach you can’t go wrong. The staff and service at both locations were fantastic. I visited with my husband but think these are also great spots for brunch with friends.
There were several other brunch places that I visited but these two by far had the best brunch in Miami. I will definitely be back the next time I visit Miami.
