CRAFT Coral Gables

Should You Book CRAFT Coral Gables?

If you have been to CRAFT Coral Gables before, the question on a return visit is whether it still earns its place in a neighbourhood that has grown considerably more competitive. Coral Gables now has a genuine bench of strong options across price points, and a second visit to any venue needs to clear a higher bar. Based on its address at 127 Giralda Ave — a pedestrian-friendly stretch of the Miracle Mile corridor — CRAFT sits in a location that rewards walkers exploring the area for a morning or weekend meal. That positioning makes it a natural candidate for the brunch and breakfast circuit that food-focused visitors to the area tend to prioritise.

Brunch in Coral Gables has become more deliberate in recent years. The neighbourhood draws a crowd that expects more than the standard eggs-and-bottomless-mimosas format, and venues that do not evolve get left behind. CRAFT's address on Giralda Ave places it among a cluster of restaurants and cafés within easy walking distance, which means you are comparing it against real alternatives every time you show up. For the explorer who wants depth and context rather than just a plate in front of them, location and positioning matter , and this address delivers both.

The honest caveat here is that detailed, verified information on CRAFT Coral Gables , cuisine type, pricing, current chef, hours, and any awards , is limited in our database at the time of writing. That is not a reason to skip it, but it is a reason to check current details directly before booking. For a food-forward traveller planning a morning or weekend visit to the Giralda Ave strip, CRAFT is worth investigating as part of a broader Coral Gables itinerary. Pair it with a walk through the surrounding streets and you have a low-effort, high-reward morning.

For context on how CRAFT fits into the wider Coral Gables dining picture, see our full Coral Gables restaurants guide. If you are building a full weekend itinerary, the Coral Gables hotels guide, bars guide, and experiences guide are all useful starting points. Coral Gables also has a small but growing wine-focused scene covered in our Coral Gables wineries guide.

If your frame of reference for serious restaurant experiences runs to destinations like Le Bernardin in New York City, The French Laundry in Napa, or Lazy Bear in San Francisco, CRAFT is operating at a different register entirely , neighbourhood dining rather than destination dining. That is not a criticism. For a morning meal or a relaxed weekend brunch in a well-located Coral Gables setting, it does not need to compete with Atomix in New York City or Smyth in Chicago. It needs to deliver on the basics of the format, and Giralda Ave is a pleasant place to find out whether it does.

Nearby alternatives on Pearl worth cross-referencing: Aragon Café for a café-style morning option, Afternoon Tea at The Biltmore if you want a more formal daytime experience, Arcano and 450 Gradi for evening meals, and Shingo if you are planning a higher-end dinner later the same day.
