    a refrigerator full of drinks
    Jazmin R.

    Cute greek coffee shop in Coconut Grove! I like that they are versatile, you can go for a quick coffee break or a happy hour wine break. Follow their instagram as some days they have live music. They have bistro style outdoor seating, and great drinks & snacks.

    As I sit here on having a "Sunday Funday" for one, sipping a deliciously bitter yet refreshing Mastiqua (a Greek sparkling water that's good for digestion), I find myself very content with the vegan dolmades, spinach pie, and the glass of white wine I just finished. It's a beautiful and hot day in Coconut Grove and this corner gem, nestled in a still old-school style coconut grove (iykyk) with its eclectic Greek music and euro-style seating is perfect for people watching and delicious eating. As an advocate for solo dining experiences, this one is a must try for your weekend itinerary. The service is nothing but sweet and genuine--it's clear that this business' staff wants you to enjoy your time. The food is delicious--as a spanikopita lover, the filo dough is flaky, not greasy, and the filling is perfectly savory with a hint of tartness from the cheese. And please, if you are a sparkling fan lover and don't mind bitter tastes, treat yourself to a mastiqua!

    Located right down the street from cocowalk and the Mayfair hotel this quaint little place has just the thing to break my and my daughters fast from the night before. We have many allergies including gluten and we were able to find food on the menu that kept us from grabbing our epi pens. The seating outside was ample and allowed us to people watch and enjoy the beautiful views of Coconut grove. We recommend this place for a quick morning meal and will certainly check it out again next time we visit the coconut grove area.

    Quick, cute and in the perfect location a block away from my hotel. Great service and perfect for a quick pick me up. Had lots of Greek food as well and chocolates

    I'm so happy that Calista Cafe opened in Coconut Grove! It is exactly what the neighborhood needed. A small, cozy, unique café that takes you on a little trip to Greece. The staff was exceptionally kind and the quality of products was great. The Bougainvillea on the outside, really captures the essence of the islands of Greece. I look forward to coming back and seeing what additional treats one can indulge in.

    Honest to god it was the best gyro i have ever had. good portion size and ambiance. the friend i went with got the breakfast sandwich and green coffee which he tells me are just incredible. i would recommend trying it out

    Cheese pie, delicious.

    Good food, quiet little corner place away from the bustle of Coconut Grove. I love the cheese pie, spinach pie, and salads.

    This is a little gem on a quiet street in Coconut Grove. Food is lovely and cute outdoor seating. I imagine it is also great for takeout.

The beautiful outdoor setting creates such a unique and relaxing atmosphere that you almost forget you're still in the city. The food was outstanding. The grilled meatballs were flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the cheese saganaki was absolutely delicious. But the real star of the meal was the beef souvlaki--it was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. And I have to mention the fries that came with it. They were honestly some of the best fries I've ever had, and definitely not something I expected to be raving about at a Greek restaurant! This was an amazing dining experience from start to finish, and I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu.

We had made reservations a week ahead of time which is recommended by them, and it worked perfectly. We called them to let them know we were running a little late and they were happy to hold our reservation for a few more minutes and it was great because this restaurant does get packed. Service is attentive and friendly... where they lost me was actually the quality of the dishes. Greek salad... was very sad. Overly ripped tomatoes, almost spoiled. Fish of the day sandwich (gyro style) was bland. It needed seasoning. NOT Good. Grouper from their specials... also flavorless. It comes over orzo which was overcooked. (Gummy)... and so on. I don't often have to write bad reviews but in this case I feel it is necessary. Way overrated. Way overpriced for the quality. Definitely not a restaurant I would recommend to anyone.

Also, the atmosphere they've created both indoors and outdoors really draws you in: beautiful foliage, gorgeous decor, and inviting decor. They play amazing Greek music to set the mood at a very reasonable volume so you can still hear your party. I've been for lunch during Miami spice and recently for dinner. Everything I've had was delicious with tons of flavor and huge portions. Both times I took enough leftovers for another meal! I especially love their zucchini fritters and their spread plate. All their spreads are so fresh and flavorful but their hummus especially was soo good. My husband and I shared the meat platter for two for dinner and enjoyed everything on it - the loukaniko was especially delicious! For dessert, you can't miss the galatoboureko, a sweet custard dessert with the flaky phyllo dough you know and love from baklava. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend for a lunch date or dinner date and it's super versatile: great for friends, families or romantic dates. Don't miss this beautiful restaurant in downtown!

During our last visit, an expensive black Prada bag disappeared inside the restaurant. At first, the General Manager, CECILIA , confirmed that we arrived with the bag and stated they were reviewing all camera footage. However, despite multiple requests, we were never shown the arrival footage or provided clear evidence proving what happened to the bag. The communication became increasingly contradictory, and instead of transparency and professional assistance, we were eventually accused of acting "fraudulently" and formally trespassed from the property. What shocked us most was not only the disappearance of a valuable personal item, but the way loyal customers were treated afterward: no transparency, no proper cooperation, no accountability, and accusations without clear proof. We remained respectful throughout the entire process and simply asked for clear confirmation regarding the footage. Instead, the situation escalated into accusations and threats of trespassing. If personal belongings can disappear inside a restaurant and management responds this way, guests should seriously think twice before leaving valuables there. At this point, we sincerely hope the restaurant owner or upper management reviews this situation carefully, conducts a proper internal investigation into how this matter was handled, and contacts us directly in hopes of reaching a fair resolution regarding both the significant financial loss and the emotional distress we experienced as a result of this situation and the unfounded accusations made against us. We are still open to direct communication with the restaurant owner or upper management in hopes of resolving this situation professionally and fairly.

What stands out most is how consistent the quality is every single time we visit. The service is always impeccable, with the staff genuinely going above and beyond to make the experience special.

One of my favorite touches is being able to select your seafood directly from the display before ordering. Everything is incredibly fresh, and you can truly taste the difference. Some of my personal favorites are, of course, the scallops, the Greek salad, the dips, and the lobster pasta. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor.

Even after paying, the staff continued to make sure we had water and asked if we needed anything else. This small gesture meant a lot. Sufrat has a great happy hour menu that ends at 6 PM. I tried the Moroccan Mojito, which was so refreshing. To eat, we tried the Shawarma Sushi and $1 chicken wing. The Shawarma Sushi name can be a bit misleading. It a wrap that was cut in form of sushi. It was good. I was hesitant about ordering chicken wings but I'm so glad we did because they were so delicious and crispy. They may have been the best chicken wing I've had. The service was excellent. I accidentally dropped my cocktail and they immediately cleaned it up and moved us to another clean table. I apologized for dropping it but not once did they made me feel bad about it. Instead, one of the staff stated it was an indication of having a great time. They also replaced my drink at no extra cost. A guy, who I assumed was the manager or owner, also passed by our table and ensured we were enjoying our time. Our server mistakenly brought me the wrong drink that I ordered, but I did not mind it because I actually loved the Moroccan Mojito and instead ordered another one. I also loved how they have copper cups because it makes water taste so much better. Their attention to small details like that makes the difference. Overall, I felt so welcomed and definitely have to return for more chicken wings.

We ordered the beef kabobs, which were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the ribeye steak was a major disappointment. We ordered it medium well, but it came out extremely overcooked, dry, and tough, with hard charred pieces on the outside. It was clear that steak is probably not their specialty. That said, we would still recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, service, and many of the other menu items -- just skip the steaks.

Someone I was with also mentioned that the roast chicken is the best roast chicken they have ever had in their lives. As for the ambience, if you choose to be inside during the bellydancing show- be prepared to be overstimulated and not be able to hear anything that your table was saying to you. Make sure you're in the mood for extremely loud music and chaos all over. if you're in the headspace, it's a great time! If you're not in the mood for the madness, eat outside! I literally can't wait to go back to this restaurant... PS obviously beach parking can be complicated but they have valet for five bucks, which is really helpful!
