These are the brunch pancakes that have kept locals coming back for 35 years. Fluffy and cooked to order, they arrive topped with fresh blueberries that stain the plate, crunchy granola for texture, and warm maple syrup on the side. This is casual breakfast done right.
Tips from diners
Arrive before 9am on weekends or expect a 30-45 minute wait for a table.
Request outdoor seating for the full Greenstreet experience — the patio is why this place is legendary.
The brunch classic done right. Perfectly poached eggs with a still-runny yolk, quality Canadian bacon, and a silky hollandaise that coats the English muffin. The hollandaise is the key — not broken, perfectly emulsified, and balanced in acidity.
Tips from diners
Breakfast is served all day until 2:45pm — perfect for a weekday late breakfast.
The French toast at Greenstreet goes over the top with Nutella filling that melts into the warm bread. Made with thick-cut brioche and properly soaked in a custard mixture, it arrives golden and crispy on the outside. Topped with powdered sugar and served with fresh berries.
Tips from diners
This is a shareable dessert-like brunch item — order for the table and split.
This pasta dish celebrates simplicity and seasonal produce. Fresh pasta is tossed with whatever vegetables are at peak ripeness — zucchini, tomatoes, basil, garlic — finished with quality olive oil. This is the dish that showcases the cafe's commitment to simple, fresh cooking.
Tips from diners
This is light enough for lunch but satisfying enough for dinner.
The Greenstreet salad is the lighter lunch option — fresh mixed greens, properly dressed with a balanced vinaigrette, topped with sliced grilled chicken breast. Simple and satisfying, with seasonal vegetables rotating throughout the year.
Tips from diners
This is the go-to for a lighter meal without sacrificing flavor.
Greenstreet Cafe opened in 1989 in the heart of Coconut Grove, founded by Sylvano and Maida Bignon. The restaurant has become the neighborhood's social hub, where locals and tourists alike gather on the sprawling outdoor patio under swaying trees. Breakfast runs 7am-2:45pm daily, and the menu spans salads, pastas, sandwiches, and entrees — casual American done with care. The outdoor seating is the main draw, offering unmatched people-watching opportunities.
Brunch service is chaotic on weekends. Go early (before 9am) or late (after 1pm) to avoid the worst crowds.
