The 20 Best Restaurants In Coral Gables - Miami - The Infatuation

"The Coral Gables Books & Books is very much its own character. It exhales when the weather cools, and the wooden floors creak when the humidity rises. It’s alive—with ideas and history. And also food. Their very solid cafe serves soups, salads, and sandwiches with both indoor and outdoor seating. It’s a lovely spot to chill out with a grilled cheese, wine, and a good read—or a great place to work while you attempt to absorb ideas through osmosis. They have an amazing selection of books, complete with rolling library ladders, so you can pretend you’re a provincial Disney princess sliding your way from Octavia Butler to Kurt Vonnegut after you eat. Also, check out their calendar for weekly in-person or virtual book readings and author events." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
