CocoWalk

A Sunday stroll through CocoWalk is the perfect way to soak in Miami’s charm—lush greenery, boutique shopping, and that laid-back Coconut Grove energy. We wandered into a cozy bookstore, where the scent of fresh pages and locally brewed coffee made for the perfect mid-morning pause. After picking up a great read, brunch at Glass & Vine was the next stop. Nestled in Peacock Park, this spot feels like a hidden oasis. The avocado toast was crisp, the eggs perfectly poached, and the mimosas just right for a slow, sunlit afternoon. Of course, no Sunday is complete without something sweet, so we made a final stop at Fireman Derek’s for a slice of their legendary pie. Rich, decadent, and totally worth it. A perfect way to wrap up a dreamy day

CocoWalk is the heart of Coconut Grove and such a fun place to spend the day! The mix of shops, restaurants, and open-air spaces creates the perfect blend of laid-back charm and modern style. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee, catching a movie, or meeting friends for dinner, there’s always something to do. The design is beautiful, with a great balance of greenery and architecture that makes it feel vibrant and inviting. It’s also super walkable and family-friendly. CocoWalk has truly brought new life to the Grove—an absolute must-visit!

It is a nice place with a few shops and some restaurants. It is very nicely decorated, lots of space, clean restrooms and trash cans available as you walk around. There is an attached parking garage and escalators for convenience.

Our next food adventure take us to The CocoWalk shopping center located in the heart of Coconut Grove. The place looks modern and with a new structure after a complete renovation and the location is perfect. With different retail stores, a completely remodeled cinema and a gymnasium, it is the perfect place to spend time with the family or watch a movie or share a good coffee, ice cream or a meal in a restaurant. Today for my our new food adventure we chose (Plant Queen) Vegan Cuisine. High recommend place to spend the day with the family.

It used to be a nice place to hangout but now it’s just over priced restaurants that were pretty much empty so must not be so great. Let’s see how many of them close down.

While the location is lovely, the parking policy is outrageous! We visited for under an hour on Sunday to grab a quick ice cream, but were charged $16 for the entire afternoon. According to the parking attendant, the administration rounds up the fee after 4 pm. This practice feels predatory and unfair. Why should we pay for parking time we didn't use? Visitors deserve transparency and reasonable rates. We left feeling frustrated and sad because we won’t be visiting it anytime soon.

It's an ok mall. Very small and most shops are higher end. There is a barber shop, serveral restaurants, movie theater, and more.

The price to park in this garage is the biggest robbery I’ve experienced. I parked for 30 minutes and paid $20. When the parking cost more than what you went there for (ice cream) you know there is a big problem. I don’t understand how this is allowed. Street parking can be difficult to find, but it’s worth checking there first, or maybe just avoid CocoWalk altogether. I’m so sick and tired of the never ending parking scams in Miami.

CocoWalk is such a radically different and changed place vs. what it was 16 years ago when I posted my initial reviews for this plaza that it almost feels like they could've closed the original listing for it on Yelp and created a new one once the redesign took place - the transformation was really that drastic. The center building which once housed Fat Tuesday, a coffee place and a few touristy shops and eateries was demolished and a new structure constructed in generally the same spot, and I believe the only tenant from the original CocoWalk that remains is the cinema at the back. All the chain eateries and bars moved or closed completely in favor of a new stable of more upscale, and definitely better quality, restaurants and bars. Even the rickshaw rides which were once a staple along Grand Avenue in front of the old CocoWalk are gone. Overall it's been interesting to watch the transformation of this general part of Coconut Grove over the past decade or so. While I didn't live in the Miami area when the Grove was supposedly more of a "hippie haven" and I wasn't even here for the heyday of the Mayfair mall, I do remember the Coconut Grove of about a decade ago with the bed races each year, lots of college kids and pub crawls at Barracuda, Sandbar and elsewhere, and then Coconut Grove seemed to go quiet and was relatively, somewhat sadly, sleepy most weekend evenings as crowds fled to other parts of the city that were newer and trendier. It's nice to see the Grove now making a comeback recently with a revitalized CocoWalk, many newer eateries in the several blocks surrounding it and a solid foodie scene overall - including a few spots with Michelin stars, Mayfair adding more tenants and this area buzzing with activity once again.

CocoWalk in Coconut Grove is a vibrant spot with a mix of retail stores, restaurants, and entertainment options. The open-air design and tropical setting make it a pleasant place to stroll and enjoy the atmosphere. While some feel the retail options could be more diverse, the dining scene is a highlight, offering a variety of cuisines in a relaxed environment. It's a good destination for an afternoon outing or casual night out, especially if you're in the area and looking for something laid-back.

I haven't been to coco walk in years and I am quite happy about that. It has completely changed just like everywhere else in Miami. On a Saturday I came for a yelp elite perk to not find any parking around and coco walk advertising is misleading as I thought it would be cheaper however for the half hour I was there it was a flat rate or $16!!!!!!!!!!!!! Meanwhile coco walk looks very clean and new and all you see is women in their Lululemon. There was a yoga class going on. After they all went to for their fancy coffees too, luckily mine was free as I cannot maintain a lifestyle like this. I honestly don't know how people do it. The current economy is killing me meanwhile people are smiling in Lululemon paying $16 parking and I can only realize I am ending up on the wrong side of the gap between rich and poor. Miami is not for the poor anymore thanks to the New York and Californian influence combined with bidenomics.

Boy has this place changed! Not sure if for better or worse, specially when I have so many memories here. The parking garage is always a good option, even if you are going to nearby places, since parking is a bit of a nightmare around this area. Some restaurants looked quite chic, perhaps a bit fancy. It's a bit of a drive for me but maybe I'll come by again on a day I have more time.

New. Modern. CocoWalk! I haven't been here in years and to see the wonderful modifications to this whole shopping center is awesome! Beautiful area to take pictures and eat at various restaurants. Very dog friendly so don't be afraid to bring your pups ^.^ There is a parking garage right next to Cocowalk or parallel parking all over the area.

Ah the ever-evolving Coco Walk. The center. The heart of the grove. It's the meeting point. They really re-did the place well. Great new restaurants and shops. Theater, School of Rock, Planta, pizza, sushi.. Whatcha want?

Great place to walk around and enjoy the shops and eateries. I was dropped by my Lyft in the heart and had my choice of many places to visit!

The CocoWalk Parking Garage is adjacent to the shopping center with shops and restaurants in Coconut Grove. We were there during the weekday. Parking rates are $4 for the first two hours, $8 for two to four hours. The weekend is $10 for the day.

This is a small open mall with great restaurants and a movie theater. The place looks great after going through some renovations. Very modern and a great place to walk on weekdays or weekends. Parking is a bit confusing and tight but there is plenty of others parking lots in the area.

The CocoWalk Shopping Center is in the heart of Coconut Grove. The location is great!! I decided to walk through before heading to happy hour. It was cool but none of the shops really caught my eye. There are a few retail shops and restaurants operating. Some other shops will be opening in 2022. Lots of outdoor seating. There's even a movie theater on the second level as well as a gym. This is definitely an ideal spot to grab dinner, catch a movie or a cocktail. If you happen to be visiting from out of town, I would checkout the CocoWalk...It's the tourist thing to do!

Very cool find. Great spot to walk around inclusive of bakeries, mid to upscale restaurants and very stylish. It's a little like wynwood meets design district.

Well the newly anticipated shopping center is now officially open. I came today for a look around. There are still a lot of vacant stores, but now that covid is getting better under control I am sure they will start to fill up. The design is new, sleek and better in keeping with what Coconut Grove is trying to do, than the old hideous concrete eyesore that was there before, for sure! They have elevators, tables and chairs dotted around, a couple of restaurants, such as Ole 01 and Planta, a gym is also housed there on the third floor.

The original Coco Walk was built in 1990 actually had the year on the front fascade. I loved that Cocowalk great restaurants including Cheesecake Factory and boutiques. A few years ago it was defunct and looking like it was going condo. So fast forward to yesterday and I passed by and was surprised it was torn down just to be rebuilt into a smaller version of the original. Less shops and restaurants I see a Mister 01 that also has locations in Downtown Miami. Nothing else really looked particularly interesting to come back. They seemed to have a movie theatre towards the back of the plaza,same as the prior Cocowalk just a different brand. Truly don't understand why you would tear down and rebuild something to make it even less exciting? The panther fountain out front was pretty.

It's hard not to compare the new with the old. I used to go to the old. CocoWalk a lot, it was so much fun! The new CW is looking very nice. There are some good places to eat, a few shops, movie theaters still there too. It's a bit more high scale than what it used to be. Not complaining, just an observation.

Been coming to CocoWalk for many years, but after a while it became more touristy and lost it's appeal. Recently it has remodeled and old stores and restaurants have become office space, Good thing is they kept Cinépolis and even remodeled. Besides a few new restaurants in area there isn't much use driving all the way down to the grove.

I hadn't been to Cocowalk in probably 20 years and I know that changes are inevitable but I wasn't expecting a total remake. Fat Tuesday, Cheesecake Factory and Hooters and stores like The Gap have made way for higher end boutiques and an overall change in appearance and feel. The place used to be filled with different types of people and families and it literally seemed almost like a ghost town. I doubt I'll ever go back to Cocwalk but at least I have some good memories from long ago.

Meh. High end shops (Free People)and restaurants in an outdoor setting. The parking is tricky getting back to your car from the attached garage. Be prepared to spend money on parking: we paid $8 for less than 2 hours. I would prefer to stay in Miracle Mile for my shopping and eating.

I have always loved to Coco Walk and enjoy the Miami weather as we walk around their beautiful streets. They used to have many clothing stores, cafes, and restaurants, but now they are under construction and I really can't wait for what's next. See you soon!

Getting to CocoWalk is interesting I'd say. With so many restaurants, pedestrians walking about, and every street being named something different instead of having a number attached to it, it can be quite easy to miss. Heck, even if you don't miss it, traffic here is just awful. That aside, CocoWalk is a relatively small mall. Don't come here expecting The Falls. CocoWalk lacks in retail, having GAP and Victoria's Secret among a select other few, but it makes up in dining and entertainment options. Driving near here, you seriously cannot miss the massive Cheesecake Factory. Well that, the movie theater, and surrounding restaurants. If you step out of what is traditionally labeled as CocoWalk, you will fare better. On the same street moreorless, you have an insane amount of restaurants. Lulu in the Grove, GreenStreet Café, Strada in the Grove, Peacock Garden Café, Lokal - you can easily see where I'm going with this. Note that there are minor shops all around. Celestial Treasures is the first comes to mind. Still, I would say this is a place to hang out, not to shop. If you come to hang out and can bear the traffic and parking, go. CocoWalk is definitely worth the visit. Also, if you check in on Yelp, you get a free CocoWalk tote or lunchbag or so it says. However, it says as well that it expired 2013. What's the deal with this?

Great location for dinner, lunch and brunch dates! There's many restaurants around cocowalk I love the atmosphere here! The parking is a little bit expensive so if you can catch a pay by phone parking spot you're so lucky! There isn't many stores as it was before, nowadays it looks under construction I hope that many brands are opening soon around the area because is really nice. There's a Cinepolis here I've never been unfortunately. Bathrooms are clean ! You should try Romeo & Juliet ice cream

I remember when CocoWalk was thriving and an epicenter of The Grove. Happening restaurants, bars, clubs, and retail. Well, it hasn't been like that for over 10 years. High rent largely to blame. Currently there is a renovation occurring. The left side of the building which includes Cineopolis and YouFit is getting resurfaced, while the right side has been torn down. Where TuTu Tangos once stood, there will be a new office building with retail/restaurant options on the first floor. While I think the facelift is long over due, the office space seems like a detriment to the community. The last thing the locals want is another office building that will continue to clog up the traffic and create more parking issues. We'll have to wait and see how it turns out, hopefully it won't be another Brickell. It's a shame they couldn't choose architecture that is more bohemian and that would fit the community better. Currently you can still visit the movie theater, the gym, Gap, and a handful of other shops. Starbucks has moved across the street. The parking garage is still open as well.

I really like going to Coco Walk when I'm in the mood to get out and have a good time without all the hassle of other places in Miami. A lot of people go there for the shopping but that's never really been my thing. There are a few boutique stores, a shoe/athletic clothing store that's been around for quite a while and some other small shops. There are quite a few restaurants to eat at including the Cheesecake Factory and Green Street Cafe ( Love this place!). If you're looking for a chill fun place to go with friends there's SandBar. There are a few pizza places, a panther coffee, a taco joint... I've tried it all and it's pretty good. There's a movie theatre here too which I've caught movies at a couple times. Unlike some other theatres in the area I like that you can reserve your seats ahead of time. Saves you the awkward feeling of having to walk around the theatre in the dark looking for enough seats to accommodate your group. YouFit Gym is also located in Coco Walk which is pretty convenient if you feel like walking around and grabbing ice cream after an intense workout ( j/k!). If you have a gym membership you can park in the coco walk garage for free as long as you get your parking pass validated. Not a bad deal! Coco Walk is also a great spot to go with friends or bring the family for events like St. Pattys Day and Halloween Costume parties. Nothing Raunchy, very nice crowd and a lot of fun.

So different than what I remember. Boring and ugly... the only thing there were a couple of restaurants and crummy shops

In all honesty I hadn't been to CocoWalk in YEARS. Finally came back in March 2021 thinking that things would've settled with the construction and with COVID parameters. Summary: Mall is gorgeous, although part of me misses the original "Old Miami" vibe and aesthetic just a little. There are a lot of venues available in the area, but still various store fronts empty in the actual mall. If you were looking for a place that respected COVID safety guidelines, I'm not sure the Grove as a whole is the place to be... I also don't recommend this area as a whole for anyone that is immunocompromised as there is no respect for space or safety guidelines. Expounded: 1) Remodel: The mall is truly beautiful and very well done. They added a ton of landscaping and architectural elements, as well as new access points to the differing levels. There are also little outside seating areas set up, that allow for groups to sit outside, in the shade and just talk. 2) Activities: There are many stores open, but many locales are still not rented out yet. I'm sure COVID made all this more complicated. Though, there is still enough to do in the area for a day or two, at least. 3) Food: There are a couple food places that were added to the mall which look interesting, and there is outside seating for them as well. I ended up eating a little bit off the beaten trail that was a bit empty. A small Indian spot that was really good. I'll review that at well if you're curious. 4) COVID Safety: The area wasn't packed, but did have a lot of people out and about, walking, running, on bicycle, or doing other activities. Out of everyone I saw, maybe 1/2 of people were wearing a mask while walking, but of course no one near or sitting at the food venues had masks on so there weren't many masks on in the mall. Out of the mall, in the surrounding area, it went down to maybe 4/5 of people either had no mask at all, or were wearing it under their noses and many even just on their chin... literally not covering anything but their chin. No one really respected social distancing anywhere in the area and walked right behind you, basically on your heels. Now, I walk fast and they still were on me, I went with one person and she doesn't walk that fast, and this compounded the issue. I had to tell people often, to allow some space. Many looked unabashedly insulted and disgruntled at the request despite my asking politely and apologetically. Some simply ignored me and refused to give any space. I sat outside at a food venue, Fireman Derek, the pie shop which is slightly away from the mall. They had tables on the sidewalk which was very wide for the area and had them by the parked cars. I sat by a tree so the cars weren't too close either. The entire time, people just walked right around us to jaywalk across the street, or stop and avoid the pedestrian traffic, all the while just standing right by us without masks and talking over our heads at the people they waited for. I told many people to give us space and again, I was met with aggressive attitudes and even one person insulting me for politely requesting this. Even by my wearing my mask I had many maskless people shaking their heads at me, and giving me the side eye. Lol. It was very confusing given the times we're in. If you are someone that doesn't mind not having the CDC recommended guidelines adhered to, and essentially just going back to pre-COVID "normal", then this is the place for you, and it is gorgeous with a lot to do in the area. Otherwise, I'd keep this review in mind if you plan to go and be mindful of what to expect. There is no consideration of others that do wish to adhere to safety guidelines, and no one is really pushing for it. The store employees, police, and owners that I saw all simply allowed it; and often were a part of the problem. It was very jarring to see in all honesty. Don't get me wrong, I do want to go back... eventually... The mall was beautiful, and there are many new places speckled around the grove that I'm curious about. That being said, I won't be returning until the COVID situation is sorted. There are many other places in Miami with things to do that are safer, and honestly kinder. Places where people respect you and simply have conversations, and not don't just get mad at any request that may slightly affect them. If it wasn't COVID, or if the area managed this situation better, I'd likely have given 4 stars or even 5, depending. Maybe the day I go back I'll rate this higher. Until then, I was just not satisfied and spent way too much time feeling uncomfortable to really enjoy anything. Until the next I guess.

Nice new but not very appealing. Has and I kid you not a hospital antiseptic atmosphere. Shinny bright new and expensive. Didn't see any happy hour signage. I'll come back later much later. Yes I am cheap.

Honestly this place has sort of died down compared to how it used to be maybe say a decade ago. Much of the Grove as I remember it seems to have come and gone and Cocowalk seems to me at least to be really hanging on. It's not really a mall mall but almost like a little hangout place. The amount of stores here is negligible. I think the Cheesecake Factory is probably at this time the anchor of this place. Besides the Gap and Maui Nix which are both near the front I can't think of any other retail space of significance here. Chili's and Hooters are gone. Didn't Dan Marino have a place here or was it Don Shula...? I'm not sure if this place is more alive on weekends but it seems to have far less life than it once had and that goes for the entire area, not just Cocowalk.

No handicap bars in the handicap stall on the 1st floor, doesn't seem very handicap friendly imo. Got a quick vid but not sure how to post it

CocoWalk used to be a bustling shopping center for teens and parents on weekends. Now, a lot of the shops are closed down and look abandoned in certain parts of CocoWalk. While the rest of Coconut Grove is thriving with tourism and natives for the shops and popular restaurants and bars, CocoWalk remains a semi-detached area that people only really go to for the YouFit gym upstairs, movie theater, or the Starbucks. If CocoWalk can get the refresh it needs, I'll definitely come back more often, but for now I don't plan on going anytime soon unless it's for a quick movie or small bite to eat.

Due to the fact that Cocowalk had become quite ghetto we had avoided it for a long, long time. This weekend we went to the Improv and decided to hang out Cocowalk for a bit. Honestly we were impressed that it is coming back to its former glory. Its not quite there yet, but they are improving the shops, the theatres and the restaurants. Good enough for me to come back for sure! Now I have another place to hang out again besides Lincoln Rd! I still miss Ginger Grove across the street. Their Ginger Kiss was by far the best cocktail I have ever consumed. I know I speak for many when I say I am looking forward to better things to come here in Cocowalk and am definitely looking forward to updating this review to a 4 or 5 star one when it is time!

I haven't done the Cocowalk for a long time. It was once a rather cool happening sort of place but then, or reasons unknown to me, eroded into nothing but an overly priced chainy bunch of restaurants and gimmicky establishments. Hence a lot of the fun types like the musicians, artists and the more hip with it kind vanished for other parts of the Grove or move out entirely. I'm happy to say that the areas surrounding seem to being doing nicely and that the Walk itself seems to be improving but I doubt it will ever return to being what it was; its fallen out of favor. What it is nice for is what it may have been intended for in the first place being for a walk or a simple stroll. However, with only about three, at best, blocks of it, it isn't much of walk. I still enjoy it but long for the days of a more local, less big chainy, flavor to it. Miami area has an amazing diversity of culinary delights but the Cocowalk isn't where you find them.

I am the type of person who can analyze people just by looking at them - and what they talk about. I can also know if a place is worthwhile in five minutes. Coco Walk wasn't one of those places. Nothing new or interesting to offer. The stores can be found in any mall across the country and the food joints had nothing special. I walked around the area taking pics, but was done with Coco Walk in less than 10 minutes.

While currently under construction, Coco in coral gables offers a movie theater and several retail stores. Some restaurants like Johnny Rockets have closed and is awaiting new businesses to move in. Parking is a bit expensive and congestion to get to it causes some frustration. But the entertainment value and shopping should satisfy despite it looking like a warzone. Definitely don't come here on a date. At least not until the construction has ended.

Nice little shopping area at Coconut Grove, it was a rainy day when I came and visit so I did not fully enjoy the place - but it was still fun to be there with the babe. There is a movie theater, little nice boutique shops/other brand name shops and restaurants. Nice little hang out place to just chill and get the vibe of Cocowalk and the people around it.

Want to explore Coconut Grove and have a main area to start at? Cocowalk is a good place to start. It's an outdoor mall venue with your typical main chains like Gap, Victoria Secret, restaurants like TuTu Tangos, Cheesecake Factory, and an AMC theater etc. Around it is the Mayfair Shopping area (Banana Republic, Sisley, United Benneton), Johnny Rockets, Starbucks etc. But spreading all around it is tree-lined narrow streets that have indepedent boutiques and hideaway cafes, bars, and restaurants that are charming to explore and walk along. Parking is tricky here, its easy to find a garage but there are also parking meters. The neighborhoods around Cocowalk can be a bit shady so be aware if you wander off too far. PS: At night, this place really gets busy with a buncha folks looking for nightlife action, Cocowalk houses a Fat Tuesday and other bars/lounges. Nearby are pubs and bars that young college students bar-hop. PPS: This place also is a great area to people watch during the Grove's Halloween party night.

Nice, small mall. There are a few options on things to do here. You can either go shopping, eat, or watch a movie. If it would be your first time there, don't expect to be there for more than 2 hours. In the mall, you can either eat at Duffy's or Cheesecake factory. There's also a starbucks on the first floor. Outside of the mall, there are other options. They have plenty of restaurants like Peacock Garden Cafe, Greenstreet cafe, Lulu in the Grove, Lokal, and a few more. You can also go shopping outside of cocowalk, there are other boutiques in the streets ahead. If you want to grab a drink, you can go to Duffys or Fat Tuesdays in cocowalk, or Mr. Moes which is a block in front of cocowalk. The parking is somewhat of a hassle. There's a garage that's connected to cocowalk, but I am not sure how much they charge, but I know its pricey. You can also park on the street, it's about $1.75 per hour. There's also another garage that's next to the Sonesta Hotel that charges $1 per hour to park there. This garage is underground. Overall, there's always something to do in this area.

Centrally located and dominant landscape of the heart of Coconut Grove. I've been patronizing it since it opened and I love the location and the abundance of safe and covered parking. The newest addition and welcome addition is Duffy's Sports Bar and Grill.

As I am the "Duke" of Cocowalk (a dubious distinction), I hand this review down from my dukedom. A little history - back in 1990, the bohemian "Old Grove" had been in decline for several years. However, the opening of this open-air mall during that year effectively drove the final stake through the heart of the Grove's previous era. Throughout the 1990s, especially the early-middle part of the decade, it was immensely popular. Ridiculously popular. There was a movie theatre, one much nicer than the moviehouses we had around here at the time. There was this new restaurant from California called the Cheesecake Factory - and if the wait time was only one hour, you considered yourself lucky. There was Hooters, Tu Tu Tango, Howl at the Moon, Fat Tuesday. This was a time when Fat Tuesday was actually something of a cool bar enjoyed by all, not a place for scummy douchebags. Fast forward to 2010. Tu Tu Tango and Howl at the Moon, gone. It's absurdly easy to get a table at the Cheesecake Factory. Fat Tuesday is only really popular two nights per year (Fat Tuesday itself, and Halloween). The AMC, cannibalized by the more spacious Sunset Place AMC a few miles away, turned into a Paragon higher-class theatre. Hooters is still there, but the Hooters Girls are not even close to what they once were. Crazy Pianos attempts to channel Howl at the Moon, but I've not been there, so I don't know how "crazy" it does or doesn't get. Oops, I've just been informed that Crazy Pianos went out of business a few days ago. The mall also houses a cigar shop, a fro-yo place, a surf shop, and decaying brands that were at their peak in the 1990s, like the Gap and Victoria's Secret. There's also a Starbucks, which might be the best thing about this mall. I think the Starbucks has taken over as the real "anchor." For some crazy reason, tourists still flock here, and take pictures in front of the fountain. I wonder what they are expecting to see? I frequently sit outside the Starbucks in the morning. I can tell you that this mall's management is extremely concerned with cleanliness, to the point where they even sweep the leaves off the sidewalk every morning. That's all fine and good, but there's a glaring (or should I say "blaring") problem that absolutely needs to be addressed. The fire alarm. I don't know what these people do, but it goes off all the time. It's an extremely loud, high-pitched pinging, and it's the most obnoxious thing I've ever heard. For F's sake, SHUT THAT S*** OFF! No one wants to hear it! To sum up, kind of a lame mall. Its days are numbered, IMO. I could go 3 stars, but for the fact that you never know when you're going to be assaulted by that awful noise - I've heard it happen at all hours of the day.

Dear Cocowalk, It's so sad to see you are so empty, and the truth is you've seen your better days. But I have always been a supporter and I am not going to turn my back on you now. I'm hoping that maybe something will change, that somehow, miraculously, you will pick up the pace, and be the same happening hot spot of old. I was here the other day, and it was nice to see that there were people out and about, but it's sad to see so many stores closing around the area. I stopped into a few shops and even made some purchases, in the hopes of helping revive your economy. I know there were talks of a building a new movie theater where the AMC is, but not sure if that project's still on the table. I give you 3 stars because you are A-OK in my book. I still always enjoy spending an afternoon walking around here, having lunch at Cheesecake Factory, stopping into Fat Tuesday's for drinks... This place holds a LOT of memories for me, beginning at the tender age of 15. ;-) You will always hold a special place in my heart. Now I just hope the rest of Miami feels the same way, so that you can remain in business and perhaps even return to your glory. With Love, SabrinaAnna*

Can't believe I haven't written a review for Cocowalk, considering it's my neighborhood - just minutes away from my abode. I love Cocowalk. Yes, I realize it's not what it used to be. I also realize it contains a lot of touristy crap. However ... it's still an adorable outdoor mall. The surrounding streets and neighborhood are totally alive with bars, stores and restaurants. And I do think it's gotten busier since I moved here, almost two years ago. I wish it had more to offer ... but I enjoy what's there now. Maybe it'll never relive it's 1990's glory, but I don't care. There's a 24-hour Starbucks, a Fat Tuesday (regardless of the crowd, I'm a frozen drink kinda girl), and TONS of dog-friendly establishments in the vicinity. So basically, I love it.

Well this is kinda hard to review...mainly because it's Coco walk!! Let me start by saying if you have a brand new Porsche and for years you never tune it up nothing is done to keep it running like a Porsche should.eventually your Porsche would be driving like a Ford Focus!! And to me thats what's be done to Coco walk over the years nothing has been done to bring it back to it's glory days. Back in the early 90's this is where you had to be I was still a kid then but I recall everybody wanting to come to the grove. This place could be a whole lot better than it is but hell I will call it like I see it it's a Porsche with a Ford Focus engine. So just stop thru have a drink a Fat Tuesday and grab some wings at Hooters.

When visiting where I grew up, it never seizes to amaze me how fascinating this locale is! This area is one of those few and far between places in the world that seems to get better as time goes by. While growing up and into my twenties, this area was my stomping grounds. There was no Coco Walk, it was Hippy Heaven... weed sniffed here, love-in done their, hanging-out over their... oh-my! How things change. It's hard to decipher whether good or bad, but all things considered, as run-down as the area was becoming some years back, the complete transformation of this area is welcoming. There is so much to do here from eating and dining, to shopping and watching, strolling and relaxing, drinking and absorbing, picture taking and history. It's a short walk to almost everything in this incredible Bayfront area which boasts a chunk of Miami history... not to mention enjoyment! Just be ready for some heavy traffic and some congestion on weekends - otherwise, this is a must do, just minutes from Downtown Miami. I still love to go there when I can.

I heard Cocowalk/The Grove used to be THE SPOT once upon a time. Then sunset place sprung up with it's club, shops and movie theater all in one. Well now that Cocowalk has brought back their movie theater, added in some decent shops and restaurants, I believe it's coming back to life. (The fact that sunset place has gone downhill might help...) Parking hasn't been a problem the last few times I've gone, especially if you're willing to walk a couple of blocks past the lively restaurants and bars. There are several stores - one of my faves being the novelty shop under the stairs. Look for it b/c you might miss it. Fat Tuesdays, Hooters, Chilis and Cheesecake factory seem to be the only lasting restaurants but I look forward to the day when a non-chain lounge/club goes in that top corner spot. Overall nice place to walk around or sit and people watch.

Lame and boring little mall. Thought Cocowalk/Coconut Grove would be a lot more interesting based on the tourist guides but all this place is a tiny mall with basically a Cheesecake Factory, Tu Tu Tango, Hooters, Gap, movie theater, and some other random little stores. Bottom line: Yawn. Lincoln Rd, Bayside, and South Beach are so much more interesting.

Wow...what has happened to this place!??? I remember when Fats was the spot to be at, the parking lots where always full, and you could find anyone from a chonga, to a tourist from Germany roaming the streets...and now it's so low key that you don't see much of anything going on. What a shame! You can still find neat little stores if you walk around, but the life it had before is shining for its absence. The locals need to step up their game and put some life back into this awesome area. There is major potential here. I still think out of town-ers need to stop by and check this place out...it is for sure a little piece of Miami history.

I love CocoWalk, but it's in an area that used to have much more as far as nightlife goes. I remember the days we would go to Life and the place upstairs above Cheesecake/Chilis (it had a few different names over the years). Now, Sandbar is across the street and they have a piano bar and Fat Tuesdays. Not bad, but the best of the three is Fat Tuesdays. They have $1 jello shots, and a great view for people watching. There's usually a live band at night, and it definitely gets lively. This isn't necessarily a place to shop, but there are some stores there: GAP, Victoria's Secret, and a handful of others. One of the best new additions is the new movie theatre. They serve beer and wine, have reserved seating, and they validate parking. There are also restaurant coupons on the back of your movie ticket. I think my last movie ticket had 25% off one of the restaurants in CocoWalk. Lots of dining options here- Hooters, Cheesecake Factory, Chilis, Johnny Rockets across the street, etc. plus tons of other places just a few blocks in other directions. I'd like more nightlife options in the Grove in general (I miss the days when we would hop from Life to Oxygen to that spanish club at the edge of Mayfair). It's still towards the top of my list for a night out.

Cocowalk, also known as "The Grove", is a very unique destination in South Florida. There are many shops, restaurants, bars, and clubs in "the area". Cocowalk itself is a three (or four depending on store / bar occupancy) floor outdoor mall. You can't fairly skip the inclusion of the shops and bars near by as part of the main establishment. One of the major issues is that the popularity of the Grove can vary greatly from day to day and month to month. There is no flaw in the design or layout, it is that people are fickle. Unlike South Beach, there is no tourist tax and you will find many locals. Bottom Line: Not a tourist? It's a must visit. Tourist? It won't be your typical tourist location and may is lower key than other areas.

That big pink flamingo and I are pretty tight. I say hi to him every time I walk past. Seeing as how I'm a poor student, I can't rate Cocowalk on its shopping, but rather general ambiance. I love how its a mall that doesn't look like a mall, it really blends in with the rest of the Grove. Cocowalk is a great place to people watch, grab Starbucks and listen to live music (most nights). Sometimes I go there to study and enjoy it. I"ve been to Fat Tuesdays a few times and wasn't that impressed, but that bar on the lower promenade has pretty decent drinks.

A Yelper asked in a prior review, "Why would anyone still come here?". Well I can answer this question as I decided to be the adventurous tourist and wander outside of Miami Beach to catch some of the local flair. We asked our cab driver, whom does not speak English very well, to take us to some local shopping and sightseeing locations. Well this language impaired driver took us to Coco Walk and let the disappointment begin! First of all, nobody is going to buy anything from any of these stores. They are the most generic selection of stores with low inventory and high prices. Your Coco "Walk" will be short lived because this place is very small. You can make your rounds and seeing all the uneventful things, you will be done in this place in less than 10 minutes. As far as I can tell the main attractions here are a small movie theater and a Starbucks. This place was empty on a Saturday afternoon! Yelpers spare yourself the pain and disappointment, I took the hit for you, and avoid this tourist trap. There is no doubt in my mind that this place will have - CLOSED next to it very soon.
