Linger over coffee at Books & Books.

📚 Read over a French press

Books & Books Coconut Grove is an independent bookstore and café on Main Highway, part of Mitchell Kaplan's Miami chain founded in 1982. The Coconut Grove shop pairs full shelves with a counter serving coffee and pastries, and its tables fill with people reading through the afternoon.

Fiction, art, and design titles line the front room, and a French press arrives at the table for anyone who settles in to read. The café doubles as the shop's living room, where browsers turn into regulars over a pot of coffee. Staff picks and signed copies sit near the register.

The store sits in the walkable center of Coconut Grove, steps from the CocoWalk shops and the bay, and it hosts author readings through the year.
