Cafe Demetrio

  • Menu

Open since 1997, this charming cafe is about as close as one can get in Miami to a traditional Viennese coffeehouse. The music, the chessboards, the wi-fi access, the timeless Old World décor, the lovely patio...all encourage patrons to linger and relax. If you get too relaxed, the sugar rush from a sachertorte (or one of the other classic Viennese pastries), and a caffeine rush from a signature café Demetrio (a frothy-headed dessert beverage somewhat like a Cuban cortadito on steroids) will get you hopping.

A European-style coffee house just steps from Miracle Mile in downtown Coral Gables, Demetrio is a cozy spot where you can lounge for hours at wooden tables inside or catch up with friends in the busy backyard patio. There are often chess games in progress.

Order and pay at the register as you enter and then wait at your seat to be served. The shop brews Lavazza coffee and has the regular espresso-based options plus the Café Leo (sweet, creamy latte with caramel and hazelnut) and Café Demetrio (sweet cappuccino), all available iced, plus smoothies, teas and juices.

Hungry? There are omelets, empanadas, muffins and bagels for breakfast; soups, sandwiches, salads and wraps for lunch and apple strudel or cheesecake anytime. Departures from coffee-shop standards include a gyro pita sandwich, Mexican chicken sandwich and hummus platter.
