7 Miami Openings We’re Already Excited About
Good coffee, clean food and new ways to move: seven Miami concepts on our radar, from Coral Gables to Coconut Grove and Sunset Harbour.
Miami has never exactly struggled with new openings. But every once in a while, a batch comes along that feels particularly us: good coffee, better branding, clean food, new ways to move your body, and at least one place we’ll inevitably start referring to as “our spot.”
Here’s what’s currently on the Wellup® radar.
Coral Gables
The Jennifer Aniston workout is officially coming to Miami.
PVOLVE is opening its first Miami studio in Coral Gables, which means Miami is finally getting direct access to the functional fitness method Jennifer Aniston has very publicly become synonymous with. The workouts combine strength, mobility and stability, with a big emphasis on what the brand calls “movement longevity.”
Basically: less destroying your body for sport, more wanting it to still work really well when you’re 70. We approve.

In presale; an opening date has not been announced.
Coconut Grove
Yes, the aggressively happy yellow coffee shop is coming to Miami.
La La Land is taking over the former LoKal space in Coconut Grove for what is expected to be its first Miami-area location. If you’ve spent any meaningful amount of time in LA, you probably know the drill: yellow cups, photogenic matchas, flavored lattes, avocado toast, and branding so committed to happiness that somehow it works. Construction is already underway, although an official opening date hasn’t been announced yet.
Consider our Coconut Grove coffee rotation officially disrupted.

Coming soon
Hot mat Pilates has entered the group chat.
The Wise Studio is a new hot mat Pilates and movement concept coming soon to Miami, built around a simple premise: sweat, breathe, transform.
And while Miami is certainly not lacking in places to sweat, The Wise Studio’s darker, more design-forward identity has our attention. We’re curious to see how this one translates IRL, because a wellness concept with genuinely good branding will get us every time.

Address to be announced
Upper East Side
The neighborhood deli is having a very chic little renaissance.
El Deli’s double-height ceilings, lovely lighting, and countertop we couldn’t stop admiring set the tone. Colorful, inviting, and full of personality, the MiMo space makes “just a quick coffee” sound a little unambitious.
The matcha was our favorite, and the coffee is very good, too. Everything is made from scratch, with no seed oils in the kitchen. Details we appreciate just as much as the interiors.
We can already see this becoming “our spot.” We’ll be back. Often.
Before you go
Now open. Extended laptop use isn’t allowed at the tables or the counter. There are only six parking spaces behind the building, so we recommend looking for street parking.
Upper East Side
Because apparently going to the grocery store can be a personality trait now.
We’re keeping an eye on Grocer Haus, a new Miami specialty-grocery concept currently in the works. Public details are still limited, but the idea of another highly curated neighborhood market filled with specialty foods and very specific pantry finds is extremely aligned with where Miami food culture seems to be heading. A Florida company under the Grocer Haus name was formed earlier this year.
Consider this one firmly in the we need more information immediately category.

Address to be announced
NU Real Food, Coral Gables
Coral Gables
The no-seed-oil crowd is getting another place to eat lunch.
NU Real Food is expanding from Midtown into Coral Gables, bringing its Mediterranean-ish fast-casual menu to Miracle Mile. The brand is built around real, minimally processed ingredients with no seed oils, fryers or microwaves. Think bowls, wraps, proteins and the kind of food you order when you want to eat “clean” without feeling like you’re being punished for it.
We can’t wait for NU Real Food to bring its warm, earthy vibe to Coral Gables. A welcoming space, good food, and every reason to linger a little longer over lunch.
We’ll share the address and opening details as soon as we have them.

Miami Beach
Sunset Harbour’s matcha-to-resident ratio continues to climb.
Honey Veil is expanding from South Miami to Sunset Harbour, bringing its very photogenic matcha and signature honey whip along with it. The new location is expected to include a small pantry retail section too, which feels dangerous for anyone who has ever gone in for a $9 drink and left $70 poorer.
Given the lines at the original, we’re mentally preparing now.
Before you go
Planned for 1800 Bay Road, Suite 103. Opening date has not been announced.
The Wellup® Take
The common thread here isn’t really Pilates, matcha or seed oils. It’s that Miami’s wellness world is growing up.
The concepts getting our attention now aren’t just “healthy.” They have a point of view. They care about design. They understand community. And, crucially, they’re building places you actually want to spend time in.
Which is exactly where we think wellness is heading next.
We’ll keep updating this list as opening dates drop. In the meantime, which one are you trying first?
