Great veggie and vegan choices. You can't beat this place for originality and a yummy and unique menu. I had the mahi ceviche and tofu couscous stir fry....both mouth watering!! Plus you have this amazing library and book store, inside and outside seating and fresh baked goods!! We live a good hour away, just stopped in as we had an appointment next door but would gladly make the drive for this place.

This fashionable shopping center with sophisticated stores and amazing restaurants is located in Coral Gables. This mall is mostly an outdoor one, but it has a roof that could be great for rainy and sunny days. Gucci, Tiffany, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Sawa are among their fine stores and restaurants you can find in here. It's a great place for the whole family, we love this mall.
