A Tradional Italian Bar and Coffee shop in Edgewater Miami.

Pinocchio: A Charming Coffee Haven close to Downtown Miami

Starting with the series talking about the best coffee shops in Miami, here you will find an honest opinion from a resident about places that probably only locals know about. Today's one is an Italian coffee bar located in Edgewater across from Margaret Pace Park. The first thing that catches your eye is the name of the place: Pinocchio, the famous comic book character. The place not only takes its name from the character but also takes it seriously with its very themed decor.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful coffee shop/bar with character near downtown Miami, Pinocchio is a great gem you have to visit. I can say that the place is not hidden but also is very discreet, It has a big busch of plants that gives it a charm and makes the area with the tables outside more private.

The Atmosphere

From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a storybook. Pinocchio’s décor is a perfect blend of rustic charm and playful touches, featuring wooden accents, soft lighting, and murals inspired by the beloved tale of the wooden boy who dreamed of becoming real. Every detail feels thoughtful, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful morning coffee or a casual afternoon catch-up with friends.

The Menu

Pinocchio’s menu is as delightful as its ambiance. Coffee lovers can choose from expertly brewed classics like lattes and cortados or explore their signature creations, such as the Cafe Pinocchio—a rich blend of espresso, steamed milk, cinnamon, and chocolate on top.

For non-coffee drinkers, they have five options of matcha and options of fresh juices that you can create your own. I loved this option.

What impressed me was the fact that they have a wine menu with 30 options, including red wine, white, rose, and pro-seco.  

To eat, they have the traditional Paninis with nine options for you to choose from, and you can create your own if you want a different combination. They also have bruschettas, pizzas, and salads.

As an Italian coffee shop/ bar, they also have gelatos, cakes, and pastries. Could it be more versatile?

The Enjoyable Edgewater Area

I like that area in Miami, It's so cool, we have a park with a bay view, it's really enjoyable to spend some time there working on your laptop or just having a coffee or wine with a friend.

You Should Visit
