Café at Books & Books in Coral Gables now rivals the bookstore for popularity

miamiherald.com

The Café at Books & Books in Coral Gables has become a popular dining destination under general manager Jonah Kaplan, defying Miami’s typically slow summer restaurant season with steady growth. Kaplan, 33, took over in 2022 and revamped the café, adding breakfast, new dishes, and evening music. Business has risen about 25 percent annually, drawing a younger crowd while keeping longtime customers. The café anchors the bookstore, a Miami cultural icon since 1982, as a community “third place.” Kaplan says supporting locally owned gathering spots remains vital.
