Threefold Cafe

#3 of 4 Cafés & Coffee in Miami

7.2Friend Score / 10

The Melbourne transplant that taught Miami what a flat white should taste like. Come for the award-winning avocado toast, ricotta hotcakes, and the Pope Benedict (hashbrown pucks under hollandaise), all made with Deco Coffee espresso. Honest caveat: weekend service runs slow and the small Giralda Ave dining room fills up fast, so budget extra time and expect a wait.

“Threefold Cafe has everything you want from an Australian breakfast: avocado toast, flat whites, and ricotta hotcakes.”

Frequently asked questions

How expensive is brunch here?
It sits in the moderate range for Coral Gables, roughly $15-22 for most breakfast and brunch plates and about $4-6 for espresso drinks. Reviewers generally call the prices fair for the quality and portion sizes, though a full brunch with coffee for two adds up quickly.
Is it good for working on a laptop or a quiet coffee?
There's free WiFi and both indoor and outdoor seating, and on a weekday morning it works fine for a coffee and some laptop time. During peak weekend brunch it's loud, busy, and table turnover matters, so it's not the moment to camp out for hours.
Is the coffee really that good, or is it just hype?
The coffee is the genuine draw. They focus on traditional-sized espresso drinks like flat whites and cortados rather than oversized sugary lattes, plus rotating single-origin pour-overs and cold brew. If you order a giant flavored latte you may miss the point; order a flat white to see why regulars come back.
Didn't Threefold have another location that closed?
Yes. The South Miami location on South Red Road has closed, which can cause confusion in old listings. The original and flagship cafe at 141 Giralda Ave in Coral Gables remains open and operating as of 2026.
Is there parking near the Giralda Avenue location?
It's on Giralda Ave in the heart of Coral Gables restaurant row, so street parking is metered and tight, especially on weekends. Your best bet is one of the nearby City of Coral Gables public garages a short walk away rather than circling for a curb spot.
What should I order the first time?
Go for the avocado toast (the 'I'd Rather Be In Europe' with goat cheese, sun-dried and cherry tomatoes, pesto and pepitas is a signature) and the ricotta hotcakes. The Pope Benedict, which swaps English muffins for crispy hashbrown pucks under hollandaise, is the cult favorite, and the 'What the French?' bread-pudding French toast is the indulgent pick.
Do they take reservations, or is it walk-in only?
Threefold is walk-in only, no reservations. On weekends between roughly 10am and 1pm you should expect a wait for a table, sometimes 30 minutes or more. Arriving right at 7:30am opening or on a weekday is the reliable way to walk straight in.
What is Threefold actually known for?
It is an Australian-style, Melbourne-inspired all-day breakfast cafe and one of the venues credited with bringing serious specialty coffee to Miami. It's especially famous for its avocado toast (often called the most-awarded in the city) and its espresso drinks pulled with beans from local roaster Deco Coffee Co.
