A lively all-day brunch and pizza spot on Giralda Ave with standout service and crowd-pleasing plates; value is fair to slightly high and delivery quality can be inconsistent.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
CRAFT Coral Gables delivers solid neighborhood dining with exceptional service attentiveness and strong food quality anchored by well-executed pizzas and brunch plates. The appealing Giralda Avenue setting creates genuine street-level charm, though consistency challenges in delivery operations and premium casual pricing prevent a higher grade. Best experienced as dine-in destination rather than takeout.
Restaurant Summary
Set along Giralda Ave, CRAFT buzzes with easygoing brunch energy and the kind of service where servers are called out by name. Diners describe pizza aromas drifting across the sidewalk seats and say, "the room feels lively but still conversational." The street setting and welcoming staff make it a comfortable meet-up spot. In the kitchen, the approach is elevated comfort: Neapolitan-style pies, glossy brunch plates, and starters like goat cheese croquettes, all done with a polished casual touch. It is not avant-garde, but it hits the pleasure points—crispy-to-creamy textures, balanced seasoning when on form, and a coffee program that rounds it out. Most dine-in meals land well; delivery quality is more variable, so the best experience is on site. Families are well covered. There is a kids section plus familiar crowd-pleasers like burgers, pancakes, and Margherita pizza. Gluten-free pizza bases and several vegetarian choices help mixed groups, though very picky eaters may prefer the simpler pies and tenders from the kids list.
