Crema Gourmet Coral Gables

A New Era in Coconut Grove: Crema Gourmet Opens at Lulu’s Former Spot

Crema Gourmet Coral GablesMiami’s newest Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar quietly debuted late last month, taking over the location where Lulu had served brunch to Grove regulars for over a decade.

For 13 years, Lulu in the Grove held a special place at 3105 Commodore Plaza. While it may not have attracted the long lines of its across-the-street neighbor Greenstreet Café, Lulu carved out its niche with crowd favorites like Brussels sprouts and goat cheese croquetas and a laid-back atmosphere perfect for leisurely brunches and afternoon bites. The closure marks the end of an era for the Grove’s dining scene.

Crema Gourmet’s new location brings its signature minimalist aesthetic to the space, featuring white brick walls and seating options both indoors and outdoors. This opening marks the South Florida coffee chain’s 18th location, further solidifying its presence in the region.

The menu caters to all-day dining, offering breakfast staples like sandwiches on brioche and croissants, along with refreshing açaí bowls topped with fresh fruit. For lunch and dinner, diners can enjoy hearty quinoa bowls, penne pasta dishes, and sandwiches filled with prosciutto or chicken. Alongside Illy coffee drinks and fresh-pressed juices, Crema also serves wine and craft beer into the evening, making it a versatile spot for every time of day.

The arrival of Crema Gourmet coincides with a broader transformation of Coconut Grove’s dining scene. In 2011, the strip was defined by Lulu and Greenstreet Café, while CocoWalk stood half-empty. Today, the Grove buzzes with new energy as more establishments breathe life into this iconic neighborhood.

While Lulu’s closure has left a void for its longtime fans, Crema Gourmet’s arrival signals a fresh chapter for 3105 Commodore Plaza. As the Grove continues to evolve, it’s clear this corner remains at the heart of the neighborhood’s vibrant dining culture.

Nearly a decade ago, Grant honed his craft in Miami’s kitchens before earning national acclaim with two Michelin stars at Chicago’s Ria in 2012 and being named Food & Wine’s Best New Chef that same year.

Grant’s Maple & Ash opened in Chicago’s Gold Coast in 2015 and quickly rose to become the highest-grossing independent restaurant in the city and the top-earning steakhouse nationwide. The restaurant’s accolades include Wine Spectator’s “Best of Excellence Award” and a 2023 Tales of the Cocktail nomination for “Best Restaurant Bar.” Following its success in Chicago, the brand expanded to Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2019, further cementing its reputation as a destination for elevated dining.

The $4 billion Miami Worldcenter, already a hotspot for dining and entertainment, will serve as the home for Maple & Ash’s newest outpost. Co-owner Jim Lasky revealed in an interview earlier this year that the Miami location will feature three distinct spaces:

  • Eight Bar on the ground floor, perfect for pre-dinner cocktails.
  • Maple & Ash Steakhouse on the second floor, offering an exquisite dining experience.
  • lounge and event space on the top floor, ideal for hosting memorable gatherings.

While specific menu details for the Miami location remain under wraps, diners can expect the same standout offerings that have made Maple & Ash a hit in Chicago and Scottsdale. Signature dishes include:

  • Dry-Aged Steaks: Expertly seared over burning logs for unparalleled flavor.
  • Coal-Roasted Seafood Tower: A decadent mix of lobster, scallops, and other fresh catches.
  • “I Don’t Give a F@k” Chef’s Tasting Menu*: A bold, multi-course dining experience curated by the chef, featuring seasonal plates, premium seafood, and perfectly cooked steaks.

Known for its scene-y atmosphere, Maple & Ash pairs its culinary excellence with an unforgettable ambiance that blends sophistication with a touch of irreverence.

The addition of Maple & Ash to Miami’s dynamic dining landscape marks another milestone for the city as a global food destination. Whether you’re a local food enthusiast or a visitor seeking an elevated culinary experience, Maple & Ash promises to deliver a memorable meal when it opens its doors in February 2025.
