CocoWalk

Pretty much dead in the water. When CocoWalk opened, decades ago, it was such a cool place. The shops and restaurants were very trendy and many were upscale. It was great sitting on the bar balcony at TuTuTango, munching on little plates, drinking generous amounts of alcohol and watching the Hari Krishna below, chanting and dancing in their robes. The Comedy Club had some pretty good shows and the shop vendors didn’t sell crap. I really want to give it one star at this moment but it is the holidays and I’m being «nice». Now, there’s nothing to do. The Cheesecake Factory at Dadeland is better, movie theaters abound and CocoWalk has nothing special to offer. So sad. I’m amazed that some developer hasn’t purchased it and brought it back to its heyday but the Grove is not what it once was. Double sad.

Nice, small mall. There are a few options on things to do here. You can either go shopping, eat, or watch a movie. If it would be your first time there, don’t expect to be there for more than 2 hours.
In the mall, you can either eat at Duffy’s or Cheesecake factory. There’s also a starbucks on the first floor. Outside of the mall, there are other options. They have plenty of restaurants like Peacock Garden Café, Greenstreet café, Lulu in the Grove, Lokal, and a few more. You can also go shopping outside of cocowalk, there are other boutiques in the streets ahead.
If you want to grab a drink, you can go to Duffys or Fat Tuesdays in cocowalk, or Mr. Moes which is a block in front of cocowalk.
The parking is somewhat of a hassle. There’s a garage that’s connected to cocowalk, but I am not sure how much they charge, but I know its pricey. You can also park on the street, it’s about $ 1.75 per hour. There’s also another garage that’s next to the Sonesta Hotel that charges $ 1 per hour to park there. This garage is underground.
Overall, there’s always something to do in this area.

Este shopping é muito legal, recomendo também dar uma volta na redondeza, tem muitos bares, lojas, parques ao ar livre, marinas e até um cinema, lugar encantador. Como é muito bem frequentado recomendo chegar cedo porque fica muito difícil estacionar

Parking is ridiculously expensive. I only parked my car for an hour, they charged me «9» dollars. Will never go back to this place!!!

Crazy times great restaurants beautiful people great shopping. Pan AM nostalgic store really cool. Great Cigar Shoppe and superb drinking hole choices

Honestly this place has sort of died down compared to how it used to be maybe say a decade ago. Much of the Grove as I remember it seems to have come and gone and Cocowalk seems to me at least to be really hanging on.
It’s not really a mall mall but almost like a little hangout place. The amount of stores here is negligible. I think the Cheesecake Factory is probably at this time the anchor of this place. Besides the Gap and Maui Nix which are both near the front I can’t think of any other retail space of significance here. Chili’s and Hooters are gone. Didn’t Dan Marino have a place here or was it Don Shula???
I’m not sure if this place is more alive on weekends but it seems to have far less life than it once had and that goes for the entire area, not just Cocowalk.

A great movie theater is located there, you can buy your movie ticket on the computer, seats are numbered, and you can buy alcohol, entrance fee 11.50

Love going to the breezy & live outside mall under the Miami tropical stars. The front middle fountain under Fat Tuesday is a perfect meet up point. There are kiosk vendors selling jewelry & very cute other items. This mall has many stores, restaurants & movies. Including a Victoria Secret & white & black shops. Has the convinient indoor parking garage.

I used to love coming here in the 90’s, this place had a great feel back then. There used to be spray paint artists that would paint up some really cool pictures. I have some of them that I got back then still. There also used to be a metallic painted man there that was entertaining. Well I came here on a Saturday night and the artists were no where to be found. There weren’t a lot of stores here. Parking was the biggest rip off at $ 9 flat rate on a Saturday.

Aaahhh Coco Walk. So many memories here! From going clubbing long time ago and pizza at 3 am to movies and family dinners in the most recent years.
There’s a good selection of stores, coffee shops (Starbucks), ice cream, bars (Fat Tuesday, Sandbar), Hookah place and tattoo/​piercing parlors.
You also have different food choices. Here are some I can remember now:
–The Cheesecake Factory
–Chilli’s
–Hooters
–Duffy’s Sports Bar
–Johnny Rockets
–Italian restaurants
–Pizza places
It also has a Paragon movie theater which is very nice.
They have live music at night.
All in all I don’t think it’s a bad place to hang out and spend some time.

I love Coconut Grove and Coco Walk but I wish they would put a few more stores here. The movie theater is great and you cant beat having a Cheesecake Factory right there but you can’t help but notice that its lacking in the retail arena.

Schade, wir ließen uns durch einen Reiseführer hierher locken.
In unserm Florida-​Online-​Guide stand das hier die Mode von Morgen verkauft wird,…
???
Na ja, es ist eher ein mit der Brechstange gestaltetes Tourimöchtegernpartyeck.
No Way, das war verschwendete Lebenszeit.

this is a great sunday afternoon got nothing else to do spot. there are a couple of stores, some chains some boutiques, starbucks and movie theater, cheesecake factory and a couple of bars. they have activities all thruout the year for family and bring out all the stops for the kids.
Parking is expensive unless you are going to the movies but it is usually plentifull. You can also park here and work towards the streets in front that have more lokal restuarants.

Cocowalk has been pretty consistent throughout the years. This used to be THE place in the Grove many years back.
The movie theater here is excellent and there are a few favorites such as Cheesecake Factory and Starbucks. They do have a lot of live music playing in the courtyard which is nice and Bice always seems to be buzzing.
Other than that, the place is a little dead. There was a beergarden place a few years back but failed as it wasn’t an authentic beergarden. Something like that would do very well here.

It’s a great place to kill time, people watch, or just meet up before heading to the many bars and restaurants that are just a short walk away. The third floor movie theatre is great as well.

Centrally located and dominant landscape of the heart of Coconut Grove. I’ve been patronizing it since it opened and I love the location and the abundance of safe and covered parking.
The newest addition and welcome addition is Duffy’s Sports Bar and Grill.

Neat outdoor shopping spot in the middle of a not so great area. Get 2 – 3 blocks outside of here and you will see what I mean.
Great «First Flight Pan Am» store here though. Really neat vintage items.
I tried 2 appetizers from the Bice Bistro while listening to live music during their 50% off happy hour menu. The ceviche was good, and the scallop soup thingy was very flavorful as well.
Does this place blow other places out of the water? No, and good luck on parking as well! Hopefully you can get a spot in the parking garage. If not, you are walking for quiet awhile.

I remember when I used to be a student at the University of Miami, the Grove and Cocowalk used to be the «go-​to spot» on Thursday nights. There were bars such as Sandbar and Tavern where you could drink to your heart’s content. It was a good time and the ideal place to go bar hopping.
However, as a young adult, I see Cocowalk for what it offers– overpriced shops, a place where you can catch a good breeze and frozen drink from Fat Tuesdays, and signature restaurants. I highly recommend grabbing a pizza here and just chatting with good friends.
It is a good place to take a late night walk. Sometimes, the street parking can be a joy killer because you may be forced to park in an overpriced lot due to lack of parking.

Wow… what has happened to this place???
I remember when Fats was the spot to be at, the parking lots where always full, and you could find anyone from a chonga, to a tourist from Germany roaming the streets… and now it’s so low key that you don’t see much of anything going on. What a shame!
You can still find neat little stores if you walk around, but the life it had before is shining for its absence. The locals need to step up their game and put some life back into this awesome area. There is major potential here.
I still think out of town-​ers need to stop by and check this place out… it is for sure a little piece of Miami history.

The entire Cocowalk area is an awesome place to visit and hangout. Boutique shops, restaurants and bars (mostly corporate) as well as a great movie theater make this a must see neighborhood destination.
As for actually shopping and dining, before you sit down, make sure you visit the surrounding neighborhood for a wider variety of choices and family/​local owned places.
We live 2 blocks from it and love the energy and variety most of the time but it can become mundane and boring after a while.

I am the type of person who can analyze people just by looking at them — and what they talk about. I can also know if a place is worthwhile in five minutes. Coco Walk wasn’t one of those places. Nothing new or interesting to offer. The stores can be found in any mall across the country and the food joints had nothing special.
I walked around the area taking pics, but was done with Coco Walk in less than 10 minutes.

I haven’t done the Cocowalk for a long time. It was once a rather cool happening sort of place but then, or reasons unknown to me, eroded into nothing but an overly priced chainy bunch of restaurants and gimmicky establishments. Hence a lot of the fun types like the musicians, artists and the more hip with it kind vanished for other parts of the Grove or move out entirely. I’m happy to say that the areas surrounding seem to being doing nicely and that the Walk itself seems to be improving but I doubt it will ever return to being what it was; its fallen out of favor.
What it is nice for is what it may have been intended for in the first place being for a walk or a simple stroll. However, with only about three, at best, blocks of it, it isn’t much of walk. I still enjoy it but long for the days of a more local, less big chainy, flavor to it. Miami area has an amazing diversity of culinary delights but the Cocowalk isn’t where you find them.
