Cauley Square Shops

Came in for Renaissance festival. Great place to roam around, shop for trinkets, or enjoy the scenery.
They keep the place clean, ample parking, shops are easy to find. Wish I lived closer so I can venture more into this area =}

This is a great place to spend an afternoon with a friend if you want to just relax, walk around, and check out some quaint little shops. The shops have rocks, gems, jewelry, candles, organic soaps, shampoos, and clothes. I couldn’t help but buy a few candles and candle holders, and I already want to go back and get some more! There is also the Tea Room and the Village Chalet to grab a bite to eat. We ate at the Tea Room and it was such a lovely little restaurant.
I only wish that the paths were laid out more clearly. Sometimes my friend and I would be waking down a path and it would end, we weren’t sure where to go next as there weren’t many clear signs pointing to where everything is.
But as the sun was setting the lights on the trees turned on and the place looked even more lovely. I can’t wait to return!

Park is beautiful, but the management is not. I do not advise anyone to have their event here because you will be left in the dust like I was. I was promised that I would not be double booked with another event and that there would be security patrolling the area. That was not the case. I so happened to check their website and found out on my own terms that there was a sweet sixteen right next to my wedding. When I questioned how this is going to work to have two large parties with DJs playing all they said was don’t worry it’s fine. No it wasn’t. I could hear their music clashing with mine. No there was not security provided and any person who felt like walking through our party most certainly did. Also I wanted to order tents for the venue in case of Rain, and surprise they don’t even know their own measurements. So if you would like tents, expect to measure the space yourself. Seriously poor service. Do not have your event here.

I made a quick stop to check out this small village and look around. Not a whole lot to see, but there are some interesting small businesses and shops in the other part of the village, though I did not stop in any of them. Not too bad of a place.

Cauley Square is definitely worth a stop if you are spending a day exploring the Redlands. Depending on how much time you spend in the shops or eating, you can cover everything in about an hour. The Tea Room is a nice place for a bite to eat. It’s nothing out-​of-​this-​world, but it is inexpensive, quick, friendly, and cute. I don’t know much about antiques, so I can’t comment on the quality of the antique shops, but I had fun browsing around. There are art galleries and some other shops. I really enjoyed the shop that sold homemade soaps and scrubs. What I liked most was the beautiful tropical vegetation and walking paths. It was like stepping into a mini-​jungle for an hour. I’d definitely like to come back when there is an event going on– like the antique car show or the Renaissance Festival.

Cute stores and a nice place to enjoy a relaxing lazy afternoon. They have a few art galleries and boutiques to visit and enjoy.

I can describe my feelings after discover this artistic old village! Completely fall in love with it !

Stopped by this place just to take a look around. On the surface I had assumed that it only consisted of the bird shop (As indicated by the colorful building). However, I was surprised to see that it also includes different shops, restaurants, historical sights, and some sort of mini jungle (for lack of a better term) that is decorated in Christmas theme.
I did not get the chance to actually stop in and look at any of the shops or try out the restaurant but the next time that I am in the area and have the time, I’ll try out everything that Cauley Square has to offer.
I think that it’s worthy of being seen. I can’t be the only person that didn’t know that this place existed beyond the bird shop! I’ll update my review once I have had the chance to actually experience everything being seeing.

This is a must stop. Very old Florida, with all sorts of interesting shops and antiques. We enjoyed it. Huge old growth trees and foliage, with old Florida homes turned into shops. Fun to browse and find something fun and unusual

Love this place and the staff! I just had my wedding here last weekend and it turned out so wonderful! The owner Francis went above and beyond for us, and I can’t even thank her enough! There is also Siufer, she has a cute little shop in Cauley Square called The Forest Fairies, she does photography and she did my sweets bar! She also went out of her way to make me the happiest bride! I recommend this place to anyone who wants a magical night they will never forget! I wish I could give it more stars! Xoxoxo

Very pretty outdoor small business shops. Completely covered with trees, beautiful fountains, and photo spots. There are restaurants, gift shops, craft shops, etc. Lots of organic and spiritual vendors around. They use their venues for festivals and also for weddings and events. If you are in Homestead on the weekend, this is a must see place.

My cousin and his fiancée brought us here to show us their wedding venue. And what an adorable location! I felt I was in a Southern town in like Mississippi. Cauley Square offers shops and restaurants, as well as weekend events.
We arrived in the evening around 6:45ish but by then most of the shops were already closed. They have everything from a sanctuary, a new jewelry/​spa store, restaurants, food stands, flower shop and large open courts with vendors (these open courts are where weddings are held). On today’s visit, I saw belly dancer performers on one side of the court, and on another side there was a yoga class going-​on.
All of these shops were surrounded by a lush canopy of trees. It provides enough shade to walk around but around this season be prepared to be bitten by mosquitoes. By the way, be prepared to see cats, domesticated raccoons and big ass spiders. Some of the trees were lit with decorative christmas lights making it a romantic setting for a nice date or future weddings.
I am curious to try this place called the Tea Room restaurant. Until next time.

I have lived down the street from Cauley Square for almost 12 years now. I’ve seen it survive over 10 hurricanes, several floods, and even a fire, and I can honestly say this small shopping village is going to be around for a while. From the awesome parrot shop (which used to be an antique furniture store), to the amazing Tea Room, the square offers a variety of things to do on a lazy weekend. Walking the grounds is surprising because of how cool and shaded everything is compared to the rest of southern Miami. Entering any of the dozens of small stores makes you wonder how this place hasn’t be gobbled up by developers wanting to place a Target, Wal-​Mart, or some other stupid unnecessary megastore. They are beautiful, family-​owned shops that offer almost anything you need. I even bought my boutonnière and date’s corsage for my senior prom! All-​in-​all for me, Cauley Square is always going to be the gem just down the street that offers an extra special something that no one else in these parts can.

Cauley Square is a great day place to visit! Everyone is so polite. My family and I enjoyed our walk around exploring all of Cauley Square’s shops. From the Aviary to the Tea Room Restaurant Cauley Square was built for an amazing family outing.

I am not into the whole antique thing but if you are then this is the place for you

Watch out for the Raccoons. Its a cool little place to walk around and see the shops. I’m not sure how some of the shops are becuase alot seem to be closed

I’ve always heard of Cauley Square being a nice outdoor place that makes you feel you’re anywhere but Miami. So when I arrived recently for a friend’s wedding I was pleasantly surprised to see that the description was very fitting.
Yeah, it’s a hell of schlep to get here and the drive is anything but scenic driving through Homestead. But once you arrive, it all becomes worth it as it feels I was somewhere in the English countryside. Keep in mind I’ve never been to England, but I felt like I was there so that’s what counts. There are shady trees everywhere and it feels like a quaint village. The trees were lit up with clear Christmas lights so there’s a festive feel to the place.
There was a small, old chapel located on the premises where the ceremony took place. It was so historic and it looked like something out of Little House on the Prairie. The weather was cool and sunny and I could see how I would never want to come here during the summer months for any outdoor events. The setup for the wedding ceremony was nice and there was a separate outdoor area for dining. The servers were attentive and eager to please. Several times my hands were full with drinks and the staff offered to follow me with my additional drinks.
The food that was served was pretty good as I had the chicken Marsala. But make no mistake, the reason to have an event here is to be outdoors and feel like you’re in a small village. A really unique and fun setting that seemed miles away from Miami, let alone Homestead.

For a brief moment in time, your taken from the hussle and bustle and put inside a jungle settle with some small shops and restaurants. Such a gorgeous setting! I love the trees, plants and flowers.
The raccoons run wild in these parts, but got a few great pictures of the crazy little rascals. Event caught one doing the wild thing. I felt like I was on a raccoon safari!
most of the shops here are jewelry and brick and brack. It’s a really enjoyable way to spend an afternoon!

Maybe it was the weather (dull and drizzly) but Cauley Square while very cute and GREAT for taking pictures due to the amount of tropical foliage, colorful painted chalets and kitschy random folk art, was also a lot run down and maybe even sad looking.
Someone needs to take this place and give it a lot of TLC because it has such HUGE potential. Some of the stores had it going on. Most were closed.
But very cute little chalets, brightly painted, very nice courtyards with benches for sitting, random fountains (none working) with some great sculpture pieces, mature trees and great local foliage.
And a shit load of Raccoons like Robert C. mentioned. We were there just after a thunderstorm and there were about 8 of them frolicking in a big puddle. Fun to watch.
There’s lots of parking here, but unfortunately with a lot of the stores closed, not a lot to keep you there after you spend about a half hour rambling around.
The tea room looked like a really interesting place to try out but we had just stuffed our guts at lunch elsewhere.
Maybe on a Sunny Saturday when they have live music this might be a whole different place.

We happened upon this place by accident while driving around the Redlands… and it was a wonderful surprise! The shops are very cute, artsy and quaint. Mostly local artists and antique shops.
The grounds are beautiful — like a tropical island oasis in the middle of the redlands. The whole property is less than a mile long and ½ mile wide, but it is packed with thousands of tropical plants. Wonderful little walkways with benches and fountains are along each of the shops.
We didn’t go into the tearoom or restaurant, but they looked nice. Something to take your grandmother or mother to if they are interested in the old-​fashioned tearooms. We just liked walking along the pathways and relaxing in the shade. We even spotted the raccoons one tip mentioned — they aren’t afraid of humans at all, so be careful! They didn’t seem to even notice us only 5 feet away from them, but you never know when they might get upset…
A great place for an afternoon stroll or to look for some local art/​antiques.
