Following a successful run last year, the weekly series has returned to bring the community together for fresh Neighborhood Bagels, coffee, and a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere in the heart of Coconut Grove.

NAVI Coffee & Flowers, located at 3213 Grand Avenue will feature Neighborhood Bagels available for purchase on-site every week while supplies last.

Available while supplies last, the bagel assortment includes:

• Plain
• Everything
• Sesame
• Poppy

Guests can pair their bagels with a selection of schmears, including:

• Plain
• Scallion
• A rotating weekly special

The bNeighborhood bagels have already developed a devoted following throughout Miami, with customers enthusiastically sharing their praise.

“These bagels are phenomenal. Truly the best bagels in Miami/South Florida right now. Can’t wait for my next order! Simona, the Miami bagel queen, so, so good,” said Catherine T.

Another customer, Andrei, described them as “outrageous,” adding, “Chewy and slightly crisp outside, soft interior. Absolutely A+, beyond debate that these are the best bagels in Miami.”

The first event of the season attracted an enthusiastic crowd eager to enjoy, and it sold out in about 30 minutes. Organizers are looking forward to continuing the series throughout the summer, creating a welcoming gathering place where residents and visitors can enjoy good food, great coffee, and community connections.

The Summer Sunday Bagel Series continues every Sunday at NAVI Coffee & Flowers in Coconut Grove. Those planning to attend are encouraged to arrive early, as the weekly bagel supply is limited and often sells out quickly.

“Coconut Grove has become Miami’s new center of gravity,” said Jaclyn Bild, co-founder of the top-producing J&S Group at Douglas Elliman. “The area offers a rare mix of privacy, authenticity, and world-class lifestyle that is almost impossible to find anywhere else in the world.”

As high-net-worth families continue migrating to South Florida, the Grove stands apart for its foundation of schools, parks, marinas, and walkable village character. Areas like CocoWalk, the Grove’s village-style retail and dining hub, has flourished in recent years with Michelin-star dining and incredible shopping, adding to the neighborhood’s appeal.

“Coconut Grove has become one of the hottest submarkets in South Florida,” says Sari Shapiro, co-founder of the J&S Group. “It is one of the rare neighborhoods where you can live, work and play in. The walkability and sense of community along with the top schools in Miami have made it one of the most desirable and competitive neighborhoods for condos, single-family homes and townhomes.”

The impact shows up in the market. Single-family homes and waterfront estates are trading at and above Miami Beach-level pricing, and long-held legacy homes are drawing aggressive bids from out-of-state buyers treating the neighborhood as both a lifestyle and long-term wealth play. The demographic shift is striking too. A steady influx of finance, tech, and entrepreneurial families who could live anywhere are choosing the Grove for its grounded luxury.

“These are people who are looking for substance and a real sense of place,” says Saddy Abaunza Delgado, founder of the Abaunza Group at ONE Sotheby’s International Realty and top producer in the Grove. “They want trees, they want community, they want their kids to ride a bike to school. It’s quiet luxury, and that’s exactly what resonates.”

While single-family homes have long anchored the area’s appeal, the development scene is also accelerating. Recently, roughly $734 million in new construction financing flowed into Coconut Grove for the Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove and Terra’s The Well Coconut Grove, with prices hovering around $4,000-per square foot.

Projects like Ziggurat are redefining the area. Rooted in Coconut Grove’s natural beauty and creative spirit, Ziggurat brings together workspaces, curated retail, and private residences in a lush, biophilic setting shaped by architecture, art, and community. As its residences near a sell-out under ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, the project is transitioning its focus to boutique office and retail leasing to welcome the next wave of local brands and culinary concepts.

Projects like The Lincoln are meeting the growing demand for boutique, low-density living that captures the Grove’s intimate charm, also being sold exclusively by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. This boutique project features a limited collection of 48 spacious, thoughtfully designed one-to-four-bedroom homes, each complete with a private in-suite den for versatile modern living.

OPUS Coconut Grove has broken ground and is on track for completion in early 2028, offering an ultra-exclusive boutique lifestyle with only 12-residence including two penthouses. Designed by renowned architect Kobi Karp, with interiors by acclaimed Brazilian designer João Armentano, the project blends a refined, urban-organic aesthetic with a distinctly villa-inspired sensibility.

“OPUS stands out as one of the most thoughtfully conceived boutique buildings in Miami,” says Angel Nicolas, founder of The Nicolas Group, who is leading sales for the project alongside Ale Alfonzo. “From the architectural pedigree to the villa-inspired layouts, every detail reflects intentionality and sets a new standard for functional luxury in the area.”

Competition in the area has intensified as longtime Florida buyers now find themselves bidding against out-of-state and international buyers, adding pressure to an already constrained market. The result is a neighborhood where teardowns fetch premiums and demand for the top schools is extremely competitive. For seasoned Miami real estate experts, the evolution feels like a long time coming.

“For years, Coconut Grove was a hidden gem compared to Miami’s traditional trophy waterfronts,” said Nancy Batchelor, founder of the top-producing Nancy Batchelor Team at Compass. “Today, the narrative has completely shifted. Buyers aren’t asking why the Grove, they’re asking what’s available. The walkability, the yacht clubs, the prestigious private schools like Ransom Everglades and Carrollton School, are all huge draws. It’s an incredibly sticky market; once people move here they rarely leave, which has turned inventory into a true luxury.”

Hosted by the Coconut Grove Business Improvement District (BID), the event transformed Peacock Park into the Grove’s outdoor living room, where attendees gathered to watch the highly anticipated Brazil vs. Morocco World Cup match on a giant screen overlooking the beautiful Biscayne Bay.

The event was full of engagements and surprises. Guests enjoyed a vibrant lineup of family-friendly activities, live entertainment, local food, and interactive experiences that showcased the unique spirit of Coconut Grove.

One of the evening’s biggest highlights was a surprise halftime show that delighted fans of all ages. Larger-than-life character performers featuring oversized head props of some of the world’s most iconic soccer stars took to the stage, dancing, interacting with the crowd, and posing for photos with young fans. The energetic performance was enhanced by colorful smoke effects and stage pyrotechnics, creating a stadium-like atmosphere that brought Peacock Park to life and had the crowd cheering throughout the show.

Soccer fans enjoyed a designated area for Taste of the Grove, featuring some of Coconut Grove’s favorite culinary destinations, including Ariete Hospitality Group, The Drinking Pig BBQ, Bellini Gelato, New York Roma Pizza, and Bartaco, giving attendees an opportunity to enjoy a variety of local flavors while watching the match.

The event also received support from members of the Grove business community, including CocoCigars, helping create an engaging and welcoming atmosphere for attendees of all ages. Miami Waterkeeper was on site promoting its mission to protect and preserve South Florida’s waterways through education and environmental stewardship. Throughout the evening, the Coconut Grove Business Improvement District delighted kids with branded soccer balls and a variety of giveaways, adding to the excitement and family-friendly spirit of the event.

Families packed the park throughout the evening, enjoying a dedicated soccer experience for children, interactive activities, and entertainment designed to bring the community together. The festivities also featured a lively halftime show that kept the energy high and fans engaged throughout the event.

From children testing their soccer skills to lifelong fans cheering alongside neighbors and friends, the watch party showcased what makes Coconut Grove special: a strong sense of community.

For one memorable night, Peacock Park became a gathering place where generations came together to celebrate soccer, culture, and community spirit. The overwhelming turnout demonstrated the community’s enthusiasm for world-class sporting events and reinforced Coconut Grove’s reputation as one of Miami’s premier destinations for family-friendly activities and community engagement.

The Coconut Grove BID extends its gratitude to all participating businesses, sponsors, volunteers, and attendees who helped make the Grove Cup Watch Party a resounding success.

Miami has become a magnet for transplants, globally mobile families, and ambitious young professionals building lives far from the support systems they grew up with. At the same time, lifelong Miami families are navigating parenthood in a city that can often feel fast-paced, disconnected, and isolating during one of life’s biggest transitions.

Expecting Together was built for exactly this moment in modern family life, when expecting parents need more than information. They need community.

Launching this August, Expecting Together brings small groups of expecting parents together based on due date and neighborhood for clinician-led education, honest conversation, and real community before the baby arrives. Sessions will be hosted at Ollie Pediatrics in South Miami, a membership-based pediatric practice known for its personalized care and collaborative team of pediatric, mental health, nutrition, sleep, lactation, and parenting experts.

Each cohort meets across four sessions and includes evidence-based education on labor, postpartum recovery, newborn care, feeding, mental health, relationship changes, and the realities of early parenthood, all led by experienced nurses. Because every family in a cohort is due around the same time and lives nearby, the relationships built during pregnancy naturally continue into postpartum life, creating a local support network when families need it most.

“Pregnancy is one of the few moments in life where people are actively searching for connection, guidance, and community all at once,” said Georgia Kastaris, Founder and CEO of Expecting Together. “Whether someone just moved to Miami or has lived here forever, becoming a parent can still feel unexpectedly isolating. We wanted to build something that helps families feel both deeply prepared and deeply connected.”

“We had friends who were already parents, but nothing compared to going through pregnancy, labor, and the newborn stage alongside families experiencing it at the same time,” said Mary Rill, a Chicago mother who attended an early Expecting Together cohort. “There was always someone who understood exactly what we were going through. Our group was just a text away, even in the middle of the night.”

The company’s technology platform supports each cohort between sessions with private group communication and ongoing access to expert-backed resources.

“As a labor and delivery nurse, you’re there for one of the most intense and exciting moments in a family’s life. But the support families need doesn’t begin in the delivery room, and it doesn’t end there either. As clinicians, we can’t follow families home or create community on their behalf. That’s why I joined Expecting Together. What happens before and after birth matters just as much,” said Aimee Stasko, a labor and delivery nurse and Clinical Educator at Expecting Together.

Expecting Together first launched in Chicago in 2025, where cohorts quickly filled through clinical partnerships and word-of-mouth referrals. Families described the experience as unlike anything else available to expecting parents. Miami marks the company’s first expansion city.

August Miami Cohorts Are Now Open

Families expecting in late 2026 can now register for Expecting Together’s first Miami cohorts. Groups are intentionally kept small, with just 8 to 12 couples per cohort, creating space for meaningful connections and lasting relationships. Cohorts are thoughtfully matched based on due date and neighborhood, and early registration helps ensure the best fit and availability. Expecting Together is FSA/HSA eligible.

About Expecting Together

Expecting Together is a clinician-led prenatal education and social club designed to prepare parents for early parenthood while helping them build lasting local community. Through small-group cohorts matched by geography and due date, the company combines evidence-based education, technology-enabled support, and real-world connection for expecting families.

The Mayfair House Hotel & Garden, located at 3000 Florida Avenue, has been acquired for approximately $110 million by entities affiliated with billionaire investor Paul Singer’s Elliott Investment Management and London-based Lifestyle Hospitality Capital Group.

The acquisition places one of Coconut Grove’s most celebrated hospitality properties under the ownership of a firm with deep roots in the financial industry and a growing presence throughout South Florida.

As part of the transaction, the buyers assumed an existing mortgage and expanded the financing package, bringing total financing to approximately $79 million. While public records reflect a lower deed value, the overall transaction included the hotel business, furniture, fixtures, equipment, branding, and other operational assets commonly associated with hotel acquisitions.

The property was previously acquired in 2019 for $46.8 million and subsequently underwent a significant renovation before reopening as the modern Mayfair House Hotel & Garden.

Originally designed by renowned Miami architect Kenneth Treister, the Mayfair has long been considered one of Coconut Grove’s most distinctive architectural landmarks. The five-story property occupies approximately 1.5 acres and features 179 guestrooms, including suites, connecting rooms, and private balconies.

For decades, the Mayfair has served as a defining element of Coconut Grove’s skyline, known for its lush courtyards, Mediterranean-inspired design, and unique character.

The sale represents more than a hotel transaction. It reflects a broader trend of major investment firms and high-net-worth investors targeting Coconut Grove as one of South Florida’s most desirable real estate markets.

Paul Singer, founder of Elliott Investment Management, relocated the firm’s headquarters from New York to West Palm Beach during the pandemic, joining a growing migration of financial firms and investment capital into South Florida. Today, Elliott manages more than $128 billion in assets and has become increasingly active throughout the region.

The Mayfair acquisition follows a series of high-profile investments across South Florida, including hospitality, office, and mixed-use developments. Elliott-backed real estate platforms have also provided substantial financing for major projects throughout Miami-Dade County, including developments within Coconut Grove.

As investment activity accelerates, Coconut Grove continues to attract attention from national and international investors seeking luxury assets in one of Miami’s most established neighborhoods.

For residents and business owners, the sale raises an ongoing question about the future of the Grove: Will the influx of outside capital help preserve and elevate iconic properties, or will it continue to reshape the character of a community long celebrated for its independent spirit and village atmosphere?

What remains certain is that the Mayfair House Hotel & Garden continues to be one of Coconut Grove’s most valuable and recognizable assets, and its latest ownership marks another chapter in the neighborhood’s evolving story.

About Dr. Sibel Eljach

Having transformed thousands of smiles across Miami since 2020 and previously practicing in Chicago, where she also attended school, Dr. Eljach offers extensive clinical expertise and a patient-first philosophy to her own practice. A graduate of the University of Illinois Chicago College of Dentistry and its industry-pioneering Orthodontics Residency Program, Dr. Eljach graduated at the top of her class and was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honors Society. Notably, she was the recipient of the American Association of Orthodontists’ Best Resident Award when she attended school.

Advanced Technology and Comprehensive Care

COCO Smiles Orthodontics is equipped with the very best of the latest technology- Cone Beam CT Imaging, Panoramic and Cephalometric Digital X-rays, 3D Scanning, and in-house 3D Printing capabilities- enabling precise and in-house convenience in diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient care. Her carefully curated software systems also ensure a purposeful efficiency she is just as proud of.

A Thoughtfully Designed Space

The practice’s design and build-out process was a very hands-on endeavor led by husband and Miami native Salomon Eljach, whose background informs a space that balances aesthetics, functionality, and patient comfort — reflecting the practice’s commitment to a positive experience from the first visit. Salomon, who grew up in Kendall, met Dr. Sibel Eljach in Chicago. He is an accomplished Commercial Real Estate Development Executive and former Adjunct Professor at his alma mater, the University of Miami College of Engineering, where he has taught graduate courses in Hospital and Healthcare Design and Construction. He is surely delivering on what he must have promised his lovely- one day building the very best clinic for her…!

Serving Miami and beyond

Located at the easy-and-free-to-park 2000 S Dixie Highway commercial building in North Coconut Grove, Coco Smiles is located near where I-95 also starts. This makes it convenient for places near and far. In its short time open, the practice has even welcomed patients from as far as Boca Raton seeking specialized orthodontic care.  

Its location in Coconut Grove easily serves patients throughout Greater Miami, including Brickell, Downtown Miami, Design District, Miami Shores, Key Biscayne, and Miami Beach. Even closer, along the US-1 corridor, are neighboring communities such as The Roads, Coral Gables, South Miami, Pinecrest, and Kendall. 

Grand Opening Celebration

The grand opening, which took place in late May, was attended by several supportive dentists and dental specialists from the area as well as other medical professionals and business owners who Dr. Eljach feels fortunate to call her friends. Included were several families from her and Salomon’s four-year-old daughter Zoe’s school. 

His Excellency Consul General Resul Şahinol was also in attendance. His presence reflected strong support for Dr. Sibel Eljach’s vision — and highlighted the growing Turkish community in our Miami, which is so palpable by way of the increasing number of excellent Turkish doctors, yummy Turkish restaurants, dazzling Turkish goods stores, and even the currently being built downtown tallest in Miami Skyscraper going up by a Turkish developer. “Our goal is to make every patient’s smile journey a positive experience, and yes, our world-renowned Turkish hospitality is certainly at the center of that effort. In turn, I am so grateful to the Miami community for welcoming me with such warmth. My personal fears of not speaking perfect Spanish are less every day as I continue to practice with my staff and even more so subsided when that Cuban Abuela brings her grandchild to their orthodontic appointment and only wants to speak to me about the latest Turkish telenovela! I have to admit, I don’t know them all, but I gotta admit they are indeed all the hype and, albeit translated, amazingly still provide all the feels!” COCO Smiles staff speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Turkish.

The project was designed by architects MIRTH Studio in collaboration with estudioLAAVA, whose work combines architecture, public art, and placemaking to create engaging experiences in the public realm.

Among the featured designers and creative collaborators showcased throughout the evening were Batuhan Yelgeç, Luz Solarez, Max Melch, Aynur Titiz, Deniz Titiz, Niluu Silksense founder Nilufer Bracco, Julieta Escobar, Thays Calmon, M.S.

Each collection reflected a unique design perspective while sharing a common commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and modern elegance.

Adding to the intimate and highly personal atmosphere, guests had the opportunity to meet and interact directly with the designers themselves. Renowned Italian designer Maria La Rosa personally styled our Editor with her Game Crochet medium clutch in the signature Susina colorway, a piece meticulously handcrafted using traditional crochet techniques. Guests were equally delighted to meet Turkish jewelry designer Özlem Tezcan, founder of 80 Monkeys Fine Custom Jewelry, whose distinctive creations drew admiration throughout the evening.

As champagne flowed, guests enjoyed shopping and purchasing custom-wrapped gifts adorned with the traditional Turkish evil eye amulet charm, a small yet thoughtful detail symbolizing protection, good fortune, and positive energy. These meaningful touches added a distinctive cultural element to the luxury shopping experience.

The celebration coincided with the Cabana Show in Miami Beach, where Yeliz Titiz attended as a buyer, discovering exceptional collections and emerging talent from around the world. The VIP gathering in Coconut Grove extended that spirit of discovery, creating an intimate setting where designers, tastemakers, and industry insiders could connect, collaborate, and celebrate the artistry that defines today’s global luxury landscape.

By bringing together international talent, distinctive artistry, and a sophisticated community of guests, Yeliz The Studio once again affirmed its position as a leading curator of luxury home décor, fashion, and lifestyle design, connecting exceptional makers with discerning collectors and design enthusiasts.

As the evening came to a close, the Cabana VIP Party at Yeliz The Studio stood as a testament to the power of thoughtful curation, meaningful connections, and the enduring appeal of exceptional design, where fashion is not only admired, but experienced, celebrated, and remembered.
