Exterior of Books & Books bookstore in Coral Gables

Coral Gables

This locally owned independent bookstore, founded by Mitchell Kaplan in 1982, is the anchor of Miami’s literary scene and hosts hundreds of author events a year. The flagship Coral Gables shop wraps around a leafy courtyard cafe, so you can grab a coffee and settle in with a stack. Come for an evening author reading, then browse the deep Florida and Latin American sections most chains ignore.
