Rediscovering Miami: A Cozy Brunch at Café Bastille to Kick Off Miami Week

This week, Poinciana Magazine is celebrating Miami Week—a special feature that highlights the vibrant, diverse experiences that make this city a must-visit destination. While many Bahamians once flocked to Miami primarily for shopping sprees and quick meals between stores, the city has evolved into a cultural mecca offering far more than just retail therapy. Miami is now a place where travelers can immerse themselves in art, history, food, and entertainment, making it a perfect getaway.

To kick off our Miami Week feature, we’re sharing a gem that will please both locals and visitors looking for a break from the fast-paced energy of Miami Beach. Meet Café Bastille—a charming brunch spot that combines a relaxed atmosphere with delicious food and refreshing drinks.
