Books & Books For Your Bookworm (Coral Gables)
One of my favorite things about living in Coral Gables is that we have the best independent bookstore in the country, Books & Books. If you have ever set foot in Coral Gables and have not visited Books & Books, you truly missed out. This bookshop is so much more than a book retailer. They have been a pillar of the community for over 30 years and have brought revolutionizing events to South Florida, including the Miami Book Fair, the Key West Literary Seminar, eMERGE Miami, the Brickell Avenue Literary Society, and many more. Stop by and ask a book seller for the perfect book recommendation or shop their online store booksandbooks.com. Books & Books has several locations across South Florida, but my favorite one is in Coral Gables and is located at 265 Aragon Ave.

CAO Chocolates
Coral Gables Love reader, Grace recommends CAO Chocolates, “they do not have a storefront at the moment but deliver throughout Miami and nationally. Their chocolate bars are each created from a specific farms’ beans and none other, so each has it’s own unique flavor! It’s similar to the way that wines or coffee from various regions taste different.” Shop their online store at caochocolates.square.site

Sweet Delights in Homestead
Grace also recommends Sweet Delights, “A one-woman owned bakery specializing in key lime pies and cakes. She is the sweetest and makes you feel so welcome when you visit! She even provides generous samples of her treats for you to try! Not only does she offer original key lime pies, but they can also include other flavors like mango, passion fruit, and guava! We visited her before Thanksgiving and while she’s holding on, she said her business is not doing well as it largely depends on tourism rather than locals for support. Buy a pie and support a local small business this holiday season. Sweet delights is located at 1485 NE 1st Ave, Florida City, FL.
