Tropical breezes, pristine water, local cafés & fine dining, upscale shopping, fresh farmers markets, dreamy neighborhoods & manicured lawns, endless sunshine & exploring on foot - what’s not to love about the Palm Beaches?
If you’re looking for a quick Florida weekend getaway, take the Brightline to WPB and be sure to check out a few of my favorite places below!
WEST PALM
★ a.market on Olive: quick grab & go for coffee, gourmet food & artisanal snacks; find it next to AKA
★ Carmela: all-day brunch (I got the shakshuka) & farm-to-cup coffee
★ Il Bellagio: Italian restaurant in the heart of Rosemary Square
★ Johan’s Joe: quaint & cozy; amazing cold brew, Swedish pancakes, scrambled egg toast & green goddess salad
★ Pumphouse Coffee Roasters: STILL thinking about the Texas brisket & egg sammie on sourdough - holy molyyy
★ Salento: Columbian coffee shop on Clematis St; I got the coconut cold foam matcha
★ Sour Seed Bagels: absolutely worth the hype (and waiting in line for) - bagels are light & crispy, creative combos that hit, fancy coffees
PALM BEACH
★ Būccan Sandwich Shop: loved by locals; order takeout at the window
★ Drift: creative coffees with delicious food options (I must go back!)
★ Field of Greens: “matcha needed” protein shake was a dream
★ HMF at The Breakers: perfect spot for drinks & bites; great people watching too
★ Piccolo Gelato: sample all the flavors :)
★ Pizza Al Fresco: everything is so fresh; family favorite (feels like you’ve been transported to the Amalfi Coast)
activities
★ Rosemary Square in the heart of downtown for shopping & dining
