Café Bastille is gearing up to land in Miami’s MiMo District, bringing its modern Parisian brunch playbook and a promised "enchanted" backyard garden to the neighborhood. The MiMo outpost will be the chain’s fifth South Florida restaurant, although the company has not yet shared an exact address or an opening date. The concept, which pairs all-day brunch with intentional outdoor seating, fits neatly into a corridor known for mid-century architecture and walkable dining.
According to FSR, the MiMo location "will feature a beautiful backyard garden, offering a serene retreat for guests to enjoy the brand’s signature all-day brunch." That language points to something more ambitious than a simple sidewalk setup, hinting at a curated outdoor room meant to work for morning coffee, weekend brunch and slower evening service.
Local outlet WhatNow first reported the news on June 6, noting that the brand confirmed the expansion on its LinkedIn page, where the company listed "Coming soon: MiMo / North Miami." Neither the post nor the coverage offers a street address or a firm opening timeline, so for now the project is officially in the “coming soon” category.
Founders Estelle Bellegy and Ben Amsallem launched Café Bastille in 2018, then steadily expanded to Downtown Miami, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale and, most recently, Weston. The brand’s own locations page lists the Weston address at 1660 Market St and the Downtown Miami spot at 248 SE 1st St, underscoring how quickly the brunch concept has replicated across South Florida.

Why MiMo Makes Sense
The MiMo District, short for Miami Modern, has been in the midst of a revival as restaurateurs and boutique retailers restore mid-century buildings and pull more foot traffic onto Biscayne Boulevard. That mix of visibility, historic character and a growing dining scene makes the corridor an attractive fit for concepts that want design pedigree and generous outdoor space, according to the Miami Herald.
What To Watch Next
Before any official ribbon-cutting, expect the usual breadcrumbs: permit filings, lease signage and job postings. The brand often posts hiring notices through its careers page and partners like Indeed, so those listings may be the first concrete signs that the MiMo build-out is underway. Keep an eye on Café Bastille’s locations and careers pages for early official details and on local reporting for updates on permits or new signage. Café Bastille
