the Journey of Threefold Cafe: From Humble Beginnings to Today

The story of Threefold Cafe began with a vision to bring authentic, Australian-style cafe culture to Miami. Threefold started as a humble neighborhood cafe in Coral Gables in 2014. The original location on Giralda avenue, a street known as “restaurant row” in the Coral Gables neighborhood. The aim of Threefold was to create a place where people could gather over specialty coffee espresso based drinks and a chef driven breakfast menu, using the best of local ingredients. From day one, we focused on providing excellent food and an exceptional coffee experience. Over the years, Threefold Café has grown in popularity, but our commitment to quality and community has remained the same.

The original build out and business was done on a shoe string budget. This included us building our own furniture using reclaimed pallets and performing the touch up renovations ourselves. You can still see our original communal table in the restaurant today.

From day 1 it was a family affair with us all working 18 hour days, sanding, painting and organizing the location to be able to open.

Some things have changed, but a lot is still the same: with that same hands on approach a core part of our culture across but Threefold and our other locations.

Australian cafe culture

At Threefold Cafe, our mission is to bring a true taste of Australian cafe culture to Miami. Inspired by the laid-back yet vibrant cafe scene in our home town of Melbourne, we wanted to create a space that celebrates quality specialty coffee, delicious brunch, and a welcoming community atmosphere.

Australians take their coffee seriously, and we’re passionate about every cup we serve, with expertly trained baristas and locally roasted beans. But it’s more than just coffee—it’s about creating a place where people feel at home, where friends gather, and connections are made over a shared love of great food and drink.

From signature brunch dishes to the relaxed, friendly vibe, we’re excited to share a slice of Australia with Coral Gables, bringing authentic flavors, quality ingredients, and a community spirit that makes every visit to Threefold Cafe special.
