Top 4 Shopping Spots in Miami Shores

1) Village Place - Miami Shores Downtown 

94th to 101st Street, NE 2nd Avenue, Miami Shores, FL 33138

Fancy pairing your quick shopping run with a delicious spread?

Drive by 94th to 101st on northeast 2nd Avenue and find Miami Shores'  revitalized downtown area, the Village Place!

Here, you'll find a series of pocket parks to explore, a few specialty shops, and several restaurants and cafes, including Tinta y Cafe, Starbucks, and Sins Gastrobar!

And let me tell you, that's just the tip of the iceberg — aside from the three food spots, you'll have 14 more shops to explore!

Support local as you enjoy relaxing sights, unique finds, and delicious food — albeit the Village Place is more of a dining destination, it's the perfect spot for gift-hunting, shopping for homewares, and a quick grocery run from local business owners and the artisan community!

Who needs the long commute when you've got a one-stop shop destination like the Village Place?

2) Midpoint 

591 NE 79th St, Miami, FL 33138

For a convenient shopping spot around Miami Shores, visit Midpoint, one of Miami's first suburban shopping centers, just a 4-minute drive away!

Situated on 18 acres of land with 347,000 square feet of mixed-use space, Midpoint, formerly known as Biscayne Plaza, is your best bet for shopping familiar retail brands, including national retailers like DD's Discounts, Goodwill, Payless, CVS Pharmac, and Cool Js!

Meanwhile, for your grocery run, you won't have to go elsewhere, thanks to Sabor Tropical Supermarket, a Latin-American supermarket that's pretty famous for its hard-to-find food brands and grocery items — a must if you're cooking a new Latin dish at home!

And if you're feeling famished after your shopping session, don't fret!

Hanging out HUNGRY is out of the question as Midpoint also offers a few restaurants within its perimeter, including Subway and Domino's!

3) Upper Buena Vista

184 NE 50th Terrace, Miami, FL 33137

Magical, UNIQUE, and charming — these will be the first thoughts that come to mind when you visit Buena Vista's intoxicating tropical shopping enclave, Upper Buena Vista, a top tourist spot and the ULTIMATE destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment, just an 8-minute drive from Miami Shores!

This calming shopping sanctuary is far from your run-of-the-mill shopping center, often compared to a reimagined town square of a Caribbean resort village, making it the perfect spot for a DREAMY shopping splurge in the Metro — beautiful sights and all!

In fact, one of its distinct features is its small-sized shops, appropriately called "micro boutiques" and "petite boutiques," ranging from 250 to 500 square feet, which look like "tiny houses" of fashion, loaded with eclectic local and global finds — most of which you won't find anywhere else. 

Kathe Cuervo, The House of Findings, Clara Ochoa, and more — these up-and-coming brands are bound to change your lives and wardrobes!

Upper Buena Vista is also home to several food concepts, each promising a satisfying meal and unique cuisine, so after your shopping run, don't forget to grab a bite and call it a day!

Shopping, long strolls, and a romantic Caribbean vibe — indeed, Upper Buena Vista needs no explanation!

4) Biscayne Commons 

14681 Biscayne Blvd, North Miami Beach, FL 33181

Up for more of Miami's shopping highlights?

Drive to North Miami Beach and visit Biscayne Commons, a 120,00 square feet shopping center just a 12-minute drive from Miami Shores!

Adjacent to a mixed-use development and a university campus, Biscayne Commons has earned a spot in the hearts of Miami shoppers for its familiar collection of national retailers and services, including key tenants like ULTA, Publix, and Petco!

The perfect merchandising mix, if I say so myself!

Biscayne Commons also boasts a delicious lineup of sit-down and quick-serve restaurants in the likes of Playa Bowls, Zuru Ramen Bar, Oishi Thai, and Talkin' Tacos, so if you need to grab a bite in between shopping, you won't have to go elsewhere!
