Miami Restaurants That Opened and Closed June 2024

You may need a croqueta and a freshly brewed colada with extra espumita from a ventanita in Little Havana to swallow this one: 19 restaurants and bars opened in Miami in June. Yes, nearly 20 restaurants and bars opened in Miami in 30 days.

From Blue Collar’s long-awaited new location in MiMo and the opening of the ultra-glam Casa Neos along the Miami River to Sanguich’s opening in Coral Gables and the opening of Japanese pancake café Fluffy Fluffy in Wynwood, the month of June was an explosive one for restaurants in the Magic City. The wine and cocktail scene also got some great new additions, including Magie, a laidback and Euro-cool wine bar in Little River, as well as ViceVersa, an Italian aperitivo bar in the heart of downtown. Oh, and a tiki bar pop-up called Diabla’s Cove just opened inside of Santa Diabla in Miami Lakes.

Unfortunately, Miami also lost some great, homegrown spots this past month. In June, Miami lost beloved ice cream parlor of 38 years, the Frieze in South Beach, as well as the Rubell Museum hidden gem, Leku, which was renowned for its Basque cuisine.

Without further ado, here are the openings and closings for June 2024.

The restaurant opened in December of 2015.

The Frieze: Iconic and beloved ice cream parlor the Frieze in Miami Beach, the city’s last remaining 1980s ice cream parlor, has closed down after 38 years. Opened in the summer of 1986, the ice cream shop was a home away from home for generations of South Florida families and Miami Beach residents who frequented the shop for its classic American ice cream. On Thursday, June 27, the ice cream parlor took to Instagram to bid farewell to its customers.

The Key Club: Former Coconut Grove hot spot the Key Club suddenly closed down after two years of serving happy hour bites and dinner. The CocoWalk restaurant announced its closure on Friday, June 28, just one day before closing its doors.

Leku: Popular Basque restaurant Leku at the Rubell Museum closed on June 30 after four years of serving Spanish food and its famous Basque cheesecake. “It is with a heavy heart that we announce our decision to close our doors. This ultimate decision was not easy, but it is one we have made with thoughtful consideration. We are deeply thankful for the incredible memories we’ve created together and the trust you have placed in us,” says a statement from its owners.

Mamma Leone Bakery: The beloved family-run neighborhood bakery in Edgewater known for its artisan bread, delicious croissants, and baked goods, closed on June 29. The bakery is one of many feeling the impact of soaring rent increases. “We want to express our gratitude to you all for your loyalty and your support that allowed our exponential growth in the past five years, and we want to thank the whole team for being an essential part of our success. We baked with love!” says owner Benedetta di Persia.
