Miami Eatery Bagel Emporium & Grille Returns With Debut In Coral Gables

Miami’s beloved Bagel Emporium has just reopened in Coral Gables as Bagel Emporium & Grille at 4000 Ponce, a nine-story Class-A mixed use office and retail development, situated at the crossroads of Ponce de Leon Boulevard and Bird Road in the City’s Business District.

The gourmet deli and restaurant relocated from its long-time South Dixie Highway location into a 9,053 square foot retail space on the building’s ground floor.

“Opening our doors at 4000 Ponce marks an exciting new chapter for Bagel Emporium & Grille ,” said David Strawderman, owner and proprietor of the former Bagel Emporium. “Fifty years since our founding, this new space gives us the perfect setting to continue serving the classic deli fare our loyal customers love while also welcoming new neighbors with expanded lunch and dinner hours and, for the first time, a full selection of spirits.”

Founded in 1975, Bagel Emporium has been a Miami-favorite institution for over 50 years, known for its classic Jewish-style deli fare, including toasted bagels, stacked sandwiches, and hearty comfort foods. The neighborhood spot offers a wide-ranging menu that spans breakfast staples like omelettes, lox, waffles, and blintzes, as well as deli favorites such as pastrami, corned beef, brisket, and handmade salad. Guests can also enjoy homemade soups, smoked fish platters, burgers, wraps, and fresh-baked desserts, carrying on a tradition of family-style comfort.

Developed by veteran real estate developer Ugo Colombo’s CMC Group, 4000 Ponce features a total of 150,000 square feet of Class A office space and 32,000 square feet of prime ground-floor retail. The Mediterranean-style building is the long-time home of THE COLLECTION’s flagship location, one of the most successful luxury car dealerships in the United States. The building is more than 90 percent leased to tenants including Steinway & Sons, Coldwell Banker, Hemisphere Media Group, Korn Ferry, Evensky & Katz, Pure Barre and JETSET Pilates. The building recently underwent a $5 million renovation to its interior spaces and exterior façade.

“Bagel Emporium & Grille’s opening reinforces 4000 Ponce’s position as a premier destination for business and lifestyle in Coral Gables,” said Colombo. “This new addition to our tenant roster reflects our ongoing commitment to cultivating a vibrant and curated mix that enhances the surrounding Coral Gables community.”

Completed in 2002, 4000 Ponce is located next to The Shops at Merrick Park, one of South Florida’s most coveted shopping districts, and is in close proximity to an abundance of executive housing. Tenants enjoy the frequent service of the Coral Gables trolley which stops in front of the building and provides access to Miracle Mile, as well as the nearby Metrorail station. The property is also within walking distance from US-1 and is approximately 20 minutes away from Miami International Airport.
