The Elia Cafe at Pinecrest Gardens| A note about refreshments: it's been a tradition for The Miami Pioneers and Natives of Dade members to share snacks and refreshments after meetings with social interaction. That's become a challenge, so we're recommending that friends gather next door to the Pinecrest library at the Elia Cafe for coffee and a snack or ice cream before or after the meeting. |

Next to the Pinecrest Library, the Elia Cafe offers "fresh food made with Greek tendencies" featuring a delightful selection of wraps and sandwiches, salads, spreads, healthy bowls, pizza, Greek pies, delicious desserts (baklava) and pastries, as well as breakfast favorites.

The fresh coffee, cappuccino and fruit smoothies are especially good.
