Clean Eating Oasis, Carrot Express, Makes Its Grand Debut In Sunset Harbour

City Guide | November 21, 2024
Carrot Express, Miami’s cherished clean-eating destination, has opened its latest location in the luxurious waterfront neighborhood of Sunset Harbour, South Beach. Renowned for its fresh, wholesome menu and dedication to clean eating, this family-operated gem has been a staple in South Florida since 1993 and now proudly operates 28 locations across Florida and New York City.

Carrot Express’ story began with founder Mario Laufer’s vision to bring nutritious, flavor-packed cuisine to Miami Beach at a time when such options were scarce. What started as a small eatery in a gas station on Alton Road has blossomed into a health-driven empire. Now, Carrot Express has made a triumphant return to South Beach with a brand-new space just blocks from its original location, marking an emotional homecoming for the Miami-based brand.

“It’s a surreal moment to reopen within blocks of where it all started,” Laufer shared. “We’re honored to be a part of this community and look forward to serving the neighborhood with some of our tried-and-true dishes, along with our latest menu additions.”

Situated steps from luxury boutiques, fitness studios, and skincare havens, the 1,571-square-foot Sunset Harbour location is thoughtfully designed to cater to every need. Whether guests are looking for a post-workout smoothie, a leisurely lunch, or a quick grab-and-go option, the space provides a welcoming and versatile atmosphere.

The new design features a modern bohemian aesthetic with neutral tones, splashes of green, and earthy accents. Communal counters, cozy booths, and two-top tables offer comfortable indoor seating, while the outdoor patio invites guests to dine al fresco under large orange umbrellas, surrounded by lush greenery.

Carrot Express’ menu continues to deliver its signature mix of nutritious and delicious offerings, now enhanced with an all-day breakfast and a curated coffee and matcha program available from 7 a.m. daily. Highlights include Jessie’s Breakfast Bowl, the gluten-free Carrot Waffle, and Ultimate Croissant Eggwich, among others.

Signature menu items like fresh salads, grain bowls, made-to-order wraps, and veggie burgers are complemented by new additions such as cold-pressed juices, vegan-friendly banana bread, and sugar-free cheesecake. Artisanal coffee sourced from Little River’s Imperial Moto ensures every cup is free from heavy metals, mold, and toxins, offering a clean and energizing experience.

The Sunset Harbour location reinforces Carrot Express’ dedication to providing accessible, health-conscious dining options for locals and visitors alike. Open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., the restaurant offers dine-in, pickup, and delivery options. Orders can be placed directly through the Carrot Express app, ensuring convenience for busy schedules.Carrot Express Makes Its Grand Debut In Sunset HarbourPhoto Credit: Courtesy

 

As Carrot Express approaches its 30th location milestone, including its upcoming fourth NYC outpost at Brookfield Place, the brand continues to make waves in the fast-casual dining scene. By staying true to its roots while embracing innovation, Carrot Express remains a leader in health-conscious dining.
