Carrot Express, the Miami-born healthy fast-casual chain founded in 1993, is opening a second Brickell location at Brickell Plaza, planned for fall 2026. The new restaurant will seat 72 — 52 inside and 20 on an outdoor patio — and will carry the brand's made-to-order menu of protein bowls, wraps, smoothies, juices, salads, and all-day breakfast. No confirmed square footage, build-out team, or specific opening date was included in the operator's Instagram announcement.
The Brickell Plaza unit deepens an existing Brickell presence rather than planting the brand in a new corridor. Per the operator, this will be its second location in the neighborhood — a same-market expansion with no change to concept or format.
Carrot Express started as a single neighborhood café in Miami in 1993 and has spent three decades expanding across South Florida. The brand describes itself, via Instagram, as one of the region's fastest-growing healthy dining concepts, with additional locations underway across Florida and beyond. No unit count or specific Florida pipeline was published alongside the Brickell Plaza announcement.
The fall 2026 opening window remains unconfirmed by anything beyond the operator's social post, as do lease terms and build-out details. The broader statewide expansion the brand has referenced would be the larger story to track heading into 2027.
