Banana Berry is a healthy-food café in Coral Gables, Miami: açaí and pitaya bowls, cold-pressed juices, smoothies and made-to-order wraps with organic ingredients. A beloved local brand since 2014 that needed a website worthy of its product.
The challenge
A neighborhood spot one block from Miracle Mile lives on customers who walk by, order, and come back. The website had to do two things at once: tell the brand with appetite —fresh, vibrant photography— and handle online ordering without friction, while also showing up when someone in Miami searches "açaí bowl near me."
The solution
A bilingual, Miami-focused site, fast and conversion-oriented.
- Browsable menu with category filters (bowls, smoothies, juices, wraps) and mouth-watering photography for each item.
- Online ordering integrated with Toast, without pulling customers out of the brand experience.
- Educational content (açaí vs. pitaya, nutrition info) that attracts searches and builds authority.
- Local SEO: business schema, location page, hours and data so Google Maps and local search surface it first.
- Loyalty extras: catering, gift cards and a rewards program, integrated into the site.
Key technical decisions
- Integrated Local SEO: LocalBusiness schema with precise address, hours and geolocation in Coral Gables, plus a location page optimized for "near me" searches. This ensures Banana Berry appears in Google Maps and local search results.
- Frictionless online ordering: Toast integrated directly into the brand experience, allowing customers to order without being redirected to an external platform. The browsable menu with category filters makes it easy to find every item.
- Bilingual ES/EN site: built for Miami's diverse community, with localized content and metadata in both languages and correct hreflang tags.
