On this page (11 sections)
Women-owned businesses in Miami include a haircare brand built by three sisters, an apparel label founded by a Cuban-born designer, a Korean kitchen run by two sisters who learned from their mother, a Cuban dining room led by its chef-owner, and a bench of photographers, marketers and event producers you can actually hire. This guide groups them so you can find the one you need.
Every business links to its profile, where the ownership tag carries a source and a verification status.
Quick answer
- Order from KAZMALEJE for haircare tools built by three sisters.
- Shop Peace Love World for apparel or Happy Monkey Shop for kids.
- Eat at Finka Table & Tap or 2 Korean Girls.

- Get vegan cake from Bunnie Cakes.
- Book De La Fleur Designs for florals and event decor.
- Browse Verde Market or Frangipani Design Store.
Which women-owned brands ship beyond Miami?
Three are product companies rather than storefronts, which makes them easy to support from anywhere.
KAZMALEJE makes haircare tools and was founded by sisters LaToya, LaTasha and LaTrice Stirrup. Peace Love World was founded in 2009 by Cuban-born, Miami-based designer Alina Villasante. Eat Me Guilt Free makes protein snacks and baked goods. Check each site for current shipping terms.
Where do I eat?
The food side of this list is the deepest. Finka Table & Tap is chef-owner Eileen Andrade's Cuban dining room, built out of a family with deep Miami roots. 2 Korean Girls is run by sisters Jennifer and Michele Kaminski, who cooked alongside their mother before opening.
Caribbean and Southern kitchens run through the rest. Dukunoo Jamaican Kitchen, Lorna's Caribbean & American Grille, Clive's Cafe and Yardie Spice cover the Caribbean end. Jackson Soul Food, Conch It Up Soul Food Restaurant, We Shuckin! Southern Eatery and Chick 'N Jones cover Southern and fried chicken. Awash Ethiopian Restaurant is Ethiopian, Caja Caliente does Cuban tacos, and Grown is the fast, organic option.
For sweets and lighter stops, Bunnie Cakes is a vegan bakery, serendipity creamery is ice cream, and The Doral Yard is a food hall and events venue. Boia De and Recoveco round out the dining rooms, and Juanita's Kitchen Foods handles catering.
Who do I hire for creative and event work?
This is the category to know if you are planning anything. Circle of One Marketing and The Diamond Butterfly Agency are full agencies, the second covering event production as well. Harris Public Relations does PR and KechThis does marketing services.
For an event specifically, De La Fleur Designs handles floral design and decor, Eccessories by Ellen, LLC does planning and decor, and DJ La Trice Perry and Lady of Harp both take entertainment bookings. Lakiesha Nicole covers photography and creative services, and Annick Duvivier Art & Design sells original paintings by the artist herself.

Where do I shop?
Happy Monkey Shop is a curated baby and kids store, and Blos·Roses came out of a Downtown Doral beauty studio. ébène works in fashion and accessories, If Eye Ever does eyewear, and Frangipani Design Store is a design shop.
For the everyday, Verde Market is a sustainable marketplace, Buena Vista Candle Co. makes candles, and Pup & Pantry covers pet food and pantry goods.
What about wellness and services?
Place of Aroma makes skincare and wellness products. On the services side, Friends of The Underline is the nonprofit behind the linear park and trail project running beneath the Metrorail, which is worth knowing about whether or not you ever hire anyone from this list.
Who should be on this page next?
We add to this page as businesses get listed, and the categories we are most actively looking to add in Miami are attorneys, accountants, contractors, financial advisers and real estate agents.
The sources these listings come from are published guides to restaurants, shops and the creative economy. A woman-owned tax practice in Kendall does not usually appear on one, so it arrives when its owner adds it.
If that is you, a free listing puts you here, and you can claim and edit it afterward.
How do I make my support count?
Order direct rather than through a third-party app, which takes a meaningful cut of every restaurant ticket. Leave an honest review, since a handful of real reviews changes whether a small business shows up in search at all. Come back on an ordinary weekday, when steady business is worth more than a busy weekend.
If you are hiring rather than buying, ask for recent work in the exact format you need and get scope and timing in writing. That protects both sides and is the normal way these engagements should start.
Common mistakes to avoid
| Mistake | Do this instead |
|---|---|
| Reading this as a restaurant list | The creative, event and retail categories are deep here |
| Assuming everything needs a Miami visit | Several of these are product brands that ship |
| Booking an agency off one reel | Ask for recent work in your exact format |
| Ordering through delivery apps | Order direct so more reaches the kitchen |
| Only showing up for a big weekend | Midweek visits are what keep a small business steady |
