When Flagler’s railroad reached Goulds in 1903, William Cauley could easily pack his tomatoes and ship them north on a daily basis. This millionaire farmer and businessman developed a series of warehouses and offices, a bar and grill and residences within a ten acre plot along side the railroad tracks. Many of the small wooden homes still standing were hand built by pioneers of South Dade in the early 1900’s.
Today, Cauley Square is a delightful combination of old Florida shops, antique and arts and crafts stores and a famous tea room. This artisan village is the inspiration of the late Mary Anne Ballard who converted this aging Goulds apartment building and a group of century-old dwellings into a unique shopping and dining experience.
Heavily damaged in 1992 by Hurricane Andrew, Cauley Square is now restored to its past glory with beautiful pathways through the wooded areas, fountains, statues, music emanating from hidden sources and beautiful plazas thanks to owner Frances Varela and her talented staff of property managers.

As a farmer specializing in tropical fruits, Robert has been featured on NBC’s Today Show, on World News Tonight, and in newspapers and magazines across the country. He’ll happily tell you how to get to the airboat rides, and where to get a great meal, what that strange plant was you saw in Everglades National Park. But don’t bet on leaving his fruit stand empty-handed; you’d have a hard time resisting the wonderful aromas of fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruits like Monstera Deliciosa, which looks like a giant green ear of corn but tastes like banana and pineapple; Carambola, or “Star Fruit”; Mamey; Lychee; Atemoya; Papaya; and in summer Robert’s pride and joy – MANGOS! He’ll cut them up for you to eat as you wander through the jars and jellies and preserves; many from his mother’s recipes. Over on the other side of the stand, you’ll notice lots of activity. People line up for the fresh fruit milkshakes and homemade Key Lime pies. For a truly delicious treat, try our Key Lime milkshake.
