Celebrate National Coffee Day in Miami

Yes, today is National Coffee Day, so whether you like your coffee as a drip, pourover, as espresso, cappuccino, latte or cold brew, Miami has many great spots to caffeinate.

In the last few years, Specialty Coffee has really taken root in Miami-Dade. There has been a marked rise in restaurants and hotels that genuinely care about their coffee programs. Not to diminish the mothership of Miami specialty coffee, Panther Coffee in Wynwood, Coconut Grove and Sunset Harbour, a small group of new roasters have moved into the 305 including Eternity Coffee RoastersRelentless Coffee RoastersPer’La Specialty Roasters , and more are on the way. We have also been treated to some great cafes that have paid attention to both “how” to brew and “what” to brew. At the top of their game are Café Curuba in the Gables, Threefold Café in both Coral Gables and South Miami, Miam Café in Wynwood, All Day in Downtown Miami , Vice City Bean, as well as The Grind Project next to the Hungry Bear across from Miami Dade College in Kendall. Between these new cafes and Panther’s three locations in Wynwood, Coconut Grove and Sunset Harbour Specialty coffee lovers in Miami are driving fewer miles for a great pourover, cold brew or espresso drink.

This National Coffee Day, check out the new Setai Blend created just for the 5 Star Forbes Setai Hotel by Miami local Per’La Specialty Roasters. Guests can pick from a cold brew, drip/American or decaf espressos or if you are in the mood for a kick, try the Espresso Martini  The Setai 2001 Collins Ave. Miami Beach FL305 520- 6000
