Food Scene

Panther Coffee truly has changed the way Miami drinks java. The coffeehouse, which started as a cart on a bicycle serving cold brew at food truck roundups, now has three locations, with more on the way. Owners Joel and Leticia Pollock roast their own beans, curated from small farms such as Grupo las Cuchillas in Nicaragua. The coffee shop showcases information sheets about the growers, making your java's journey from plant to cup entirely transparent. The shop also serves cakes, cookies, savory bites, wine, and beer, all in a convivial atmosphere with free Wi-Fi and local art on the walls. Miami's hang-out.

Currently wholesale only, but wait .. cafe is opening soon ... Jim Lahey studied sculpture before learning the art of bread baking in Italy. When he returned to New York City in 1994, he opened Sullivan St Bakery in Soho with little more than the wild yeast he hand-cultivated in Italy and a desire to bring the craft of small-batch bread baking to America. His new Miami bakery is state-of-the art gorgeous and his bread is a revelation.
