Five Miami hotspots where you can drink Cuban coffee like Will Smith
We all love Will Smith, so when we hear that there is something that we can do to be more like Big Will — well, we jump at the chance. The Está Rico singer told HOLA! USA on the ‘blue’ carpet for the Miami premiere of his new film with Martin Lawrence Bad Boys for Life, that the one thing he needs to do when he’s in Miami is have some delicious and energizing Cuban coffee.
Something that was most likely influenced by the location of the film and some of his Latinx co-stars like Puerto Rican reggaetonero turned actor Nicky Jam and Mexican beauty Paola Nuñez. Will shared that working with them “was fantastic. The Latin flavor in Bad Boys for Life is on 10.”
Will was also able to work practice his Spanish a little bit, revealing “Bueno, hablo un poquito, necesito practicar mas.” Something we are sure he was able to do with Nicky, Paola and Mexican acting royalty Kate del Castillo.
In honor of his love for the “perfect” cup of Miami coffee, we’ve gathered the top five places you can get your caffeine fix just like Will.
Versailles Restaurant
Located in the historic Little Havanna neighborhood in Miami, Versailles is the place everyone thinks about when they think cafecito Cubano.
You have the option of dining in and having some delectable Cuban cuisine as a small starter to your café, or you can chat up some of the viejitos at the ventanita (another Miami institution) with your cortadito and croqueta in hand.
Larios on the Beach
Larios is owned by the King and Queen of Miami - Emilio and Gloria Estefan. So you can expect a lot of Cuban flair and sazon, so don’t fret y No Llores because you’ll be able to enjoy the scenic views of Miami Beach along with a steamy tacita de café.
Sergio's Restaurant
Located in serveral Miami neighborhoods - Downtown Miami, Kendall and Doral to name a few - Sergio’s is synonymous with high quality food and café. No matter the location of your choosing, you will always be in for a treat. Like Versailles, they also have a ventanita for those on-the-go.
Panther Coffee
Brought to Miami by Founders Leticia and Joel Pollock, this specialty coffee shop whose first store is located in the heart of the iconic Wynwood Art District looks to bring something a little different and special to the coffee scene in Miami.
Enriqueta’s Sandwich Shop
This ‘no frills’ sandwich shop is also located in the Wynwood Art District and serves up some mean grub and fine cafe. Stop in for coffee, a bite or both.
