Miami's coffee scene has grown up fast. From Wynwood's indie roasters to Coconut Grove's third-wave cafés to Brickell's sleek espresso bars, the city now takes coffee seriously in a way it didn't a decade ago. But in a market full of specialty claims and artisan labels, what does "specialty coffee" actually mean — and how do you find the real thing?
This is a guide to Miami's specialty coffee landscape — and why Puroast Coffeehouse at 632 S Miami Ave in Brickell stands in a category of its own.
The promise of specialty coffee is simple: better beans, better process, better cup. The reality in Miami — even at specialty roasters — is the same industrial flash-roasting equipment. Great beans, wrong process. Puroast does it differently.
Puroast Coffeehouse at 632 S Miami Ave is traditionally roasted — the result is a cup that's smoother, naturally sweeter, with more complexity and none of the bitter finish most coffee drinkers have accepted as normal.
The space matches the coffee. A lush, jungle-inspired interior in one of Brickell's most energetic blocks. TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice award reflects what visitors consistently say: this is the best coffee shop in Miami.
Start with the Coffeehouse Blend — Arabica-based, traditionally roasted, chocolatey and nutty with a clean finish. The French Roast is exceptional for dark roast lovers. The Bourbon Pecan is the flavored standout. Don't skip the avocado toast.
