My daughter was in the mood for some Boba and I stumbled…read moreupon this spot. It is located on a shopping strip mall, very small (no seating at all inside) with 4 tiny chairs and 2 tiny tables on the outside. That being said we were still happy because we tried Korean hotdogs for the first time. For these, you can order the inside with only cheese, only hot dog or half cheese half hotdog. For the coating you can pick between panko, crunchy ramen, potato, sweet potato, rainbow cereal or Oreo. You can then add toppings and sauces. What we originally came for though were the boba teas and they have a good variety for these. Mixes can be done with milk teas, green teas, lemon teas, jasmine teas, matcha... and different types of boba pearls. They also have smoothies. I'd like to try their chicken gyozas, PAN-FRIED CHICKEN DUMPLINGS WITH CHEESE & BACON TOPPING. Keep in mind no seating at all indoors and extremely limited seating outdoors but the name says it "Tea Studio", meaning its main focus is tea items and it's a small space.

Another awesome experience at Salt and Straw. This conveniently located Coral Gables ice cream…read moreshop is simply perfect. The creamy ice cream a variety of flavor is including an option for my puppy simply makes for a perfect experience every time I stop by. Personally, I could go for the Chocolate Gooey, Brownie, and the Panther Coffee Chocolate Tres Leches every time and still think I had found ice cream heaven but I find it often necessary to go a script and try some of the other wonderful flavors, including the monthly specials. Sadly my dog is indifferent about the pup cup. Sometimes she's a huge fan and others she will turn her nose up to it. But never fear, the accommodating and wonderful staff is always willing to come through with a little dish of whipped cream that she will wolf down in seconds. Did I mention that that whipped cream is as good as homemade? When it lacks the old school ice cream shop, vibe and seems more touristy then I would like, it is still attractive and pleasant to be at in. The service is just so darn good that it matches the excellence of the product. Love it here and it's a must stop venue every time I am walking around in the Grove.

I went in already knowing what I wanted, and the chocolate brownie ice cream did not disappoint at all. It was rich, creamy, and full of deep chocolate flavor with great brownie pieces throughout -- definitely lived up to the hype. The only reason I'm knocking off one star is the service. The person assisting us seemed like they didn't really want to be there and was a bit distracted chatting with coworkers instead of being engaged with customers. That said, the ice cream itself was excellent and worth the visit. I'd absolutely come back again, hopefully with a better service experience next time.

Inside, they have table seating and ottoman seating, and they also have outside seating. The coffee and salmon bagel were delicious! I had their Blueberry Lavender coffee (a seasonal flavor), and I absolutely loved it! It made me want to drink more blueberry flavored coffee. But, the best part of this place is its staff and cause. The staff is super friendly and kind. Additionally, the place is neurodivergent positive, and I always love supporting a local place that supports creating safe spaces for all. I will definitely be back!!

It was cold. Not London cold. Not "shaken, not stirred" cold. But for Miami? Cold enough…read more My wife and I were cutting through The Falls, hands in pockets, moving with purpose. The old Starbucks was gone. In its place. The French Connection. Now that's a name. We stepped inside and immediately felt it. Warmth. Chocolate in the air. Espresso pulling somewhere behind the counter like a well-tuned engine. We ordered two chocolate lattes. Not mocha. Not syrupy dessert drinks pretending to be coffee. These were the real thing. Deep. Rich. Smooth. The kind of drink that makes you slow down and reconsider your schedule. Then came the almond croissant. Massive. Flaky. Golden. Warmed just enough so the almond filling softened and the outer layers shattered with every bite. We looked at it. Looked at each other. There was no way we were each taking one down solo. So we split it. Civilized. Strategic. For the girls, we secured a Dubai chocolate bar. Yes, it's priced like it was imported in a diplomatic pouch. But it delivered. Smooth, luxurious, and worth the mission. And then we met Karen. Owner. Operator. The woman running the whole show. She was behind the counter, serving the coffee herself. No pretense. No ego. Just genuine excitement about her café and about making sure we had a great experience. Six months in, and you can feel that startup energy. That spark. The kind that says this isn't just a business. It's personal. The French Connection isn't flashy. It's not trying to be the loudest place in the mall. It's confident. Cozy. Understated. Like a well-cut suit. On a cold Miami day, it felt like we'd slipped quietly into a corner of Paris without ever leaving Kendall. Mission accomplished. We'll be back.

Tintto by Tributo is located in the Shoma Bazaar food hall in Doral next to Sweet Manifesto…read more Parking is available behind the food hall in the garage for $1 an hour or valet. This is the perfect caffeine pick place to hit up in the food hall. They specialize in single-origin, high-altitude Coffee from Colombia that is roasted and handcrafted on-site. They also have some other great photographic worthy drinks like the Wild Purple Lemonade made with Butterfly Pea lemonade that I had to have. The blue in the lemonade is from the Butterfly Pea Flower. It is made from a dried, cobalt blue flower that is native to Southeast Asia. Its scientific name is Clitoria ternatea. Butterfly Pea Flower is a bright blue color and it is sometimes used as a food coloring. When you add the acid of lemon it turns a violet color which is how they achieved the blue/ purple color of the drink. As the lemon distributed throughout, it eventually turned entirely violet. It was expensive for a lemonade but I loved it. Other fun drinks include Passion Fruit Lemonade, Hibuscus Lemonade, Iced Santana Red Tea, and Oreo Iced Latte. They also sold tempting looking desserts which included colorful macarons. When you are craving coffee or a boring can of soda won't quench your thirst because you are craving showstopping refreshment, Tintto by Tributo has just what your Instagram ordered.
