Café Compass: Florida
Reidiens is a reflection of our goal to try to find radiance daily; like how we feel while on vacation, at our favorite beach or while sipping a cup of coffee.
In this blog section, we'll try to bring you closer to our favorite activity: going to coffee shops and sipping the best coffee with the best vibes.
Here's a list of our favorite coffee shops, which we'll keep updating during time.
Mane Coffee - Boca Raton - @ManeCoffee
This is by far our favorite coffee in Florida.
Located at 500 NE Spanish River Blvd in Boca Raton, in a calm open air shopping center, this coffee shop houses the tastiest coffee in all of Florida.
From the silky foam in our hot lattes, to the cookies and pastries they offer, this café is our go-to stop in Boca Raton.
The birthday cake and the strawberry cookies are THE best, if we do say so ourselves.
The staff is wonderful and very welcoming.
There’s plenty of space for you to go with your laptop and do some work, or you can simply enjoy a cup of coffee with a cookie or a pastry, and call it a day, like we usually do.
We always go back!
Pura Vida Miami - @PuraVidaMiami
If you are from South Florida, you've probably heard about Pura Vida Miami. Of course, this isn't just a coffee shop. It houses some of the best salads, sandwiches, wraps and smoothies you might ever try and there is something for everyone; personally, we are big fans of the all day breakfast menu. It's definitely our most visited spot and we have been to most of their locations (Yes! We are that obsessed with them).
Our most-ordered food items are: "Perfect Egg Sandwich", "Kale Chicken Caesar Wrap" and "Pesto Chicken Sandwich". When we are stopping for coffee, our order always includes: hot or iced lattes, the "Welcome to Miami" smoothie and the "Lala Lemonade"; and to eat: "Vegan Walnut Banana Bread", "Almond Croissant" and the "Vegan Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie".
Our most visited locations: 8170 Glades Road Ste. K-1, Boca Raton - 460 S Rosemary Ave, West Palm Beach - 440 S State Rd 7, Royal Palm Beach - 2980 NE 207th Street #110, Aventura - 3818 NE 1st Ave, Miami (Design District).
Next time we go to the beach we are definitely visiting their new Delray Beach location (6 S Ocean Blvd). And, they also recently opened in NYC ;)
The Seed - @SeedCoffeeHouse
We discovered this coffee shop a few years ago when we were in desperate need of something refreshing after a long day at the beach in Boca Raton.
On our first visit, we had the Pink Dragon smoothie and some iced coffees; however, we don't think they sell that smoothie anymore. But you can be sure that their juices and smoothies are great, so any smoothie or juice you get will probably be amazing.
This year, we discovered their Delray Beach location, which is located right on Atlantic Avenue. One of our favorite things to do is getting our lattes and taking our morning strolls through Atlantic, browsing the shops and then walking all the way down to the beach.
They offer a variety of all-day breakfast options, açai bowls and delicious baked goods, as well as salads, quiches and empanadas you can have for lunch. We personally love the chocolate chip muffin and the almond croissant.
Locations: 1449 Yamato Rd Ste 1, Boca Raton - 199 W Palmetto Park Rd E, Boca Raton - 526 E. Atlantic Ave, Delray Beach - 2016 E Sample Rd, Lighthouse Point - 1600 N Federal Hwy Unit 14-15, Boynton Beach.
Buddy Brew Coffee - @BuddyBrewCoffee
If we were told that we could only visit one coffee shop on a trip to Tampa, we would definitely choose Buddy Brew - yes, we love it that much. We found it on our first visit to Tampa many years ago and it's been on our must go list ever since then - even if we are just visiting Tampa for a couple of hours, we always stop there to have some coffee.
We love the cozy atmosphere and the times we've been, everyone's been warm and welcoming. Our order usually includes lattes, either hot or cold, and to satisfy our sweet tooth we'll probably have a piece of the seasonal loaf, chocolate chip cookies and a croissant.
We're planning on visiting Tampa soon, so we are already getting excited about going back to Buddy Brew to have some coffee.
Locations: Tampa: 2020 W. Kennedy Blvd. - 1605 Snow Ave. - 3304 W. Bay to Bay Blvd. - 400 N. Tampa St. Suite 110 - 1910 N. Ola Ave. (Heights Public Market) - Sarasota: 1289 N. Palm Ave.
