Vice City Bean

Miami, Florida

A community-focused roaster in Little Haiti that's quietly become one of the best cups in the city. The beans are sourced with care, roasted in-house, and the baristas know their craft. The space doubles as a neighborhood gathering point — art on the walls, a backyard for events, and the sense that this place exists for the people who live here, not just the ones passing through.

Insider tip

Try their Haitian coffee when it's available — a direct tribute to the neighborhood. Ask for it as a pour-over.

Joe's Stone Crab

Open since 1913 and still the most essential meal in Miami. The stone crabs arrive cracked, chilled, and served with Joe's legendary mustard sauce that no one has successfully replicated in over a century. The line is absurd and reservations are only for dinner, but that's because everyone in this city knows: this is the real thing.

Ariete

Ariete

Chef Michael Beltran cooks the food of his Cuban-American childhood through a fine-dining lens, and every plate feels like a love letter to the city. The croqueta prep is a masterclass. The oxtail with bone marrow is obscenely good. Coconut Grove needed a restaurant this serious, and Ariete delivered.

The Surf Club Restaurant by Thomas Keller

Thomas Keller took over the dining room of a 1930s members-only beach club in Surfside, and the result is transportive. The room is all terrazzo floors, arched windows, and ocean light. The food is classic American-French — roast chicken, Dover sole, pristine salads — executed with the precision you'd expect from the man behind The French Laundry.

CoffeeCapitol Hill · Seattle, Washington

Espresso Vivace

The Capitol Hill espresso bar that taught Seattle what serious espresso was supposed to taste like. David Schomer opened the original cart in 1988 and the obsessive technique has only sharpened — the in-house roast is balanced and intentional, the latte art was practically invented here, and the staff treats every shot like it matters. Order at the counter and stand to drink. Do not, under any circumstances, ask for a flavored syrup.

CoffeeSoMa · San Francisco, California

Sightglass Coffee

The SoMa flagship is a cathedral of coffee — soaring ceilings, an in-house roaster you can watch turning, and natural light that would make an architect weep. The Affogato Bar upstairs is a quiet revelation. Brothers Jerad and Justin Morrison built this from a garage roastery and you can taste the obsession in every cup. This is third-wave coffee that doesn't need to explain itself.
