Sunshine Coffee (South Beach)

GOODS & SERVICES • FOUND Shop

Sunshine Coffee, the pop-up known for its Miami Iced drinks, opened its first flagship at the Esmé Hotel on Española Way last month. Beyond a bright, sunshine yellow façade on Washington Avenue, you can spot it half a block away. There’s almost always a line, but it moves. And yes, it’s absolutely worth it.

The shop beams with white marble counters, bright yellow walls, and bold blue accents, plus a mural reminding guests to “See the Good in All Things,” which is easy when you’re sipping a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Miami Iced. Miami Iced coffees are made with locally roasted beans layered in cookie milks and pink cold foams. Matchas are made lighter with strawberries, lemonade, and watermelon.

On the food menu, breakfast classics appear as playful riffs, like brown-butter focaccia cinnamon rolls, and fantastic pancake cake slices. The house-made English muffins might not sound like the most appealing thing on the menu, and yet: blasted through with Sunshine‘s magic (whatever it is), they’re fluffy, perfectly toasted, and typically deployed here as the foundation for the spot’s most addictive offerings, from a breakfast sandwich to a creamy Japanese egg salad and spicy tuna toasts.

It’s all to say that it’s worth thinking of Sunshine like the Miami sunrise: quick, hot, and something you shouldn’t miss if you’re here. –Amber Love Bond
