Cuban Coffee: A Strong and Sweet Start to Your Day

Cuban Coffee: A Strong and Sweet Start to Your Day

Miramar residents know that a good day often starts with a strong cup of coffee, and for many, that means Cuban coffee. This beloved beverage, characterized by its rich, dark roast and sweet espumita (a foamy topping made from the first few drops of espresso and sugar), is a staple across the city.

Local establishments like Cafeteria El Punto on Miramar Parkway and La Carreta Express on University Drive are popular spots where neighbors gather for their daily dose. Patrons can often be seen enjoying a colada, a large serving meant for sharing, or a smaller cafecito, perfect for a quick pick-me-up.

The preparation of Cuban coffee is an art form, with baristas carefully crafting each cup to achieve the perfect balance of strength and sweetness. It's more than just a drink; it's a cultural experience that fosters community and conversation, whether at a bustling counter or a quiet table.

As the city continues to grow, the tradition of Cuban coffee remains a comforting constant, offering a taste of heritage and a familiar ritual for many Miramar families in diverse neighborhoods like Miramar Lakes. It's a simple pleasure that continues to energize and connect the community, one sweet sip at a time.
