Ventanitas: A Window into Miami’s Coffee Culture

A Window into Miami’s Coffee Culture. In Miami, coffee isn’t just a drink—it’s a way of life!

From the early morning bustle to the afternoon conversations, this book brings you into the lives of the people who run these tiny, yet mighty, coffee windows, and the regulars who gather there for more than just a cup of coffee. It’s about connection, community, and the everyday magic that happens over a steaming cup. Coffee doesn’t come with a side of silence—it comes with sunshine, conversation, and community.

Through a little window called a ventanita, life is served hot, strong, and full of flavor. Whether you’re sipping your café con leche from a bustling corner or chatting with friends at your local ventanita, Miami’s coffee culture is as vibrant and unique as the city itself.

Through beautiful poetry, vibrant photography by Gesi Schilling, and heartfelt interviews with the people behind the counter and those gathered in front of it, this book takes you deep into the soul of Miami’s most beloved ritual.

Written by Daniela Perez Miron, with a foreword by Chef Michelle Bernstein and stunning design by Topos Graphics and Miron herself, this book is a warm invitation to slow down, grab a colada, and connect—with your neighbors, your city, and your roots. Flip through the pages and feel the rhythm of the city—the clink of espresso cups, the laughter of old friends, the stories shared between sips. Whether you’re a Miami native, a coffee enthusiast, or someone who just loves discovering local culture, Ventanitas brings the heart of the city straight to your hands. Through the eyes of those who live and breathe Miami’s coffee culture, Ventanitas captures the soul of a city—its rhythms, its warmth, and its heart. Whether you're a Miami local, a coffee lover, or simply curious about the world’s most flavorful connections, this book is a must-have for your collection.

Pick up your copy and step into the magic of Miami’s ventanitas—you’ll never look at a coffee break the same way again.
