Miami's beloved Colombian coffee shop specializing in single-origin Latin American coffees prepared with expertise and passion. The café serves traditional Colombian breakfast items alongside the coffee program, making it a morning ritual for Miami's Latin community. The Colombian empanadas and arepas make for an authentic Latin American morning experience.
Pasion del Cielo is Miami's beloved Colombian specialty coffee shop, with locations across the city including Coconut Grove and Coral Gables, and a devoted following among Miami's Latin American community. The name — Passion of the Sky — reflects the founders' philosophy that great coffee should be experienced with the same emotional investment as wine or fine cuisine. The coffee program centers on single-origin Latin American beans sourced from Colombia, Guatemala, and other high-altitude growing regions, prepared by trained baristas using both traditional and modern brewing methods. The house café con leche, made with Colombian espresso and steamed whole milk, is the essential daily order for regulars. The cortadito — a short pour of espresso cut with a small measure of steamed milk — offers a more intense alternative. Beyond coffee, Pasion del Cielo serves a traditional Colombian breakfast menu: crispy empanadas stuffed with meat and potato, arepas con queso griddled to order, and pan de bono, the traditional Colombian cheese bread, fresh from the oven. The bakery cases hold Colombian pastries and almojábanas that make the decision difficult at 8 AM. The atmosphere is warm, social, and unhurried — a neighborhood meeting place rather than a drive-through coffee stop. Multiple Miami locations maintain consistent quality. The Coconut Grove location has outdoor seating popular with morning cyclists and the neighborhood's professional community.
