5 Miami coffee stops to check out during NAMA’s Coffee, Tea & Water
As NAMA’s Coffee, Tea & Water 2025 event kicks off this week at the Hyatt Regency Miami, attendees will be surrounded by world-class brews inside the show floor. When the mood for coffee strikes outside the show hours, downtown Miami has plenty of options within walking distance.
Here are five coffee experiences for CTW attendees looking to recharge, refuel or network over a cup.
- Vanilla Café (117 SE 2nd Ave.) is located two blocks from the Hyatt Regency. The baristas promise to serve well-balanced espressos and creamy cappuccinos alongside fresh croissants and tartlets.
- Café Bastille Downtown (248 SE 1st St.) offers a French touch to Miami’s financial district. Expect strong espresso, pressed juices and house-made pastries.
- True Baristas Coffee (1395 Brickell Ave.), a 10-minute walk from the Hyatt Regency, is an independent shop tucked inside the Brickell Arch. The café sources single-origin beans and offers everything from pour-overs to cold brews.
- Naughty Coffee (101 NE 2nd Ave.) is a micro-roaster with specialty credentials and is known for its latte art and experimental blends.
- A short drive or ride-share north from the Hyatt, Miam Café (1040 Biscayne Blvd.) offers crafted cappuccinos, flat whites and avocado toast. It’s a relaxed, stylish venue for connecting with peers before afternoon sessions.
If you’re looking to sample Miami’s local flavor, these five cafés offer a caffeine boost worthy of CTW’s theme: elevating every cup.
