If you're heading south toward the Everglades or anywhere near Everglades City, a stop at Robert Is…read moreHere is absolutely non-negotiable. This iconic fruit stand is a true South Florida institution. From the moment you pull in, it feels like stepping into a charming, old-school roadside market bursting with color and character. Crates overflow with vibrant tropical fruits, the air smells sweet and fresh, and the whole place has that nostalgic, family-run charm you just don't find everywhere anymore. The mamey milkshake is my go-to and hands down my favorite. It's unbelievably thick, creamy, and packed with rich tropical flavor. One sip and you'll understand why it's legendary. Beyond the milkshakes, they carry incredible local honey, homemade sauces, unique jams, fresh shallots, beautiful vegetables, and perfectly ripe fruits. The exotic fruit selection alone is worth the trip. you'll discover varieties you didn't even know existed. What makes it even more special is that Robert himself is often there, still working and interacting with customers. It adds such a personal touch. Everyone on staff is genuinely kind, welcoming, and happy to answer questions or offer recommendations. Don't skip the back area, there's a small petting zoo where you can buy feed and interact with the animals, which makes it a fun stop for families and kids. It's more than just a fruit stand . it's an experience. A must-visit South Florida classic.

Robberies Are Here is more like it…read more We stopped at Robert Is Here for what should have been a fun family experience. Instead, we left with a smashed rental car window, 1,500 dollars in stolen valuables, and a ruined vacation. Our car was broken into while parked directly in front of the property -- in plain sight. We weren't even there for 15 minutes. When we asked about security camera footage that might help identify who did this, we were told the cameras don't work. Let that sink in. A high-traffic tourist destination with non-functional security cameras and apparently zero deterrent for criminals who clearly know this area is an easy target. This isn't a random isolated incident -- this is a known problem and the owners have done nothing meaningful to protect their customers. Working cameras, security presence, adequate signage warning visitors of the risk -- none of it. Just a cute fruit stand with a dangerous parking lot and zero accountability. (To be fair, the employees seemed remorseful, and gave us some trash bags and tape to cover the window.) Save yourself. Buy your fruit somewhere else. No smoothie is worth what this visit cost us.

There actually may be hope for SoFlo produce!…read more Ok, some background. On the outside I look like a really normal middle-aged guy, but on the inside I'm a bitchy, old Italian grandmother who wants to run over the Produce Manager at Publix with my cart. I've lost count of how many times I've gone to ANY Publix produce section and offered my soul for just a good head of lettuce. I know, I know, I must be a freak. I just figure that since we live in Tropical Paradise there could be some great vegetables sometimes... This morning my youngest daughter and I visited the Homestead Farmer's Market... Yahtzee! We got there early and although it's a drive, I'll be back regularly. There are tons of options, lots of Mexican specialties you can't find elsewhere (I bought nopales to make salad with later today) and there's competition so the quality matters.

(4.5/5) Kitchen 33…read moreen Homestead (1380 N Krome Ave, Homestead, FL 33030) es de esos lugares que de verdad intentan hacer comida "healthy" sin volverse un sermón ni una ensalada triste. No dicen que todo es súper food mágico, pero se nota el esfuerzo: proteínas a la plancha, mucho vegetal, arroz integral, salsas que no saben a puro aceite. La calidad de la comida yo le doy 4/5 sólido. El bowl de pollo grill con frijoles negros y vegetales rostizados estaba rico y llenador sin dejarte con sueño después. El salmón salió jugoso y las porciones son generosas. No me voló la cabeza para 5 estrellas, pero todo fresco, bien sazonado y definitivamente mejor que el fast-casual promedio. Punto extra por intentar opciones más saludables que siguen sabiendo a comida de verdad. El servicio? Fácil 5/5. Todo el mundo súper amable, rápido y buena onda, de esos que ven que traes niños chiquitos y sin pedirles nada te traen un par de caramelos duros envueltos pa' mis sweet kiddos (jaja sí, la ironía en un lugar "healthy" dando candy, pero los niños felices y es un detalle lindo). Los refill llegaban solos, el manager pasaba saludando mesa por mesa y trataron a mis hijos como reyes. Pequeñas quejas nomás: algunas opciones "healthy" todavía están buscando el punto perfecto de sazón y en noche tranquila la cocina se pone un poquito lenta. Pero con un servicio tan bueno y el ambiente tan acogedor, casi ni se nota. Buenísimo si quieres comer algo que te hace sentir menos culpable sin sufrir. Ya somos clientes fijos. ¡Recomendado 100%!

A police officer was standing just inside the door. They are continuously rearranging aisles in here. It's next to impossible to find a product you just purchased a month ago. Ask for help? Good luck! No one speaks English. I drove about 25 miles from the Keys to pick up an Apple accessory. The in-store price was $30 more than on the app. I could pay the extra $30 and take it with me. Or, I could select "pick up", save $30, and wait 4 HOURS for someone to bring it out to the parking lot. I tried to explain my dilemma to the woman working customer service. She could not understand me because she spoke NO ENGLISH! Frustrating. I forgot to mention literally everything here is locked up. Want to buy deodorant? It's behind locked panels. Want to pick up toothpaste? It's also locked away. Aspirin? Nope. Locked up. For self check out, they now keep you in a line back into the clothing department. As one of 4 working registers becomes available, they lower the "velvet rope" and motion you towards that register, as if it's a privilege to be permitted to complete self check out. I give up attempting to shop at this Walmart. I would rather drive another 5 miles to the one where they don't have everything locked away.

I have to admit, BJ's lured me in with a $15 retention offer. I promise, it will not happen again…read more Before driving the 40 minutes to this store, I "clipped coupons" online and made my shopping list. There were long lines for gas (30¢ a gallon cheaper than Key Largo). Inside the store, I worked down my list. I save $2 off the 24 bottles of Fiji water. Went to find the Cascade. Nope. Only mega giant containers and not the ones pictured with the clipped coupon. Went to find the Quip toothbrushes. Nope. Not at THIS BJ's. The Trident White. Nope. Don't have it. And so on and so on. Out of 22 items I had on my list, they only had the Fiji water and I think that was because they had just brought a palate onto the floor. The lines for gas dissipated, so I got 5 gallons, saving $1.50. Today's shopping trip, I saved $3.50, so not even close to break even on my $15 membership fee.
