    Java the Cup just opened in Wingate, and it is a breath of fresh air. I have been a student at Wingate for over two years now and this is a very welcome addition. They are serving up crepes, waffles, coffee, espresso drinks, and an assortment of smoothies and sodas to drink. They even have sandwiches, wraps, and salads too. The service is good and atmosphere is great. While the crepes and espresso still need to be improved, the waffles and house coffee, "java," are awesome! I have been in to the shop 3 times now and haven't had a negative experience. So far I have had the following: *Banana and Nutella crepe, which was good but the crepe was overcooked. 7/10 *Waffles, both with banana, strawberries, Nutella, and whipped cream: 10/10!! *mocha latte: pretty weak on both espresso and mocha flavor compared to many other places I've been. Came back recently with my friend and she got the mocha, and it was a similar experience. 5/10 "Java": strong, even-bodied coffee with good flavor. One time near closing they made a fresh pot for me because the one they had was there for a while, excellent service! 9.5/10! Definitely will continue coming here, I just hope they can maybe make the espresso stronger in their lattes! So far the fresh coffee, customer service, and atmosphere are what makes this place great

    Java the Cup opened recently in Wingate, right down the road from a Starbucks. I've been very excited to have a local coffee shop that isn't a chain to support. Well it has been a let-down to say the least. Their technique for espresso is bizarre. I am not sure that anyone employed has ever made espresso before. My normal order is a double cappuccino -- two shots of espresso topped by frothed milk. Easy, right? Most recently, the barista steamed my milk, poured it into the cup, and then pulled two shots and poured it on top of the milk! I've never been so confused by coffee. Their grind settings and tamp skills also need tuning. No one has tamped the espresso enough, resulting in watery, crema-less, bad extractions. Lastly, the milk technique I've seen here is "stick the wand in the milk and just wait until it's hot". No texturing, and everyone I've seen just kind of rocks the cup up and down while steaming. It makes a pretty bad cup of milk. All of this together makes coffee drinks that are just not good, unfortunately. Their brewed coffee is pretty good, the roasts have been quite well-balanced and fresh. I'd recommend this place for a quick brewed coffee or pre-packaged snack, but avoid the espresso.

    Loved the atmosphere and the crape I ordered! Staff was friendly and cleared my plate when I was done. Perfect little local coffee shop.

    Just visited The Union Exchange and what a great little spot. We came on a Sunday around noon and…read moreit was pretty quiet, probably because of the time of day. I heard later in the afternoon they have live music and a lot more of a vibe, but honestly it was perfect for my friends and me. They have fishing, a park for kids, games, animals, food, picnic tables, and lots of open space to run around. Very family-oriented and such a nice outdoor experience. We really don't have many places like this in Miami, so I genuinely enjoyed myself. I didn't try the lemonade this time, but I did get an iced coffee and it was delicious. Next time I'm trying the lemonade, it comes in these mini buckets and looked super refreshing with a bunch of flavor options. If I'm not mistaken, parking was free (maybe because it was Sunday), and if you plan to fish, you do need to get a wristband and pay. Don't try to sneak around it because they will come find you pay your dues ;)

    So this place has plenty of parking. I feel like you will never not find a spot. It was easy to…read morefind. They offer kids activity like the farm animals, hayride and the playground. Their shop I feel like is a little small so when it's busy, can be hard and crowded inside. I do like that they offer different things like bakery items, coffee, ice cream and wine. It was a cute neat spot to go to to hang out with friends and family. Do like that they have real bathroom versus some other places have porter potty.
