    Local hidden gem that doesn't get talked about enough! Hidden on the corner of the shopping plaza on the northwest side of Pines blvd and 184th Ave, lies a coffee shop that's full of character. What you seen from the outside does not match the experience when inside. With cozy and rustic decor, this spot gets packed and that's always a good sign. Service is quick and simple and everyone's friendly. It's a local favorite. They offer an amazing variety of fresh brewed coffee delights. Not a coffee person like me, they also have fresh squeezed juices and power and energy or healthy juice blends. Pastries galore and you will have a hard time picking a choosing with sweet and savory choices. Hot breakfast items made fresh from omelettes to avocado toasts. Great for whatever breakfast mood you may be in! Enjoying Roasting Buddies is a wonderful way to start your morning.

    Roasting Brothers absolutely crushed it. The staff were so friendly it felt like they slipped kindness into the coffee beans. The food came out fast enough to make me wonder if they had a mind reader in the kitchen. The coffee was smooth and perfectly balanced with not a hint of bitterness just pure happiness in a cup. The pastries were amazing and the empanadas disappeared so fast we could not even get a picture. That alone says it all. The place has an easygoing vibe with great energy and everything looked and tasted top tier. If you love good coffee, flaky pastries, and the kind of service that makes your morning better, Roasting Brothers is the place. Ten out of ten would come back in a heartbeat.

    I have been coming here ever since I tasted the beef empanada. I hate when you get a meat pastry and its either its super oily,no meat filling inside or the pastry tastes horrible. This is not the case here I will vouch for all the empanadas here. They are the absolute best they are filled with meat and the crust on the pastry is not to flaky it is just right. All the meats are seasoned well. This place is for coffee,sweet treats and some breakfast food and these wonderful empanadas. I have not gotten to the other things they offer as I am in love with the empanadas. I also has a freshly squeezed orange juice which was good too.The service is good not too bad. The ambiance of the establishment is quaint has sitting areas and some small sitting areas to sit and eat not great for a big party. All and all I can only speak on their empanadas which are delicious. Let me know how everything else is cause I have no clue.

    Needed my morning coffee and traveled far into western Pines to find Roasting Buddies that had many good Yelp reviews. Upon entry, loved the tantalizing fresh coffee bean scent. DECOR: Industrial theme - Brown cement flooring with a red brick and wood panel wall backdrop. Red and chrome commericalized coffee bean roasting machine. PARKING: Due to an LA Fitness and dry cleaners next door, close parking is very limited with customers parking on the curb. STAFF: Friendly and quick service. DRINK: Espresso TASTE: Good with strong caffeine jolt. PRICE: $3.00 COFFEE/PASTRIES: Yes SEATING: Inside & outside KIOSK ORDERING: Yes Well managed casual cafe with strong tasty coffee.

    Didn't have food but it looks great! The croissants are not enormous like in other places, and seem very tasty. I had an iced latte hazelnut and really enjoyed it. The team is energetic, motivated to work, with excellent approach to help the customer. The music was also great and aligned with the chill atmosphere. Highly approved if you are in that area

    I came here after a very nerve-wracking medical appointment & was so glad that I stopped in. I ordered their Green Wrap which contains fresh spinach, scrambled eggs, mozzarella cheese in a whole wheat style wrap. It was very tasty & filling. I had to take 1/2 home. I also ordered their americano coffee & it was smooth, rich & delicious. To go I ordered 4 empanadas - the vacio (think ropa vieja) was well seasoned. The four cheese was absolutely amazing! The caprese had diced tomatoes which I welcomed vs the sliced ones I sometimes find. But the reason these were one of the best I've had is their dough! Oh my gosh - even re-heated it was buttery, flaky & not thick & chewy like some of these Argentinian empanadas can be. This is seriously a local HOT SPOT! I cannot wait to come back & get more of those tasty empanaditas!

    Found this little gem right next to my Drs. and decided to try it, and I'm glad I did !!! Super cute and cozy. The lady who took my order helped me choose what to get. I ordered a four cheese empanada, avocado toast ( with the works) I believe it was the BLT.... it had tomatoes, bacon, eggs ( i asked for egg whites) and ricotta cheese. It was big and delish !! As far as coffee goes I am not a fan, I first ordered a cold brew vanilla and coconut and was not happy with the taste, I asked for something else and they changed it right away for a iced vanilla coffee with 2% , again not a fan of the taste. Must be the coffee... although the coffee was not a favorite, I will be coming back to try their other dishes.

    I really enjoyed the set up of this coffee spot! Gives a coworking space vibe and an area that appears to invite people to hang out together. The coffee was quite enjoyable and I usually like my coffee sweeter and this time tried it would any sweetener and enjoyed it just as much!

    Great coffee shop and cafe. Last I had been here was during peak hours on a weekend, returned during the week and it was a zen place with music and a couple people working on laptops. Got a latte with a pump of white chocolate which was delicious. Then a veggie filled omelette. My husband really enjoyed his burrata caprese. Then we split and destroyed the bread pudding, which was mouthwatering. Very friendly service, and they didn't mind our mini doodle coming in with us. Will def keep people bringing back here!

    Empanadas!!!
    Jacquie N.

    Great vibe, delicious empanadas, excellent juices, fresh pressed, comfortable private seating, awesome spot to get some coffee/ juice and get some work done. Intriguing menu of Argentinian plates. Definitely will come back to sit and explore the menu. Today, was 3 empanadas and a detox juice. Perfect breakfast for being on the go.

    Went looking for a cute shop to finish the work day out of and this was great. They have free wifi, and different places you can sit and work. I recommend if you are doing to do calls or meetings to not go here because the music can get a bit loud. Overall it was a nice place looked family owned. I was excited to see they had choripán on the menu. The staff was so nice as well. I will definitely come back. At around 4pm or so it started to get a bit busy but not where you couldn't concentrate.

    Ice matcha was good. The original avocado toast was a 1/10 -- soggy bread, bland, and the avocado wasn't fresh.

    Ice Matcha was good overall. However, the Original Avocado Toast gets a 1/10. The avocado wasn't great, the toast was very soggy, and there was no flavor at all. Definitely not the best avocado toast I've had.

    Great atmosphere and coffee. Great find, I will definitely be back. The empanadas are delicious, service fast and courteous

    Hey, is there any outlets u can use at the tables?

    Hi! Yes, some tables have outlets you can use!

    How well do they enforce COVID-19 rules (mask mandates, social distancing, etc)?

    Face masks are required but it's kind of a small place so it's not really possible to social distance unless you sit outside.

    Did you shut down? I went on Saturday during the day and the doors were locked.

    Hi, due to the current situation, we are opening from 9:00 to 1:00 every day, and only to-go orders. Stay safe!

    Is there oat milk available?

    Yes there is! Check out their Instagram @RoastingBuddies, you can see all their new products when they come in.

    Is this a good place to study?

    We do offer fast speed free WiFi for our customers, so it is great to study. There is also plenty of room to pick a table with an outlet to charge your electronics. Our… Read more

    Before I ever tasted a single bean, the name stopped me cold. Calusa. A roaster bearing the name of…read morean Indigenous people -- the Calusa, the ancient shell-mound builders, the unconquered lords of South Florida's mangroves and waterways. People who never surrendered. People whose bones are folded into this very soil. As someone who walks through this world carrying Taíno blood and the memory of peoples whose names colonizers tried to erase, that word hit different. It wasn't a gimmick. It wasn't a logo. It was a declaration -- that this land has a story older than any espresso machine, and somebody here understood that. That understanding alone earned my curiosity and my respect before I'd even stepped through the door. "The name carried the weight of a people who never bent. That's the kind of legacy worth building a roastery around." Then I learned the story behind the man behind the roaster -- and it only deepened my respect. Luis Arteaga came home from serving in the United States Marine Corps and did what so many veterans do: he looked for work. No fanfare. No red carpet. Just a man with discipline in his bones and calluses on his hands, trying to find his next mission in a civilian world that doesn't always know what to do with people like that. He found his way to the original owners of Calusa Coffee Roasters. They saw in him what the Corps had always seen -- dependability, grit, and a willingness to learn. They gave him a job. A floor to stand on. And Luis did what Marines do -- he didn't just fill a position, he grew into something greater. Over time, through sweat and dedication and an unmistakable passion for the craft, he rose to become the owner of the very roastery that once took a chance on him. That's not a business story. That's an American story. A veteran's story. And it's exactly the kind of origin that makes a cup of coffee taste like something more than coffee. CALUSA COFFEE ROASTERS IS A SOUTH FLORIDA INSTITUTION Fast forward to today, and Calusa Coffee Roasters isn't just surviving -- it is a staple. Walk into the right cigar bar on a Friday evening and someone at the table will mention the name. Sit down at the right diner counter on a Tuesday morning and a regular will nod toward that familiar bag. In South Florida's rich, layered, cafecito-and-culture coffee landscape, that kind of word-of-mouth is earned over years of consistency, of showing up, of never letting the cup get small. Luis continues to build something that belongs to this community -- rooted in the terroir of a region as complex and layered as its people. The coffee is exceptional. Bold where it should be bold, nuanced where it earns it. The kind of roast that makes you sit down instead of rushing out. That's no accident. That's someone who respects the craft because he was forged in institutions that demand nothing less than your best. "When a Marine finds his mission in a roastery, every bag he puts his name on carries the same standard -- do it right or don't do it at all." Meeting Luis was one of those moments I didn't expect to move me the way it did. We are both moving through the coffee world trying to build something that means something -- something rooted in identity, in service, in the belief that what's in the cup should tell a story worth hearing. And here was a fellow Marine who had walked a road I recognize: uncertain ground, earned footing, and a refusal to quit. And finally, if you are in South Florida and you have not made the pilgrimage to Calusa Coffee Roasters on Commercial Blvd, you are overdue. Go for the coffee -- stay for the story. And if you're lucky enough to meet the man himself, shake his hand. He earned it in more ways than one. To Luis Arteaga and everyone at Calusa: thank you for carrying a name that honors this land. Thank you for honoring the service that shaped you. And thank you for a cup of coffee that carries the weight of all of it without spilling a drop. Semper Fi, brother. Keep roasting.

My fiancee seemed content with their flavors and she didn't yell at me. So based on this, I would assume Calusa Coffee has some decent coffees. Please try this place and see if you enjoyed it as much as my fiancee. The location is a bit weird to enter and exit so be careful driving in and out. They offer limited parking so bring plenty of patience with you when visiting!

    I was introduced to Per'La when I happened upon the Instagram Live that co-founders Chris and Paul…read moredid with Yelp Miami recently... They were so approachable, knowledgeable, and fun, that I wanted to support them, so I purchased some coffee. This was on a Thursday morning. The coffee was delivered across the country to my doorstep in Arizona on Saturday - I was super impressed! We made a pot of the Miami Restaurant Employee Relief Fund Blend this morning and it was fabulous. I typically put some steamed almond milk into my coffee but I drank it black (and several cups). It wasn't just me who enjoyed it either. It also passed the test of my judgemental, 43 year old Jewish husband's palate. He always takes his coffee black and this was no exception. I will definitely visit the Per'La coffee shop whenever I make my way back to Miami, but in the meantime, I'm sending love from Phoenix during these crazy times. I know where to look if I ever have questions related to coffee as well! Thanks Team Per'La!

Two cups in the morning, and I was still watching episodes of The Office until 4am... so you know the stuff is good, and probably the most productive I've been in a long time. Since I don't live in Miami, I ordered some of their beans and had them shipped. I got the Lucha Blend in whole bean form and some of the Cold Brew Blend ground up for my summer enjoyment during the heatwaves. I liked them both for different reasons, but the the Lucha Blend was my favorite. It was a dark roast but didn't punch you in the face. It was super smooth and you could get the smoky notes of chocolate with every sip. Don't get me wrong, the cold brew stuff was good too, and again, a small glass will keep you buzzing for hours. I've heard so many great things about Per'La from friends, so I was super happy I was able to support this coffee shop from across the country during COVID-19. Not only was the ordering process super easy via their website, they offer free shipping, and even included a super cute hand-written note showing appreciation too. Huge plus. I ordered on a Thursday and I was drinking their delicious blends by the start of the work-week. I don't know if they're always this fast, but... it was fast. Until I can come in and support them in-person during a future trip to Miami, I know I'll be ordering more of their beans to hold me over until that happens!
