Strawberry key lime milkshake
Kelly S.

This stop outside Homestead, FL is not too far from Everglades National Park. This is actually the second time we have been here, with the first time in 2014. The milkshakes were so memorable that we had to stop again! I loved my strawberry key lime flavor. It's made with fresh fruit and you are allowed up to three different fruits. After that, there will be additional fees. They have lots to choose from and the portion sizes are pretty large. There is also a market, where you can find lots of produce, souvenirs and gifts. A petting zoo is out back with birds, emus, turtles, goats, etc. The animals look a little dirty. I know they are outside but I kind of wonder about their care. Hopefully they are taken care of ok. Most looked healthy.

Robert and his story is one of service, family, and love of South Florida. There is no better reflection of this community than Robert is Here. It is truly a gem and I would not have enough words to express how much I love this place. I highly recommend you take family and friends here and explore the history of this place. The staff is very friendly and the care they take to serve is unmatched. Keep up the good work.

We made a stop here for lunch after visiting the Everglades. I got the taco combo from the taco truck there and it was delicious. Plus they had another truck there that serve coffee and juices. I got the pineapple juice and it was very refreshing. There's also a variety such as a zoo, fruit stands, and other various food joints on site. They have a lot of parking in their parking lot. Otherwise I recommend coming by if you're in an area.

I dont know what to say besides this is an institution and a blessing to south florida. We just wanted juice and I got the biggest mango (that they cut for me) and a visit to their rescue animal area in the back. They have emus and cows and goats. It's so fun to observe the animals. The fruit is amazing, I with I lived there and could stock up. The fact they cut the mango for guests is so convenient while on vacation. The juice is so fresh! I had passionfruit and they suggested to add sugar to cut the sourness, glad I did. Not on the cheaper side but it's a whole compound and a must do when you're in the area.

We can't go to Homestead & the Everglades without visiting Robert Is Here! Robert was a little boy who opened a fruit stand in 1959 at age 6 to help his father sell produce from the family farm. To get the attention of folks passing by, Robert's dad scrawled the words "Robert Is Here" on signs placed on each side of the table. That day, Robert sold out all his produce by noon and a budding farmer & entrepreneur was born. The farm stand not only gained a name that day, but has gained a loyal following ever since. And that little boy? Robert himself still works the stand today. Robert's is more than just a fruit stand, Robert is a true Miami treasure! Throughout the year, there's live music every weekend. This enormous fruit stand is stocked with exotic fresh local fruits: 1. As the largest tropical fruit that grows on trees, a single Jackfruit can weigh up to 80 lbs. The skin resembles a green sea urchin, and inside is a soft orange fruit featuring a pineapple-vanilla flavor. 2. Guanabana has a similar green prickly skin as the jackfruit. When the fruit is ripe, the skin is extremely soft and can be opened with your hands. Robert says the pockets of fruit you'll find inside taste like "pineapple cotton candy." 3. Dragon fruit has a bright pink skin protecting white fruit inside, which has small black seeds. It tastes like a blend of raspberry, strawberry & kiwi. We waited on a long long line for fresh fruit, milkshakes and smoothies. We bought all kinds of fruit, vegetables and exotic fruits to try. I was disappointed they used to have samples so we could have a little taste of exotic fruits before we purchase them. The fruits and fruit drinks have become significantly more expensive than they were the last time we were here. There are about 30 different varieties of honey and we can't sample those either. I couldn't resist buying some homemade jams from passionfruit and Guanabanas. If I could taste some of the fruit, I would be more eager to purchase. In the back, our plants for sale, wood, carvings, a barbecue a Mexican food truck .. there are lots of old farm machines to climb on and play with an animals to pet and feed. We found a shady picnic table to sit and enjoy our fruit drinks.

Another great stop. Enjoyed the smoothie and the bananas lasted long and tasted way better than in a grocery store!

This place has amazing smoothies, live music often, and great vendors behind the establishment. We came after a crazy day in the everglades and spent $9 for 3 tacos which was a deal you don't get many places. Local honey, jams and huge fruits all around. Animals are cute too. Recommend always

Such a fun place for fresh fruits and fun! Went here in the winter and enjoyed spending time with the birds, animals, and enjoying fresh smoothies. In the summer they have SO much variety of Miami mangoes and other seasonal fruits. If you don't have a local connection, this is definitely a great place to get sweet mangos. We even got to meet Robert! Nice fun fruit market. There's plenty of parking outside the shop.

Smashed and rotted dragon fruit
Alicia D.

Visited here while in town. Fun to try lots of new fruits I've never had before. The petting zoo area is fun. Everything is very pricey though. I decided to order online when I got home so my family could try some things. A month and half later, after many calls back and forth, I was told the mangoes I had ordered were no longer in season. That's fine, they offered some other mangoes. They told me the Mamey I wanted would still arrive along with the mystery fruit box. A few days later, I finally had my box. The fruit was rotted, smashed, moldy and they didn't have the Mamey (they did refund this before the box sent) I basically paid $170 for some mangoes because the rest was inedible and had to be tossed. Reached out and haven't heard anything back. Not impressed with the customer service, or lack there of.

Jackfruit smoothie, awful taste and look
Joyce T.

It's a tourist trap, expensive fruits and juices. There were long line for the smoothie and milkshake, $10 each, it's pricey and the quality was not consistent, I had the seasonal jackfruit smoothie, it was awful, I throw it away after 1-2 sips. Waste of money and time, there's a 30 minutes wait for the drink after ordering. My intention to visit was to get some tropical fruit and I was shocked to see the price of the fruit. My advice to all - good to drop by for a rest then move on to other places fo better juices and fruits shopping, there's Publix grocery store with better fruits and decent prices.

More fruits

Pro: tons of variety and cool open market feel Con: everything seemed pretty expensive and smoothies were not impressive I liked the idea...I love the background story. The place was loaded with fresh fruit (and unique varietals) as well as tons of honey, sauces, dried fruits and nuts, cheeses, skin products...a lot. Market on side sold smoothies and shakes. They were expensive and nothing special...and the staff making them could be seen in back chatting away while people waited 5 + minutes to get their order. Out back was a plethora of animals. They seemed well cared for and the kids there seemed to enjoy them. An interesting stop but likely wouldn't go out of my way to return.

Outside
Lisa O.

This is always a fun stop while in the area. The milkshakes are top notch. Although $10, it's well worth it for the fresh fruit shakes and slushes. The passion fruit is really great The store itself is so cool with fruits and veggies of all kinds. So much to see here and goodies to buy. Outside you will find a farmyard area. Lots to see here. There's also lots of seating for two food trucks out there. Plenty of parking. Fun to see the purple martins in the summer in their houses by the parking lot.

Huma H.

This is a very cool (and touristy) stop on the way to the Everglades, and it caught our eye because of its claim for delicious juices and great fruit. It's got a cool little animal petting area in the back and areas to sit with some food trucks as well. However, for the price you pay, you're completely ripped off based on the quality of the products. The smoothies we got were of questionable quality - not very flavorful. The passion fruit and orange one was the best of the two, the guanabana one was a little weird. The sugar cane juice fell flat too. The biggest let down was the fruit we bought. The papaya and chickoo we bought was absolutely tasteless, we had to throw it out because they tasted like crap. For how much we paid for it, and for the fact that we bought it from a farm stand, it felt very disappointing. The tangerines were decent though. The stand should stick to things that are good.

Is this place pet friendly?

Yes!

Do they have non-dairy ice cream?

Yes, my son is lactose intolerant and they have a non dairy option.

Is the splash pad for children open?

Last time we were there was New Year's Day 2021 and the splash pad was not on.

With Covid and social distancing in effect, is it still possible to sample honey? Looking to pick up a new flavor soon.

I didn't see any samples out, but would not be surprised if Robert would help you out.

Does this business have a UPick orange grove?

I didn't see one last week. I also believe I saw a sign near the citrus indicating they were from Indian River.

Any ideas where I can purchase a strawberry guava tree?

Try Pine Island Nursery Inc.

This Walmart is not as bad has people think. For being such a large Walmart they are pretty fast…read morein service. They always have a lot of registers open and the wait is never too long like some Walmarts. The restrooms are always clean and the food shelves are always well stocked. Parking lot is well maintained, but could use more surveillance when it comes stray homeless people walking around vehicles. Overall nice work, could use improvement.

Still an awful place. Starting with the dirty parking lot, there is a lot of trash and abandoned…read morecarts. Actual police cars stil near the entrances. 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.
