JUAN CAFE – Mexican
A small Colombian coffee bar on Aragon Avenue in Coral Gables, open early on weekdays and geared to people who take their coffee seriously — including table-side brewing if you want to watch it happen. The food is Colombian breakfast and snack fare done properly: arepas, arepa de huevo, empanadas filled with beef or chicken, papa rellena, chorizo with a crisp arepa alongside. Walls of signatures, a handful of tables, live music some weekends. Regulars talk about how homemade it tastes. Closes mid-afternoon, so plan around it.
