I almost gave up hope on finding a decent cup of coffee, so much so that last week I decided to go out for sushi at Shibui which I might add was fantastic. I ordered the Sashimi dinner, which was perfect, by far the best Sashimi I’ve had since Japan. They also had Uni sushi, which I haven’t even seen in Minnesota, which was a nice surprise.

After some searching, I discovered Brew which was located in Ft. Lauderdale, had some excellent reviews (aside from the one which said it resembled "set of Friends, hanging with Phoebe and Joey," that nearly made me throw up) especially regarding their coffee. Brew has two locations relatively close to each other, which was good since the original Brew was extremely busy with no parking in sight. Thankfully, the second location was nearby. The cappuccino I ordered was good, not excellent, but the best cup of coffee I’ve had in Miami thus far. The foam was actually well developed, however I was hoping for a ceramic cup instead of the paper to-go cup I received. As such, it was marginally better then Starbucks, but to be honest I could have produced a better cup at home. I later came back to Ft. Lauderdale to try Undergrounds Coffehaus, this was a massive disappointment as far as their coffee was concerned. The cafe has a lot of character, however the coffee was abysmal. The "barista" took the shot way to fast, didn’t even bother to tamp the shot properly, and could not froth milk whatsoever. The end product was lukewarm coffee flavored milk; in my opinion it was barley drinkable.

Perhaps my standards are too high, however Miami hasn’t impressed me at all with their coffee selection. I’ll stop by Segafredo before I leave just out of curiously, but I’m not holding my breath. Perhaps I’ll enjoy some more first class sushi instead with the time I have left.

P.S. Sorry about the complete lack of pictures. I left my camera at home, so sadly there will be no Miami pictures this time around.
