"House of Per’La opened in October of 2018 in the former Cafe Curuba space just a few blocks south of Miracle Mile in Coral Gables. A partnership between Per’La Specialty Roasters’ owners Paul Massard and Chris Nolte and Eating House owner and chef Giorgio Rapicavoli, it’s just about as local as it can get. With a variety of different types of roasts, House of Per’La likes to think of themselves as a coffee shop that’s helping coffee drinkers find the exact cup of joe they are looking for — offering an easy way to help bridge the gap and find a roast fit for every palette. The coffee menu at House of Per’La features eight different roasts of coffee consisting of two types of espresso, three types of rotating brewed coffee, a house brew drip coffee, and the popular cold brew. As far as the food is concerned, the cafe features a mix of soup and salads, sandwiches, and bakery items — with a few nods in memory of Cafe Curuba like the guava pan de bono. It’s bigger than the average coffee shop, but not quite a full cafe menu." - Amber Love Bond
