Alto Tostado - Review - Coral Gables - Miami - The Infatuation

"Drinking coffee at Alto Tostado is very personalized. The only choice you don’t have at this Coral Gables coffee shop is where those beans are coming from: Bolivia. Everything else is up to you. Espresso, drip, cold brew, and pour-overs are all options. If you go the pour-over route, you can pick which single-origin beans you prefer (we like the Geisha beans) and then choose from hand-pours, automated pours, or Chemex. These brews take time, so it’s not a fast-paced spot. Luckily, that gives you plenty of time to have a salteña. Think of these as Bolivia’s version of an empanada—except it’s a little sweeter and filled with a hearty beef or chicken soup that you sip from one end. The salteñas alone are worth a visit." - Virginia Otazo
