Aguacate Sanctuary of Love

"This Tamiami vegan spot is an animal sanctuary that makes an excellent breakfast burrito, french toast, veggie burger, and great smoothies. Everything is 100% vegan and they serve breakfast all day, so it’s a great brunch option on weekdays or weekends. After eating, check out the cows, fluffy silkie chickens, bunnies, pigs, and giggly turkeys. It’s all outdoors, but the chickens keep the bugs away, and they have plenty of fans and parking. Multiple yoga classes are offered daily, and it’s very family-friendly. Just keep your eyes on Frank The Rooster. He loves plantain chips." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo

"Aguacate is an animal sanctuary with excellent vegan food and a juice bar. The only chicken here is staring you right in the face and begging for mariquitas while you stuff your mouth with a mushroom burger (her name is Lucy, by the way—the chicken). Plus, they’ve got bowls—acai, a Cuban bowl with vegan picadillo, and animal feed bowls (those are for the goats). Ever been to a Pura Vida with a petting zoo? Didn’t think so. Aguacate also hosts morning and night yoga classes every day. This outdoor spot in Tamiami is pure life and filled with characters we actually enjoy hanging out with, like Lilly (the pig) and Bertha (a cow)." - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
