"It is hard to imagine Homestead without Robert Is Here. Most Miamians can't drive to The Keys or even cross into the official boundary of Homestead without making a mandatory milkshake stop at this classic spot that’s been around for over 60 years. The market sells fresh local produce, homemade hot sauces and jams, and also makes some of the best milkshakes in the universe. There’s also a makeshift zoo behind the store, where you can watch tortoises and goats hang out while you inhale your milkshake a little too fast. " - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"With all due respect to Kelis, there is no milkshake that brings us to the yard quicker than the ones at Robert Is Here. This Homestead spot is a famous and essential stop on any drive to The Keys. It’s equal parts market, tiny zoo, and milkshake stand with a ton of very cool homemade sauces, jellies, and honey available as well. But you’ve also got to get a milkshake. Those are the rules." - Ryan Pfeffer, Virginia Otazo
