Exotic fruits, milkshakes, and a petting zoo make this a must-stop.
"This Homestead classic is part petting zoo, part farmers market, and part milkshake stand. It’s the kind of overstimulating outing that’ll guarantee a long nap in the near future. Robert Is Here stays open year-round, so it’s a perfect summer break day trip. Let the kids pick out fruits they won’t find at Publix and maybe get them to venture beyond grapes. Sometimes, they'll have the barrel train running for kids to take a joyride in the corn fields. But the biggest draw is the milkshakes and smoothies. Be prepared for your kid to beg for one when they see everyone else clutching their own. Also, don’t let them near the emu. He’s mean." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer

"Those headed to the Everglades or the Florida Keys know to make a pitstop at this family-owned tropical fruit stand featuring local produce, addictive fruit shakes, and an array of honey and baked goods." - Alona Martinez
"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
