When I saw a video of Sky Coffee Buenos Aires on instagram, I knew I had to add it to my Miami itinerary. Ya girl loves a themed coffee shop. And what a cool theme!
First off, there's a charge for parking in the lot that Sky Coffee is in. Be prepared. I forgot how much it is exactly but I think it was around $10, maybe. We ended up parking at the Publix nearby which probably is a risk because it's meant to be just for Publix. Since it was right nearby we just walked over.
Secondly, if you're stopping by on a weekend or during coffee-popular times (aka morning), be prepared to wait in line for 15-20 min. This is not a shop that you'd just go in, get coffee, and be out in 10 minutes. Actually, it's a lot like security at the airport haha.
It was fun to people watch and take videos/photos of the plane from the outside while we waited though. The flight attendants brought out menus for us to browse while we were in line as well.
When you get to the front of the line, they let you onto the plane. I'm pretty sure this was a real plane - it's got everything! You can take pictures inside, sitting in the seats, by the pilots area, etc. You'll also order when you get all the way into the plane. They've also got other concessions, snacks, and pastries available.
We ordered everything to go so after we ordered, we waited outside and had our own little photo shoot outside the plane. They also sell other goods like pilot hats, candles, etc and they've got a plane "waiting area" there too. If you order for dine in, they've got lots of tables and I think even a swing area in the back. It wasn't too long a wait to get our coffees but like I said earlier, it's definitely not "grab and go" speed. Be prepared to wait 5-10 min for your drinks during the busy times.
They have such a huge menu but it's truly a missed opportunity theme-wise that they don't offer coffee flights! I went for their glacier perito moreno (marshmallow latte) and it was perfect. Not too sweet but still had good marshmallow flavor.
Def recommend if you're looking for a fun cafe to check out while in Miami!
