Upper Buena Vista isn't just a place; it's an experience. Tucked away in Miami, it's a wonderfully unique, almost magical micro-neighborhood that feels like a hidden village. During my recent visit, I truly enjoyed exploring its winding pathways, discovering the boutique shops, and savoring the culinary delights.
My journey began with a delightful stop at Fincas Coffee. This charming cafe is a true gem. The ambiance is incredibly inviting, with a cozy, rustic feel that makes you want to linger. I opted for a simple coffee, and it was brewed to perfection – rich, aromatic, and exactly what I needed to start my exploration. It's the kind of place where you can relax, read, or simply watch the world go by.
Later, I decided to dine at Turcos Restaurant, and it was a fantastic choice. The moment you step into Turcos, you're transported. The atmosphere is vibrant yet intimate, with a decor that beautifully reflects its Turkish inspiration. The menu offers a tantalizing array of authentic dishes, and everything I tried was bursting with flavor. From the spices to the fresh ingredients, you can tell there's a real passion for Turkish cuisine here. The service was also excellent – attentive and friendly without being intrusive.
What makes Upper Buena Vista so special is its overall vibe. Beyond the specific establishments, it's the carefully curated collection of independent businesses, the towering Banyan trees creating a natural canopy, and the general sense of tranquility that sets it apart. It's a place where you can easily spend an afternoon wandering, shopping for unique finds, and enjoying excellent food and drink. It offers a much-needed escape from the typical Miami hustle, providing a serene and charming environment.
Whether you're looking for a great meal, a perfect coffee, or just a beautiful place to unwind and explore, Upper Buena Vista, with gems like Fincas Coffee and Turcos Restaurant, is an absolute must-visit. It truly is one of Miami's most enchanting spots.
