Vice City Bean Brickell

This location is inside an office building. The building had some type of event going on, so there were many young professionals running around mingling. Espresso is a specialty brew from Vice City. Creamy. A little bitterness and citrus hit your tongue right away. Great cup of espresso. They make their own pastries, so I ordered a carrot cake. It was just right for a morning cake. Not over the top indulgent as it should be for after dinner. Rather, pleasant, mild, sweet just enough with walnuts and shaved carrots inside. Although it was busy, the barista was very pleasant and answered my questions promptly.

Great spot. Trendy location tucked inside the office building on the side entrance. Great coffee and prompt friendly service. I’ll come back again!

Visited VCB yesterday and tried the cappuccino, espresso, and pour-over—each one absolutely delicious and spectacular! Perfectly paired with top-notch customer service. Huge thanks to Charlin!

A hidden gem in Brickell. I’ve tried most of the coffee shops and this is one of the better quality preparations I’ve had! Not the friendliest service though but for good coffee it’s a trade off I’m willing to make. They have a few delicious looking pastries available for purchase. The lobby area it was in was so peaceful on a Saturday morning. Seems like a nice quiet spot to post up on the weekends. I will definitely be back. Vanilla Latte with skim was close to $8.

Exceptional coffee and a nice big communal table to sit at. It’s in the reception area of an office block, so a bit weird

Great oat milk latte. One of the best in the city for sure. Inside an office building on the first floor, but the seating space is really comfortable and inviting.

The slowest coffee shop I’ve ever been to. People in a coffee shop tend to have things to do. Why you have one person doing the job of 3 people at 4 dollars for an espresso can only be answered by the singular phrase greed.

I give it four stars for the quality of the coffee, but really three stars for the environment. You are basically in the lobby of a financial building and a lot of the purchasers are people working in the building. There is a small selection of pastries (cookies, loafs, and croissants). There are three tables where you can plug in your laptop and work which a lot of people seem to do.

This time in Miami I am staying in the downtown museum district and two days ago visited a Vice City Bean near my hotel and had a truly unique and delicious nitro. Today I happen to be in Brickell and thought I would find the Vice City Bean Brickell and try that nitro again. Brickell is super walkable and I wandered over there- purposely going off the path to see the sights. By the time I got to this coffee shop I was perhaps a bit past time I should have had my morning coffee (it was nearly 11 AM). First difference- unlike the other coffee shop (a cool city vibe shop with beautiful art on the walls) this one is in the lobby of a large financial building. It actually does have lovely are on the wall and the floors are blue/gray mosaic pattern. It's fine- just a totally different vibe. I guess Brickell is essentially Miami's financial district so it makes some style sense for the brand. Second difference- no nitro at this location. I was told it was because it wasn't selling (these financial people don't know what is good). That was a big bummer. I had come all this way and wanted something special so I got the $10 pour over: Maritza Dota from Ecuador. It was super yummy and hit the spot!

Some of the best quality beans in Brickell, and you can taste it. Their lattes are my favorite in the neighborhood, with the espresso sporting a delicious flavor. It's a small counter with a few tables hidden downstairs in an office building, so I take my coffee to go. (They also have a little passive aggressive sign telling you not to linger, which I find a little off-putting when I'm buying a $6-7 latte). I don't mind a walk by the bay with a delicious little drink though.

Small coffee shop located in the lobby of a building with limited seating. My husband liked their iced latte but didn't like my cortado. I thought both were just okay - the iced latte tasted a little grainy and the cortado was a little sour so I had to add a little sweetener, which I usually don't do.

I came in on a weekday morning, and was able to order immediately. They were out of chai concentrate, which given the size of the menu wasn't ideal. The latte I ordered was prepared quickly, but it was almost $8 and they didn't have napkins to wipe the cup when I accidentally splashed while putting in my sweetener. Would give a higher rating if they offered different sizes so I could spend less.

Came in with some girlfriends during a bachelorette as we were staying at an Airbnb across the street. Their savory pastries are so good! They definitely care about their craft and the service is meaningful. They only had two workers on Friday morning so it took some time for us to get our drinks. My friend that loves almond milk said that it tasted different. We got confirmation that they make it in house! I love that. But my friend ended up doing oat milk which worked for them. It's located in the lobby of an office building, but there's but benches and cafe tables to sit at while enjoying a beverage! Very aesthetic and hip.

Finally got to try Vice City Bean today after seeing it so many times. It's a beautiful little coffee shop in a building's lobby. But, I'm a bit disappointed. The cold brew was... terrible. I couldn't even get halfway through it as it was very bitter. I did enjoy the energy bites found in the fridge; they're made up of a bunch of different nuts. For the cold brew, energy bites, and a small Just Water carton, I spent $18. Yikes. I could maybe be inclined to try them again. I bet the lattes are good, and at least the barista was sweet!

Look, I just don't think Miami is the best coffee city BUT this was one of the better coffees I've had in the area! Cute little space.

Genuinely the best matcha latte in Brickell hands down. Better than pura vida or raccoon coffee imo. The pastries are yummy too.

Was recommended this spot for matcha, but unfortunately it was one of the worst I've ever had. When I took the first sip I ate a clump of matcha powder.. It was not drinkable.

The Brickell location is fire!!!! I can't make enough good comments about the barista, she was such a pleasant and welcoming person. Not to mention her cappuccino was top notch. I had such an amazing experience at the Brickell location, the following day I wanted to go back but that location was closed bc it was the weekend. So I decided to visit another location of Vice City, and unfortunately had a horrible experience!!! The cashier, who also happened to be the barista, didn't have a clue what he was doing and was so overly concerned with making sure he charged me for the Vice City brewed beans he actually cancelled the transaction and made sure to recharge me! He also made such a big deal about me wanting breve and extra vanilla syrup he ended up forgetting to even make the drink with breve and I had to return it!!! On top of that I got a gnarly headache from whatever garbage beans he used, and it tasted horrible. Nothing even remotely similar to the amazing drink I had at Brickell. Anyhow, back to the Brickell location, the girl who was working barista and cashier was amazing and very knowledgeable and helpful! I asked the barista at the Brickell location if they brewed their own beans and made their own syrups (yeah I know I'm a coffee snob) -- and she quickly responded yes. I was so happy and immediately ordered a cappuccino. Once I got back to the car I gave my father a sip of my coffee and he was just as in love with the coffee as I was and almost finished the whole thing! Let me tell you this cappuccino was the most elegant smooth tasting espresso I've had in quite awhile, no bitter notes and the ratio of milk to espresso was exquisite, such a perfect balance!!! I would definitely return to the Brickell location, but stay far away from their other locations. The cafe is located inside of a corporate building and offers comfy seating in a quiet lobby. Definitely a good place to hang and relax. I will definitely return to the Brickell location next time I'm in Miami!

So happy I found this place, you would have no idea that a coffee shop was in this building! I got the flavored latte and the guy told me that the miel (honey) was the best one with cinnamon on top. He was right! It was delicious, sweet, and I would 100% order it again. It was $5.45 and came with a decorative heart as some latte art. He was super friendly and he had many regulars come by and get coffee and he knew their orders as soon as they walked in. It is a quiet space to enjoy your coffee in the lobby of the Sabadell Financial Center, making it the perfect place to get some work done as the music isn't too loud and there aren't many people. They have free wifi and tables with chargers.

The location is somewhat hidden but the coffee is great! I wish it was open on the weekends.

The coffee was nice and strong at Vice city however some of their drinks were a little overpriced in my opinion. We wanted to purchase a bottled juice for my younger sister and it was about $8!

The service was great and the coffee was delicious! The area is very quiet and peaceful so it fits well for studying or working quietly

Hands down the best flat white / cappuccino in the area. I stayed in the area a bit and tried all the coffee places around - trucks, bakeries, and markets. I love a strong 8 oz cappuccino (a la blue bottle) and this place delivered. Everywhere else was weaker tasting coffee, or not thick enough milk. Get the cappuccino here and you are set.

Love the original location, love this Brickell location, which is very coveniently located in the lobby of a quiet building. Vice is the best coffee in Miami!
