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!
