Wynwood's anchor roaster has been the neighbourhood's caffeine source since 2010, which in Wynwood time makes it ancient. Leticia and Joel Pollock started roasting single-origin beans before the murals arrived, and their shop on NW 2nd Avenue has outlasted every trend cycle the neighbourhood has produced. The space is open-air in the Miami fashion — garage doors up, the street visible, the heat managed by fans and cold brew rather than air conditioning. The coffee is roasted on-site, the pour-overs are patient, and the espresso program treats extraction as a craft rather than a commodity.

A pour-over of whatever single-origin is current — the staff can walk you through the options and the flavour profiles are genuinely distinct. The cold brew in summer is a survival tool. The espresso is pulled with precision; a cortado or a flat white reveals the roast character. The iced latte with oat milk is the Wynwood default but the black coffee is the real product. Pastries from local bakeries rotate.
Weekday mornings from 8am to 10am when the Wynwood creative workforce stops in and the pace allows conversation about the beans. Weekend mornings from 9am bring longer lines but the people-watching is excellent. Avoid the 11am-1pm weekend window when the gallery-walking crowds peak and the line extends down the block.
Located on NW 2nd Avenue in the heart of Wynwood, a block from Wynwood Walls. The space is partially open-air — shade is provided but full air conditioning is not. In summer, the indoor counter area is the cooler option. Multiple locations exist across Miami, but the Wynwood original is the flagship and the most atmospheric. Wi-Fi is available but Panther is better as a stop than a workspace — the seating is limited and the turnover is expected. Cash and card accepted. The retail beans make an excellent souvenir.
