Miami, FL
Local favorite Sunshine Coffee just opened a North Beach flagship
Sunshine Coffee, the homegrown brand known for its cheerful vibes, buzzy drinks and must-have treats, has officially opened the doors to its new flagship location in North Beach.
The new café at 7351 Collins Avenue sits in the same neighborhood where founders Alan Philips and Gelareh Mizrahi live with their four children. Through that proximity, the couple has created a business expansion that’s more like an open invitation to the surrounding community.
The new space was designed to capture the carefree spirit of a Miami beach day, with soaring curved ceilings, a dramatic wave-inspired coffee bar and a color palette that flows from sunshine yellow to ocean blue. It’s a sunny space that both a coffee shop and a happy beach getaway.
Fans of Sunshine Coffee’s signature drinks will find plenty to celebrate. The beloved Miami Iced is on the menu alongside favorites like the Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Bananababy and the nutrient-packed Super. Matcha lovers also have reason to rejoice, thanks to an expanded Gelly’s Matcha lineup, featuring colorful creations including the popular Baby Blue Butterfly Vanilla Matcha topped with strawberry foam.
Of course, Sunshine Coffee wouldn’t be Sunshine Coffee without a playful menu. Established winners include the internet-famous Pancake Cake, Brown Butter Focaccia Cinnamon Roll, Truffle Hashbrowns with Caviar and fresh-made Sundrop Doughnuts. New additions such as the Spicy Tuna Wrap with Crispy Rice Crumble and Huevos Rancheros Burrito add even more flavor to the mix.
Perhaps the biggest splash comes from an exclusive new soft-serve program available only at the North Beach location. Choose from naturally-colored yellow vanilla or blue Greek yogurt soft serve, then turn them into dreamy creations like the Sunshine Affogato or the cookie-topped Dream Team.
With two locations now open and plans to continue growing throughout Miami, Sunshine Coffee is establishing itself as a neighborhood café, a gathering place, a local landmark and place to grab a daily dose of both caffeine and sunshine.

Las Vegas may have cornered the market on quirky wedding chapels, but Miami is finally getting one of its own.
Little Rose Chapel, a newly opened venue in Miami, is billing itself as the city’s first and only boutique wedding chapel, giving couples a stylish alternative to both generic wedding venues or the fluorescent-lit charm of a courthouse ceremony.
The chapel was founded by Brandy Rose and her partner, Rudy, who saw a gap in Miami’s wedding scene. The idea was simple: to create a dedicated space for intimate weddings, elopements, vow renewals and photo shoots, all wrapped in a design-forward package. While the city is packed with luxury hotels, waterfront venues and destination wedding options, couples looking for a small-scale ceremony often find themselves piecing together a plan on their own.
“We wanted to create a space where eloping feels stress-free yet beautiful and fun, whether you’re planning a year ahead or a week ahead,” Rose said. “Miami has incredible wedding venues but there wasn’t a dedicated wedding chapel experience. We built the place we wished existed.”
The opening comes as smaller weddings continue to gain popularity and Little Rose Chapel was designed with that audience in mind. The venue features a dedicated ceremony space for intimate weddings and elopements, licensed officiant services and a private Sweetheart Suite Vanity Lounge where couples can get ready before walking down the aisle. In addition to weddings, the chapel is available for vow renewals, commitment ceremonies and photo shoot rentals.
Whether you’re planning a spontaneous elopement, a micro-wedding with your closest friends or simply need a romantic setting for engagement photos, Miami now has a dedicated spot to make it official—no flight to Las Vegas required.
