Known for rewriting the rules of coffee culture in the UK, Black Sheep Coffee is ready to stir things up in South Florida. On August 12, 2025, the brand will officially open the doors to its first Florida outpost at Grove Central in Coconut Grove—marking a significant milestone in its U.S. expansion. The grand opening will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Mayor Francis Suarez, appearances by founders Gabriel Shohet and Eirik Holth, and complimentary samples from their globally inspired menu.

Founded in 2013 by Shohet and Holth, Black Sheep Coffee quickly carved a name for itself in London’s competitive café scene with its audacious slogan: #LeaveTheHerdBehind. It became the first specialty coffee brand in the UK to champion 100% specialty-grade Robusta beans—favored for their smoother body, higher caffeine content, and richer flavor profile compared to traditional Arabica. What began as a rebellious idea between two college roommates has evolved into a cult favorite known for bold brews, creative menus, and urban style.

Following a successful rollout in Texas with cafés in Grapevine and Dallas, the brand’s Miami debut signals the next wave of growth for Black Sheep Coffee in the U.S.—and a shake-up of the city’s luxury coffee scene.

Located at 2750 SW 27th Terrace, Suite 108, the new café sits within the Grove Central development near Target and Total Wine. The Coconut Grove location stays true to Black Sheep Coffee’s design DNA—an art-forward, globally inspired aesthetic that balances casual sophistication with creative edge.

Guests can expect a full sensory experience, from the punchy aroma of specialty Robusta blends to the colorful swirl of matcha in flavors like Peaches & Cream or Strawberries & Cream. For the U.S. and Middle East markets, the brand has curated an exclusive Cold Brew range, alongside bestsellers like iced vanilla oat lattes and espresso martinis.

Black Sheep Coffee’s offerings go far beyond the espresso bar. Its food and drink menus reflect a commitment to quality, innovation, and cultural nods that appeal to the global traveler:

• Norwegian Waffles topped with Nutella, berries, and other sweet or savory additions

• 100% Ceremonial Grade Matcha in a playful range of U.S.-exclusive flavors

• Organic Açaí Bowls, smoothies, and freshly baked pastries

• Coffee-Based Cocktails like the signature espresso martini

The café’s laid-back energy makes it equally suited for a leisurely breakfast, a midday pick-me-up, or an evening espresso cocktail with friends.

With its uncompromising approach to quality, creative flair, and community engagement, Black Sheep Coffee brings something new to Miami’s evolving café culture. The grand opening celebration on August 12, 2025, promises to be more than just a ribbon cutting—it’s a statement that the herd is being left behind, one Robusta shot at a time.
