miami | the nespresso lane.

the arrival of the nespresso café and boutique to lincoln road marks miami's personal caffeine evolution.

where cafecitos once reigned supreme, nespresso steps in with high-end, eco-friendly flavor options that take a tea-like approach to java. instead of same-old, same-old coffee with cream, nespresso serves up 16 different worldly inspired flavors, like indriya's strong, spicy blend or finezzo lungo's floral taste. each blend is housed in a color-coated capsule, which serves not only as the café's featured item, but anchors nespresso's elaborate modern setting. the impressive 15-foot back wall is comprised of 280,000 flavor capsules in a rainbow of hues, making it both a commodity and a work of art. bold colored chairs juxtaposed against dark waves of wood panels giving this particular nespresso location a little miami flavor. and speaking of flavor, nespresso's boutique features its sculpture-esque espresso machines, like the citiz ($279), ready to purchase. but for those who fancy a coffee stop as a home away from home, note the brand's carbon footprint: the shop favors reusable china to to-go cups and puts its eco-friendly farmed coffee in recyclable packaging.

there's plenty room to slow down here. the nespresso café and boutique. 1111 lincoln road. between lenox and alton. 305.538.5995. www.nespresso.com
