A little over one year into living in South Beach, I officially consider myself a Miami local! Not just because we've been residents for a while, or the fact that I finally just changed my CA drivers license to a FL State licence just a few weeks ago...but because in the past few months I've gotten to know the locals. They've welcomed me in and it's helped me feel so at home. One of my favorite places to stop by for the people and the coffee is XO Espresso Bar. I'll link their site HERE! They are doing great things for the environment in the way they roast their coffee, and the aesthetic is pretty too. Both matter, you know!
I mention them because one day on my lunch break I stopped by XO for a 8oz latte and got into conversation with a nice guy in line. At first, I'll admit I was highly suspicious. He started asking me questions like, "How often do you come here? Do you live on the beach?" etc...to which I relied, "No, not really.." Because who are you? But, luckily I think he felt my, this must be a creeper vibe and introduced himself as Alan Roth, a developer of Lincoln Eatery, where XO lives, and went on to invite me and a couple people to the opening of the new rooftop spot they were opening in a couple weeks!
I was kind of in shock with how that conversation turned around, and really excited to check it out. I'm the girl the googles, "free rooftop views" in every city we're in, and I could tell this place was going to be gold. G and I made a date night out of it, got dressed up and headed up to the rooftop for the first time. We really loved the music and vibe, and are excited to make this place a regular stop for us on the weekends.
The Nest is now open at 5pm above The Lincoln Eatery in South Beach every weekend!
Come for a drink & the views! And special thanks to Alan for the invite.
As now credible Miami locals, we give this place a 5 out of 5!
Still pinching ourselves that we live here, and soaking it all up.
Thank you Jesus
