“If you live in Miami, you don’t get your coffee indoors. You get it through a window. A little window. A ventanita.” Through stunning photos and joyful interviews, the book Ventanitas: A Window into Miami’s Coffee Culture looks into the lives of the people who gather at the city’s coffee windows for conversation & human connection.
To purchase the book, head to O, Miami.
Ventanitas are the lifeblood of Miami, keeping the city fueled with strong, sweet coffee, and they’re also a window into its culture: a proud mix of United States and Latin America that is like nowhere else in the world.
I began developing my love letter to ventanitas during the peak of the pandemic in 2020 while I was pursuing my graduate degree in London. Now, these stories are accompanied by the work of award-winning photographer Gesi Schilling.
