Forget Starbucks, This Tiny Shop Has Reinvented Coffee

For those experiencing Starbucks fatigue and in need of something new in the realm of coffee and sweets, Oh My Gosh! Brigadeiros, might be the answer.  

Located at 2298 Coral Way, the bright pink hotspot is a small venue that offers Miamians exotic treats from Brazil.

The shop’s main feature is the brigadeiros, a delicacy made up of condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter and chocolate sprinkles covering the outside layer.

There are fifteen different flavors to choose from, ranging from milk chocolate to churro-flavored. All brigadeiros are egg free, and eight out of the fifteen options are gluten free for those who have gluten allergies or just prefer the gluten free lifestyle.

Brigadeiros are available for purchase individually for $1.65, or in boxes that can hold up to 24 pieces, which can cost $39.60.

They also have mini cake jars filled with brigadeiro ingredients. For those with a sweet tooth, the “Perfect Jar” is topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and brigadeiro drizzle.

This idea came from Rio de Janeiro-born Luciano Brilho. Growing up in his native Brazil, he remembers this popular treat at every event he went to and, of course, the times he has visited his grandmother. Wanting to share his love for the bite-sized dessert, he opened the first brigaderia in Florida.

Aside from the Brazilian delicacies, the chocolate and coffee boutique is famously known for their cappuccinos with a twist. Along the rim of the cup, a thick layer of Nutella or Dulce de Leche drips from the top.

The entire thing is topped off with chunky sprinkles that make for a great sugar substitute that can be mixed with coffee. These delicious cappuccinos are priced at $4.50 a cup. Milkshakes, teas and espressos are also served.
