MIAMI – Sky Coffee Buenos Aires recently opened in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood.
It’s in a retired McDonnell Douglas MD-88 series aircraft that carried passengers until 2019.
It is parked at Southwest First Court, between Southwest 15 Road and 13 Street.
“Looking for the seats, I found the airplane, here in Florida, a small town, Leesburg,” said Rosana Bentos, the coffee shop’s owner who said she sold her house to buy it.
The menu includes a VIP section with the “Tierra del Fuego” cappuccino, an ode to the Argentine town of Carolina’s gold rush. It includes edible 24K gold and a chocolate truffle. It’s $19.50. There is also cotton candy sprinkled with edible gold powder for $8.
The VIP section also includes the “Sweet Mammoth Rain,” a hot coffee sweetened with cotton candy at $12.50, and the “Casa Rosada,” with red velvet cappuccino, edible roses, and a fig macaroon at $9.50.
The food options include 28 bakery options, 12 soups, 11 sandwiches, 5 breakfast options, 7 empanadas, and 3 salads.
The bakery options include a chocolate cake made out of cocoa from Ecuador and a croissant with a pistachio cream filling.
There is also a selection of teas and cold drinks. For more information, visit this page.
