Swapping fries for açaí never looked this good, as your favorite healthy eats receive a boho-chic makeover at Pura Vida Miami Shores, an Instagrammable café just 4 minutes from Pinewood.

Motor oil and espresso — not a combo you'd expect to work, but you'll understand why it works at Imperial Moto Café in Little River, just 6 minutes from Pinewood.

Humming with the low growl of engines and the hiss of a steaming wand, this unique dining spot takes craftsmanship head-on—and we're not just talking about their lineup of coffee drinks!

Born from founder Matt McKenna's love for vintage motorcycles and high-octane flavor, Imperial Moto Café roasts its own beans and fuels the day with blends like the bold Café Racer, sourced straight from Ethiopia and Brazil, which you can enjoy against a backdrop of exposed brick, hanging bulbs, and a display of leather-clad helmets make the space feel like a workshop and watering hole — only here, the throttle's traded for a tamper. 

Plus, you have delicious bites like flaky ham-and-cheese croissants, empanadas, smoothies, and açaí bowls to balance out the caffeine kick!

Order a flat white, park yourself beside that Ducati, and take as many photos as you can—it's a must at Imperial Moto Café.
