For as long as I can remember, coffee has been more than just a drink for me — it’s been a ritual, a comfort, and a way of connecting with people. Growing up in Miami, coffee wasn’t just a caffeine fix; it was culture. From early mornings filled with the smell of cafecito brewing, to long conversations around the table with friends and family, coffee has always been tied to love, laughter, and community in my life.
Over the years, I fell in love with the creativity behind coffee. Not just the espresso shots or the foams, but the flavors, the textures, the endless possibilities of turning a simple drink into an experience. I was that person who always had to try the seasonal latte, who experimented with syrups at home, and who believed coffee should always taste as good as it makes you feel.
But the dream of Pour Vida Miami came from something deeper: I wanted to create more than just a place to grab a drink. I wanted to create something that celebrated Miami’s culture, its mix of languages, its sweetness, its boldness, and its color. Coffee that feels fun, extra, and unapologetically Miami — with flavors that surprise you, names that make you laugh, and a vibe that makes you want to share it with everyone.
I started small, with an idea and a vision: a coffee trailer that could pull up anywhere and bring people joy, one latte at a time. I wanted it to be accessible, not tucked away in one location, but out there on the streets, at offices, at events — a mobile piece of happiness. A way to meet people where they are and brighten their day.
That’s how Pour Vida was born — “For Life.” Because coffee is for living in the moment. For celebrating little wins, for surviving long days, for making memories with friends. For laughing too loud and staying up too late. For living fully, right here, right now.
