It's a seemingly authentic fruit store and we came here specifically to grab some juices/smoothies. It has quite an eccentrically decorated interior but that only made it feel more cuban I suppose. Juices were all made but sometimes sloppily as there was way too much in my cup and it was forcibly shut and spilled over on all sides. This shop adds more to the immersion of little Havana so I would highly recommend a stop here. Very helpful if you also know Spanish lolol

*** CASH ONLY ***I first learned about this open-air fruit stand during my Little Havana Food & Cultural Tour. After the tour ended, I just had to get back here again before leaving Little Havana. This mom-and-pop shop has been family-run since 1963 and all fruits are always fresh & nothing frozen.[Parking]: There's a free outdoor parking lot (via PayByPhone app location 45350) behind Maximo Gomez Domino Park (901 SW 15th Ave, Miami, FL 33135) until 6 PM just two blocks away.[Menu]: The stand serves fresh "Batido" smoothie from mangos, mameys, guanabanas, or coconuts. Here customers have an option to pick their own fruits at the stand, mix and match an array of fruits and veggies, and ask the staff to serve a custom batch from the bar. The star beverage is the "Green Juice" which is made with real sugarcane, apio (celery), perejil (parsley), and ginger. Juices are typically pressed by an abuela who has been doing this for 30+ years. The bar also serves Cuban coffee too. Other juices include "Etiophia" Juice (sugar cane, avocado, guava), Argentino Juice (mango, pina aka pineapple, aguacate aka avocado, menta aka mint), abuelo (sugar cane, pineapple, and lemon), "Coronaviros" (sugar cane, lemon, ginger, and honey), etc. ***Mango juice ($5): It was the best mango juice I have ever had in my entire life and most likely the best juice I will ever have.***I am so sad that I won't be having this good of mango juice when I get back to Los Angeles. Absolutely a must-visit stop in Miami!

Rustic and locally managed fruit stand in the heart of Calle Ocho. They don't necessarily have tons of variety but they have what's in season and it's fresh! When we went, the place was filled with mangos, which makes sense since it's mango season. We had some delicious freshly made mango smoothies and enjoyed them in the patio area in the back.

Great place. I lot of history told by just looking at the decor. The drinks were very very good and freshly made right in front of you. Service was right on point.

Great place in little Havana to have fresh fruit. It's about $4 for a fresh coconut that they chop cut in front of you. The particular one I had didn't have that much "meat" in it, but it was somewhat sweet. They also have a ice cold sugar cane for $4. The can also make juice with any of the variety of fruit that they have in stock. The hours on google are wrong, so just call ahead to make sure they are open. I believe it was 7am-4pm. It's also street parking only.

This place doesn't stand out from the street and doesn't have any flashy "tourists come here" signs. It's a quiet open air fruit stand and smoothie place where you can get really fresh fruits and really tasty drinks. Out back is a cute very down to earth seating area to enjoy your purchases.

A local neighborhood fruit store that makes amazing smoothies! There really isn't a menu??? We just told the guy that we wanted a smoothie and he asked us to trust him. I think he made a watermelon guava smoothie and it was the best thing we've ever had lolol. Also got a soursop since you they're so hard to find in NYC, it was so good but also way too much lol. Couldn't finish it and I felt so bad throwing it out but the sweetness and texture was getting to me lol. But definitely recommend. They're all so sweet here! Brought some guavas back to NYC because you also can't get this sweetness up here!

You cannot not come here, meaning, you should definitely come here. It is out in Little Havana which does mean a 20min uber ride or so from downtown Miami, but this area is just worth coming to. I love fresh fruit and fresh fruit juices. This place has it. You can buy your fruit and they will cut it up for you. Being that it hit almost 90deg that day, I was working so hard to prevent heat exhaustion and dehydration. Everything was a coconut water. Of course I would definitely get a coconut from here!PROS:- quick (the owner literally just hacked it open right in front of me)- refreshing- fresh (it's the legit young coconut)CONS: - unfortunately it was mostly on the older end and we couldn't scoop out the meat. Young coconut meat is almost clear and SUPER tender. Amazing flavor and just super cooling. Having been born in SE Asia, it was so nice to see the fruits that I find so hard to get in Georgia (surprisingly they have it in NYC though which is almost as landlocked but probably the most international city in the USA if not the world). Would I make a trip out here again? Probably - if I craved my fruits enough then yes, I would. Also Little Havana is just such a nice place to chill out at, quick break from the Miami beach vibe :)

On a recent trip to Florida, my friend and I decided to take a day and spend it in Little Havana. We stopped by this fruit shop/ stand and looked at all of the exotic fruits we hadn't seen before. The gentleman working there was so kind and took his time explaining what many of the items were and why they're special to the cuban culture. I was thrilled to be able to try fruits I hadn't heard of before like a Mamey, Guanana, and a Quenepa. All three were delicious! We purchased these fruits as well as a Guava to take home and the freshness is just something you don't find at the grocery store. Definitely a worthwhile stop when in Little Havana!
I visited this place once, about a few months back. I spoke to an old lady that was holding caña de azúcar, I believe, while trying to make some Guarapo. There is a flag they keep in the back, which is part of their history, I believe. That grabbed my attention and that's why I started asking her questions. The local Little Havana Tours share that type of knowledge when visiting this place. I was not able to buy anything that day because I was just walking around the area without my wallet. I also passed by the other morning and they were blasting Salsa Music. Such a Little Havana place. Hope they stay there, with so much change happening in the neighborhood.

I was pretty disappointed in my visit here. I came for a refreshing drink and he was out of sugarcane to make the drinks I wanted. He offered a coconut or mango juice. Maybe I should of tried the mango juice because my coconut was warm. Who wants a warm coconut on a 90 degree summer day? The guy that helped me didn't really seem interested in helping me, more like I was a burden. They had fun music playing, but the vibe still wasn't there due to the dudes personality being so blah. There were flies all over the old moldy fruit, and it just seemed unsanitary there.

While walking through little Havana in the Miami heat we decided to make a stop for some fresh and cold coconut water. The owner told us to sit outside while he prepped our coconuts. It was nice to sit outside and enjoy the other side of little Havana with the chickens, roosters, old patio furniture, and the Miami people that have lived there for years before it became gentrified.

Everytime I come to Miami I stop here. I always have the best experiences! The brothers who own the place are so nice. This is one of my favorite fresh juice spots in Miami!

Came here to try the batido de mamey (saw it in a YouTube video!), and it was tasty! This is a quaint little shop with so many fruits, everything looks really tasty! I don't really know what a mamey fruit is, but our drink was lightly sweet, thick, but still light! It was perfect for a hot day. Definitely worth visiting this spot!
