Jake Katel Cuban Coffee Windows of Miami

I rode bike and drove to every coffee window on SW 8th St from South Beach to the Everglades and other major coffee windows and cafeterias all over Miami and photographed everything. It's all in this book, along with interviews and a visit to the sugar cane fields near Lake Okeechobee. Ventanitas (literally "little windows") are walkup coffeeshops most often attached to larger indoor cafeterias. They are a unique cultural phenomenon in South Florida. There are approximately 60 coffee windows on Calle Ocho between South Beach and The Everglades which equals on average a coffee window every couple of blocks. That's a lot of concrete. That's a lot of coffee. That's a lot of coffee windows.
