My Sugar is So Refined

Miami will never never see a shortage of Cuban coffee--it will never happen.

I'm sure it depends on the neighborhood, but we happen to live in a largely Hispanic area, so we get our fill of the good stuff by way of those little, outdoor counters, where they shovel out the sugar, cigars and espresso.

The other day we took the boys to El Rinconcito Latino (on Coral Way and 67th Avenue) for some Cuban take-out. The food is pretty good for the price and quantity, and the service and experience are both great.

While we waited on our order, the boys sat at these neat mosaic and concrete tables, and when that got boring (after 1 minute), they served themselves some water from the requisite cooler--which are a standard, apparently, in this kind of operation.
