What is 3:05 Cafecito Break? We are Miami’s Official Cafecito Break! JLPR embarked on the ambitious task to make 3:05 the official time for cafecito of Miami-Dade County in April of 2012. In April of 2013, 3:05 Cafecito became official in the City of Miami! The idea came about to unify the Cuban coffee culture and create and on-line community that would enjoy sharing this mutual love for Miami’s nectar. You don’t need to be Cuban to enjoy it or even from Miami but Cuban coffee drinkers understand the culture. The window of a Cuban restaurant is the original social network. It is where, on any hot afternoon, you might find a relative, an old friend, the Mayor of Miami or Dwyane Wade. Sharing a coloda is an act of friendship and solidarity. What is Miami without cafecito? Because we are a proud city that loves cafecito, we feel it is appropriate that 3:05 be proclaimed Miami’s Official Cafecito Break Time. All over Miami, Cuban Cafecito time is catching on! So Miami, let’s kick that “2:30 feeling” at 3:05. Join us as we create a movement of caffeinated awesomeness! Join the movement by liking 3:05 Cafecito on Facebook or followng us on Twitter/Instagram @305Cafecito! Tag your cafecito moments on with #305cafecito and let’s share a cafecito! Until then, nos vemos en la ventanita.
