Miami matcha scene grows

Barista Babes was founded by Marcela Galvez and Allegra Wynne‑Kaplan as a female‑owned mobile coffee-and-matcha operation that uses both a cart and a trailer and serves multiple campus locations on a weekly schedule. (themiamihurricane.com)) The Match Bike stations itself near the University of Miami Merrick Building and advertises a signature drink called the “Hurricane,” a matcha‑based beverage topped with a tangerine cold foam that reviewers say is dispensed and sealed into a can using a small cold‑foam machine. (themiamihurricane.com)) Café LoCoh operates as a micro‑roaster with a campus presence (listed on its social media as 5202 University Dr, open Monday–Thursday 9 a.m.–3 p.m.) and markets menu items that explicitly pair matcha with Latin American ingredients and flavors. (tiktok.com)) The guava‑matcha “hack” that’s trending online was posted March 25, 2026, as a layered iced recipe that pairs guava jam or guava juice with whisked matcha; DIY matcha guides recommend standard preparation ratios such as ~2 g (about 1 tsp) matcha whisked with 30–45 ml water before adding 180–220 ml milk for a latte. (scrumdiddlyumptious.com)) Other student‑run matcha ventures on campus include Honey Veil, launched by Miami‑native sisters Ceci and Regina Alcobe, which WLRN reported became a popular mobile café last semester and was founded when the siblings were 22 and 19 years old. (wlrn.org)) State business records show Barista Babes Coffee LLC listed in Florida business directories recently and Café LoCoh Company LLC incorporated on March 24, 2025, indicating several of the matcha vendors on campus have formal business registrations.
