Ralph’s Coffee is yet another concept announced in Aventura Mall’s efforts to expand its dining program this year. Ralph’s Coffee comes from designer Polo Ralph Lauren, which unveiled its own cafe program in 2014 at their New York flagship.
This will be the first Ralph’s Coffee in Florida and the brand’s third location overall within the United States. The brand currently maintains two Ralph’s Coffees in Manhattan, plus five locations dispersed throughout China, Japan and Qatar.
Ralph Lauren Hospitality Operations Manager Willy Feid confirmed with What Now Miami this week that Ralph’s Coffee is indeed slated to make its Aventura debut this summer. It will be a free-standing location right outside the Ralph Lauren store on the mall’s lower level.
Ralph’s Coffee is made possible with the help of Philadelphia-based coffee roasters La Colombe, who specially roast and package Ralph’s Roast, Espresso, and Decaf beans, which are grown organically in Central America, South America and Africa.
“The smell of freshly brewed coffee evokes so many memories for me,” the company’s namesake founder writes on their website. “Mostly of time spent with friends and family, the people I love. I wanted to develop these coffee blends in that spirit, and create a place where people could come together and take a break from their busy days.”
