Mr. Bean is your friendly neighborhood go-to coffee shop. The atmosphere presents a home away from home cozy feel, where customer service and attention to detail is the main focus. At Mr. Bean, everyone gets greeted with a hello wave and welcome. We believe in an ultimate coffee experience where a customizable A-Z cup of coffee should always be within reach. From our deliciously hand-picked local bakers & chefs we love to create moments of happiness.
In the tranquil open-air landscape of The Falls, Mr. Bean at 8888 SW 136th St (Suite 585) is a vibrant, retro-inspired sanctuary that defies the corporate "grab-and-go" coffee culture.
Founded by a trio of local entrepreneurs—Francisco Musalem, Alex Pagola, and Michael Soave—this shop was born from a desire to bring "neighborhood warmth" to one of Miami’s busiest shopping districts. It’s a "Home Away from Home" where you aren't just a transaction; you're greeted with a wave and invited to stay for a game of chess.
The Vibe: Retro Leisure & Local Love
The atmosphere at Mr. Bean is Cozy, Interactive, and Community-Centric. While most mall cafes are designed to get you out the door, Mr. Bean is designed to pull you in. The space is filled with retro vibes and interactive games—think checkers, tic-tac-toe, and puzzles. It is a social hub where laptops are welcome, but conversation and play are the true currencies.
What Makes Mr. Bean Unique
The "Mom and Pop" Incubator: The founders have a strict philosophy of supporting local artisans. Nearly everything you eat here—from the pastries to the savory bites—is sourced from hand-picked local bakers and chefs, making it a curated gallery of Miami’s best small-batch culinary talent.
The "Omusubee" Curiosity: In a sea of standard sandwiches, Mr. Bean offers Omusubees (Japanese-style rice balls), featuring creative fillings like Spicy Shrimp or Nashville Hot Chicken. They are the perfect "power fuel" for a long day of shopping.
The "Flavor alchemists": While they serve a killer traditional Colada, they are locally famous for their creative lattes and macchiatos. With over 25 flavors—ranging from Nutella and Lavender to the whimsical Cotton Candy and Desert Pear—it is one of the few places in Miami where coffee is treated as a customizable craft.
Dog-Friendly Hospitality: True to its neighborhood feel, the shop is a BringFido favorite. It’s a common sight to see local residents stop by with their dogs after a walk, enjoying the breezy outdoor-indoor flow that The Falls is known for.
Standout Menu Items
The Pistachio Croissant: A flaky, buttery masterpiece that has become their #1 most-liked baked good. It is often cited as the reason people make the trip to the mall in the first place.
Basque Burnt Cheesecake: A sophisticated, crustless delight that offers a rich, creamy texture with a signature "burnt" top—rare to find at a standard coffee shop.
The "Morning Glory" (Pan de Bono): They offer a highly-rated Gluten-Free Pan de Bono (Colombian cheese bread), ensuring that those with dietary restrictions don't have to sacrifice flavor.
Vegan Empanadas: Their Mushroom (with cashew cheese) and Lentil empanadas are local legends, proving that "vegan" can be just as satisfying as "traditional."
