I rode bike and drove to every coffee window on SW 8th St from South Beach to the Everglades and other major coffee windows and cafeterias all over Miami and photographed everything. It's all in this book, along with interviews and a visit to the sugar cane fields near Lake Okeechobee. Ventanitas (literally "little windows") are walkup coffeeshops most often attached to larger indoor cafeterias. They are a unique cultural phenomenon in South Florida. There are approximately 60 coffee windows on Calle Ocho between South Beach and The Everglades which equals on average a coffee window every couple of blocks. That's a lot of concrete. That's a lot of coffee. That's a lot of coffee windows.

Review

"Wonderful, evocative pictures and stories. I don't know what a person might expect from a self-published book on Cuban Coffee Windows of Miami - but this book exceeded my expectations." - A.M.D.G.

"Jacob Katel, a writer, photographer and artist, spent six weeks documenting Miami’s ventanita culture by visiting more than 100 walk-up windows, mostly along Calle Ocho, but from Key Biscayne to the edge of the Everglades. The result was “Cuban Coffee Windows of Miami,” a picture-rich, 417-page book that he will discuss at next month’s Miami Book Fair." - Miami Herald: Carlos Fr�as

"Jacob Katel's love letter to Miami’s caf� cubano culture, photo essays transport the viewer from Calle Ocho to South Beach to the Everglades, documenting and interviewing the steamy heroes of espresso culture." - Miami New Times: Deirdre Mendoza
