Robert Is Here Fruit Stand — Attraction in Florida City

During our visit to Robert Is Here, we were thoroughly impressed by the unique and vibrant atmosphere. Located in Homestead, this iconic fruit stand is a true gem, offering an extensive variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, and homemade products. The moment we arrived, we were greeted with the sweet aroma of tropical fruits and the friendly smiles of the staff.

The selection of exotic fruits was astounding. We tried several fruits we'd never seen before, and the staff was incredibly knowledgeable, offering samples and explaining the origins and flavors of each one. The passionfruit, starfruit, and dragon fruit were particular highlights, bursting with freshness and flavor.

One of the standout features of Robert Is Here is their famous milkshakes. We indulged in the strawberry key lime and mango milkshakes, and they were nothing short of amazing. Rich, creamy, and made with the freshest ingredients, these shakes are a must-try for anyone visiting.

The farm animals added a charming touch to the experience. We enjoyed watching the goats, turtles, and birds, making it a perfect spot for families with children. The little ones were delighted by the chance to feed the animals and explore the small petting zoo.

The variety of homemade jams, jellies, and sauces available for purchase was impressive. We couldn't resist bringing home a few jars of their delicious mango and guava jam. The friendly staff even shared some recipe ideas and serving suggestions.

Overall, our visit to Robert Is Here was a delightful and memorable experience. The combination of fresh produce, delectable treats, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it a must-visit destination. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a taste of local flavor and a...

Robert Is Here in Homestead is so much more than a fruit stand. 🥭🍌🍋 We went thinking it would be a quick stop for fresh produce, but it turned into a full experience.

Here are some highlights from our visit: • Milkshakes: We tried the Key Lime and Banana flavors. The Key Lime was good but a bit more tart than we expected. The Banana milkshake was perfectly sweet, creamy, and absolutely delicious. • Fresh produce and treats: We picked up some huge mangos to take home along with some pumpkin butter. They had mangos cut to sample too. Everything we tried was top quality and clearly cared for. • Meeting Robert: The owner himself checked us out and was an absolute delight. He graciously recapped the exciting Miami Hurricanes game from the night before and shared about about the jams and jellies when I asked about them. His mom started making them decades ago, and today they still provide her original recipes along with many new flavors. Meeting him made the visit feel personal and special. The whole staff was friendly and seemed to be enjoying their jobs. • Family fun: This place is not just about food. There are farm animals to see, play areas for kids, and even live music on the day we visited. It’s a place where families can spend time exploring, tasting, and enjoying the atmosphere.

Overall, this is a must-visit spot if you are in the Homestead or Everglades area, or on your way to or from the Keys. Whether for the shakes, the fruit, or just the lively, welcoming environment, Robert Is Here is a memorable experience. Be sure to say hello to Robert if he is around because he truly adds a personal touch that makes this place...

Must visit place when in SoFlo just because of the history and popularity. Lots of great flavors of fresh fruit milkshakes, cash or card is fine to pay with (see my picture for flavors/pricing as of Summer 2021), line moves fast, quality is great, you taste chunks of actual fruit in the shake and can even see while they are preparing it. They still use PLASTIC STRAWS AND STYROFOAM cups which was shocking to me given the apparent good business this place pulls especially with tourists, they clearly profit of the the soil, animals and environment hence should commit to saving it! The live music quality fluctuates, last time around it was great, this time was kind of a drag and was on the inside part of the establishment as opposed to outside by the street. Lots of fresh fruit, honey, boiled peanuts, craft etc (just scroll thru my pics). What I most dislike about this place is the animal enclosure, smelly and humid, but they’re farm animals right? But still kinda sad to see so many animals in there in the sweltering heat. Spaced out seating is good for COVID distancing and lots of picnic tables in shaded areas to watch the animals or your kids as they play in the playpen/grass. Picnic tables should be cleaned, dry bird feces and food spills are all over, this establishment doesn’t pride itself on cleanliness. A few outdoor toilets but toilet paper is scattered all over the ground on the outside (used and unused!!), didn’t see anyone tending to the cleanliness of this area either. BBQ gets going later in the day, but I didn’t try it, so no comment, take a look at pics for pricing if interested. A few antique planes, farm machinery...
