BIGFACE — Restaurant in Miami

“Bigface Coffee: Where TikTok Influencers and Big Belly Vibes Collide"

I finally pulled up to Bigface Coffee in the Miami Design District because, well, it’s Miami, and everyone swears they’re a coffee connoisseur if they spend more than $7 on a latte. I had high hopes for Jimmy Butler’s spot, thinking it’d deliver that same “playoff Jimmy” energy. Well… not quite.

Before heading in, I did my due diligence (scroll through TikTok) and stumbled upon twin influencer girls hyping the place up like it was the Fountain of Youth.They were all like "OMG, you HAVE to try the iced oat milk vanilla latte." So, naturally, I walk in, order it… and who walks in right behind me? Them. The same twin sisters from TikTok, except in real life, it was giving “we slept on a guy’s floor mattress, and his only furniture is a gaming chair.” Sunglasses indoors, dry shampoo vibes—it was like a Miami rite of passage happening in real-time.

The shop itself? Sleek, shiny, and aggressively bougie. It feels like an Apple Store married an espresso bar and had a child that judges you for asking for caramel syrup. Bigface has a ton of merch—hats, shirts, mugs, all dripping with that Bigface logo. If you’re into flexing on Instagram, this place is your Mecca. Meanwhile, I’m just trying to figure out if I accidentally wandered into a Pinterest board photoshoot. It was a sea of AirPods and leggings, all clutching Bigface-branded tumblers like they were the Miami version of a Birkin bag.

Then there’s David, the barista—Oh, David. My man is the backbone of Bigface Coffee—and the vibe check I didn’t know I needed. You can’t miss him: Chunky guy with glasses, beard, belly hanging out of his shirt, serving coffee while his shirt fights for its life. David’s belly? Out here putting in work. Home boy’s pouch moved so much while he worked the espresso machine, I legit thought I stumbled into a belly dancing class. Somebody get this man a hula skirt and a standing ovation. Honestly, forget “Bigface Coffee”; just rebrand as “Big Belly Coffee” and let David be the mascot. He’s already earned it. And the coffee? Look, the iced oat milk vanilla latte was decent, but it’s not making me feel like Pat Riley’s about to give Jimmy a max extension. This drink tasted like Jimmy’s trade rumors last summer: kind of messy, not worth the hype, and leaving you with more questions than answers. For $8, I wanted a drink that hits like a Game 7 buzzer-beater, but this barely made me feel like a Tuesday night matchup against the Pistons. Bigface Coffee is less about the coffee and more about the experience. It’s the chaos of TikTok influencers, David’s Big Belly Energy, and the chance to pretend you’re bougie for an hour. But if Jimmy wants this place to compete with the cafecito legends of Miami, he’s got work to do. Until then, I’ll be hitting my abuela’s kitchen for a $2 cafecito that could actually inspire a playoff run.

10/10 would come back just to watch David belly...

I rarely write reviews, but my experience at Big Face Coffee left much to be desired. I walked in expecting a cozy, local spot to enjoy a quality cup of coffee—but what I got was a real letdown. The coffee itself was disappointing: lukewarm, bland, and definitely not worth the steep prices. It felt like every cup was made in a rush, with little attention paid to flavor or consistency.

The service wasn’t much better. The staff seemed disinterested and unenthusiastic about their work. I noticed several customers had similar issues, with a few even mentioning that friendly greetings or simple courtesy were hard to come by. The overall vibe of the place was chaotic rather than inviting—a far cry from the relaxing café experience I was hoping for.

Additionally, the atmosphere left a lot to be desired. The decor felt outdated and the seating area was cramped, making it difficult to settle in for more than a few minutes before being overwhelmed by noise and clutter.

Overall, my visit to Big Face Coffee was underwhelming, and I left feeling disappointed both in the quality of the product and the lack of customer care. It seems like this spot might be more about style than substance, and unfortunately, I won’t be returning...

Unfortunately, my experience at Big Face in the Miami Design District was disappointing. While the store itself has an interesting design and unique aesthetic, the customer service left much to be desired. The staff seemed uninterested and inattentive, giving off an unwelcoming vibe that made it difficult to enjoy the shopping experience.

I tried to ask questions about some of the pieces, but it felt like pulling teeth to get even the most basic information. There was no effort to engage or assist, and I left feeling like my presence in the store was more of an inconvenience than anything else. In a district known for its luxury and elevated service, this was a letdown.

The products might be worth exploring, but without the right support from the staff, the experience falls flat. I hope they can improve their approach to customer service because this store has potential but needs a serious shift in how they treat...
