Black Sheep Coffee is stepping on the gas in South Florida, lining up new shops in Doral and Miami Beach on the heels of its first Miami-area café in Coconut Grove. The UK-born chain says its rollout will mix in-line, end-cap and drive-thru locations tailored to each neighborhood, with the company aiming to wrap its planned South Florida buildout by the end of 2027.
According to WhatNow, the next stop is 10800 NW 41st Street in the new Doral Marketplace, part of a regional push that also includes planned locations in Miami Beach. The outlet notes that founders Eirik Holth and Gabriel Shohet have relocated to Miami to personally shepherd the brand’s U.S. expansion.
Multi‑unit Miami Beach push
QSR Magazine reports that Black Sheep has inked a multi‑unit development deal to open at least six shops across Miami Beach over the next five years, building on the company’s existing Coconut Grove café and the forthcoming Doral outpost. The publication adds that the brand now operates more than 140 outlets worldwide, and quotes co‑founder Eirik Holth calling Miami "one of the most exciting cities in the world right now."
Where the Doral shop will sit
Black Sheep already has a foothold in Miami with its Coconut Grove café at 2750 SW 27th Terrace, according to The Infatuation. The Doral Marketplace project, a Whole Foods‑anchored center at 10800 NW 41st Street, features a roster of national and regional tenants, and a Traded lease report shows Black Sheep signing for roughly 1,998 square feet at the center. Colliers identifies the development as Doral Marketplace and lays out the project’s public details.
Why the Robusta angle matters
Black Sheep has staked its identity on 100% specialty‑grade Robusta as its house espresso, a move the company markets as a "Robusta Revival," according to Black Sheep Coffee. The chain says the bean yields a bolder, smoother cup with more caffeine, and it backs that up with a menu that runs from Norwegian waffles and matcha drinks to espresso martinis.
What to watch next
South Florida openings are expected to roll out through 2027 as Black Sheep builds its U.S. footprint, and QSR Magazine notes the chain is also targeting growth in Texas. Locals in Doral and Miami Beach may want to keep an eye on job boards and new storefront permits if they want to be first in line when the next round of Black Sheep cafés quietly clicks on the open sign.
