Dancing With the Stars pros Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov have traded sequins for espresso, opening Sulta Rosa, a luxury coffee-and-dessert cafe on Miami Beach’s Lincoln Road. The husband-and-wife team marked the debut with a Tuesday grand-opening celebration and say the space blends European pastry craft with specialty coffee. The concept is pitched as a daytime confectionery that turns into a late-night coffee bar where guests are encouraged to linger. The shop is a partnership with Miami entrepreneur Emanuel Rich and serves as the couple’s first public restaurant venture.
The Lincoln Road Flagship
According to Time Out, Sulta Rosa’s ribbon-cutting took place on Tuesday and the cafe now holds down 821 Lincoln Road in the heart of the pedestrian promenade. Time Out reports that the menu leans into high-end confections, with buttery croissants, handcrafted gelato, artisanal baklava and freshly baked cookies sharing space with specialty coffee drinks. The outlet notes that this is the duo’s first restaurant concept and that Emanuel Rich is handling day-to-day operations.
Menu, Craft and Late-Night Hours
Per Sulta Rosa, the flagship lists 821 Lincoln Road as its address and promotes a "Coffee Bar by Night" that extends service into the evening. The brand emphasizes small-batch production and premium ingredients, including Sicilian pistachios, Iranian saffron and pure Damask rosewater, which anchor its signature "Angel Delights" and baklava. The site also lists store hours and contact information for visitors planning a stop.
Why Two Dancers Decided To Open A Cafe
As Modern Luxury reports, the couple built Sulta Rosa out of years spent touring and hunting down memorable neighborhood cafés across Europe. Karagach told the outlet, "The dream was always to have Sulta Rosa in as many places around the world as possible," while Pashkov said the design and menu choices are meant to echo those travel rituals. Modern Luxury adds that Emanuel Rich is handling the business side while the pair focus on the creative details and hospitality.
Opening Night And Local Turnout
Photos and a local event listing point to a packed launch. World Red Eye published event photography from the July 7 celebration, and an event page on Luma lists the grand opening as a Tuesday evening gathering with hundreds indicating interest. Guests and founders were photographed mingling in the new space, which staff say is meant to function as a neighborhood stop for both tourists and locals. Early coverage highlights the polished fit-out and the pastry case as immediate draws for Lincoln Road foot traffic.
Practical Details
Per Sulta Rosa, the venue lists daily hours of 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. and runs a Rose Circle loyalty program geared toward repeat visitors. Guests can expect a pastry-forward menu with coffee drinks that lean European in profile and occasional evening pairings, according to the founders and the brand. Menus, hours and contact information are available on the Sulta Rosa site for anyone planning a stop on Lincoln Road.
