A COMMON GROUND

Inspired by the allure of art and street culture of a Miami neighborhood, THE FAT SEED CAFÉ + ROASTERY is brewing to be a destination that embraces all communities.

Since its opening in 2018, The Fat Seed Café + Roastery earned a warm reception for its vibrant interiors, extensive menu appealing to different tastebuds, and creative take on coffee shops. With a name coming from the idea of a seed planted in well-nourished soil, they are committed to their mission of bringing people together.

“When you're trying to create a lifestyle coffee shop, you have to have everything where you can see from start to finish,” founder and owner Bryant Dee explains. The store has to have life that no matter the background or purpose of visiting, customers will leave with a smile on their faces. “I want them to feel welcome… [the café] is kind of like a common ground for everyone.”

OUTPOUR OF ART

Having worked in Miami for a year, Dee was inspired to bring the lively neighborhood of Wynwood—its colorful murals, art galleries, stylish bistros, and artisanal eateries—to his coffee shop. “The community is very centered around people who care about the quality of food and drinks, who also know how to genuinely have a good time.”
