After spending nearly a decade building the brand from New York City through e-commerce and events around the world, Raposa Coffee is officially calling Miami home.

The premium ready-to-drink coffee company recently relocated its U.S. headquarters to South Florida after realizing nearly 95 percent of its customers were already in the United States. Now, it’s leaning into the move with partnerships with the Miami Marlins and Miami Heat, while planning its first U.S. flagship café and roastery in Wynwood, expected to open in early 2027.

“We realized the future of the business was here,” said founder and CEO Andrew Sokolow. “Miami gives us the opportunity to be closer to our customers, build meaningful partnerships, and create a production hub that can serve the entire country.”

Founded in New York City, Raposa Coffee never relied on a traditional storefront. Instead, the company focused on selling online and introducing the brand at conferences and events around the world. It also operated a roasting café in Europe before shifting its focus to the growing U.S. market.

The move to Miami is changing more than just the company’s address.

Rather than roasting overseas and shipping products into the U.S., Raposa will now roast and distribute from South Florida, giving customers a fresher product while streamlining distribution across the country.

Rethinking Ready-to-Drink Coffee

Raposa is taking a different approach to canned coffee.

While many ready-to-drink beverages are loaded with sugar, heavy cream and artificial ingredients, Raposa uses specialty-grade Brazilian coffee with vegan ingredients, minimal sugar and no artificial flavors, preservatives or unnecessary additives.

That philosophy has helped the brand find a home in professional sports, where more athletes and fans are looking for cleaner, better-for-you beverage options without sacrificing flavor.

Building a Miami Presence

Raposa products are already available at Miami Marlins games, with availability at Miami Heat games beginning this upcoming NBA season through a multi-year partnership.

The company also recently participated in the X Games in Sacramento and is preparing to open its flagship Wynwood café and roastery in early 2027. The space will serve as both a customer-facing café and the company’s national production headquarters.

Among Raposa’s signature drinks are the Nitro Cookie Dough Latte, Matcha Squeeze and its naturally blue Flight Foam, colored with blue spirulina rather than artificial dyes.

With its headquarters now in Miami, partnerships with two of the city’s major sports franchises and its first U.S. café on the way, Raposa Coffee is betting its next chapter will be built right here in South Florida.
