Miami-based Colombian inspired oasis, Amazonica has recently opened their latest outpost in the City’s Financial District, Brickell!
In 2018, the tropical treat paradise made their debut at Upper Buena Vista’s outdoor, and now has locations in Aventura Mall and New Jersey. To celebrate their recent opening the Columbian frozen delight and dessert destination added new menu items and coffee. Amazonica Brickell marks the fourth location for the brand.
“We wanted to expand to Brickell because we believe this neighborhood is the beating heart of Miami,” shared Ammiel Manevich, the owner. “It has a very interesting mix of residents, executives, young professionals, tourists, etc., and is the midst of surrounding an ‘urban jungle’, we want them to be able to escape into our little oasis where they can relax and refuel with a cup of coffee or enjoy a refreshing Cholado after a long-day.”
Inspired by his childhood memories, Manevich wanted to create a vibrant paradise where people could unwind and enjoy a refreshing and fueling treat. Partnering with Colombian celebrity chef Julian Hoyos, executive Chef at Restaurante El Silo, the duo developed an innovative spin on nostalgia street-food including the refreshing icy beverage, Cholado and sweet stuffed wafers known as, Obleas.
Cholados are an exotic ice-cold treat served in a cup layered with shaved ice, homemade fruit puree, fresh fruit topping and condensed milk and a wafer cookie. The Guavamaria cholado which is an ode to Miami blended with guava and topped with strawberries, ice cream, condensed milk, Maria cookies guava pasta and dulce de leche, or a cookie and cream Oblea stuffed with Oreos, white chocolate, Rice Krispies and whipped cream.
The new Brickell location honors the brand’s environmentally conscious beliefs striving to be 100% Eco-Friendly. Amazonica uses PET recycled cups, paper straws, bamboo spoons and plates. Their Brickell outpost is located at 1250 S. Miami Avenue. Suite 601, Miami, FL.
