Shrouded away in North Miami lies an intimate coffee and bar oasis that experiments with specialty drinks, homemade pastries, and regular community events over the weekend — and now, including Mondays.

The restaurant nook, Four, takes the place of beloved former community spot Paradis Books & Bread. Four’s team includes Blk Brw (“Black Brew”), a collective of Black baristas and coffee businesspeople who aim to make coffee accessible and enjoyable for all, regardless of background or experience.

This isn’t an ordinary cup of joe and an ordinary team of baristas. Whether it’s inclusive drink-making workshops or creative community events, Blk Brw’s mission to remove the guardrails around artisanal coffee is driven by the shared and lived experiences of its team.
