Brewing Buddha

Brothers Cassidy and Jordan Athos are turning out some of Miami-Dade County’s most interesting coffees in a Pinecrest shopping center. Think of flavors such as pistachio, lavender and smoky s’mores.

“We’ve been called mad scientists of coffee,” Cassidy Athos says. The brothers’ Brewing Buddha also churns out sweet plantain lattes, coconut cupcake cappuccinos and black coconut coffee infused with activated charcoal. brewingbuddha.com

Private Dining at Shooters

Shooters Waterfront, which a few years ago transformed its bar, dining and outdoor spaces, is getting further and further away from its wild past with an elegant private dining space. The 6,000-square-foot upstairs room overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway can host as many as 175 people. The space features more than 25 hanging “molten spider” glass lighting fixtures and floor-to-ceiling windows. Shooters also has added 16- and 24-seat conference rooms. shooterswaterfront.com

The Highclere Smoke

Get in the mood for the “Downton Abbey” exhibition with Highclere Castle Cigars, which were developed in collaboration with the eighth Earl of Carnarvon, owner of the setting for the PBS series. The cigars are hand-rolled in Estelí, Nicaragua, and have a Connecticut-shade wrapper and Criollo and Corojo tobaccos from the volcanic soils of Jalapa, Guatemala, and the island of Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua. The cigars are $217 to $290 for a box of 20. foundationcigarcompany.com
