The Weekly Dish is a TRD recurring feature that showcases the latest in South Florida’s restaurant openings, leases and sales.
Panther Coffee | MiMo
Panther Coffee is finally opening in the MiMo District. The roastery plans to open Dec. 7 at 6405 Biscayne Boulevard, more than four years after first announcing the lease. Chariff Realty Group brokered the lease.
In May 2016, developer Alex Karakhanian sold the retail and restaurant building, MiMo Place for $6.7 million to Key Biscayne investors.
The Miami New Times first announced Panther’s opening date.
7 Spices | Lincoln Road
A new Mediterranean restaurant, 7 Spices, has leased space at the former site of Freddo at 610 Lincoln Road in Miami Beach.
7 Spices is owned by the 7 Spices Group, which operates dining spots in Venezuela, according to Altagracia Labrozzi of Fortune International Realty, who represented the tenant, along with Gabriela Salazar.
Labrozzi said the group has signed the lease, and plans to open within three months. The restaurant will be its first in the United States.
Terranova Corp. owns the building, whose tenants include SushiSamba. In October 2016, Terranova sued a company licensed to sell Freddo, a brand of Argentine ice cream, for $1.6 million in outstanding rent.
