Black Sheep Coffee, the international coffee brand known for its 100% specialty-grade Robusta coffee and growing U.S. footprint, has signed a new multi-unit development agreement to expand across Miami Beach. The deal reinforces South Florida as a priority market and builds on the brand’s early momentum in the region.
The agreement will deliver a minimum of six locations across Miami Beach over the next five years, complementing Black Sheep Coffee’s existing Miami store — its first in Florida — in Coconut Grove. The portfolio is expected to include a mix of drive-thru, end-cap, and in-line locations tailored to the area’s high-traffic, lifestyle-driven environment.
Miami continues to stand out as a natural fit for the brand, combining strong population growth, a vibrant hospitality scene, and a consumer base that responds to differentiated coffee concepts. This agreement reflects Black Sheep Coffee’s broader strategy of expanding in high-growth U.S. markets with experienced operators who understand the local landscape.
“Miami is one of the most exciting cities in the world right now. It’s fast-moving, creative, and full of people who are open to trying something new, which is exactly what Black Sheep is about,” said Eirik Holth, co-founder of Black Sheep Coffee. “Gabe and I live here, so building the brand in a city we’re part of makes it even more meaningful. The energy, the diversity, the pace of growth, it all aligns perfectly with how we think about coffee and community, and we’re just getting started.”
The Miami Beach development sits alongside continued expansion across Texas and Florida, with additional stores planned for this year.
“Miami is an important market for us as we continue to build our presence in the United States. These new locations will complement our existing footprint in Coconut Grove’s Grove Central, as well as our upcoming opening in Doral,” said Lewis Blakey, Head of Franchising at Black Sheep Coffee. “This partnership allows us to grow with intention while introducing more communities to what makes Black Sheep Coffee distinct.”
Black Sheep Coffee launched in 2013 with a focus on challenging traditional coffee norms, building its reputation around specialty-grade Robusta beans that deliver a bold flavor profile, smooth finish, and naturally higher caffeine. The brand has since grown to more than 140 locations worldwide across the U.K., Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States.
