Yum Yum Miami drive-thru ice cream shop infuses sweet treats with java

Let’s be real: it’s hot in SoFlo — not just now, but practically year round — so sometimes hot coffee just isn’t the vibe.

But what do you do if you need a caffeine kick but don’t want something basic? Deco’s checking out a spot in Miami Gardens that’s got the scoop.

You know what they say…

David Harbour (as Jim Hopper): “Mornings are for coffee and contemplation.”

Character in “Stranger Things”: “But chief, she’s…”

David Harbour (as Jim Hopper): “Coffee and contemplation.”

Lauren Graham (as Lorelai Gilmore): “This is a coffee morning.”

Scott Patterson (as Luke Danes): “Every morning for you is a coffee morning.”

Lauren Graham (as Lorelai Gilmore): “This is a jumbo coffee morning. I need coffee in an IV.”

But if you ask Blackpink and Selena Gomez…

Blackpink and Selena Gomez (singing): “Coldest with the kiss, so he call me ice cream. Catch me in the fridge, right where the ice be.”

There’s no need to pick at Yum Yum Miami in Miami Gardens.

Kenneth Branagh (as Miguel, voice): “Both?”

Kevin Kline (as Tulio, voice): “Both.”

Kenneth Branagh and Kevin Kline (as Miguel and Tulio, voices): “Both.”

Kenneth Branagh (as Miguel, voice): “Both is good.”

Because this drive-thru ice cream shop is scooping up the best of both worlds.

Jason Plummer: “Here at Yum Yum, we do a lot of innovative things that not much people are doing. We could blend any of our 20 flavors into a drink, and then we add a double shot of espresso.”

These sweet treats might look like familiar drinks.

Jason Plummer: “It’s between a milkshake and a frap. It’s not as thick as a milkshake, but it’s not as watery as a frappe.”

But…

Jason Plummer: “It’s ice cream. It’s coffee. Put together, happiness.”

One of Yum Yum Miami’s most popular coffee ice cream drinks is the Yum Oreo.

Jason Plummer: “The Yum Oreo is made with cookies and cream ice cream, a little bit of milk, a double shot of espresso, Oreo icing on top, and to top it off, we add a cookie.”

Want something just as tasty and refreshing but a little bit more whimsical? Go for the Sweet Cakes drink.

Jason Plummer: “It’s blended with Crazy Cake ice cream, cake chunks and some milk, and a double shot of espresso. And what people love is that cupcake on top.”

Sounds like a party in your mouth!

Customer: “The drink was really refreshing. It was really good. I would definitely get it again.”
