Jessica's Local Take

That Biscoff coffee? So good. And the signature avocado toast with its house sauce? A 100/10 for me. Don't skip the homemade flan, tres leches, or arroz con leche.

Behind the Buzz · Isla Café

A little coffee. A lot to love.

When I visited Isla Café in Cutler Bay, the coffee, food, and welcoming space made an impression. Catherine and Alejandro have created a neighborhood spot worth getting to know.

My favorites? The Biscoff coffee and signature avocado toast with that house sauce. And there are homemade sweets to explore, too. If you've visited, I'd love to know what you ordered.

The neighbor behind the buzz

Hi, I'm Jessica.
Let's talk local.

The Bay Buzz is my corner of Cutler Bay and Palmetto Bay—a place to celebrate local eats, events, businesses, and the people who make our community special.

I'm raising my family in the community I grew up loving. Think of this as a friendly nudge to try somewhere new, meet a neighbor, and discover what's buzzing around the Bay.
