XO Espresso Bar

A house-roasting espresso counter inside Lincoln Eatery, the food hall one block off Lincoln Road in South Beach.

Checked October 2026

For anyone near Lincoln Road who wants real espresso instead of a chain cup. The trade-off: it's a counter in a food hall, easy to miss and closed by 5 pm.

Finding the counter

XO sits inside Lincoln Eatery, the food hall on Lincoln Lane North, one block behind Lincoln Road. That's the whole catch: there's no storefront, and even fans quoted on its own site admit it's hard to find. Walk in and look for the espresso counter among the food stalls. Once you're there, it's a proper coffee bar, with drinks served in real cups and glasses rather than paper. Hours are 8 am to 5 pm every day, so treat it as a morning or early-afternoon stop, not an after-dinner one. Seating is the food hall's, which keeps things casual.

What to order

The house coffee is the ICON, a medium roast single origin from the Aproccor cooperative in Copán, Honduras, roasted in-house on an electric Bellwether roaster. It's built for milk, with toffee, praline and chocolate notes, so a cappuccino or latte is the fair test. The sweeter signature drinks get the most mentions in reviews: a tiramisu latte and a pink salted caramel iced latte. There's matcha, chai and macadamia milk too. Add a baked good; reviewers single out the chocolate chip cookie and the brownie. Prices sit at the single-dollar-sign level, which is rare this close to Lincoln Road.

Beans to take home

Bags of the ICON cost $20 on the shop's site, in whole bean or ground for espresso, drip or pour over, and a subscription takes 10% off every order. The listing notes a prep time of about one business day, so don't count on an online bean order being ready the same morning. There's merch too, oversized tees at $35, if you want the logo. The rating holds at 4.6 from about 560 Google reviews, and the praise keeps naming the baristas, which tells you this is a small shop where regulars get remembered.

Getting there

1. Head into Lincoln Eatery on Lincoln Lane North and look for the espresso counter inside; there's no street-facing sign to spot.
