Female-Owned Ol’ Days Is A Love Letter to Specialty Coffee And Comfort Food
In the heart of Midtown Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Ol’ Days offers all-day comfort food alongside a unique specialty coffee program. The female-owned coffee shop also serves as a community hub by providing catering and event services, along with group workshops.
Stepping into an Ol’ Days location feels like entering a family home. The aroma of coffee brewing from the bar, the warm, attentive staff, and the outdoor spaces evoke a strong sense of community. Inspired by owners Juliana and Martina Fracchia’s childhoods in Argentina and the natural ingredients they use, Ol’ Days’s cozy atmosphere blends rustic and natural textures such as brick and terracotta with lemon vines and signature murals by Argentinian artist Florencia Chedafau.
“We are deeply rooted in family traditions of hospitality and communal dining, as well as in sharing a homemade meal,” says Martina. “Our mission is to provide customers with a space for social interaction beyond work, a laid-back coffee shop and restaurant where they can unwind and enjoy every moment around the artisanal coffee and food we offer.”
On the food side, Ol’ Days pays tribute to the sister’s family matriarchs with an all-day brunch menu of comfort foods. The offerings include traditional Argentinian cheese bread known as Chipas, along with a dish of Cauliflower Heart topped with brie cheese, served over carrot hummus, honey, and pumpkin seeds. The Wagyu burger on brioche with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and secret sauce is also a favorite, along with the flavor-packed vegetarian Buddha Bowl, which combines wild quinoa, adzuki beans, and sautéed spinach in kiwi vinaigrette, accompanied by a roasted hummus duo, goji berries, and cashews.
Ol’ Days’ passion is also showcased in its expertly brewed specialty coffee, reflecting a commitment to quality, fair trade, and ethical sourcing. The Arabica beans sourced from family-owned coffee farms around the world and roasted locally by Miami.Coffee is highlighted in offerings of macchiato, mocha, and cortado, along with teas, infusions, cold-pressed juices, and selections of wine and beer. Almond milk is made in-house daily for offerings like flavored hot and iced lattes and the signature Wow Choco, a hot chocolate with chocolate chips and marshmallows.
“Ol’ Days was established and solidified as a specialty coffee shop, and we are proud of partnering exclusively with producers and distributors committed to quality and responsible sourcing,” says Martina. “We focus on a real coffee experience as well as real food experience and unite the best aspects of all those worlds.”
The beverage program also includes teas, infusions, cold-pressed juices, wine beer, cocktails, and seasonal drinks like Blue Mylk made with BP flowers, coconut water, oat mylk and agave. Ol’ Days’s selection of shareable pastries and sweets includes Lemon Pistachio Cookies and a dairy- and gluten-free almond cake. Other top sellers are Argentinean-style Coconut Dulce de Leche Alfajores, and yogurt Champ-Pancakes, which are filled with banana and topped with coconut flakes.
Ol’Days operates an on-site boutique market offering a line of homemade products, including granola and coffee served at the restaurant. The products are packaged in recyclable, eco-friendly, and reusable materials.
