Begin your day bright and early at Panther Coffee (2390 NW 2nd Ave), a local roastery known for its rich brews and laid-back café atmosphere. Grab a cortado or pour-over and pair it with a freshly baked pastry. It’s a great intro to the best things Wynwood has to offer. You’ll feel the neighborhood pulse with every sip. Panter Coffee opens at 7 am Monday through Sunday, so how early you start is up to you!
And keep your eyes peeled for street art as you go. While there are specific places for viewing stunning murals (more on that below), you can stumble on outstanding works by talented artists all over Wynwood, so always be on the lookout!
Don’t forget your camera when you set out in the morning. Wynwood’s walls are more than just art — they’re an ongoing conversation between artists, the neighbourhood, and the world.
There will be more murals to come. For now, let’s step inside one of Wynwood’s smaller galleries to experience the art scene up close. Oliver Cole Gallery (2510 NW 2nd Ave) specialises in colorful contemporary pieces, while Waltman Ortega Fine Art (something of a neighbourhood gem) highlights cutting-edge modern works with frequent guest exhibitions.
These smaller galleries paint a richer picture of Wynwood’s creative community, allowing you to immerse yourself in a more meaningful experience. Gallery owners, gallerists, and sometimes even artists are around to chat, giving you a chance to discover the displayed works on a deeper level, without the noise of bigger, tourist-heavy museums.
