Misha’s Cupcakes will be making their return with a brand new look, new menu, and at a new, yet familiar location to South Floridians when Miami’s longtime favorite cupcake shop will open their doors at the old Swensen’s location later this month.
Misha’s Cupcakes will officially make their grand opening on December 21st at 1586 S. Dixie Hwy. in Coral Gables but fans are already stopping by the new spot.
“We tried to keep a little bit of Swensen’s in there since there’s so many wonderful memories from the community,” Misha Kuryla, the store’s founder, said, during an interview with Miami New Times.
“We kind of gave it a little sprinkle, it’s very different but it’s very pretty. I want to be able to concentrate more on the experience that people have when they walk in, this location will have that bakery feeling, you’ll see the decorators decorating the cupcakes and the cakes, and you’ll smell the cupcakes baking. There’s that special warmth, and you’ll connect that smell, that experience, and that Swensen’s memory, to Misha’s Cupcakes.”
Kuryla has plans to expand the business and is looking for new locations for her cupcake vending machines, which are now available at Miami International Airport and Merrick Park as well as in stores such as Whole Foods and Milan’s Market.
Soon, they will be available in Walmart as well.
“It’s expanding in a different way,” Kuryla said. “In a way that’s more like a conscious decision, because before I couldn’t wait to conquer and have tons of stores. Now, I realize I can get our product to many more people wholesale while still providing this wonderful and cozy feeling inside our stores, and really cultivate that, rather than just trying to put ourselves all over the map in brick-and-mortar locations.”
