There are more than 100 flavors, from originals like the Abuela Maria, which has a vanilla base mixed with guava, cream cheese, and crispy galletas, to classics like chocolate.

15 Best Things to Do in Homestead (Florida
"Located just off South Dixie Highway in Homestead, the Coral Castle Museum is a unique outdoor attraction that was built by a local man entirely from local limestone. It’s still a mystery how he moved and manipulated the massive limestone blocks used in the castle’s construction; some have suggested he may have had extraterrestrial help. Though the verdict is still out on that claim, there’s no doubt that it’s a popular attraction with children and adults alike, and it’s one of those one-of-a-kind Florida attractions that you won’t see elsewhere."

It is said that the 1,100-ton coral rock castle was built single-handedly by a man who lost his love. The structure alludes to mysteries like that of Stonehenge."

The Sweetest Donut Shops in Miami
"Call it like it is—this was one of the first donut shops to break the mold of the typical glazed donuts in South Florida. Mojo Donuts opened in Pembroke Pines in 2013, just as the donut trend was sweeping the nation, and their large-and-in-charge gourmet donuts stuffed with anything you can think of quickly grabbed attention. (People would often drive from as far away as the Florida Keys to get their hands on the donuts.) With two locations in Miami’s Westchester area and Pembroke Pines, along with a food truck at The Wharf, Mojo offers yeast and cake doughnuts in a dizzying array of choices, which means you’ll want a box to sample them all."

Where to Find the Best Doughnuts in Miami
"With locations in both Miami and Pembroke Pines, Mojo offers the perfect pairing in two area codes and aren’t we lucky. This award-winning shop regularly sells out and it’s no wonder; each doughnut here is its own extravagant work of art. A a dozen of their gourmet doughnuts will put you back $27, but it’s worth every penny."
