We all love  Will Smith , so when we hear that there is something that we can do to be more like Big Will — well, we jump at the chance. The Está Rico singer told HOLA! USA on the ‘blue’ carpet for the Miami premiere of his new film with Martin Lawrence  Bad Boys for Life, that the one thing he needs to do when he’s in Miami is have some delicious and energizing Cuban coffee.

Something that was most likely influenced by the location of the film and some of his Latinx co-stars like Puerto Rican reggaetonero turned actor  Nicky Jam  and Mexican beauty Paola Nuñez. Will shared that working with them “was fantastic. The Latin flavor in Bad Boys for Life is on 10.

Will was also able to work practice his Spanish a little bit, revealing “Bueno, hablo un poquito, necesito practicar mas.” Something we are sure he was able to do with Nicky, Paola and Mexican acting royalty Kate del Castillo.

In honor of his love for the “perfect” cup of Miami coffee, we’ve gathered the top five places you can get your caffeine fix just like Will.

Versailles Restaurant

Located in the historic Little Havanna neighborhood in Miami, Versailles is the place everyone thinks about when they think cafecito Cubano.

You have the option of dining in and having some delectable Cuban cuisine as a small starter to your café, or you can chat up some of the viejitos at the ventanita (another Miami institution) with your cortadito and croqueta in hand.
