The farm stand that became a Florida institution

Robert Is Here started in 1959 when six-year-old Robert Moehling set up a roadside stand in Homestead, Florida, to sell cucumbers his father grew. The stand never left. Over the next six decades it grew from a produce table into a full-scale fruit market, milkshake bar, and farm stand selling dozens of tropical fruits most Americans have never encountered — mamey sapote, guanabana, jackfruit, black sapote, canistel, carambola — plus jams, honey, and fresh Florida vegetables.

Today Robert Is Here is one of the most famous farm stands in the United States and a landmark stop for anyone driving to the Florida Keys or Everglades National Park. It was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and has been written up in national travel media for decades. The milkshakes — particularly the mamey — are genuinely unlike anything else in the country.

The stand is located at 19200 SW 344th Street in Homestead, FL, in the middle of Miami-Dade County's Redland agricultural district. It closes for approximately two months in summer (typically July and August). Confirm current hours at robertishere.com.

The milkshakes

Robert Is Here milkshake flavors — the full exotic tropical lineup

The milkshakes at Robert Is Here are the main attraction. Each is made with real fruit — the selection changes with the season and with whatever is ripe. The list below covers the most common flavors; confirm the current board when you arrive.

Signature · Most popular

Mamey Milkshake

Mamey sapote blended with ice cream — sweet and rich with flavors of almond, vanilla, sweet potato, and pumpkin. Salmon-colored, impossibly creamy, and the single most-ordered item at the stand. If you visit Robert Is Here and order only one thing, this is it.

Tropical · Tangy

Guanabana (Soursop) Milkshake

Soursop has a distinctive creamy-tart flavor — citrusy but tropical, with notes of strawberry and pineapple. Blended into a milkshake it becomes rich and satisfying. One of the most popular exotic flavors after mamey.

Exotic · Sweet

Black Sapote Milkshake

The "chocolate pudding fruit" — black sapote flesh is dark brown, soft, and tastes naturally rich and chocolatey without any cocoa. The shake is a revelation for visitors who've never encountered it. Deeply unusual and genuinely delicious.

Florida classic

Key Lime Milkshake

Florida Keys key lime — tart, citrusy, bright — blended into a creamy shake. A proper Florida road-trip ritual. The tart-sweet balance is perfect for cutting through the South Florida heat.

Seasonal · Rare

Canistel (Egg Fruit) Milkshake

Canistel flesh is dry, starchy, and custard-sweet — like a very rich baked sweet potato crossed with a hard-boiled egg yolk. It sounds odd, but the shake is thick and filling and beloved by regulars. One of the harder flavors to find anywhere else.

Tropical · Refreshing

Coconut Milkshake

Fresh coconut blended with ice cream. Rich, tropical, and cooling — one of the most crowd-pleasing flavors for visitors who want something delicious but approachable. Especially good on a hot summer day, though the stand is typically closed in peak summer.
