“Dancing with the Stars” pros Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov are making moves out of the ballroom.<\/p>\n
The married couple, fan favorites on the ABC reality competition, just opened a fancy little caf\u00e9 on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, Sulta Rosa. The concept? “A luxury dessert experience inspired by global flavors.”<\/p>\n
Karagach, 33, and Pashkov, 40 \u2014 parents of a 3-year-old daughter \u2014 traveled to a number of cities around the world for their dance competitions over the years. They especially gelled with sophisticated streetside caf\u00e9s in European cities like Paris, which have a more relaxed, people-watching vibe than your average suburban Starbucks.<\/p>\n
“Whether you’re visiting Miami and need a break from the heat with an iced coffee and something sweet, or you’re a local looking for somewhere to work, read, or simply unwind, we wanted to create a space people could return to again and again,” Pashkov recently told Forbes<\/a>, adding the location is key. “It’s one of the most iconic, walkable destinations in Miami Beach, and as parents, we loved how family-friendly and welcoming it feels. We knew it was the right place to bring the concept to life.”<\/p>\n Besides killer croissants, the menu also offers an “internationally curated” selection of artisanal baklava, handcrafted gelato and freshly baked cookies.<\/p>\n Specialty of the house? Angel Delights, a Middle Eastern treat made with Sicilian pistachios, rosewater, wildflower honey and pure fruit extract, topped with powdered sugar.<\/p>\n “Every piece is a small celebration,” reads the description on the website. “A moment where flavor, craft, and beauty come together in a single, perfect bite.”<\/p>\n Karagach, a NYC native, and Pashkov, from Russia, were on hand for a meet and greet at the grand opening last week. The Angelenos won’t be running day to day operations but will be on site frequently, we are told.<\/p>\n “We freaking did it ….It was so fun spending time with you all. Thank you to everyone who came and supported in person and from afar,” the foodies wrote in a joint post. “We love you guys and are on cloud nine.”<\/p>\n SULTA ROSA<\/p>\n Where: 821 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach.<\/p>\n Hours: 10 a.m to 11 p.m. daily.<\/p>\n
