Heat star Jimmy Butler is fulfilling his dream of running a coffee shop when he opens BigFace in the Design District.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler will open a Bigface coffee shop in the Design District this fall.

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has a bunch of nicknames, including “Jimmy Buckets,” “Playoff Jimmy,” and simply “Buckets.” But come this September, the basketball pro can officially add one more nickname to the lineup: “Java Jimmy.”Or maybe “Barista Butler.”

In a recent interview with GQ, Butler shared that he’ll fulfill his lifelong dream of opening a coffee shop with the first brick-and-mortar location of his coffee company, Bigface, in Miami’s Design District in September.Those unaware that Butler is a coffee connoisseur might be surprised to learn that the six-time NBA All-Star is known to consume upward of ten cappuccinos per day, according to GQ — even in the Miami heat! (Does that make him “Buzzed Butler”?)

During the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020, Jimmy Butler began brewing coffee with a French press and selling it to his teammates for $20 a cup. This side hustle soon evolved into Bigface, offering single and blended-origin coffees from Kenya, Colombia, and other coffee-producing nations.

Today, Bigface has grown into a full-time coffee roaster and clothing brand, complete with a Bigface coffee truck.

Butler reassures fans that he has no plans to retire anytime soon, but he is excited to focus on his brand. Since launching Bigface in 2021, Butler has secured significant foodie collaborations, including one with the Salty Donut in April.

For those wondering if Butler will serve coffee himself, the answer is yes. He told GQ he plans to work a few shifts as a barista at the Bigface shop.
