305 Day (from 305, the Miami area code)

“305” is the telephone area code of Miami (South Florida), and on March 5th (3/05), “305 Day” is celebrated—especially at 3:05 p.m. “305 Miami’s Areacode” was entered in the Urban Dictionary on September 16, 2003. “305 Day” was entered in the Urban Dictionary on March 5, 2014, stating:
   
“It became the official day to have a shot of cuban coffee known as ‘Cafesito’ at 3:05pm by the City of Miami. #Cafesito305.” (Usually spelled “cafecito.”—ed.)

WHO IS 3:05 CAFECITO?
We are Miami’s Official Cafecito Break!
 
Miami-based public relations agency, JLPR, embarked on the ambitious task to make 3:05 the official time for cafecito of Miami-Dade County in April of 2012. After a year of rapid growth and lots of cafecito, the City of Miami presented JennyLee Molina with a proclamation honoring 3:05 as Miami’s official cafecito time! The Magic City is the only city in the U.S. with an official coffee break.
 
The idea came about to unify the Cuban coffee culture and create an on-line community of devotees who enjoy sharing their mutual love for Miami’s nectar through social media media. At 3:05, Miami pauses to stop and smell the cafecito.

3:05 Becomes Official Cafecito Time in Miami
Published April 26, 2013 • Updated on April 27, 2013 at 1:07 pm
(...)
“We run on Miami’s sweet nectar, 3:05 Cafecito,” said JennyLee Molina, Chief Creative Officer at JLPR. A quick chat with Molina shows just how deep the cafecito culture runs in Miami:
 
How exactly did the 3:05 cafecito break idea come to fruition?
 
The idea came to me on April 3rd, 2012. I had a meeting with Amin De Jesus, Suenalo’s MC who is also one of my go-to creatives and just as 305-centric as I am. After lunching on Lincoln Road, we walked over to David’s Cafe on Meridian (RIP) and ordered a cafecito. When I looked at the time, it was exactly 3:05 and the light bulb went off! I took a picture of my Miami nectar and tweeted it with #305cafecito and proclaimed 3:05 as Miami’s new official cafecito break

How does Miami celebrate 305 Day? A block party, cafecito and a gator in a caja china
BY MADELEINE MARR
MARCH 02, 2020 06:00 AM
(...)
305 Day was created by the founders of 3:05 Cafecito, who worked diligently to make the time on the clock the “official” cafecito break in the Magic City.
 
“The idea came about to unify the Cuban coffee culture and create an on-line community of devotees who enjoy sharing their mutual love for Miami’s nectar through social media,” said founder JennyLee Molina. “At 3:05, Miami pauses to stop and smell the cafecito.”
   
The first celebration was held at the iconic Cafe Versailles on March 5, 2013, as a “little ventanita event,” say organizers. It has since grown to this huge, raucous block party with about 8,000 attendees.
