Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Miami Beach

"This family-owned doughnut shop in Wynwood is not your average dessert place and that’s a good thing. Doughnut flavors here change seasonally and all of the family’s yeast-raised doughnuts use a 24-hour brioche recipe (think butter, flaky bread and more butter). The Salty Donut serves cake doughnuts too, which are crunchy on the outside, and moist on the inside."

"Forget everything you think you know about coffee and donuts. The Salty Donut, with multiple locations, serves up some of the most innovative donuts and coffee in Miami. The family-owned Salty Donut focuses on artisanal donuts made in small-batches and 100% from-scratch."

"If you’re in the mood for a fresh loaf of bread, Zak the Baker loaves can be found fresh throughout several Whole Foods locations in Miami. However, if you want to visit the café for a delicious sit-down meal, you have to visit the Zak the Baker (kosher) café in Wynwood. Menu items include ricotta, orange curd, and lemongrass sweet toast, hot and fresh tuna melts, soups of the day, and pastries to take home."

"We hate to break it to you, but you haven’t had bread until you’ve eaten a slice of deliciousness from Zak the Baker. Luckily, this dough is served in dozens of restaurants, available for purchase at Whole Foods and always in stock at the flagship bakery in Wynwood. Plus, the bakery offers a spate of other freshly baked goods like chocolate babka, croissants, cookies and cinnamon rolls."

"The popular kosher baker, who’s bread can be found all over town in grocery stores and restaurants, also boasts his own successful standalone shop. Expect not only his signature breads, but also an assortment of soups, bagels, sandwiches, and pastries during the day, along with falafel pop-up in the evenings."

"When it comes to pies, the first name that usually comes to mind in Miami is Fireman Derek’s. It proudly calls itself “Miami’s original pie shop,” and it’s earned a huge following with its larger-than-life creations, served whole or by the slice. Flavors range from salted caramel to guava berry, though we’re partial to cookie monster and the brownie bomb."

"At his Coral Gables shop, pastry master Antonio Bachor's dazzling interpretation of one of the world's most beloved cakes is nearly irresistible. His elegant dark chocolate mousse, combining dark chocolate and vanilla bean cremeux, offers a perfect balance in flavor and texture through a scrumptious, creamy interior encased in a thin yet rich chocolate shell. Priced at $55, it serves 12 people."

"Besides serving expert-level breakfast, lunch and brunch fare, pastry mastermind Antonio Bachour specializes in downright gorgeous and delicious pastries at Bachour Bakery, which includes outposts in Doral, Miami Beach and Coral Gables. No matter which location you visit, the sweets selection will likely be too pretty to eat. But don’t let that stop you—just look at how tasty everything looks."

"Chef Antonio Bachour grew up in Puerto Rico, so he knows a thing or two about Cuban coffee in Miami. Thanks to working in his family’s bakery as a child, he was hooked on pastry at a young age. Everyone knows that a good cup of coffee goes perfectly with the flakiest, puffiest pastry."
