Best French Bakery 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."

"Located a few blocks north of Miracle Mile in Coral Gables is Gusto Fino Italian Deli Café, is one of my favorite sandwich shops in the city. Serving a variety of classic Italian dishes and hot and cold sandwiches, the casual café, also offers a limited beer and wine list, as well as a breakfast menu. You’ll find delicious offerings like a classic New York Reuben sandwich or a hot pastrami sub."

"A true hidden gem among local coffee houses, Lemoni Cafe serves up a range of classic panini and creative salads. It's their hot and cold coffee and tea selection, however, that keeps locals and vacationers alike coming back. On the menu, you'll find everything from Cuban cortaditos to macchiatos, iced lattes, and espresso shots."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Coral Gables. This South Miami neighborhood spot is a mainstay for traditional, no-fuss ice cream. Servings are cheap, cookies are freshly baked and the staff—made up of mostly teens and kids from the area—are cheery and eager to let you try whatever is in the freezer."

"Started in 1985, Whip ‘N Dip ranks as a long-time staple among the best Miami ice cream shops. Using locally sourced ingredients from partner suppliers, they make new flavors daily. Some must-trys include banana nut chip, heath bar brownie and chocolate-covered almond."

"This family owned ice cream shop is just off Sunset and has the best ice cream in Miami. Bold statement, I know, but I speak the truth. And, they don’t just stop at ice cream, their cookie cups happen to be the greatest of all time."

"Unsurprisingly for a city known as the “Gateway to Latin America,” there are plenty of cheap eats in Miami inspired by street food in countries like Cuba, Venezuela, and Colombia. One must-try: empanadas. You can find HalfMoon Empanadas’ artisanal Argentinian-inspired empanadas in a few spots around town, the most convenient sitting just east of the MIMO District."

"1933-1945 Meridian AvenueMiami Beach, FL 33139(305) 538-1663. The Holocaust Memorial in Miami Beach was opened in 1990 with Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Weisel as the guest speaker. The memorial is also built in the former home of Holocaust survivors who immigrated to the States."

"Formerly known as the American Airlines Arena, the FTX Arena is home to the Miami Heat basketball team as well as serving as a venue for various shows and events.

Located along Biscayne Bay with easy access thanks to public transportation, everyone in the family will enjoy a visit to this famous spot."

"The 3,400 square-foot oceanfront basketball arena is the home court of the NBA’s Miami Heat. The 19,00 capacity arena has been awarded the Leed Green Building certification for being an energy-efficient building. When there isn’t an exciting basketball game, the American Airlines Arena hosts more than 80 music and other events, including WWE Smackdown."

"Tucked away in West Flagler Salmon y Salmon, is a local Peruvian gem you most certainly won’t find in a tourist guide. It’s a cozy (less than ten tables), mom and pop style space with laid-back ambiance and décor, with a curb appeal leaving much to be desired. Service is extremely attentive, wait staff treating you as typical Latin abuelas (grandmas) do, making sure you’re well-fed and taken care of."

"Miami may feel like a party all the time, but there are plenty of museums and institutions around to give the kids a bit of education on your trip. The HistoryMiami Museum is the largest history museum in Florida and is conveniently located in downtown Miami — and it is definitely worth checking out. This Smithsonian Affiliate is home to some great local exhibits including the “Miami International Airport: A Hub for History,” “Tropical Dream: A People’s History of South Florida,” and more."

"This museum offers an array of exhibitions on South Florida's history, with Family Fun Days (think crafts, music, and storytelling) on the second Saturday of each month. But older kids will also like the off-site historical tours, including art walks of Miami neighborhoods, cruises of North Biscayne Bay, or even a "moon cruise" on the Miami River."

"HistoryMiami Museum, formerly known as the Historical Museum of Southern Florida, was founded in 1940 and is the largest history museum in the state of Florida. The museum offers the community, its residents and visitors meaningful ways to connect with the rich past as well as the ever-evolving future of the region and its diverse inhabitants."

"The Pérez can claim fine rotating exhibits that concentrate on post-WWII international art, but just as impressive are its location and exterior. This art institution inaugurated Museum Park, a patch of land that oversees the broad blue swath of Biscayne Bay. Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron designed the structure, which integrates tropical foliage, glass and metal – a melding of tropical vitality and fresh modernism that is a nice architectural analogy for Miami itself."

"Miami is known for its art, and this collection of contemporary works, Miami’s flagship art museum, is a must-visit. In addition to its rotating exhibits, the museum is home to the Caribbean Cultural Institute, which promotes the arts and culture of the Caribbean. 1103 Biscayne Blvd, Miami | 305.375.5662 l Distance from Hotel: 5.6 miles"
