Amazing Bakeries in Miami

Greater Miami and Miami Beach is home to a rich mix of cultures and flavors, and this is especially true of our bakeries. Whether they’re serving decadent Cuban cakes, pretty French pastries, kosher confections or sourdough delights, the best bake shops in Miami can stand up to greats from around the world. Life is sweet when you can savor Venezuelan cachitos, Middle Eastern bourekas, Italian focaccia and Cuban pastelitos all in the same day – sometimes, even in the same neighborhood. Ready to indulge? Here’s where to find the best Miami bakery for every craving and occasion.

Pinecrest Bakery

Where can you find Cuban desserts and pastries 24 hours a day in Miami? Pinecrest Bakery, of course. Fresh pastelitos, empanadas (including Colombian and Spanish flavors) and croquetas star, along with tequeños, cachitos, media noche sandwiches and a full breakfast menu. Pair every item with Cuban coffee – cafecito, cortadito, cafe con leche and more – and don’t skip the flan. Beyond the Pinecrest original, find more than 20 locations, including Downtown Miami, Coconut Grove, Cutler Bay and Coral Gables.

Zak the Baker

For more than a decade, Zak the Baker has solidified itself as an artisanal institution in Wynwood, famous for its sourdough breads, pastries and baked goods, earning it honors from the James Beard Foundation and the MICHELIN Guide. The kosher bakery is also known for its Jewish staples like challah and rugelach, and pastries like vegan banana bread and guava and cheese pastelitos (a Miami classic).  

Vicky Bakery

A longtime local favorite, Vicky Bakery has made a name for itself by landing at the top of every visitor’s Cuban foodie to-do list. Originally founded in Hialeah in 1972, the family-owned bakery is best known for its classic Cuban bread, croquetas, pastelitos and birthday cakes. From Homestead to Coral Gables, Miami Gardens and beyond, there are now 30 locations across Florida.

Rosetta Bakery

If you love the flavors of Italy (who doesn’t?), put Rosetta Bakery on your radar. With locations in Brickell, Miami Central Station, Miami Beach and Aventura Mall, Rosetta calls to mind rustic countryside villas, offering up-close views of the bakers in action. Find some of the best focaccia, pizza and sandwiches in town, plus excellent dolci including signature croissants, the famed filled Bambolone, mini cakes, beautifully layered Millefoglie cakes and more.

Bachour

Like stepping into an art gallery, any visit to Bachour is sure to dazzle. This is, hands down, one of the best French bakeries in Miami, where each intricate dessert, baked good and confection looks almost too beautiful to eat. Of course, eating them is the whole point – and we’re happy to report that these pieces of edible art are incredibly delicious, too. You might opt to have a full meal here (the Bachour restaurant serves contemporary fusion), just be sure to leave room for stunning petits gateaux, macarons and bonbons for dessert. 

Caracas Bakery

Helmed by Manuel and Jesús Brazón, a father-and-son duo, Caracas Bakery blends the flavors of their Venezuelan homeland with French techniques (think cachitos, ham and cheese-stuffed bread rolls, pain au chocolat, Venezuelan baguettes and campesino loaves). With locations in Doral (the original), the Upper East Side and Coral Gables, Caracas is a must-visit whether you’re stopping in for pastries, sourdough or a full breakfast. Don’t be surprised to find these award-winning baked goods on the menu at various restaurants and events around town, too.

Bobe Kitchen and Bakery

Serving up from-scratch, healthy comfort food for breakfast, brunch and lunch, Bobe Kitchen & Bakery in Downtown Miami is all about feeling good from the inside out.

Heartier dishes include focaccia caprese, chicken shawarma and smoked turkey and pesto sandwiches, plus knishes, quiches, salads and bowls. The coffee menu is extensive: go classic or try a barista special, like the pistachio matcha latte or black sesame latte, to complement freshly baked babka, baklava, cookies, croissants and danishes. 

Casa Nané

“From cookies to brunch all day” is the motto at Ecuador-born Casa Nané in Brickell, so feel free to sleep in all you want before heading here to enjoy a signature iced latte (Dubai, strawberry matcha and taro are house favorites) paired with an egg scramble, sando, omelette, smoked salmon bagel and more. Of course, you can’t leave without ordering a few of the famed cookies. Flavors like dark chocolate chunk with salt flakes, Dubai chocolate, pistachio, s’mores, brownie crinkle and Argentine Alfajor dulce de leche are always in rotation.

La Boulangerie Boul'Mich

Combining French technique and Latin American flavor, La Boulangerie Boul’Mich has been baking up goodness for more than 20 years, starting from its original Key Biscayne flagship and expanding to Coral Way, Pinecrest, Doral, Aventura and beyond. Various quiches and a dozen croissants grace the menu (almond and guava and cheese are two popular options), along with several empanadas (ham and cheese is more traditional, while Spanish chorizo and caramelized onion is more inventive). Brunch lovers will enjoy options like shakshuka, Benedicts, scrambles, French toast and more. 

Versailles Bakery

A landmark on Little Havana's Calle Ocho since the 1970s, Versailles Restaurant is synonymous with authentic Cuban food in Miami.

Sesame Bakery

When the team from Miami’s incredibly popular Israeli restaurant Motek launched Sesame Bakery in North Miami, longtime fans rejoiced at the chance to try out more than just fresh-baked pita bread. A French boulangerie infused with Mediterranean spice, Sesame serves up red and green shakshuka with signature sourdough, zucchini latkes, tuna melts constructed on baguettes and bagels with labneh schmear. Not to mention an array of croissants, savory bourekas and decadent cinnamon buns. A more centrally located Midtown location is also forthcoming.
