Miami’s favorite Venezuelan sourdough spot has finally made its Miami Beach debut permanent. Caracas Bakery has just opened its doors inside Harbour Club in Sunset Harbor. The partnership brings the bakery’s popular Venezuelan-inspired baked goods to the ground floor of the members-only social club.
The new spot, founded by James Beard-nominated bakers, is open during the day when the club’s upstairs restaurant, a’Riva, is closed.
At the new digs, guests can expect a relaxed, ground-floor café experience that is open to the general public. However, Harbour Club members will still maintain exclusive access to the menu from the club’s second floor throughout the day.

Morning Favorites and Casa Caracas for Lunch
In the mornings, diners can expect the full lineup of staples that built the bakery’s following at its MiMo location. This includes their sourdough-based breakfast sandwiches, frittatas, yogurt bowls, and a variety of toasts topped with avocado, salmon, or mushrooms.
At midday, the space transitions into Casa Caracas. This is the brand’s new lunch operation that swaps pastries for heavier, wood-grilled proteins and a new cocktail program.
The kitchen will be turning out hearty plates for lunch. Some include a piri piri half chicken marinated in fermented Calabrian pepper and prawns sautéed in garlic and lemon. Other highlights include a hanger steak served with guasacaca or harissa aioli. Oh, and not to mention the “Massimo Bisanzio” cold pasta tossed with cherry tomatoes, basil, and pine nuts.
The afternoon lineup is rounded out by seasonal sides, salads, and desserts like affogato and rich chocolate mousse.

A Neighborhood Anchor
For Brazón and his family, the Sunset Harbour expansion is about more than just scaling the business. “From day one, Caracas Bakery was never just about bread – it’s about building a place people feel part of,” says Jesús Brazon, founder of Caracas Bakery. “For me, Harbour Club just made sense right away. Opening here, and bringing Casa Caracas into it, lets us grow without losing what we are – while being part of a neighborhood we’ve always respected.”
The move follows a broader citywide trend of successful independent brands partnering with larger venues to share the burden of Miami’s rising overhead costs.
But for Sunset Harbour residents, it means one of the city’s best bakeries is now within walking distance.
