Caracas Bakery has made a name for itself by appearing where you least expect it. The beloved Venezuelan bakery — known for its cachitos that inspire line-worthy devotion, laminated croissants, and hefty sandwiches — has spent the past year popping up in Miami with a series of pop-ups that always seem to vanish too quickly.
Its latest one, however, is sticking around. After a test run during Art Basel, Caracas Bakery has decided to extend its Sunset Harbour pop-up indefinitely, and it might be its coolest location yet.

The setup is unlike any of their other locations. This iteration operates out of Le Basilic, a restaurant that no longer opens during the day and now functions as a bar at night. That means Caracas Bakery gets the run of the space every Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. until sellout, which usually hits by mid-afternoon.
The menu currently features a selection of pastries, sandwiches, coffee, and fresh juices. However, plans are underway to take over the venue’s kitchen, allowing the team to introduce its full breakfast lineup, which includes scrambled eggs, toast, and hot sandwiches.

Comfy Outdoor Seating Makes This a Lovely Bakery Outing
What makes this pop-up especially notable is the ample space to truly enjoy it. Seating has always been Caracas Bakery’s Achilles’ heel. The Coral Gables shop is famously compact, offering little more than a counter and a few precious spots. MiMo has more space, but weekend tables remain a competitive sport. At Sunset Harbour, guests can spread out across an open-air patio filled with couches, greenery, and shade, the kind of lush setup that invites lingering. It’s pet-friendly, stroller-friendly, and comfortable enough to work from, a rarity for a bakery known primarily for grab-and-go foot traffic.
The neighborhood already has strong bakery representation with True Loaf and Maman, but Caracas Bakery brings a devoted following of its own. For many locals, the idea of snagging a cachito without hunting for a table feels like a small luxury. Whether you want a slow breakfast, a sunny spot to camp out for a few hours, or just a relaxed place to meet friends, this extended pop-up gives Sunset Harbour something it didn’t know it was missing. Open Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. until they sell out — for now.
Caracas Bakery at Le Basilic is open every Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. until they sell out.
