Despite the plethora of delicious pastelitos to be found at Miami’s 4,587 Latin bakeries – there are still certain sweet treats only the French have been able to master. Think baguettes and pan au chocolat (chocolate croissant). Le Royal French Bakery is South Miami’s go-to boulangerie/patisserie, with all that you’d expect from a French bakery […]

Lee & Marie’s Cakery Company is situated in a lovely setting, but it lacks an obvious essential: a large-scale oven. The locale relies on an off-site production facility in Wynwood that sends foods to South Beach twice a day. But a sampling of pastries on two occasions revealed a lack of freshness: Baked doughnuts were […]
While flashier Colombian eateries abound — especially the fast-food style joints keeping drunks happily munching on hot dogs — the truly authentic, homey spots are hard to find. That’s why Colombians and fans of Latin cuisine in general make the trek south to Macita’s, on the southern end of South Dixie Highway in Cutler Bay. […]
It’s difficult to say which part of bakery life burrowed deepest into Naomi Harris’ soul. Harris was born in Miami and into the restaurant business: Her father Larry and his brother Stuart founded Miami’s beloved chicken chain Pollo Tropical in 1988. But Harris didn’t plan for a life in restaurants, never mind one of overnight […]

The sweet smell of cakes a-bakin’ tickles your nose way before you step into Mary Ann Bakery, and you’d have to be subhuman to resist the urge to walk into this unassuming little spot tucked away on 163rd Street. The front window is filled with birthday and bridal cakes, and although they look (and probably […]
Admittedly, Miami is a bit behind the cupcake craze. The market was ripe for a clever cupcake entrepreneur to step forward and put the city on the miniature dessert map. Offering ooey-gooey deliciousness in bite-size portions, Misha’s red velvet is the most talked-about flavor, but our favorite is cookies and cream. Or is it coconut? […]
The shelves are stocked to the gills with import market goods from South America, the display cases stuffed with assertively colored desserts of every stripe, and the countertop piled with sandwiches of varying shapes. Specialties of the house – other than the steamy espressos poured all day – are empanadas modeled after those from Argentina, […]

Mojo’s success can be credited to the doughnuts, which have made the shop a raging success since it debuted in December 2016. More than three dozen varieties are lightly fried and then garnished with sprinkles, creams, or chocolate. Flavors include Nutella bacon, banana cream pie, and salted caramel cheesecake. Don’t leave without a bite of […]
“Devotees from all over South Florida flock to this pocket-size bakery for paper-thin Lebanese flatbreads slightly scorched from a hot oven and topped with labneh, an intensely sour version of salted, Greek-style yogurt. It is nearly as thick as frosting, and delicious. The addition of chopped tomatoes and olives with a bouquet of whole mint […]
This family-run grocery/bakery is a Miami establishment that has been around since 1954. From the minute you walk in, you find aisles overflowing with Middle Eastern ingredients, supplies, and household items. Toward the back of the store is a cafeteria with a selection of hot items, platters, and side dishes made fresh daily by a […]
Einstein’s makes a tasty roll with a hole in the center. New York Bagels and Brooklyn Bagels (no relation) are OK in a pinch. But the Original Brooklyn Water Co. bagels ($1.29 each) are the real deal: soft, malty, and yeasty inside, with a crisp, bronzed crust that comes from being preboiled. An in-house filtering […]

Panera is nothing like Burger King, KFC, Taco Bell, or any of those old-style chains that are ever-so-slowly sliding into obsolescence. This national bakery shares more in common with corporate cafés such as Starbucks and Einstein Bros., but with a whole lot more than just coffee and bagels. Like, for breakfast, a spinach and bacon […]
Argentines are known for their arrogance and red meat. At Patagonia, you get plenty of the latter without much of the former. Miami has a glut of Argentine meat factories/steak houses, and most are pricey. But this place in Coral Gables seems to dispense with presentation in favor of substance. Sure, there’s no waiter service […]
