In 1978, Allen Cohen said goodbye to Michigan winters and started over in Miami peddling lemonade.

Adriana Engelhard and her husband Mark debuted their first restaurant in Lima, Peru, 14 years ago. Now they have a Peruvian eatery in Surfside, and locals are flocking here for fresh, cleanly prepared takes on their native cuisine.

Borrowing from the whole DIY restaurant trend and Coral Gables’s My Yogurt Bliss, Angelina’s is a self-serve, create-your-own-frozen-yogurt-and-get-charged-by-the-weight type of place. Yet unlike the kooky, loud, UM-friendly fro-yo shop down south, this place has more of […]

For that reason, the discovery of a quaint European-style café such as Ankarr should be considered nothing less than a major coup for […]
While France may have cornered the market on croissants, there are still fine, flaky specimens to be found in our primarily Latin city.

Desire leads to desserts. Or at least that’s how Gustavo Sidelnik first began to make gelato. One day in Italy, Cupid pricked him hard with an arrow of amore when Sidelnik caught sight of a beautiful bombshell named Rosa lounging at the counter of her father’s gelateria. Dumbstruck, Sidelnik strolled in and begged the owner, […]
Miami diners who have never managed to master Starbucks’ sizing system will find Cold Stone Creamery’s similarly challenging; the ice-cream chain eschews small, medium, and large in favor of “Like It,” “Love It,” and “Gotta Have It” sizes.

Your first bite into any of Dolce Vita’s bold chocolate offerings will confirm this — Swiss chocolate, chocolate mousse, […]
Years ago, Derek Kaplan was a real-life Miami fireman who made pies with his dad on the weekends. The pies, baked in an industrial kitchen in Wynwood and sold from a food truck and a pizzeria in Coconut Grove, were a sensation. Now Kaplan is one of Miami’s most sought-after bakers, making pies for some […]
