Father and son duo Jesús and Manuel Brazon of Caracas Bakery craft some of Miami's most sought-after baked goods, and if you haven't heard of their bakery before, just wait until you get a taste in the Gables.
Edible South Florida even posted a photo of the storefront with the caption, "What’s this on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables? They hope to open soon!"

A photo series shared by Jesús Brazon on his personal Instagram account a few days prior seems to have confirmed the news. He writes, “Somewhere” testing the P17…" with a series of photos containing a hint at the new location (near Miracle Theatre) and behind-the-scenes photos of an early photo shoot at the soon-to-open bakery.
Therefore, get ready for a December or January opening, Gables!
The menu, which has grown considerably with the opening of its Upper Eastside location (it originally opened in Doral), features a variety of bread, pastries, and a list of breakfast- and lunch-inspired sandwiches or small toasts served on fresh-baked baguettes with chewy slices of campesino.
But it's the bakery's pastry program that showcases the Venezuelan spin. While the usual suspects like the guava and cheese Danish, apple turnovers labeled as pastel de manzana, and Nutella or pastry-stuffed cruffins are stellar, don't miss its take on the sweet, Latin American-style sticky buns known as golfeados, often accented with tropical fruits, raw sugar, or cheese.
Pro tip: Try the popular cachitos (pictured above), which are flaky pastries filled with ham, cheese, or a combination of the two.
