Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Biscayne Park

"Although 'artisanal doughnuts' sounds pretentious, no one can deny the merits of these artfully designed creations featuring seasonal ingredients – probably the best in South Florida. Maple and bacon, guava and... Mexican in Wynwood & the Design District"

"The line may wrap around the block, but every single minute waiting is worth it. Trust me, once you take a bite of one of their donuts, happy tears will start streaming down your face. And oh yeah, guess what?"

"While in the area, grab a pastry at Zak the Baker. Whether you are in the mood for an afternoon snack at its deli or an almond Danish at the bakery, Zak the Baker has everything your heart desires. Maybe even grab a treat to go, because your next stop is the perfect place for an afternoon pre-dinner picnic."

"Come for a loaf of sourdough (or a good ol’ pastrami sandwich), stay for the sweet-smelling aroma of freshly baked breads and pastries that fills the café all day long. Currently offering delivery and take-out. 295 NW 26th Ave.,Wynwood; 786-294-0876 or zakthebaker.com"

"Compared to its Wynwood neighbors, Zak the Baker is kind of boring. The floor is grey concrete. The tables and chairs are simple and wooden."

"No need to drive to Key West for a quality slice: Miami is replete with plenty of takes on the classic pie that nail the sweet-to-tart ratio. At Fireman Derek’s, the key lime is the most requested flavor—and it’s no surprise why. It strikes the perfect balance between tart and sweet, and it always includes a generous heap of whipped cream."

"Antonio Bachour’s Coral Gables bakery is legendary across South Florida. The award-winning pastry chef’s creations are all divinely decadent and nearly too beautiful to eat, from the petits gateaux, to the macarons. No matter what you order, every single item on the bakery list is bound to blow your mind (and your caloric intake for the day, but who’s dieting here?)."

"Antonio Bachour’s namesake and flagship bakery located in Coral Gables serves a variety of award-winning pastries. Here there’s no shortage of filled croissants, breads, and petits gateaux. One of the most popular treats is the dulce de leche croissant that’s filled to the brim with gooey sweetness."

"Finally, over in Coral Shores, there's Angelo Elia The Bakery Bar, which has earned four stars out of 106 reviews on Yelp. You can find the bakery, cafe and breakfast and brunch spot at 2104 E."

"A visit to the International Swimming Hall of Fame entails an impressive tour offering much more than visitors expect. The complex includes a museum, hall of fame, and world-class aquatic center. After its construction in 1965 and extensive renovations in 1991, the aquatic center today hosts national and international swimming events while the Hall of Fame showcases the accomplishments of competitive swimmers, water polo players, synchronized swimmers, divers, and others."

"If you love to swim, it’s not all the difficult to figure out what to do in Florida. Surrounded by all this water and warm temperatures, you might get more swimming done in a weekend than you have in the last year or so. You should come to the International Swimming Hall of Fame Museum if swimming is something that really excites and delights you."

"Fort Lauderdale has a rich history which may be overshadowed by the more modern an sophisticated metro area that it has become. Old Fort Lauderdale Village and Museum chronicles the city's history from the early Seminole era to World War II. It also offers information about the city's historic district and a chronology of its development. Other exhibits feature scale models of historic structures, including a recreation of a Seminole village complete with arts and crafts."

"Serafinais another great option for Italian cuisine by the water. The trattoria is nestled in Victoria Park and is often referred to as a hidden gem. Book a table on the terrace for a romanticcandlelit dinner, or stop by for brunch and kick off the weekend with bottomless mimosas."

"Over in Victoria Park, check out Serafina Italian Restaurant & Waterfront Bistro, which has earned four stars out of 225 reviews on Yelp. Treat yourself to high-end seafood and Italian fare by heading to 926 N.E."

"Adrianne Calvo, the star-studded chef behind restaurants like Redfish and Cracked, is at it again with her newest venture, Forte, which opened last week in Coral Gables in the former Cibo Wine Bar space on Miracle Mile. The restaurant, Adrianne’s tribute to her mother’s Sicilian heritage, is named after her mom’s maiden name and focuses heavily on Italian classics, seafood, and coastal eats. Menu standouts include Tuscan White Bean soup with crispy kale and parmesan; Burrata con Tartufo with braised cipollini onions, balsamic glaze, and garlic breadcrumbs; 24-hour Braised Short Rib Pappardelle with garlic bread crumbs and parmesan; Mortadella Wagyu Meatballs with stracciatella; and Veal Chop Florentine with cipollini onion and fingerling potatoes."

"Forte dei Marmi brings Italian charm, quality ingredients and concept of slow food. It is run by father and son, Italians, who are doing very well job in recreating original restaurant from Amalfi Coast – Quattro Passi,. Most of the staff is Italian, and many guests speak Italian too, therefore you might feel as you were really transported to Italy!"

"A Jewish deli done wrong,” proclaims owner/chef Josh Marcus of his chill spot in Surfside. Marcus worked in many of Miami’s famous restaurants, but Josh’s Deli is a departure: it’s classic food made with fresher ingredients, creative twists (a softshell crab croissant, octopus and grits, spicy tuna latkes), and homemade everything (even the bagels). The experience is deeply unpretentious, which we love."

"While the breakfast menu is pretty standard (you can’t go wrong with an omelet, pancakes, or eggs benedict), the view is anything but ordinary. Out on the veranda underneath the palms swaying in the beach breeze, this waterfront restaurant in Fort Lauderdale is the best spot for watching the sunrise. Doors open at a bright and early 7 a.m."

"Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at the Pelican Grand Hotel, Ocean2000 serves local fresh fish and vegetables cooked with a little Latin flair. Like any hotel restaurant, there are breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner menus. For the morning and early-afternoon crowd, try the cinnamon-challah french toast."
