Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Di Lido Island

"Forget everything you think you know about coffee and donuts. The Salty Donut, with multiple locations, serves up some of the most innovative donuts and coffee in Miami. The family-owned Salty Donut focuses on artisanal donuts made in small-batches and 100% from-scratch."

"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?"

"The popular kosher baker, who’s bread can be found all over town in grocery stores and restaurants, also boasts his own successful standalone shop. Expect not only his signature breads, but also an assortment of soups, bagels, sandwiches, and pastries during the day, along with falafel pop-up in the evenings."

"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."

"When it comes to pies, the first name that usually comes to mind in Miami is Fireman Derek’s. It proudly calls itself “Miami’s original pie shop,” and it’s earned a huge following with its larger-than-life creations, served whole or by the slice. Flavors range from salted caramel to guava berry, though we’re partial to cookie monster and the brownie bomb."

"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."

"Pastry mastermind Antonio Bachour is known for posting downright drool-worthy shots of his desserts to 900,000 followers (and counting)—and now you can get in on the action by visiting one of his namesake bakery and restaurant locations in Coral Gables, Miami Beach and Doral. (P.S. You’re going to want to get a few pastries for the road after you’re done photoshooting.). 2020 Salzedo St. Coral Gables; antoniobachour.com/restaurant-antonio-bachour"

The menu is Contemporary American, and features a full-line of croissants, egg-based dishes, tartines, sandwiches, salads and main courses as well as Bachour’s petite-gateux, macarons and bonbons."

"Want beautiful and perhaps the best dessert in Miami? This is the place to come, but they don't just do desserts - the crossaints at Bachour are insane.". Bachour2020 Salzedo StMiami, United States"

"A French patisserie specialising in delicious, exquisite cream puffs!. The puffs are not only appealing to the eyes but to the stomachs too!. The handcrafted puffs have light and airy crisp shells piped with different custard cream fillings."

"Hosteria Romana is arguably the best authentic (affordable) Italian restaurant in South Beach. Their pizza, pasta, and fresh bread is to die for. We asked a few locals where we could get some of the best Italian pizza in Miami and this was the answer!"

"Over in City Center, check out Shake Shack, which has earned four stars out of 865 reviews on Yelp.

"The chocolate brigadeiro cake at Sagrado Cafe is an indulgent combination of moist layers of chocolate cake and brigadeiros, Brazil's signature truffle. Thanks to sweetened condensed milk in the truffle mixture, the cake remains moist despite the absence of frosting. To add to the richness, mini brigadeiros top the whole thing ($8 to $69 depending upon the size)."

"With an enchanted garden atmosphere, this Brazilian café in downtown Miami is a great place for family bonding time. Kids' meals ($14) start with a sharable warm basket of gluten-free cheese bread and a choice of soda or juice. Then it's on to their own plate of chicken Milanese, served with a side of rice, fries, or mac 'n' cheese."

"In the midst of downtown’s modern skyscrapers, this waterfront park offers plenty of green space for active folks to exercise. There’s an outdoor gym, volleyball, basketball and tennis courts, and palm tree-lined sidewalks to jog along. Though a hotspot for young locals, parents can bring their kids for some fun in the covered kids’ playground and enjoy a barbecue by the grills and picnic tables."

"If you’re feeling ambitious on your townie cruiser, you can ride north to Bal Harbour or Haulover beaches; natives know these as water-sports havens—and for Bal Harbour’s luxury shopping. Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."
