Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Miami River

"This family-owned doughnut shop in Wynwood is not your average dessert place and that’s a good thing. Doughnut flavors here change seasonally and all of the family’s yeast-raised doughnuts use a 24-hour brioche recipe (think butter, flaky bread and more butter). The Salty Donut serves cake doughnuts too, which are crunchy on the outside, and moist on the inside."

"The fast-selling, handmade brioche donuts are buttery and fluffy outside, soft and moist inside. They make regular flavours like traditional glazed, hazelnut chocolate and white chocolate tres leches all year round. Grab some maple bacon donuts if you are there, hands up!"

"The Salty Donut, located in the heart of Wynwood, Miami, is famous for their mouthwatering and beautifully-made donuts. Catch them in the mornings because they tend to sell out quite quickly."

"Zak the Baker's Technicolor building is just billed as "bakery" on the outside—a sign of false modesty if ever there was one. Zak's is known for its world-class bread, which some of the city's best restaurants order to serve to their customers. Here at the mothership, though, the painstakingly made pleated loaves are topped with corned beef or avocado, and rye bread, chocolate babkas, and quiche all fly off the shelves."

"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."

"I never knew gluten-free bread could taste so good until I took a bite of Zak The Baker’s incredible bread. Seriously, it’s delish."

"Located in Wynwood, Fireman Derek’s World Famous Pies serves up some of the most delicious pies around, with flavors like chocolate peanut butter, brown butter pie, and s’mores. They also have a killer guava cheesecake, red velvet cake, and serve lunch pies, including their infamous mac and cheese pie. If you’re in the mood for some seriously savory pies, you’re going to have to hit this spot in the vibrant streets of Miami’s arts district."

"Located in the Wynwood Art District, this hidden gem serves up sweet pies, like the classic apple and chocolate peanut butter, yet also savory pies, like the spinach and feta and the Mediterranean. After browsing the beautiful art, stop by this joint to grab a slice of literally anything. They won't let you down."

"The namesake of Puerto Rican pastry chef Antonio Bachour is an oasis of the Instagram-worthy creations that have made him a national sensation. Glass display cases proffer seductive rows of brightly colored cakes, macarons, croissants, and bonbons to satisfy even the most demanding sweet tooth. This 5,000-square-foot spot, tucked away in Coral Gables on a serene corner of Salzedo Street, offers not only melt-in-your-mouth pastries and desserts, but also workshops for culinary professionals and a daylong à la carte menu of salads, egg-based dishes, tarts, sandwiches, and hearty entrées such as churrasco and grilled salmon."

"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."

"At Buttercream we have been baking our classic red velvet cupcake for the last 10 years. Our delicious red velvet... A great place to meet up with friends for delicious cupcakes and great coffee."

"La Boulangerie Boul’Mich is a French-style bakery, cafe, and breakfast eatery that offers fresh-made foods and baked goods every day. Their breakfast menu is quite egg-centric, with options for omelets, Benedicts, scrambles, and more as well as some classic French fare and other breakfast dishes like a croque madame, pain perdu, and buttermilk pancakes. Beverages are nonalcoholic, with options of freshly squeezed juice, Orangina, iced tea, and sparkling mineral water."

"A French bakery with a Latin twist” is their motto; a perfect way to reel in Miami’s Hispanic locals. While there might be a few Latin elements, La Boulangerie is most noticeably French. Light-filled and full of noise behind the counter, fresh-baked pastries that run out every day (best almond croissants)–straight from Paris’ own streets!"

"This is a popular French bakery that has a special Latin twist to it. Here, you will find mouth-watering pastries that are freshly baked every day. Since this artisanal bakery was opened 20 years ago, it has grown into one of the must-visit spots here in the city."

"America’s favorite all-day, everyday stop for coffee, espresso, breakfast sandwiches and donuts. Stop by or order ahead with the Dunkin’ App."

"Scott was the most attentive and helped me find what I was looking for. She’s truly great and I’ll be back!"

"Tucked away in Little Havana, this small café and bakery is relaxed and unpretentious. Okay, the ambiance could use some work, but their service is warm and friendly, and you’ll find some of the best Cuban breakfast and lunch specials here. You can’t go wrong with the eggs, bacon or ham, fries, and Cuban toast breakfast combo, with the cafe con leche."

"For a more chilled beach day option, head to North Beach Oceanside Park, a serene destination, out of the way of the hustle and bustle of Miami Beach’s hotels and restaurants. Pack your cooler to the brim, bring a Pub sub, and take in the blissful scene of the Atlantic Ocean. The park also features shaded walking trails, a bike path, and a dog park and playground to entertain the kids and fur babies."

"On the edge of South Beach, South Pointe Park offers 360-degree views of the ocean and plenty of sailing cruise ship sightings as this is where vessels reach the Port of Miami. The park, with its neatly planted palm trees and perfectly kept lawns, features a kids playground, plenty of sidewalk room to skateboard, a dog park, a romantic pier where folks gather along to fish and of course – the beach."

"– Green Spaces Option #1 - South Pointe Park At the southern tip of Miami Beach is South Pointe Park, a delightful green space with lovely rolling hills and footpaths that run straight down to the beach and the crystal blue Atlantic ocean. Come here to admire the natural beauty of Miami Beach. Kids can jump around and cool off in the park’s fun water features."

"If you’re lucky enough, you'll get some cruises in the background. The park has hundreds of palm trees and a beautiful ocean view. It is the perfect backdrop to make your landlocked friends jealous."

"Located a few blocks north of Miracle Mile in Coral Gables is Gusto Fino Italian Deli Café, is one of my favorite sandwich shops in the city. Serving a variety of classic Italian dishes and hot and cold sandwiches, the casual café, also offers a limited beer and wine list, as well as a breakfast menu. You’ll find delicious offerings like a classic New York Reuben sandwich or a hot pastrami sub."

"The Little River's Manatee Bend Park, where you can spot actual manatees, (six of them are in that picture!) is a small, green space to relax, a communal outdoor living room for the surrounding neighborhood."

"Crandon Park Beach boasts some of the clearest waters Miami has to offer, thanks in part to a strict ban on floatation devices and its offshore sandbar — itself an idyllic place to bask like the Floridian lizard you are at heart. Not to worry though, there’s plenty else to keep the whole family entertained, including unique eco-adventure experiences, picnic and cookout areas, and concession stands. If the sun becomes too much, head to the Family Amusement Center open on weekends and holidays only to check out its restored carousel, beachfront playground, and splash fountain."

"Just a short drive to northern Key Biscayne, Crandon Park is an island park equipped with volleyball nets, cabanas for rent and pristine turquoise waters that beckon for a dip. Aside from the stunning beaches and pearly white sands, the park is also home to mangroves, dunes and a nature center that houses exotic fish and other wildlife. Just five minutes away from Crandon Park is Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park which is home to the Cape Florida Light – the oldest standing structure in Greater Miami."

"An abandoned zoo on a subtropical island, ever since Dade County's main zoological park decamped to way down south, the Crandon Park Gardens, or just Crandon Gardens (both derivations are used) has sat and grown into a hidden, mysterious botanical garden with otherworldly follies (the former animal enclosures) scattered here and there."

"Wander around Calle Ocho for some interesting street art, watch locals play dominos in Maximo Gomez Park, and pick up a hand-rolled cigar as a souvenir. Although it’s known for its Cuban heritage and influence, Calle Ocho isn’t just limited to Cuban food. Go for that Cuban sandwich or basket of croquetas from Versailles, or try some Nicaraguan food at Guayacan, Mexican food at Mi Rinconcito Mexicano, or, my personal favorite, the Thai cuisine at Lung Yai Thai Tapas. Yep, some of Miami’s best Thai food is found in Little Havana!"

"Little Havana’s most evocative reminder of Old Cuba is Máximo Gómez Park, or ‘Domino Park,’ where the sound of elderly men trash-talking over games of chess is harmonized with the quick clack-clack of slapping dominoes. The jarring backtrack, plus the heavy smell of cigars and a sunrise-bright mural of the 1994 Summit of the Americas, combine to make Máximo Gómez one of the most sensory sites in Miami (although it is admittedly one of the most tourist-heavy ones as well)."
