Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Richmond Heights

"You’ll often notice this family-owned, artisanal donut shop because of the winding line outside (don’t worry, it moves quickly). While it started out as a pop-up in Wynwood, The Salty Donut quickly gained a cult-like following thanks to its over-the-top creations and it currently has locations in Wynwood and South Miami. Everything is made from scratch, artificial ingredients are a no-no, and there’s a solid mix of staple and seasonal donuts."

"23rd St., Suite 112, the bakery and coffee and tea spot, which offers doughnuts and more, is the most popular bakery in Miami, boasting 4.5 stars out of 1,786 reviews on Yelp."

"We hate to break it to you, but you haven’t had bread until you’ve eaten a slice of deliciousness from Zak the Baker. Luckily, this dough is served in dozens of restaurants, available for purchase at Whole Foods and always in stock at the flagship bakery in Wynwood. Plus, the bakery offers a spate of other freshly baked goods like chocolate babka, croissants, cookies and cinnamon rolls."

"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."

"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."

"This Valentine’s Day, the notoriously sweet dessert destination will feature a shareable Heart-Shaped Nutella Stuffed Cookie ($25). Guests can also celebrate their sweetie with other festive treats such as  the Red Velvet Cheesecake – FD’s original, “no-bake” cheesecake recipe with generous swirls of red velvet cake folded in and topped with red velvet cake crumbles and white chocolate drizzle; a silky, southern-style Red Velvet Cake slathered with homemade cream cheese frosting ($8.25 per slice/$70.00 per cake); or Nutella Red Velvet Cake – a signature Red Velvet Cake, homemade Nutella buttercream frosting, chocolate drip shell & hazelnut piroulines ($8.25 per slice/$70.00 per cake). Fireman Derek’s – Wynwood is located at 2818 N."

"This hole in the wall bakeshop is located in the heart of Wynwood, where hipsters and trendsetters unite. It’s owned and operated by a former fireman whose dream was to own a bakery. And thankfully for us, he accomplished his dream and create the most insta and drool worthy pies."

"Dessert , Bakery/Cafe"

"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"

"At his Coral Gables shop, pastry master Antonio Bachor's dazzling interpretation of one of the world's most beloved cakes is nearly irresistible. His elegant dark chocolate mousse, combining dark chocolate and vanilla bean cremeux, offers a perfect balance in flavor and texture through a scrumptious, creamy interior encased in a thin yet rich chocolate shell. Priced at $55, it serves 12 people."

"Chef Antonio Bachour grew up in Puerto Rico, so he knows a thing or two about Cuban coffee in Miami. Thanks to working in his family’s bakery as a child, he was hooked on pastry at a young age. Everyone knows that a good cup of coffee goes perfectly with the flakiest, puffiest pastry."

"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."

"El Brazo Fuerte Bakery is home to fresh-baked traditional Cuban and French pastries and savory dishes. Cuban pastries come in several delicious sweet flavors, including coconut, guava and cheese, guava only, and cream cheese, plus savory options such as beef, ham, and tuna. The bakery also serves up some beautiful éclairs, Napoleons, Key lime tarts, and pizza-flavored pastries."

"Restaurants Coffee shops South Beach. The latest from restaurateur Jason Odio (Baby Jane, La Otra) is a healthy(ish) Cuban-American café named for his grandfather. Order a café con leche with coconut or almond milk, and fill up on chorizo-manchego croquetas or dulce de leche cookies from Stubborn Seed’s Dallas Wynne, who’s a partner on the project."

"A neighborhood staple as well as a dining destination along the beach, you won’t find better coffee in Miami than at Bebito’s Cafe. Not only do the roasters take exquisite care of the beans, their chefs bring artistry to the breakfast table. At Bebito’s you’ll be drinking their Private Label coffee blend."

"South Beach desperately needs more coffee shops where one can concentrate without having to wrestle with a family of French tourists over the only seat near a power outlet. Bebito’s is just such a place. It’s in the lobby of a residential building slightly away from always-busy Alton Road."

"Tayrona is a new (mostly) Colombian restaurant in Allapattah from the team behind Wood. There’s outdoor seating, a full bar, and a menu with empanadas, arepas, and sushi."

"Cielito Artisan Pops, a bakery and ice cream and frozen yogurt spot that offers desserts and more, is another much-loved go-to, with five stars out of 135 Yelp reviews. Head over to 2750 N.W. Third Ave., Suite 20A to see for yourself."

"If you’re unafraid of the inevitable sugar high, Sugar Factory could be one of the most fun spots to hit with the whole family. Don’t be fooled by the name, there’s more than just sweets to be found here. This shop and restaurant located in South Beach’s Hotel Victor has a huge menu packed with pancakes, waffles, French toast, crepes, sandwiches, pizza, milkshakes, sundaes, and more."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants South Beach. Willy Wonka has nothing on this South Beach sugar emporium. Up front, the bulk bins overflowing with sweets and adorable rubber duckies are sure to lure little ones in, but it’s the brasserie in the back that cinches the deal."

"The food and seating options are endless – making it the best spot to work on South Beach. Make sure you visit the one on 7th, since 17th is in the midst of a tourism central. If you’re craving something sweet, try one of their blended coffee shakes!"

"From Business: Fresh and innovative sandwiches, salads, soups, sweets and more. Specialty coffee is ground from the world's finest beans and prepared by expert baristi."

"A cartoonish neon sign and brash colors lead you into this Little Havana seafood restaurant where most people are here for the OG Minuta, a snapper sandwich that’s a whole fish on a lightly toasted Cuban roll. Shrimp empanadas, conch fritters, shrimp tacos—they all come out fresh and tasty and if you’re feeling hungry or want to share, the kitchen will send out whole fried fish or a stone crab or a breaded lobster. You can’t go wrong here."

"This cash-only fish joint has been a staple in the Little Havana neighborhood for almost 50 years. Originally known as the Garcia Brothers Seafood Market, the venture was a labor of love, created by the exiled Garcia family, who left their native Cuba shortly after Castro took power. The family had already been in the fishing business back home so it was a logical move for them to open the market."

"A classic fish-fry joint in Flagler, La Camaronera is a popular restaurant among the locals. It is an affordable venue that served no-frill crowd-pleasers, such as fried shrimp and conch fritters. Some of the dishes on the menu are inspired by Cuban favorites, and there is the option to have fried fish and seafood served in various ways or alongside a variety of accompaniments."
