Best Bakery and Cake Shops in South Miami Heights

"Look for the long lines, and you’ll know you’ve found this artisanal donut shop with a major cult-like following. The Salty's quickly transformed from a pop-up food truck to a permanent institution in Wynwood thanks to its fluffy, handmade donuts flaunting flavors such as guava and cheese, maple bacon and white chocolate tres leches, along with seasonal and limited-edition donuts. For something simpler, try the traditional glazed buttermilk donut made with 24-hour brioche, and order a specialty coffee to wash it all down."

"It’s nearly impossible to talk about doughnuts in Miami without mentioning The Salty Donut. The original location in Wynwood often boasted lines that would wrap about the block at all times as doughnut lovers from all over the world flocked to try these decadent pastries. Now these small cake-sized doughnuts can be found in South Miami as well."
