Best Cookies in South Beach

"Restaurants Bakeries Design District. Miami’s late-night purveyor of gooey, made-to-order, donut-sized cookies is holding strong as one of the city’s best dessert delivery. It used to be that only FIU college students and people living nearby had access to these dank treats but thanks to a second store in the Miami Design District, nearly everyone can get their hands on these."

"Nice to know that the more things change, then change again, then get downright effing surreal, some things stay the same. Like how Night Owl Cookies will still bring you a dozen cookies at almost any hour of the night. And, though you can still go into the store to pick them up for now, you’ll have to wait outside until you get a text saying they’re ready.Cost: $2.75 a cookie; order through Postmates"

"It’s a flavorful explosion of guava, Maria cookies (crunchy tea biscuits), white chocolate chips and a cream cheese frosting—and when we say it’ll keep you full for hours, we mean it. 10534 SW Eighth St.; 786-360-5011 or nightowlcookieco.com. Courtesy of My Ceviche"

"This place has occupied its tiny little storefront on Sunset Drive for decades. Their milkshakes are so thick you can barely get them through a straw, and their chocolate malt shake is as classic as it gets. No fancy machines, no exotic flavors, just some of the best classic ice cream around, with generous scoops."

"Started in 1985, Whip ‘N Dip ranks as a long-time staple among the best Miami ice cream shops. Using locally sourced ingredients from partner suppliers, they make new flavors daily. Some must-trys include banana nut chip, heath bar brownie and chocolate-covered almond."

"This family owned ice cream shop is just off Sunset and has the best ice cream in Miami. Bold statement, I know, but I speak the truth. And, they don’t just stop at ice cream, their cookie cups happen to be the greatest of all time."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Design District. Pastry chef Soraya Caraccioli-Kilgore’s playful dessert spot sells vibrant unicorn cakes, rich chocolate bark and soft-serve in unexpected flavors. Her ice cream, in varieties such as matcha and berry rhubarb, is already pretty special yet she always finds a way to kick it up a notch with add-ons like edible glitter, gold leaf, gold dust, cotton candy and fancy sprinkles—and we’re all the more grateful for it."

"Soraya Kilgore — best known as the pastry chef at restaurants like Brava and Alter — is the woman behind this palace of sweets in Miami's Design District. MadLab Creamery isn't just about the ice cream, however. This spot also entices young and old to create their own sweet-treat work of art via more than 30 toppings, including edible glitter, tufts of pink cotton candy, golden-sheet sprinkles, even a macaroon or two."

Start off with do-it-yourself lettuce wraps–these babies alone are worth the trip. Afterwards, go any route you like, from Szechwan or Hunan to Cantonese or Shanghai."

"Featured in a slew of respected publications, including Esquire, Food & Wine Magazine, and more, this swanky Miami Beach hotspot is beloved by the celebrities and South Florida’s movers and shakers. No matter what you order off the menu, you’re sure to fall in love with the chef’s impeccable creations. Start with something from the raw bar, like oysters paired with champagne or a Maine lobster cocktail served with citrus vinaigrette, then feast on one of the restaurant’s legendary cuts of meat, like tender filet mignon or a prime porterhouse."

"This is a true fine-dining establishment with floor-to-ceiling windows, dim lighting and a well-dressed clientele out to spend some money.

"If you want a high-end dining experience that’s fit for A-list celebrities, all you have to do is step through the doors of Naoe. One of Miami’s best-kept secrets, Naoe is the tiniest of the Japanese restaurants that can only hold eight people at a time—no wonder getting a reservation is so tough here!. However, once you finally manage to get a table, you’re in for a culinary experience that’ll stay with you for a lifetime."

"After shutting down his spot on Sunny Isles, sushi chef Kevin Cory relocated his acclaimed NAOE to Brickell Key, and he hasn’t missed a beat. While not an inexpensive meal by any means, the tiny eight-seat NAOE offers one of the best sushi experience in Miami, always fresh and never disappointing."

"Truly a special occasion restaurant, dinner at NAOE can last up to three hours and starts at $160 per person with an additional charge for sake, sushi and … […]"
