Best Cookies in Star Island

"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."

"We’re never one to turn down the fun flavor creations like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, birthday cake or pumpkin spice on Night Owl’s ever-changing menu. But the Ave Maria has our heart, made with guava, Maria cookies (crunchy tea biscuits), white chocolate chips and a cream cheese frosting drizzle. Order one of these delicious bites for home delivery ASAP."

"It’s business as usual at both locations with the entire menu available. Keeping it trendy, Night Owl will also feature specials like cookies inspired by Tiger King along with a Wake ‘n Bacon cookie, a chocolate chip cookie topped with creamy dulce de leche and dipped in candied bacon.

"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."

"A South Dade mainstay, this ever-popular ice cream stand has been serving homemade ice cream, cookies, and other sweets to the crowds for close to 30 years. Order online for in-store pick up."

"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."

"Watch the yachts and cruise ships go by, and see if you can spot a celebrity as you drive past Star Island and Palm Island, home to Miami’s rich and famous. Have the Uber drop you off at First Miami Presbyterian Church on Brickell Avenue, and walk behind the church to enjoy some classic Florida fare at the Surf and Turf food truck. Don’t be fooled by the name, this food truck is in a class of its own. Well-loved by locals, and you’ll see a mix of professionals on their lunch break, families, and travelers savoring fresh stone crab, ceviche, and the fried grouper along the water."

"Hidden on Palm Island, this quiet park has a nice basketball court (with glass backboards!), tennis courts, and a playground.

"Komodo opened its doors in 2015, and since then, they have been serving Authentic South East Asian food to the people in South Florida. The Komodo serves over a dozen signature cocktails, all of them delicious and well-balanced in a classy and upscale ambience. Who doesn’t like Authentic Asian Fusion food?"

"At Komodo—the pan-Asian food and fun mecca opened by David Grutman on Brickell—the food is good, the drinks are better, and the stargazing is major. Think of it as cocktails with a side of Kardashians. Sip on the Dragon Punch, made with Grey Goose vodka, ginger liqueur, lychee purée, lemon and raspberry."

"Restaurants Chinese Brickell"

"Topping the list is the South Beach outpost of local Florida chain Gelato-go. Located at 458 Ocean Drive in South Pointe, it's the highest rated gelato spot in Miami Beach, boasting 4.5 stars out of 214 reviews on Yelp.
