Best Dessert in Leisure City

"Many places serve ice cream in Miami, but Azucar Ice Cream Co. is an award-winning, neighborhood treasure serving up Cuban ice cream from its Little Havana shop. Sourcing local ingredients from farmer's markets and even from fruit stands down the block, Azucar is a cool tribute to the owners "abuela" (grandmother). Ice cream flavors include sunset-colored mamey, creamy avocado with condensed milk, sweet pink guava and sorbets made only with the juiciest mangos, were all grandma's favorites."

"From Italian gelato to Argentine helado to Coney Island frozen custard, warm-weather destinations inspire great takes on ice cream. And Miami is no different with its sabor latino, ideally sampled at Azucar Ice Cream Company. The shop specializes in tropical flavors, including sweet plantain, mantecado (Cuban vanilla), coconut flan, guava, avocado and the signature Abuela Maria, vanilla swirled with ruby-red guava, cream cheese and chopped Maria cookies."

"With a rotating board of fresh ice creams made daily, Azucar is the go-to spot for a sweet treat in Little Havana. There are more than 100 flavors, from originals like the Abuela Maria, which has a vanilla base mixed with guava, cream cheese, and crispy galletas, to classics like chocolate. The Miami sun can be pretty brutal, and Azucar’s ice creams are probably the perfect way to cool down."

"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 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.

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Flagami. Named for the famous ice cream parlor in Havana, Coppelia serves up traditional ice cream, milkshakes and sundaes just like its namesake did in Cuba more than 50 years ago. With that, this place specializes in nostalgia-tinged dessert, featuring pre-revolutionary Cuban favorites like the Copa Lolita, a caramel flan sundae, and flavors like mamey and mantecado."

"This Little Havana gem is set up like a traditional cafeteria and has an old school vibe to it. And it shares its name with a famous ice cream shop in Cuba, which explains why you can get ice cream and flan combos, like the Copa Lolita."

"Wynwood Parlor perfected the simple combination of freshly baked cookies with high-quality ice cream and grew it into a mini empire of handheld desserts. From cocktail-inspired flavor duos (think piña colada and mimosa) to childhood classics rolled in Fruity Pebbles to vegan varieties, there’s something for every age and taste. Get your sandos delivered or shipped (they travel better than most frozen desserts) or try them in person at one of two locations in Edgewater and South Beach."

"A food truck turned ice cream parlor, Wynwood Parlor has gained the reputation of having some of the best ice cream sandwiches in Miami. They have specialized in hand-crafted ice cream made from small batched cookies, ice cream, and toppings for years. Now, they have officially released their new boozy collection of cocktail-infused ice cream sandwiches."

Get sugared up at this kitschy shop and coffee bar serving 20-plus flavors of Brazilian brigadeiros: truffle-like balls made from condensed milk, butter and chocolate and covered in chocolate sprinkles. While these treats are the focus, the coffee shouldn’t be missed—plus it subs in as dessert."

"A modern approach to seafood and a nautical-chic vibe draws a crowd to Lure's Fishbar, which is located inside the Loews Miami Beach Hotel's historic St Moritz Tower. On offer are creative appetisers (try the devilled eggs with caviar, or crispy rice cakes with spicy tuna), sushi rolls and salads meant for sharing, and entrée-sized seafood and steak dishes. The bucatini pasta with butter-poached lobster is a sumptuous option and they've got an award-winning burger for those not in the mood for fish."

"You’d never guess this super authentic Japanese restaurant would be inside a hotel, but lo and behold, Azabu is located in the Marriott Stanton South Beach not too far from Ocean Drive. It feels worlds away, though. Dimly lit, quiet and beautifully understated, Azabu has a Michelin-starred sister location in Tribeca which inspired its Tokyo comfort food concept."

"Restaurants Japanese South of Fifth. Azabu is for the discerning diner. The one who prefers their fish be flown straight from Japan and likes rice cooked in specialty equipment calibrated to the Miami heat and humidity."

"Did not expect the interior to resemble the lobby of a Courtyard Inn, so we asked to sit outside which made up for the lack of ambiance."
