Best Dessert in Miami Shores

"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."

"Phenomenal vegan food in a palm-filled courtyard Even if you’re one who finds the idea of plant-based meat to be sacrilege, well, what’s more romantic than testing your boundaries together?. Plant makes organic, vegan cuisine that even a carnivore will love, so grab a seat out in the palm-filled courtyard and broaden your horizons with ginger-carrot noodles, celery-root lasagna with walnut Bolognese, and almond falafel. The purple lighting and light food make dinner here feel like the start of a big night."

"Plant Miami is an upscale, vegan restaurant that completely transforms vegetables into intricate dishes. Highlights include the harvest dumplings and the cannelloni filled with butternut squash and kale pesto, while guests will never miss cheese with its nut-based board. View this post on Instagram"

"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."

"If you want a cookie as big as a frisbee, check out the menu at Night Owl Cookies. They’ve got two locations in the Design District and near FIU. The menu includes a bunch of pretty crazy-looking cookies that would work wonderfully during a movie night or to fling across the room at your disrespectful roommate."

"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"

"Located next door to Casablanca and also overlooking the Miami River, this longtime family-run business boasts its own fleet of fishing boats, so you know the seafood is always fresh. Garcia’s sports a more casual vibe than its neighbor. It’s a lively place where families and friends gather on the laid-back patio to share plates of seafood with Cuban-influenced side dishes of rice, beans and plantains."

"Garcia’s Seafood Grille & Fish Market Description Renowned local hangout for fresh seafood. Unpretentious old-school joint draws crowds with an on-site market & outdoor patio with river views.

"One part fish market, one part restaurant, the Garcia name has been synonymous with fresh seafood for more than 50 years. It's definitely a local landmark, so if you don’t have a permanent Magic City address, expect to be in the minority—but don’t feel awkward about it. This is one place Miamians are happy to share."

"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."

"This plant-based ice cream specialty shop offers pints of vegan ice cream ($15) for curbside pick up from 2 p.m."

"Chef Giorgio Rapicavoli opened a 225-seat restaurant in the space that used to be the Coconut Grove Library, right in Peacock Park, and it quickly became one of the top restaurants in the city thanks to its bright, seasonal cuisine and..."

"Rouge is something of a hidden gem, nestled deep inside a shopping plaza and completely unassuming until you step inside. Located on Normandy Isle, this lovely bistro blend Moroccan and French flavors for a limited but certainly varied menu. Among your choices will be a gorgonzola souffle, dates stuffed with spicy chorizo, a baby octopus salad with deep-fried kale, wild Patagonian prawns with curry risotto, braised squab with raisins, and Mediterranean sea bass with Moroccan-spiced vegetables."

"Beginning distribution in 2014, Biscayne Bay Brewing Company didn’t open with a 3,400 square-foot taproom until 2016. Lucky for Doral drinkers, it keeps 15 rotating beers on tap, a handful of which are its own brews. Unique to its competition, this brewery has a temperature-controlled barrel-aging room that allows it to create whiskey barrel-aged beers like La Salida, El Roble and Buenas Noches."

"Breweries and children don’t tend to go hand-in-hand, but at Biscayne Bay Brewing every Saturday kids under 12 eat for free off a menu, which features a cheese pizza, grilled cheese sandwich, and chicken fingers. Available from noon to 3 p.m. View this post on Instagram"

"Bars Breweries Doral. Happy hour: Yes, Mon–Fri 3–7pm. Standout beer: La Colada"

"And you'd be hard-pressed to find a more heavenly, authentic rendition of their marriage in a pasta dish than at Macchialina, a South Beach Italian spot that boasts a charming dining room, genuinely friendly service, and wonderful pastas. Chef Michael Pirolo's spaghetti pomodoro offers pristine handmade noodles tossed in a sauce possessing the perfect combination of acidity and sweetness, plus a touch of fragrant basil. Don't be shy about adding plenty of grated Parmesan cheese — it won't corrupt the culinary integrity of this dish ($21)."

"Dine on well-executed Italian classics like braised short-rib lasagna, branzino, veal Milanese, in Macchialina’s ample outdoor dining area dubbed “il Giardino” offering plenty of fully covered dining that holds up to Miami’s not-so-predictable weather."

"An energetic, casual Italian taverna featuring the bold, seasonally inspired cooking of chef Michael Pirolo. Clean flavors, fresh ingredients & rustic accents."

"Major Food Group’s incredibly popular red-sauce focused eatery Carbone has made its way to South Beach. This location serves up the same high-end takes on classic Italian-American dishes that its New York City counterpart has since 2012 like its famous spicy rigatoni in a vodka sauce; the Caesar salad “alla ZZ” that is prepared table-side; veal chop parmesan; and more — alongside some serious old school vibes, potent cocktails, and plenty of people watching. Reservations are already a hot commodity and booked out a month in advance."

"The New York transplant is trending, with reservations booked up a month in advance. The wait is worth it to experience the Old World charm that Mario Carbone and his partners, Jeff Zalaznick and Rich Torrisi, have created. The restaurant is a tribute to classic New York City red-sauce joints — with a modern (and pricey) update."

"Its popularity means that booking is essential, as sometimes tables are booked for up to a month in advance. The restaurant is owned by Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrist. The trio created a restaurant with the Old World charm of the Italian restaurants in New York."

"Fat Tuesday is a New Orleans style Mardi Gras themed bar right next to the beach in Fort Lauderdale. Fat Tuesday’s is great for grabbing drinks and heading to the beach, or relaxing in the bar itself, enjoying the view of the beach while drinking or playing a game on their pool table. Fat Tuesday is known for its frozen drinks and has a large selection of frozen daiquiri flavors to choose from."
