Best Dessert in Sunny Isles Beach

"When strolling along Calle Ocho in the afternoon, nothing satisfies like a scoop of something cold. So pop into Azucar Ice Cream Company, where you'll find flavors that could be dreamed up only in Miami. Located in the heart of Little Havana, this shop has long served frozen sweets with Cuban flair."

"This gem on Calle Ocho is home to the famous Abuela Maria ice cream scoop, made with vanilla mixed with bright jewels of ruby red guava, rich cream cheese and crispy Maria crackers. It’s a Cuban classic. Now doing take-out only."

"Ice Cream , Dessert"

"Plant Miami has a modern plant-based approach with an emphasis on vibrant organic living foods. With vegan, kosher dishes naturally inspired by the South Florida landscape, they use the purest ingredients and highest sustainability practices in the industry. Plus, most of their farm-to-chef ingredients are locally sourced from their very own Paradise Farm."

"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."

"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.

"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."

"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."

"Sea Grill is a fish-centric seafood restaurant with waterside dining located at 163rd Street, North Miami Beach that serves a wide variety of seafood dishes along with Greek favorites. The menu features seafood dishes like grilled octopus, lobster pasta, sea grill ceviche, stuffed calamari, red mullets, shrimp saganaki, and more. Address: 3913 NE 163rd St, North Miami Beach, FL 33160"

"Cielito Artisan Pops, a bakery and ice cream and frozen yogurt spot that offers desserts and more, is another much-loved go-to, with five stars out of 135 Yelp reviews. Head over to 2750 N.W. Third Ave., Suite 20A to see for yourself."

"Cheesecake Factory serves brunch favorites like Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict, Bruleed French Toast & More. The Saturday and Sunday brunch menu is available from 10am to 2pm. Coral Gables Love reader Shayla says, “Eggs Benedict and the monte cristo breakfast sandwich!"

"This Argentinian-styled steakhouse is a one-stop-shop for satisfying foods like artisan pizza, skirt steaks, churrascos and legendary empanadas. Conveniently located on Hollywood Boulevard, just off Interstate 95, Kussifay dishes please almost anyone. Try the pizza kussifay, ribe eye steak with chimmichurri, pollo al ajillo or the parillada."

"Nobody makes you feel more convincingly that you're in Italy like former-Scarpetta chef Michael Pirolo does at Macchialina. This tiny Alton Rd eatery not only survived the volatile Miami restaurant industry, it did it on Alton Rd when Alton Rd was a giant pile of gravel. The only spot not called Panera to survive the Alton Armageddon, it's done it with the richest red sauces, freshest pastas, and most inventive cocktail menu on this list."

"Machialina opened in 2012 and since has been one of the best Italian Restaurants in Miami known for Chef Michael Pirolo’s take on rustic Italian food. The menu choices focus on a select few dishes from antipasti like local burrata, creamy polenta, country bread. Pasta dishes include chef favorite Spaghetti con Vongole a garlic and white wine sauce, Vacatelli Macchialina or Tagliatelle with mushrooms and shallots."

"Macchialina is energetic enough for a fun date or a catch-up meal with loud friends, and they debuted a great outdoor seating setup during the pandemic. It’s covered, too, in case you’re worried about random thunderstorms. But the atmosphere isn’t necessarily why you go to Macchialina - you come here for the pasta."

"Inspired by the four ‘T’ cities — Tel Aviv, Thong Sala, Tokyo, and Tulum — the Upper Buena Vista outdoor mall is full of photo opportunities. With many hidden spots boasting beautiful Instagram backgrounds, you’ll have to explore the entire premises to discover them all. We won’t keep you guessing too much, though — here are some of our favorites:"

"There is nothing fancy about Manor Plaza Shopping Center, but all the basic things you need are available here. They have a good selection of shops, retail stores, and eateries. The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff is nice, and the place is well maintained."
