Best Dessert in Tamiami

"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."

"After lunch, cool off with a delicious ice cream treat from Azucar, which offers locally-inspired flavors like Sweet Plantain, Cafe con Leche, and Caramel Flan. What to do in Miami in 2 days: Day 1 Afternoon"

"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."

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."

"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. (FYI: The South Miami shop is opening a satellite location in Wynwood sometime in 2019.)"

"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"

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.

Located in the prestigious Biltmore Hotel, this stylish restaurant features the skills of Michelin star-nominated chef Gregory Pugin and James Beard, both of them continually striving to create dishes that will make you feel as if you were on the Champs Elysées. Their traditional recipes are in line with contemporary trends and are scrupulously crafted using the freshest local ingredients."

"In the most opulent neighborhood of one of the showiest cities in the world, the Biltmore peers down its nose and says, ‘hrmph.’ It’s one of the greatest of the grand hotels of the American Jazz Age, and if this joint were a fictional character from a novel, it’d be, without question, Jay Gatsby. Al Capone had a speakeasy on-site, and the Capone Suite is said to be haunted by the spirit of Fats Walsh, who was murdered here."
