Best Dessert in West Little River

"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 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."

"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."

"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"

"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.)"

"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.

"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"

"Sometimes after a long night of vodka-sodas, you wake up seriously craving some diner food. And if you happen to live in Downtown or Brickell, that no longer means having to drag your hungover self through beach traffic to get it. This retro destination delivers a menu of over-the-top waffle flavors like bacon and cheddar and Oreo and Nutella alongside a waffle sandwich filled with ham, swiss, and fried eggs."

"Miami Diner, which already has a Downtown location, just opened in the old David’s Cafe space. They’ve got one of those very large diner menus, with burgers, breakfast, milkshakes, sandwiches, salads, pasta, and more."

"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."

"One bite of this nostalgic confection — aptly named the Bedrock ($5.50) and made with house-made red velvet cookies, vanilla ice cream, and Fruity Pebbles — will instantly transport you back to those carefree days of watching The Flintstones. Choose from other signature sandwich flavors, such as tiramisu, reverse Oreo, and triple chocolate, or make your own by mixing and matching cookies, ice creams, and toppings."

"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."

"If you are really looking to treat yourself, head to Chez Bon Bon after dinner. Order an espresso or special drink like The Mochaâ€"made with espresso, steamed milk, and ghiradelli chocolate. This patisserie makes everything from scratch. From the hand-rolled chocolate croissants to cakes, macaroons, marshmallows, and 28 flavors of gelato."

"Restaurants Miami Beach. Find this upscale patisserie in the lobby of the Fontainebleau resort. Whether you’re on vacation or just pretending, you can indulge in gourmet chocolates, specialty cakes and pastries almost too pretty to eat."

"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."

"Restaurants Cuban West Little Havana. Versailles—the famous Cuban bakery that needs no introduction—has a bakery next door to its buzzing restaurant, where a steady stream of Miamians buys pastelitos pretty much all day. Taking a break from the sugar?"

"Because honestly, where else would you get a guava pastelito that tastes this good?. 3555 SW Eighth St.; 305-444-0240 or versaillesrestaurant.com. Photo courtesy of True Loaf"

"Maybe Versailles is better (3501 SW 8th St) ? Day 4: Caribbean vibes in Coconut Grove & swim in gorgeous Venetian pool"

"This spot is a mere 1.4 miles from the beach, offering Sushi, Asian, and Japanese cuisines. Stop by for lunch or dinner or make a reservation and have a table ready when you arrive. Individual diet preferences include gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly options."

"Japanese , Sushi"

"The mecca of dog parks, you can bring your pooch here to play in the fenced in green spaces where dogs can get some exercise with other canines. There’s even an outdoor space with fitness equipment, a walking path and a deck to stroll along and enjoy the Miami sights. Located in Coconut Grove just at the water’s edge, it offers a peaceful view of the open bay for a relaxing afternoon."

"Kennedy Park is located in Coconut Grove, right on the water with a view of the open bay, an outdoor gym including a green ladder you can climb up and down, a running path on an outdoor track, and a children’s play area."

"Little Havana’s most evocative reminder of Old Cuba is Máximo Gómez Park, or ‘Domino Park,’ where the sound of elderly men trash-talking over games of chess is harmonized with the quick clack-clack of slapping dominoes. The jarring backtrack, plus the heavy smell of cigars and a sunrise-bright mural of the 1994 Summit of the Americas, combine to make Máximo Gómez one of the most sensory sites in Miami (although it is admittedly one of the most tourist-heavy ones as well)."

"For Little Havana’s most evocative reminder of Cuba, visit Máximo Gómez Park (known locally as Domino Park), where the sound of elderly men trash-talking over games of dominoes is harmonized with the quick clack-clack of slapping tiles. The heavy cigar smell and a sunrise-bright mural of the 1994 Summit of the Americas add to the atmosphere."

"The shallow and relatively calm waters make it the perfect location for your fur babies to have a carefree splash. If you’re feeling generous, you can even give them a bite of your arepa from the nearby concession stand. Lined with palm trees, there's always a place to cool off in the shade after a frolic in the sun, but if you’re feeling adventurous, you could opt for a parasailing session from nearby Miami Watersports for $110 per person."
