"If you can judge a doughnut by the number of people waiting in line to eat it, consider these rounds the best in town. Tucked inside a charming Wynwood storefront, the Salty Donut whips up treats in flavors like guava-cheese, maple bacon and Nutella-stuffed. But the real winner here is the tres leches doughnut, made with white chocolate and lots of cream and then torched to perfection."
"The Salty Donut is worth a visit for one thing and one thing only: legendary doughnuts. With flavors like guava and cheese, maple and bacon, tres leches and Nutella, you’d be hard-pressed to go wrong."
"Zak Stern has found overwhelming success with this kosher café in Wynwood. Having started as an artisanal baker pedalling sourdough loaves at farmers' markets, Zak now has a loyal following, with a line out the door at lunchtime. In addition to his comforting baked goods, the café serves daily sandwich, soup, salad and quiche specials."
"Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop is available for both take out and delivery using UberEats and Postmates selling popular items like brownie bomb pie, chocolate peanut butter pie, cookie monster pie, carrot cake, and coconut guava cake, and more.

"In a year where being able to work remotely has actually become an option for many people, Freehold is a dream come true. This Wynwood bar was designed to be a place that offered all of the luxuries of a hotel but without having any rooms. This is a place where you can spend a day working or having meetings with clients/friends/coworkers without having to pay the exorbitant fees associated with coworking spaces."
"That’s about all of the Italian we need to know to navigate the freezer at the most authentic gelato shop in Miami. The owners, Frederico and Carla, brought their family recipes from Italy to the Grove and their passion for gelato shows in every creamy scoop. Pop in, sit down for a coffee, and enjoy the real deal."
"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Coconut Grove. Bianco makes its gelato the old-school Italian way, using all-natural, organic ingredients. If you’re into food that’s made simply, this is the ice cream for you."
"More of a cultural center than a museum, the space is both a comforting reminder for Haitian expats of their country’s art, history, music, movies, and literature and a fascinating look into a Caribbean nation that too few have been able to visit. Opened in 2004 to commemorate Haiti’s Bicentennial, the 60,000-square-foot museum is a one-of-a-kind experience just steps from Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, a location that makes it even more immersive ($10/adult).

"Back in Coral Gables we have yet another French bistro for you to add to your daily rotation. Frenchie’s Diner has been serving up the classic lunch and dinner staples every day but Sunday and Monday. This charming locale has everything you want from a neighborhood Brasserie–from a low-key diner atmosphere, an owner that knows you by name, and solid comfort food that never fails."
"Like its name implies, this brewery pays homage to “Honest Abe.” Just look at the bar for proof—there are thousands of pennies glue to the top. When you go here, grab a seat on one of the plush couches, order some bar snacks (truffle cheddar popcorn, anyone?) and browse the beer list to choose the brew that’s best for you. There are 12 beers made on site at Lincoln’s Beard Brewing Co. and 15 total on tap, the latter of which usually contains a rotating menu of six or seven beers from other Miami breweries.7360 SW 41st Street, Miami, FL 33155."
"Head west and you’ll be rewarded with the self-proclaimed “weirdest brewery” in the city. The staff here might have an irreverent sense of humor, but the beer they produce is serious business. American IPAs, imperial stouts and barrel-aged browns are served up in an eclectic warehouse space, complete with cushy couches, barrel tables and a bar top featuring thousands of pennies—a shout-out to the brewery’s namesake—that have been painstakingly glued on by hand."
"Bars Breweries Industrial Area (Tropical Park). Happy hour: Yes, Mon–Fri 4–6pm; Tue 4–11pm"
"Review: Fast and friendly service, great sours, quirky and cool. Also located in Wynwood, J. Wakefield is an independently owned brewery and taproom established in 2015. They take pride in making beers outside the norm, like a coconut-infused Hefeweizen."
"If you aren't careful, you could mistake the front of the graffiti-covered J. Wakefield Brewing as just another art installation in the many creative Wynwood Walls. However, this is the tap room you are looking for, complete with Star Wars décor."
"Bars Breweries Wynwood. Happy hour: Yes, Mon–Fri 5–7pm. Standout beer: El Jefe"
"With about a dozen specialty beers on tap (plus seasonal selections) and another half-dozen or so microbrews in bottle, Titanic may not have the biggest selection, but there's no arguing that this brewery and restaurant has the most flavorful, carefully crafted beer in town. Brewmaster Jamie Ray whips up at least half of the daily draught offerings, including the evocatively named Boiler Room Nut Brown Ale and Triple Screw light ale, and he keeps receiving national awards for them at competitions where the judges, for the record, never spit. Then there are all the beer-related events -- live blues-and-brews, Mug Club specials, name-that-brewski contests, University of Miami sports nights, Brewmaster dinners, free T-shirt happy hours."
"In 1982 two Florida International University students in their early twenties, Patrick Gleber and Kevin Rusk, helped transform Miami's oldest bar, Tobacco Road, from a decrepit, crime-ridden dive into one of the most popular food and music venues in the county. Then came Fishbone Grille, continuing a tradition of excellent food at a moderate price. So in 1997, when Rusk announced he was going to start a brew pub in Coral Gables, it seemed a recipe for success."
