Best French Bakery in Sandspur Island

"Look for the long lines, and you’ll know you’ve found this artisanal donut shop with a major cult-like following. The Salty's quickly transformed from a pop-up food truck to a permanent institution in Wynwood thanks to its fluffy, handmade donuts flaunting flavors such as guava and cheese, maple bacon and white chocolate tres leches, along with seasonal and limited-edition donuts. For something simpler, try the traditional glazed buttermilk donut made with 24-hour brioche, and order a specialty coffee to wash it all down."

"This family-owned doughnut shop in Wynwood is not your average dessert place and that’s a good thing. Doughnut flavors here change seasonally and all of the family’s yeast-raised doughnuts use a 24-hour brioche recipe (think butter, flaky bread and more butter). The Salty Donut serves cake doughnuts too, which are crunchy on the outside, and moist on the inside."

"The Salty Donut, located in the heart of Wynwood, Miami, is famous for their mouthwatering and beautifully-made donuts. Catch them in the mornings because they tend to sell out quite quickly."

"If you’re in the mood for a fresh loaf of bread, Zak the Baker loaves can be found fresh throughout several Whole Foods locations in Miami. However, if you want to visit the café for a delicious sit-down meal, you have to visit the Zak the Baker (kosher) café in Wynwood. Menu items include ricotta, orange curd, and lemongrass sweet toast, hot and fresh tuna melts, soups of the day, and pastries to take home."

"The only strictly Kosher bakery on the list is Wynwood favorite Zak the Baker. The daily chalkboard menu changes depending on what's available, with everything made by hand. The seasonal menu features breakfast items like porridge and latke, pastries, ricotta toast, a variety of sandwiches, and daily soups and salads."

"Former Miami firefighter Derek Kaplan's chocolate cake is practically synonymous with over-the-top chocolate merriment. This decadent double-layer creation is not only blanketed in a chocolate drip shell but also topped with chocolate buttercream frosting and mini chocolate chips. A slice costs $8.50, and a whole cake, for $68, weighs more than eight pounds and serves up to 20 people."

"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. Pro tip: order a cake sampler that features five flavors of cake equal to the size of one full cake. View this post on Instagram"

"Another Peruvian restaurant that is worth checking out is Aromas del Peru. Some of the menu choices include traditional Creole cuisine with a classic style that you will surely love along with innovative dishes. With great food and service, it has everything that you need to enjoy a lovely meal."

"This Taiwanese dessert food truck in The Wynwood Yard and at Lincoln Road Mall brings us the shaved ice and ice cream hybrid we never knew we needed. You eat the paper-thin layers of ice cream with a fork instead of a spoon and they’re modeled after Taiwanese “snow dessert.” Their coconut flavor is vegan, and they also have bubble teas. What they do: Ice CreamWebsite: Visit HerePhone:888-606-2464Hours: Monday to Sunday, 1 p.m."

"Things to do Event spaces Wynwood. Stationed in the 1-800-Lucky courtyard, this small truck doles out those whimsical, fish-shaped ice cream cones that flooded your Instagram feed two summers ago. While not everything you see on the internet tastes good, these cones do."

"At this ice cream shop, you can expect to find a DJ spinning hip hops hits in the corner and walls covered in graffiti art. It’s always a dance party, and the ice cream flavor names match that party vibe. You can try “A$AP Rocky Road,” “Snoopstachio,” and even some good ole’ “Purple Rain.” What keeps us coming back, though, is their famous “Fat Boy Brownie Sundae."

"Owned and operated by a “couple of chubby DJs” (their words, not ours) it features a variety of different ice cream combos all named after rappers, along with items like a beer float, Ricky Rozay mimosa popsicles, sundaes, flavored coffees, all offered to-go."

"Tucked amongst the verdant foliage and gurgling fountains of the Wynwood’s serene Sacred Space, Plant’s soothing aesthetic and bright, beautiful dishes are a perfect match for its surroundings. Thoughtful takes on global dishes dominate the menu, like Thai coconut ceviche, adobo-rubbed mamey asado and cannelloni composed of kale pesto and almond herb cheese. The restaurant’s ethical ethos extends to its ingredients – most of its produce is sourced from Paradise Farms, Plant’s certified-organic sister property located a few miles south in Homestead."

"Plant is an eclectic plant-based concept temporarily located within The Sacred Space Miami. Heralded by executive chef Horacio Rivadero and pastry Chef Veronica Manolizi, the restaurant prides itself on being the most sustainable in the industry. The innovative dishes are inspired by the nature of South Florida, and indeed each plate is a true form of art featuring only locally harvested produce."

"Despite its name, DIRT offers clean eating and great taste on one plate. Their farm-to-counter policy is what attracts vegans all over Florida and makes it one of the best vegan restaurants in Miami Beach. The majority of their menu is vegan, but they also offer vegetarian and paleo options."

"The Miami Beach Botanical Gardens was originally a municipal park that opened in the early ’60s; it wasn’t until decades later when the area was redesigned and rejuvenated that it became the fantastic attraction that it is now. Designed by one of the state’s most renowned landscape architects, the gardens are an urban oasis filled with fountains, art, and an amazingly diverse array of plants, trees, and flowers, most of which are species native to Florida. The grounds include a Japanese garden, warden gardens, plenty of shaded seating areas, and well-marked pathways that lead to each distinct area."

"2000 Convention Center Dr, The Miami Beach Botanical Garden is a 2.6-acre urban green space in Miami Beach and was founded in 1962.* The Garden offers free admission and is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9 a.m."

"Hop aboard for a fun 90-minute sightseeing cruise that takes you past waterfront mansions, Port Miami, Fisher Island and other highlights. See captivating views of the Miami skyline while enjoying beverages and light snacks."
