"Although 'artisanal doughnuts' sounds pretentious, no one can deny the merits of these artfully designed creations featuring seasonal ingredients – probably the best in South Florida. Maple and bacon, guava and... Mexican in Wynwood & the Design District"
"While in the area, grab a pastry at Zak the Baker. Whether you are in the mood for an afternoon snack at its deli or an almond Danish at the bakery, Zak the Baker has everything your heart desires. Maybe even grab a treat to go, because your next stop is the perfect place for an afternoon pre-dinner picnic."
"This Wynwood bakery has the best flourless dark chocolate almond cookie in town. And dark chocolate rye. And wheat chocolate chip."
"This Valentine’s Day, the notoriously sweet dessert destination will feature a shareable Heart-Shaped Nutella Stuffed Cookie ($25). Guests can also celebrate their sweetie with other festive treats such as the Red Velvet Cheesecake – FD’s original, “no-bake” cheesecake recipe with generous swirls of red velvet cake folded in and topped with red velvet cake crumbles and white chocolate drizzle; a silky, southern-style Red Velvet Cake slathered with homemade cream cheese frosting ($8.25 per slice/$70.00 per cake); or Nutella Red Velvet Cake – a signature Red Velvet Cake, homemade Nutella buttercream frosting, chocolate drip shell & hazelnut piroulines ($8.25 per slice/$70.00 per cake). Fireman Derek’s – Wynwood is located at 2818 N."
"No need to drive to Key West for a quality slice: Miami is replete with plenty of takes on the classic pie that nail the sweet-to-tart ratio. At Fireman Derek’s, the key lime is the most requested flavor—and it’s no surprise why. It strikes the perfect balance between tart and sweet, and it always includes a generous heap of whipped cream."

"Serious coffee lovers will love ALL DAY, a Miami classic that Vogue called “the best cup of coffee in Miami,” and the New York Times put on its “must-visit list” for coffeeholics.

Their coffee menu is extensive and made from fresh beans, blind tested each week from small batch roasters and chosen for the best taste."

"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.

"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.

Theirs starts with a traditional French custard base that’s flavored with locally sourced ingredients, including fruit and dairy products from South Florida farmers."

"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).

Whether you're looking to go for dinner with friends or host a private event, you can't go wrong here."
"This classic steakhouse perched in the South of Fifth neighborhood is just as popular for its views as it is for its meat selection. Opt to grab one of its steaks to-go, or dine outside and enjoy a meal and a sunset view."
