Best Pastries in Virginia Gardens

"Topping the list is the South Beach outpost of local Florida chain Gelato-go. Located at 458 Ocean Drive in South Pointe, it's the highest rated gelato spot in Miami Beach, boasting 4.5 stars out of 214 reviews on Yelp. Yelpers especially recommend the gelateria's dulce de leche and pistachio flavors, and suggest getting scoops in a bowl instead of a cone during hot weather."

"Gelato-go South Beach, a spot to score gelato and more in South Pointe, is another much-loved go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 264 Yelp reviews. Head over to 458 Ocean Drive to see for yourself."

"The food and seating options are endless – making it the best spot to work on South Beach. Make sure you visit the one on 7th, since 17th is in the midst of a tourism central. If you’re craving something sweet, try one of their blended coffee shakes!"

"From Business: Fresh and innovative sandwiches, salads, soups, sweets and more. Specialty coffee is ground from the world's finest beans and prepared by expert baristi."

"The chocolate brigadeiro cake at Sagrado Cafe is an indulgent combination of moist layers of chocolate cake and brigadeiros, Brazil's signature truffle. Thanks to sweetened condensed milk in the truffle mixture, the cake remains moist despite the absence of frosting. To add to the richness, mini brigadeiros top the whole thing ($8 to $69 depending upon the size)."

"With an enchanted garden atmosphere, this Brazilian café in downtown Miami is a great place for family bonding time. Kids' meals ($14) start with a sharable warm basket of gluten-free cheese bread and a choice of soda or juice. Then it's on to their own plate of chicken Milanese, served with a side of rice, fries, or mac 'n' cheese."

"For a European style meal, Panizza Bistro brings an international touch to Miami Beach. This restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and has a large and enticing menu. In the morning you can get a classic egg meal, and later in the day, tapas are the highlight."

"Open for curbside pickup, Gran Paris Bakery’s menu is full of cakes, cupcakes, macaroons, specialty pastries, and more. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Gran Paris Bakery (@granparisbakery) on Apr 16, 2020 at 3:19pm PDT"

"This Italian style eatery has an assortment of meat and cheese breakfast sandwiches in the morning and pizza for lunch and dinner. We came for breakfast and were enamored with the fresh baked bread here. I hear the pizza and especially the crust are even better and definitely worth coming here later in the day."

"One of my favourite places to eat in South Beach which was ultra affordable was Andrix Cafe. We ended up having lunch here a couple of times in the 4 days we stayed in South Beach. Andrix Cafe has super yummy pizza and drinks available as well as free Wifi."

"These are probably my favourite and the most fun on this list of instagrammable places in Miami. I just love the iconic colourful lifeguard towers in Miami, but especially the ones at South Pointe beach!. Expect to see all sorts of bright colours and fun shapes as you stroll along the beach."

"If you’re feeling ambitious on your townie cruiser, you can ride north to Bal Harbour or Haulover beaches; natives know these as water-sports havens—and for Bal Harbour’s luxury shopping. Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."

"Take I-95 south and grab the Rickenbacker Causeway until you hit Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. This beautiful state park is right at the end of Key Biscayne and gives you uninterrupted views of the ocean—a perfect sunset watching spot. The state park has a lighthouse, where guests can climb to the top and look out into the ocean and the beach below. Next to it is a cement lookout spot that serves as a bench to watch the sunset and enjoy your Zak the Baker treats (if you didn't eat them already on the car ride down)."
