Keep this guide handy when looking for the best bakeries in Miami. 

We’ve been procrastinating this guide, but honestly it worked out because so many bakeries have been popping up lately. We believe we now have a solid list that covers a myriad of options when it comes to baked goods.

From French Viennoiserie to one that mills its own flour in-house, a Venezuelan spot known for its cachitos, a Portuguese classic, and even an RV concept from a former Michelin-starred pastry chef, this list covers a wide range.

What we love about Miami’s bakery scene is how diverse it is and how much love these places put into what they do. Because if you’ve ever tried baking at home, you know it is no easy task. It requires patience and long hours.

Here are our favorite bakeries in Miami. We will tell you how to experience them the best way possible.

STAND


Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address98 Miracle Mile
CuisineJapanese

If you’re into matcha, Japanese cafés, or a new lunch spot in Coral Gables, STAND. deserves a place on your list.

From the team behind Michelin-starred SHINGO, STAND. brings Tokyo café culture to Miracle Mile with sandos,  pastries, specialty coffee, and matcha sourced from Japan. On the food side, don’t miss the Housemade Milk Bread. It’s used for everything from their Japanese Egg Salad and Chicken Katsu sandos to thick-cut toasts and their signature Shio Pan, a buttery Japanese bread roll that comes in flavors like Curry Pan, Chocolate Pan, and Cream Pan.

FLOUR & WEIRDOUGHS


Neighborhood: Key Biscayne
Address: 19 Harbor Dr
Cuisine: French with a Miami twist

One of Miami’s best restaurants is actually a bakery, and luckily for us, it offers one of the top brunches in the city. We’re talking about Flour and Weirdoughs, located in Key Biscayne. This spot is where you’re going before or after the beach with your friends or family on the weekends.

Flour and Weirdoughs is a rustic bakery that mills its flour in-house. All their sourdough breads are organic and filled with nutrients. If you’re looking for a ready-to-go breakfast item, we’d go for their eggs deep danish with eggs, bacon, and cheese; a simple Basic AF Croissant (yes, that’s the name), ham and cheese croissant, or their famous It’s Brisket B*tch croissant named after Britney Spears that comes with provolone, grain mustard, cured brisket (they cure it in-house for 11 days). And let’s just say, this is our favorite croissant in Miami.

If you have time to sit and enjoy a full meal, try their all-day breakfast/brunch menu from Wednesday through Sunday from 8 AM to 2 PM. They have some of the best bread we’ve ever had in Miami, so of course we love their avocado toast with baby arugula, fresh tomato, pickled shallots, and grated pecorino. We also love the Jessa sandwich with soft scrambled egg, smoked gouda, caramelized onions, avocado, chipotle mayo, and crunchy chow mein noodles, on a home-baked brioche bun. Our favorite eggy dish is the Turkish eggs with garlic Greek yogurt topped with smoky chili butter, cilantro, and & sunny-side-up eggs served with toast and a lemon wedge. If you’re more into something sweet, go with the croissant French toast with whipped cream and drizzled berry compote.

CARACAS BAKERY


Neighborhood: Various locations
Cuisine: Venezuelan, French

Caracas Bakery is a solid casual breakfast or post-gym brunch spot with a modern space softened by warm wood details that give subtle Japanese bakery energy. They’ve built a loyal following in MiMo and Coral Gables and just opened a new location in the Design District.

The menu pulls from Venezuelan and French traditions, so expect artisan loaves, sweet and savory croissants, pastries, toasts, eggs, and Cachitos (a must). If you’re ordering, go for the Breakfast PlatterGolfeadosmushroom toastMerguez toastturkey club, or the Pastelitos de Carne. The BEC with soft scrambled eggs, thick-cut bacon, and cheddar on their sweet potato bun is another strong move.

There’s limited indoor seating, so come early if you want to dine in — especially if you’re after cachitos. They do sell out.

MADRUGA BAKERY


Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address1430 S Dixie Hwy STE 117
Cuisine: Seasonal, American

Madruga is a neighborhood bakery that does artisan bread, rustic pastries, breakfast, lunch, and really good coffee in a cozy space that feels like someone’s countryside kitchen. It’s casual, charming, and always busy.

The lattes come in oversized cups (we’re not complaining), and it’s the kind of place you go for a slow weekend breakfast with family, a post-workout coffee with a friend, or a quick to-go stop if you’re in a rush. Expect a line, but it moves fast.

For savory, the Madruga egg sandwich is a must: Niman Ranch bacon, sautéed greens, coastal cheddar, a runny organic egg, and fresh herb aioli on their onion poppy roll. For something sweet, go for guava and cheese danishchocolate hazelnut croissantmonkey bread, or the mini polenta cake. The ricotta and jam toast on their Sonora toast with homemade ricotta and berries (or tomato jam) is another strong move.

They’re open Wednesday–Friday from 8 AM–3 PM and Saturday–Sunday from 8 AM–2 PM. Tables turn quickly during peak hours, so it’s not an all-day work spot. Pro tip: go closer to closing. Sometimes the team hands out leftover baked goods, and you might leave with brownies or cookies you didn’t plan on.

TRUE LOAF BAKERY


Neighborhood: South Beach
Address: Sunset Harbour Shops, 1894 Bay Rd
Cuisine: French, Parisian

The long-standing and most delicious bakery in Miami Beach. True Loaf is that easy weekend move after a walk around Sunset Harbour or a workout class when you want something good, simple, and done right. Something about it gives Hampton’s energy.

Go for the BLT if you’re in sandwich mode, the ham and cheese croissant if you’re keeping it classic, and always add something sweet. The Kouign Amann is a must, and the banana bread and chocolate chip walnut cookie never miss. We also love the Raspberry Cream Cheese Square.

MAJESTIC PORTUGUESE BAKEHOUSE


Neighborhood: Coral Way
Address: 3340 Coral Way
Cuisine: Portuguese, Venezuelan

If you’re looking for your not-so-typical Latin bakery, check out the Majestic Portuguese Bakehouse located on Coral Way; Part Portuguese (yes, they sell Pastel de Nata & Pão de Queijo) and part Venezuelan (Cachitos are also available). They have limited seating outside, or you can sit inside with the AC.

The menu includes natural juices, scrambled egg dishes, salads, and sandwiches. We recommend going for an informal breakfast or brunch and trying the Prego Traditional No Pão, Portuguese for “Nailed” Steak Sandwich. This popular sandwich in Portugal is a rare find in Miami. The steak is marinated in garlic and is presented on freshly baked bread.

It’s a great spot to bring friends on weekdays and weekends. They are open from 7:30 AM – 7 PM from Monday to Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, they open at 8 AM (and on Sunday, they close at 6 PM).

BAKER AND BARISTA


Neighborhood: Design District, Upper Buena Vista
Address: 4582 NE 2nd Av
Cuisine: Italian, Sicilian, Macedonian

A true neighborhood bakery café in the Design District/Upper Buena Vista area, where everything is produced in-house, and nothing feels rushed. It’s small, cozy, and built on real craft. Behind it are Clara Baio and Antonija Atanasova. Clara grew up baking in her grandparents’ Sicilian bakery, mastering crusty loaves, focaccias, and delicate pastries before opening her own. Antonija’s story started in Macedonia and evolved into a love for coffee that turned her into a celebrated barista in the U.S. Together, they bring Italian baking and serious coffee under one roof.

The ham and cheese croissant is a staple, the apple croissant is flaky and not overly sweet, and the sourdough cinnamon roll is one of those you think about later. If there’s a seasonal Danish (the fig especially), order it.

BACHOUR


Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 2020 Salzedo St
Cuisine: Modern French, International

This modern Parisian bakery by Antonio Bachour, one of the most internationally recognized pastry chefs in the world, is the answer when your brunch group can’t agree on anything.

Start with tequeños or the mini arepa fritters with avocado and cotija to share. If you’re in sandwich mode, the tuna salad sandwichBachour Cuban, and turkey club are all solid. Keeping it classic? Go plain croissant, ham and cheese croissant, or the Spanish scramble. They also have all the Benedict variations you could want, plus a Croque Madame for when you can’t decide between eggs and a sandwich. There’s even a Mezze Platter with kibbeh, piquillo pepper hummus, labneh feta, and pita bread if the table wants something different.

End with a cortadito and a dulce de leche croissant for the table.

EL BAGEL


Neighborhood: MiMo | Coconut Grove
Address: 6910 Biscayne Blvd | 3015 Grand Ave #122
Cuisine: Bagel Shop

El Bagel is where you go for hand-rolled bagels and stacked bagel sandwiches. They’re open 8 AM–2 PM (closed Tuesdays), and they sell out often, so the earlier you go, the better. Pre-order if you don’t feel like waiting in line.

It’s also a strong post-workout move when your body is clearly asking for carbs. Grab a dozen to take home or eat outside if the weather permits.

Keep it simple with a salt bagel and scallion cream cheese (vegan option available), or go for the Lox Supreme with locally smoked lox, cucumber, dill, pickled onion, tomato, capers, and cream cheese. The Classic Pastrami with 18-hour smoked pastrami, housemade coleslaw, Swiss, and Thousand Island is another solid order. With locations in MiMo and Coconut Grove (CocoWalk), this is Miami’s favorite bagel shop for a reason.

CASA BAKE


Neighborhood: South Miami
Address: 7165 SW 47th St, Ste 316
Cuisine: French

Casa Bake is a very small, industrial-style French bakery built for grab-and-go. Founded by Benoît Pagliardini, Casa Bake brings classic French pastry craft to Miami and even offers in-person croissant and pastry-making classes if you want to learn the layers yourself.

The move is croissants: plain, ham and cheese, almond, or chocolate. Flaky, buttery, and exactly what you want with your morning coffee. It’s the kind of place where you go in for one and leave with a box. No fluff, just really good laminated dough and technique that speaks for itself. They’re open Tuesday–Friday from 8 am – 4 pm and Saturday–Sunday from 8 am –1 pm.

SESAME BAKERY


Neighborhood: North Miami
Address2211 Sole Mia Sq Ln
CuisineMediterranean, Israeli, French

Sesame Bakery in Miami’s SoLé Mia combines European and French baking with Mediterranean and Israeli flavors. Founded by the team behind Motek and Yalla alongside former Balthazar Bakery head baker Etai Almog, it offers scratch-made breads, pastries, and a full all-day menu.

Go for the Sesame Breakfast (eggs any style, labneh, avocado market salad, sourdough), the everything bagel with Labneh, or the almond croissant. It works for brunch, breakfast with the kids, or a casual coffee with friends. They’re open daily from 8 AM to 5 PM. They are also opening a Midtown location soon.

OPHELIA


Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Address2140 S Dixie Hwy
CuisineAmerican

The most unique bakery concept that is actually an RV. Ophelia Miami opened in Coconut Grove, and it’s from Ana De Sa Martins, the former pastry chef at Michelin-starred Stubborn Seed.

Now baking straight from a mobile kitchen parked at 2140 S Dixie Highway, Ophelia is open Wednesday to Saturday, 8 AM to 1 PM. The menu rotates weekly, but here’s what you should look out for: the banana bread (we’re still thinking about it), chocolate chip, sesame guava cookies, and the Calabrian cheese roll. You’ll also find coffee cinnamon rollsgouda jalapeño scones, and savory breakfast sandwiches on house-made English muffins.

FAÇADE BAKERY


Neighborhood: Coral Gables
Address: 271 Giralda Ave
Cuisine: Seasonal, American

Façade is a neighborhood bakery that brought a little youth back to the Coral Gables dining scene. Bookshelves, a big wooden communal table, a marble bar, and an open space that feels social on purpose.

We go for breakfast. Order the Spicy Onion Toast with caramelized onions, folded eggs, chili oil, and sourdough. The Yogurt Bowl with coconut yogurt, cured papaya, housemade jam and granola, tahini, honey, and marigolds is a lighter move. Dippy Soldiers with two soft-boiled eggs and sourdough make you feel slightly British.

Do not skip the drinks. They’re fun and almost count as their own meal. Try the Tira Missyu Latte with espresso, marigold vanilla syrup, salted soft cream, and cacao powder, or the Corn Flake Matcha with corn milk, marigold vanilla syrup, cold foam, and corn flakes.

Weekends get busy, and there’s usually a line, so go early. No laptops allowed, which we love. This is a spot to actually sit, talk, and be present.
