If you find yourself craving something sweet over the coming days, treat yourself to some indulgent creations from Miami’s best bakeries and pastry shops. Whether you’re all about fresh-baked cookies, rich, fudgy brownies, fluffy cakes, or frothy pies, you’ll find plenty of options on this list to satisfy your sweet tooth. 

Pamela Wasabi Bakery

For vegan and gluten-free sweets made with natural, plant-based ingredients, add Pamela Wasabi Bakery to your radar. We’re obsessed with her vegan cheesecakes and pies, including her bestselling vegan tiramisu, sugar-free orange and chocolate tart, and elderflower-mango cheesecake. Her Celestial Chunk cookies, peppered with chocolate chips and charcoal salt, and her fudgy gluten-free Mother Bean brownies, are also irresistible.

Zak the Baker 

Though he’s best known for his incredible bread, Zak the Baker’s pastries are just as addictive. His flourless chocolate almond cookie is rich, gooey, and delightfully decadent, his cinnamon rolls and rugalach are flaky, satisfying perfection, and his crumbly blueberry muffins and apple turnovers go great with a bit of piping hot espresso. Order all your favorite Zak the Baker pastries online now for pickup Sunday through Friday from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m., or have them delivered to your home. 

Details: Zak the Baker is located at 295 NW 26th St., Miami, and is currently only open for pickup or delivery. Place an order for takeout online here, or call 305-570-5860, or order delivery via Uber Eats. 

Bachour 

World renown pastry chef Antonio Bachour delivers stunning confectionary creations at his Coral Gables bakery and outpost at Time Out Market on Lincoln Road. Dig into a Bachour Brownie, made with Valrhona and cinnamon caramel, and coated in dark chocolate cocoa nib. Or take a crunchy bite out of a Bachour Rocher, filled with hazelnut praline cremeux and gianduja chocolate ganache. Our current summertime craving, though, is the mango tart, made with coconut cake, mango pastry cream, mango jelly, and coconut ganache.

Details: Bachour has locations in Coral Gables and Miami Beach. Place an order for takeout at their Coral Gables bakery by calling (305) 203-0552, or order delivery via GrubHub, UberEats, Postmates, or DoorDash. 

Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop

This Miami staple offers all kinds of tasty, indulgent treats to satisfy any sweet tooth. Choose one of their iconic pies, which come in flavors like key lime, salted caramel, brownie bomb, and guavaberry. Or go for ooey, gooey guava white chocolate cookies (though the classic sugar and chocolate chip versions are just as heavenly). If you’re a cake lover, their coconut custard, guava coconut rum, and Nutella red velvet are also great options.

B Bistro + Bakery

This Brickell eatery is known for its morning pastries and signature desserts, which range from mini lemon meringue tarts and fluffy macaroons to Nutella croissants, amaretti cookies, and flaky cream-filled cruffins. We especially like their strawberry goat cheese croissant and their fruity Passionata, made with passion fruit mousse, pistachio biscuit, and raspberry. If you’re a chocolate fan, go for the Merlat — it’s a delectable blend of dark chocolate and creme brulee mousse.
