Few things give us more joy in life than biting into a warm and flaky croissant, a chewy cookie or freshly baked bread. Whatever kind of baked goods you’re into, our roundup of the best bakeries in Miami Beach is ready to make all of your carb-loving dreams come true.
Here are Miami Beach’s best bakeries serving an assortment of breads, pastries, cakes, cookies, sandwiches, hot foods and great coffee perfect for breakfast, lunch, brunch or a light bite.
True Loaf Bakery
1894 Bay Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139
Located in the heart of Sunset Harbour, True Loaf is a prime spot for bread, pastries and sandwiches, including one of the best almond croissants in town. Their specialty are the wholesome organic loaves of bread, from multigrain to olive, and from honey oatmeal to cranberry walnut. Our insider tip is to order the fresh-made Morning Buns and Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie. And make sure you don’t miss out on their fresh Challah every Friday. This place can get crowded on weekends, and there’s not much seating but you can order to go and have a picnic at the lovely waterfront park Maurice Gibb Memorial Park just a block away.
Buon Pane Italiano
729 5th St, Miami Beach, FL 33139
Buon Pane is a small, casual Italian bakery in South Beach that we love for a pre- or post- beach snack. The counter offers freshly baked Italian food including pizza, very good panino napoletano, fresh ciabatta and bombolini. It’s all pretty affordable and just five blocks walking distance to the beach.
Maison Valentine
1112 15th St, Miami Beach, FL 33139
Maison Valentine is a French patisserie in South Beach making our favorite French pastries in Miami Beach. They have baguettes and croissants but you come here for the sweet stuff. Their lime green Key West dessert features a pistachio financier, vanilla cream, lemon and white chocolate ganache. They have a display case with the most beautiful shaped pastries and macarons.
Rosetta Bakery
929 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139
1666 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139
This is an Italian café chain whose flagship space is in Miami Beach. At any of the half a dozen locations, you’ll find a similar lineup of super-authentic fare, think strawberry tiramisu, Nutella bomboloni, creamy fruit tarts and filled croissants. Everything is baked by a pastry chef recruited from Italy. You can choose anything from the glass counter on display from sandwiches to pizza, focaccia, sweets and various pastry.
Cachito Coffee and Bakery
1542 Alton Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139
Cachito Coffee and Bakery is an oasis located in the middle of Miami Beach close to the beach. They have the best locally-roasted coffee and freshly made dishes, sandwiches, pastries, tarts and cakes. This place is known for their delicious croissants. Choose from the ham and cheese croissant which is a delicious bite or the sweet Nutella or almond croissant. They also offer empanadas, Cuban sandwiches, smoothies and fresh squeezed juices. Their organic chocolate is imported from Mexico in four flavors: almond, cardamom, cinnamon and mint. This is the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, or a quick bite.
Il Dante Caffe

This Italian café is a hidden gem in plain sight. It’s at the corner of Ocean Drive and 8th Street with a great view of the beach promenade. It’s a tiny little place with indoor seating for about 7-8 people and some outdoor seating. They have a good selection of baked and breakfast items, smoothies, shakes, fresh juices, sandwiches, pastas, paninis and salads, and a large selection of coffee and other beverages.
