It’s a small, simply decorated Italian bakery located just a few blocks north of the Adrienne Arsht Theater, and adjacent to the Margaret Pace Park: a great place for a stroll by the sea.Parking however, is difficult to find.The owner comes from the same Italian city where I grew up: they have great bakeries all over the city, therefore I was really excited when I heard that they were opening a bakery in Miami too, and I was looking forward to try them.As soon as you come in (on the 2nd floor) you see a big display full of desserts, panini and pizzas. Everything you see there is homemade, and they also have a very small selection of wine and beers.We were here for lunch: I ordered a “ham and...
I planned to come here for some time, but it was a bit disappointing. I was expecting something more similar to the bakeries Fontanot has in Italy, but it was far from that.They have a few pastries, some sandwiches that however for most part are not particularly “Italian” and you can find in other places; service was okay but somehow the place looked empty, and I don’t mean of people, but of food options.Prices are Miami-downtown prices but without any special reason to repeat the experience. I was definitely expecting more Italian salumi, but there was, little, except for a prosciutto that wasn’t among the best I had.

Beautiful cafe. Fantastic service. Lovely, tasty, delicious food. Croissants and pastries so light and buttery. Everything made in house in own bakery upstairs. Caters for events as well. Karla was wonderful, even able to accomodate coeliacs in the family with freshly made ham/cheese omelette and smoothies with understanding of cross contamination. Also offers great salads and meat and cheese tasting plates. Highly recommend this busy little cafe and bakery!
Ham Cheese was not on a croissant as stated. It was on a hard sesame roll. I would not have ordered this had I known or been informed. The eclair was not fresh. The pate a choux was hard as in days old. The red passion was partially frozen on one and thawed on the other but on that one the sable cookie on the bottom was soggy. Flavor was ok. Obviously not freshly made though. The iced latte and fresh squeezed orange juice were both very good.
