Zak the Baker
What started as a home bakery has flourished into a full-scale bakeshop in Miami’s most interesting neighborhood. This airy bare-bones space offers a wide range of comforting sweets and trendy dishes (we see you, avo) that highlight seasonal ingredients from surrounding farms, but it’s the bread that steals the show. The toast craze is at an all-time high at this casual lunchy spot, with savory offerings like herring with horseradish aioli, or beet toast with tahini and dill. Throughout the day the bakery turns out loaves like Jewish rye or sunflower, which you will most likely find on your table that evening at various restaurants around Miami. Whether you’re having just a snack or full-on meal, ZTB is an easygoing option that is sure to charm everyone.
PRO TIP: Toast with scallion and chive veggie cream cheese might seem like a “basic” choice, but trust us, it’s not.
THE DETAILS: This spot is closed Saturdays as it’s kosher. Otherwise, it’s open 7 a.m.–5 p.m.
