The Best Bakeries in Miami

If you’re in the mood for a fresh loaf of bread, Zak the Baker loaves can be found fresh throughout several Whole Foods locations in Miami. However, if you want to visit the café for a delicious sit-down meal, you have to visit the Zak the Baker (kosher) café in Wynwood.
