OhEmmGeee. I know Miami is fully in its coffee shop moment and some are definitely better than others, but I really, really loved Baker & Barista. Nestled just on the outskirts of the Design District, this adorable little spot feels effortlessly neighborhood-y, with an eclectic mix of design professionals, joggers, and Miami moms out for a stroll with their kids. I happened to arrive just before the lunch rush (YAY!), meeting a prospective donor who suggested it since she lives nearby. The moment you walk in, you're hit with a beautiful vitrine of pastries and baked goods, honestly stunning, followed by that rich coffee aroma that pulls you all the way in. I was starving and absolutely over-ordered: a caprese sandwich (very good), a blood orange tart (spectacular!!!), and a chocolate chip cookie to take home (good, but not life-changing). My black coffee was solid, but what really stood out was the service. Genuinely warm, attentive, and consistent, from the register to the floor. You can feel it. Safe to say, I've found my new go-to for coffee meetings in the area & hopefully they have those Blood Orange pastries available again! read more

Phenomenal local spot with some of the best focaccia I've tried in a while! I came on Saturday for a quick coffee and couldn't resist ordering their olive and rosemary focaccia bread freshly baked and still warm -- it was out of this world. I also got to try their cinnamon roll which is a classic, made to perfection. It was so good I couldn't even share it! The spot is small but warm and cozy and the service is lovely and homey, highly recommend! read more

Umm..super mid to me. The cinnamon roll just didn't stand out. It wasn't bad by any means but I am in no rush to come back. The matcha was decent but could be sweeter. Happy I tried it! read more

Decided to try a new place today. Especially after I saw a post about the cardamon buns. Well it was meh. The shop is very small inside. Very. So I would take my items to go instead of staying. They do have two tables in there but they have signs next to them that say it's for 2+ guests. The woman at the counter wasn't friendly at all. Like when you tell someone it's your first time there you might get suggestions or something, she just stared. Okay cool. I don't want the red carpet to be rolled out but just a little friendliness, ya know? I ordered one of the "frittatas", olive oil cake and a hot chocolate. The hot chocolate came out Luke warm and asked for the cake to be heated up and it wasn't but that's fine. The food actually tasted good. It was just the woman behind the counter just threw the whole vibe off for me . Now did I get the cardamon buns that drew me in? No. Because if I don't feel valued as a customer , why would I spend more money? So would I go out the way to go here again? Nope. If I was near by? Meh. read more

I had seen this spot all over social media. I knew that I had to try it out. It is next to the design district . As soon as you walk in you notice how small the place is. Limited seating. It was busy with a line. I ordered the cold brew with coconut cold foam and banana bread. The coffee was okay. The banana bread was not that tasty. I spefically came for the cinnamon roll that was sold out. Overall it's a decent cafe . But I expected more. Prices are typical prices for a trendy cafe in Miami. High. Service- Had to wait a while for the order. read more

Baker and Barista is just as cute as you see in all the TikToks! The store is very simple and modern, service was good and quick. The pizza was delicious!! crust was crispy and cheese was salty and perfectly golden. The spinach and feta pastry was very flaky and flavorful. Spinach tasted fresh and herby, not like the one you buy in a bag. Coffee was good, a little bitter. Matcha was okay but it wasn't ceremonial grade matcha, like a 6/10, it was okay for a cafe matcha. Very yummy, would love to come back and try more items :) read more

Baker and Barista is such a sweet little spot. I ordered the banana bread, the pumpkin cardamom cake, a matcha latte & an americano and everything was delicious. I have been here a few times now & every single thing I try is always on point. Their matcha is honestly one of the best I have had in Miami. It is a small cafe so it can get busy pretty fast & there is no WiFi, so it is not really a remote work place, but it is perfect for unplugging with a good coffee & a pastry. It is cute, cozy & definitely worth a visit! read more

10/10 favourite bakery and neighborhood coffee shop in Miami!! We love their matcha latte with honey and oat milk, which is super creamy and the right amount of sweetness without being too sugary (easily our favorite in the city). They also have the absolute best bakery and pastry items! Their chocolate hazelnut croissants are elite!! They definitely sell out of those quickly and make a limited amount. Ambiance is very cute but not a great place to bring a laptop to work since they don't have WiFi and it's pretty small inside. read more

Things I tried: Sourdough cinnamon roll - easily one of the best if the not the best cinnamon roll I've had - so good I wish they would mail order them through Goldbelly Sun-dried tomato, pesto, feta "danish" - had that splendid croissant flaky texture with plenty of filling - loved the Italian influence Almond butter & Jam sourdough toast - childhood nostalgia in this one! Loved the from scratch quality of this toast but it was on the firmer side, specially after I traveled a few hours back home and left it in its box on my countertop overnight. I should've plastic film wrapped the box for next day consumption. I'd re-order and recommend any of the baked goods I tried but would most feel inclined towards the cinnamon roll and pesto, sun-dried tomato and feta croissant. Campfire Sweet & Smoky latte - I was eager to try something I never had before until I did. The bakery is very specific as to only preparing hot coffee with this syrup so I ordered as they recommended. It comes sprinkled with black salt. As I drank it I only tasted coffee and oatmilk until I drank more than half of it and then the syrup hit me. The weight of the syrup kept it all in the bottom of the cup so the flavor wasn't infused throughout the latte. If I tried this latte again, I'd make sure to take one of their wooden stirrers and stir away before sipping and if that isn't doing it for me, I'd order the latte with both the sweet & smoky syrup they make it with in addition to either vanilla or mocha. I just know I didn't experience it as it was meant to be. I'm glad that the bakery also does rewards points for purchases if you register. All in all, I'd both recommend and re-visit baker and barista when visiting Miami. Also, they are cashless for payments. read more

Baker And Barista - Sweet & smoky latte topped with black salt - make sure you stir well - Bakeries Near Me - Miami, Florida

I came in early on a Saturday morning hoping to snag a cinnamon roll, but to my surprise they don't serve them until after 10:30am. That feels a little late if you're looking for something sweet with your morning coffee. Instead, I ordered the veggie frittata, a chocolate almond croissant, and an almond milk latte. The latte was lukewarm at best (I ended up reheating it at home), and the frittata was just okay. The bottom layer had a spongey, oddly spiced texture that wasn't my favorite. The croissant was the best of the bunch: good, but nothing I'd go out of my way for. Prices weren't unreasonable; with tip, my total was $24 for three items. Ambience-wise, I can't speak too much since I was there at 8:15am when it was nearly empty. The space itself is open enough for a quick grab-and-go, though I could see it feeling crowded later in the day. Personally, I prefer not to fight for space when I'm just trying to enjoy a coffee. Overall: not terrible, not amazing, just middle of the road. I wish I had known about the cinnamon roll timing ahead of time because I probably would have skipped the trip rather than spend it on mediocre pastries. read more

Baker and barista is one of our favorite Saturday morning early morning stops. We come from broward every few weeks to enjoy their delicious cinnamon rolls. They're breakfast, coffee and take a sourdough home. Everything goes quickly so make sure to wake up early to catch the goodies read more

Coconut cold brew is a must order! It was perfect Their drinks are some of the bets I've had in Miami and their pastries were also great, sourdough cinnamon roll and banana bread were not overwhelmingly sweet read more

Sweet coffee shop and bakery. This is a small shop close to the design district. They have some good selection of pastries - chocolate/almond croissants, sourdough cinnamon rolls, savory pastries and pizza too. They also have Coffee & tea choices as well. The staffs or owners? there are lovely - so friendly and nice. I had a matcha and berry tart that has a short bread consistency, it was pretty good 8/10. Matcha was good 8/10. NE 2nd Ave is a cute street to walk down on and surrounding neighborhood has lots to explore. Overall lovely place, I'd like to come back when I'm in town next. read more

This is hands down the BEST bakery in all of South Florida! We have visited many bakeries throughout the area and none compare to this. The staff is nice and friendly and all of their baked goods are exceptional! The chocolate almond croissants are my all time favorite but all of the other pastries are top notch. read more

The coffee is pretty good here as well as the matcha. I can tell they use higher quality beans. The breads were good too! The pizza bread was a bit too salty and cheesy for us, but the focaccia was delicious! I will say it's on the pricier side so be prepared to spend some money. read more

Such a wonderful experience here! Run to the whipped coconut cold brew..it tastes like a coconut milkshake! The barista was very friendly and the woman at the register was helpful. I also tried their chocolate chip cookie sprinkled with sea salt. Their sourdough margherita is delicious and they warm it up for you! They were out of the breads and alot of the pastries so you just come early! I liked sitting at the barstools near the window. Just wish the scenery was better! All in all great experience. read more

Been a long time fan of their work, from mortadella sandwiches to their whipped coconut cream iced coffee and the crippling shakerato addiction I fight daily. I love this place! Their sourdough cinnamon rolls are the best in the city. No wifi, not that type of place and that's perfect for a neighborhood gem. The owners take pride in their work and it shows. read more

I didn't find this worth the raving reviews. The Cafe con Panna was tasty. My matcha smelled like seaweed and tasted kind of gross. The banana bread was reeeeally dense and kind of dry. The chocolate hazelnut croissant was fine. I was expecting more than what we got. We also were charged $6 for a glass bottle of OJ. Absurd. It's small in there and not the most stroller friendly. There was a lady picking up her ham and cheese croissant and very rudely told the server "I cannot get through" (with major attitude) because our stroller was blocking the tight hallway where the pickup and cashier was. I almost turned around to say "you can say excuse me." They have their pastries on display and everything looked good. Just not worth the hype I've been seeing. read more

I flew into Florida really looking forward to trying these cardamom buns. Unfortunately, the experience was a huge letdown. When I got to the counter and asked for five, the cashier told me they only allow two per person. I explained that my family: 2 kids and wife was back at the hotel, and I had also promised one to my Uber driver who had been kind enough to wait. Instead of showing a little understanding, she insisted my driver come inside just to buy two more -- in front of a full line of customers. It was unnecessarily awkward and honestly disappointing. I wasn't trying to get around a policy, I was just trying to treat my family and a kind stranger. Instead, I walked out embarrassed and frustrated, with three buns and a bad taste before even trying them. I came here expecting great pastries and good people. The pastries might be good -- I'll never know -- but the service made me lose all interest. Sometimes, a little empathy goes further than any pastry ever could. And this is so sad because the buns actually Looked good. read more

Came by the Baker and Barista recently. It's located right by the Miami Design District. It's a small and quaint shop with lots of pastries, some sandwiches, and sourdough pizza. Various coffee options as well. Staff were kind and provided recommendations. We ordered a flat white, a sourdough cheese slice, and a cinnamon roll. The flat white was a bit bitter unfortunately and had a lot of milk. So I'd definitely try another drink next time! The cinnamon roll was pretty tasty but a little bit dry. Still very enjoyable in the parts that had icing. It was also a good portion to share! Lastly, the sourdough cheese slice was pretty good. Fresh tasting. I added hot honey and chili flakes when I got home and it really brought out more flavor. Definitely would come back to try other items on the menu. Cute shop with nice decor! A great find by the design district. read more

Coffee - 4.5 Service - 5 Ambiance - 5 Price quality ratio - 5 Located just a few blocks north of the design district right on NE 2nd Ave, heading to the Buena Vista neighborhood. A good option to get some caffeine for sure. I love the store modern touch and vibes. Service was the highlight for me, they are really attentive, I'm a truly believer of first impressions matter. Really appreciate that which sometimes is missing in Miami. Let's go to the most important thing : the coffee. It's strong and bold. I wished it was more lighter/acidic and hotter, it's a personal preference. But overall it was pretty good. They have a pastries selection which looks fresh and yummy. I didn't have any (watching my calories :) ), I will next time I'm back though. Enjoy! read more

I have to update this review because I am now at minimum a weekly pastry and matcha latte purchaser. And when I say weekly, I buy minimum 4 pastries a week. I cannot get enough of these croissants, cookies, cakes, and pizzas. They are also so so nice here - the vibes are lovely both from an ambience perspective and a people perspective. It's not a "cheap" bakery, but it's worth every dollar because it's made with love and also flawless technique. I have no notes on anything I eat here. Eat everything here. The end. read more

Cute bakery that recently opened, very cute ambiance and the baked goods looked amazing. I went with a cold brew but should have gotten an iced americano.

Stumbled upon this gem with my colleagues for coffee. Besides the intimate location, the food looked fresh and well prepared. But first, coffee.

A favorite local spot. Everything here is freshly baked and feels like a family every time you walk in. One of the best additions to the neighborhood! I love the matcha, coffees, and sourdough.

This coffee and bakery spot was intricately adorable and had great tasting coffee and food. The iced latte was delicious with high quality espresso( although no flavor shot options) and the apple cider was a unique and different product offering. We got the turkey and cheese sandwich as well and although the barista seemed to forget to warm it up, the sandwich was still a tasty snack and the bread freshly baked. Would go back to try the cinnamon roll. read more

I almost don't want to write a review because I want to keep it a little secret!!! This is by faaaaaar the most amazing, artisan bakery in the Miami area. The experience starts with being greeted by an incredibly friendly staff to just the perfect variety of baked goods, and ends with very good coffee. We have gotten the zaatar egg pastry (flawless flakiness and flavor), the Crostata (ratio of buttery crust to filling was what we call ideal). Still dying to get our hands on the cinnamon roll, unfortunately we can never get there after 1030. Planning on going here every weekend before the tourists find out. (We love our TrueLoaf but this is worth us crossing the bridge =)) Hoping for some sinlge-origin espresso shots or coffee pairings in the near future =D read more

The pizzas are solid and it's the best iced mocha I've ever had. Cute little spot away from the madness of Miami.

This is one of those places that you love so much, you fear it disappearing. The baker and barista are both fantastic, I used to go for just a cappuccino-- they make the best proper cappuccino in Miami-- until the barista insisted I try their sourdough bread. I politely declined on two separate occasions, but when I finally tried it, because the baker brought it out to me to make a point, I was not only charmed, but delighted. I not only love their cappuccinos, sourdough bread, and unbelievable sourdough cinnamon roll (I mean honestly, these things are the stuff of dreams), but I love their personalities and energy. Miami is lucky to have these two (and their team). read more
