I would gladly take off a star because of how claustrophobic this place could be, and how…read moredisorganized everything is. Nothing is labeled, the place is cramped, half of the display faces the street, the other half is inside the bakery. It is a royal mess. But if I were to focus on this, I may be called a diva. On to the good stuff: the breads are amazing, the cookies are amazing, the pastries are amazing, and the staff is extremely nice. If it wasn't for the staff, this place could be overlooked. Note: we ate some things without taking pictures, they looked so good we couldn't wait.

I was in the Miami area to check out the art installation at Faena Beach for Miami Art Week…read more Whenever I'm in the area, I always check bookmarked spots I want to check out. Decided to hit up True Loaf which was close by. True Loaf is located in Sunset Harbor next to Tequiztlan Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar. Also two spots down from Maman which is one of my fave bakeries. I stopped into True Loaf to scope out their selections. The young lady at the front was nice, I didn't get her name. This spot is more of a bakery with a huge kitchen area and limited space to order or sit. They had a few patio tables outside but no sitting area inside. Quick order and go kind of space. They had a display of food options in the front window and ordering area. I also didn't see a menu or labels for the pastries so it was hard to decide what I wanted. I was going by visuals of what they still had available. I ended up getting a canelé. And let me tell you, they made a quite perfect canelé with the crispy exterior and custardy interior. Each canelé costs $5. I knew a nice bakery like this would make a good canelé. You can just tell. I would come back to try some of the other items including the croissants, sandwiches, basque cheesecake and pastries! Cute spot. Happy I found this.

I hate leaving bad reviews, but this one didn't sit right with me. Paid $24 for breakfast (not…read moreincluding tip) and just didn't sit right for me to pay that much and not love it. I'm not usually picky about eggs at all, but these were undercooked, actually ended up leaving most of them, which is rare for me. The bread came out dry too, no butter, no oil, had to ask for it separately, which shouldn't even be a thing at this price point. Overall, just a very mediocre breakfast for something that ended up being around $20+. The pastries actually looked really good, but I didn't have any more funds to try them after already spending that much on eggs and a coffee. Only thing that saved it a bit was the coffee, it was good but very disappointed on paying that much for the breakfast I had. Not the worst meal I've had, but definitely not worth what I paid.

Cindy Lou's Cookies is the delicious creation of Chef Cindy Kruse, a pastry chef with more than 20…read moreyears of experience creating exceptional desserts. After earning a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from Boston University and studying at The Culinary Institute of America, Cindy joined the opening team at Wolfgang Puck's Spago in Las Vegas in 1992. Throughout her impressive career, she has worked alongside renowned chefs including Emeril Lagasse, Charlie Trotter, Charlie Palmer, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten. In 2003, she co-created desserts for the Emmy Awards and later served as Executive Pastry Chef at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach before leading dessert production at Barton G. She has been recognized in publications such as Wine Spectator, Gourmet, People, and Pastry Arts Magazine. Chef Kruse began baking her iconic oversized cookies full-time out of a garage in Coconut Grove in 2012. Five years later, she opened the first Cindy Lou's Cookies bakery in Miami's Little River neighborhood, where she continues to bake treats while also supplying local businesses and restaurants. Parking is available in the lot just south of the building, next door to Vegan Cuban Cuisine. The moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by the most incredible aroma of freshly baked cookies and desserts. I received a warm welcome from the staff and was well taken care of throughout my visit with samples and suggestions. Choosing what to order is no easy task. The display is filled with tempting cookies, bread pudding, cake slices, sweet breads, Rice Krispie treats, mini pies, and other irresistible desserts. I thought I had already made up my mind, but then they started offering samples, which completely changed my decision. In addition to their regular menu, they feature rotating seasonal and limited-time specials. They also serve coffee which is the perfect partner to their rich desserts. I ended up with the Coconut Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookie, the White Chocolate Macadamia Cookie, and the Toffee Bread Pudding. Before visiting Cindy Lou's, bread pudding wouldn't have even made my list of top ten desserts. After just one bite, I had to order it. It was rich, buttery, moist, and unforgettable. The cookies were equally impressive, thick, soft, loaded with flavor, and easily among the best I've ever had. They are on an entirely different level from the typical commercial cookie chains. Thank goodness Cindy Lou's Cookies isn't closer to where I live, or I'd probably be diabetic. However I'll definitely be stopping back the next time I'm in the area. After all, a balanced diet is one cookie in each hand!

We also happened to come in on a happy hour on a Saturday after an art walk through Little Haiti, and the wine was very fairly priced. It was also super lively and a really fun atmosphere. The service was on the slower side but the owner made up for it with charm and they also were understaffed for such a large event due to extraneous reasons.

I ordered their pan con tortilla and it was very good. My son had their pan con bistec and let me tell you it had more flavor than the ones at bigger chain restaurants.
