    Best tuna melt I've ever had. I prefer takeout here because the inside always feels a little chaotic/loud because it's busy and narrow. Their food is great, though.

    I had very high expectations for Zak the Baker and those expectations were met! After a bit of confusion waiting on line to order, then being told that I should sit at a table, I tried the hibiscus iced tea and the tuna melt. Everything tasted fresh. the bread was fantastic and the ingredients were delicious. It came with a salad on the side that was better than most salads I've had at restaurants. When I left I bought a cinnamon rugaleh " just to try it". Also fantastic. I thought going at the end of the day would leave very little desirable products, but I was wrong. Everything was fantastic.

    We stopped for lunch at Zack the Baker before visiting the Wynwood Walls. We found on street parking just around the corner from Zaks. The indoor seating, which has table service, seemed very loud (but lively) so we opted to eat outdoors. For outdoor seating, you need to order take out and bring it outdoors to the tables they have set up. We ordered Bagel and Lox sandwiches and tap water. I love a place that will serve you tap water with ice to go. The sandwich was truly extraordinary. The bagel and lox were wonderful but the pickled onions and roasted (?) capers are what really made it unique. I also liked that they did not smother it with cream cheese. It also had a slice of tomato. The service was terrific and was happy to give suggestions as we tried to decide what wonderful things we should try from the menu.

    Buzzy spot in Wynwood. Line to sit was long so we opted for takeaway which moved quickly. Extensive baked goods offerings including dairy free/vegan options which I loved! I enjoyed the green juice and the vegan banana bread. Olive oil cake was also good with a good crumb but I prefer olive oil cakes with a bit more citrus flavor and less frosting

    Everything good you've read about Zak the Baker is true! Really great food and service all around. Although, we were a bit late to our 9am reservation (the lady in the front made sure we knew we were 10-12 minutes late) we were seated right away. Love the open kitchen/bakery layout. Kind of cool that you can watch them turn dough into goodness! Our waitress was super chill & helpful. Just a head's up, this is a kosher restaurant/bakery. We opted for the French Toast [$18] & it was divine. My mouth is watering as I remember how good it was. Came with fresh blueberries along with two really thick slices. The cream was really light & the filling was soooo good. Did not need syrup, although I'm sure if syrup was used it'd just enhance it. That dish alone deserves a 5/5! Yes, it's shareable, so get your best buddies in here and try it! Also got the Nova Bagel [$16] on an Everything Bagel, of course from their own bakery. Really good choice as the salmon was plentiful and suuuper fresh. Got a side of scrambled eggs [$4] which could feed a village and was surprisingly really tasty. Typically, a side of eggs is bland, but nope, not here at Zak the Baker. Got their two most popular pastries to go & both lived up to the hype as well [$5.50 Almond Croissant & $5.00 for the Pain Au Chocolate] Just really pleased with this place. Make a reservation if you can, this restaurant is crazy busy! Loved that we did not feel rushed though.

    I've loved this bakery since it first started. The food is always delicious and fresh. The service is excellent One thing that can be improved on is the wait time for to go beverages, you have to wait while in house orders are filled, we waited about 20 minutes for a matcha latte; a take out only beverage station would be nice. But the bread and pastries we picked up were so good! The restaurant is always busy and loud, I love it!!

    Pretty disappointing experience and should have done my homework instead of assuming I could get a bakery item by walking in. If you order at their counter, it's only for bakery items and drinks. A bagel with cream cheese is considered a kitchen item, so you wouldn't be able to order this (we waited in a 30 min line and only until we got to the counter they said that). 9:00 on a Sunday and there was already a 50 minute wait time even though there were open tables around. The line to order at the counter was all over the place. Would order ahead online and just do pickup. The cinnamon roll was tasty though, but waiting in that long of a queue was really not worth it.

    Rugelach... so good
    Suzy B.

    I really lucked out and got there after the mad lunch rush ... it was around 330pm, lucky me! I have been here before, but never left a review... today's the day! Brian was my server and he was very friendly and professional and made me feel comfortable while dining alone in a VERY crowded restaurant. Typically lines are out the door here. I ordered the "unassuming" tuna melt sandwich which features tuna salad with tarragon and cranberries, sharp cheddar cheese, heirloom tomatoes, pressed on their signature country sourdough bread. OMG.... It was so warm & crispy, and OK, I'll say it, best tuna melt I have ever had. I paired it with their amazing lemonade and I just enjoyed my solo lunch. I ate inside this time. Typically there's a line out the door. There's also some seating outside, but this day it was raining. Since this is a bakery, how could I not try the rugelach? I haven't had rugelach this good since I made it from a recipe from Hebrew School decades ago. They're super authentic and 10/10. I also bought an almond croissant for tomorrow .... I had reached capacity ! And Brian, thank you again for the great service. Don't sleep on this Miami staple. The food is heavenly good and I wish I lived closer. Zak, if you're reading this review, please open up a NYC or NJ location!

    came here on a Friday with my wife after walking around wynwood and honestly was not expecting much. glad I was wrong lol. got the challah, tuna melt, and a coffee and just sat outside for like an hour. sandwich was thick, fresh, didn't fall apart which sounds like a low bar but you'd be surprised. Challah is homemade and you can tell. also grabbed a rugelach on the way out and ate it in the car immediately so that should tell you something. the people working there were normal and nice, no attitude, just friendly. place gets busy but it didn't feel chaotic or anything. pretty relaxed actually. the spot itself is cool, very wynwood, big open space with good light. doesn't feel touristy even though I'm sure tons of tourists go there. anyway yeah. good food, good vibes, fair prices. will keep going back whenever I'm in the area. one of those places you're just glad exists

    I have heard so many good things about Zak The Baker over the years but after trying Zak The Baker for the first time, I honestly don't see what the hype was about. I'll go into more details below: I went to Zak The Baker for a weekday lunch and was seated with minimal wait. It took a few minutes for a server to greet me and the service was overall pretty cold. The restaurant has a mandatory 18% service charge and the staff didn't seem to care about providing good service because the gratuity was already tacked on to the bill. I ordered a Cold Brew Coffee ($5.50) to start. The coffee was good and locally brewed in Miami. The server advised they only have Whole, Almond, and Oat milk for creamer, pretty limited in my opinion for the cost of the coffee. For food, I loved the variety of fresh and locally grown items. I wanted to get the Caesar Salad but add a protein, and the server advised they can't add proteins to the salad because "they are a fully Kosher kitchen and restaurant" and he seemed to get an attitude about it. The restaurant doesn't advertise themselves as being a fully Kosher restaurant or I would have never come here as I don't have a need to pay a premium to dine at a fully Kosher restaurant. The server advised the only protein they could provide was Salmon and it would be prepared on a separate plate. So I opted on spending less and getting the Tomato Bisque and Grilled Cheese ($15). The tomato bisque was really good, the sandwich was average and the servers completely disappeared after my food arrived and I left as soon as I flagged someone down for my check. My stomach was messed up later in the day after my meal so I'm not really sure about their food preparation at the restaurant and won't go back.

    We love bread so we had to see what the hype was for Zak and it was not disappointing, everything tasted very good and came in warm. The desserts are amazing as well and so is everything we got. I wish the portions would be bigger but you still get a good fill from it. Definitely order a loaf of bread especially the sourdough, we got a seat next to the workers making bread and it was so interesting to see all the bread being made !

    I had heard that this bakery makes its bread fresh every day, so I was excited to try it. I ordered a latte and a chocolate croissant. The latte was good, but the croissant was just okay neither great nor bad. I did appreciate that it had a generous amount of chocolate, though. Overall, the experience was average.

    Anyone know if they stopped takeout? Last two sundays I've checked their ordering site and it has been closed. Is it temporary or the new rule?

    6/27: Just ordered a large order from the website for pickup/takeout.. However, definitely recommend to double check your order before leaving so you don't end up having to come back like we did.

    Will you be selling KFP desserts?

    Are they dog friendly ? What about a emotional support dog?

    I go to Zack often and have seen people with emotional support dogs on occasion. I guess they are allowed.

    Are there two locations? Or is this the wrong address?

    They moved to the corner on the same street one block over! You cannot miss it!

I really loved the tree aesthetic that looked like an old tree that was growing from the corners of the rooms up the wall and across the ceiling. I wasn't able to catch our server's name however they were very well knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. We decided to do several apps versus getting individual meals as this restaurants theme is to have shareable plates. So many dishes, got the French and Turkish oven pita. Both were good and had different highlights. Loved the gold scissors provided to cut strips for sharing. Classic hummus which had to have been the smoothest hummus I've ever had. Zucchini Latkes were one of my favorite along with the Cauliflower. The seasoning on this was amazing, a bit sweet, and crispy outside. Crispy artichoke I could have done without. It was kinda like eating rice paper, odd texture. Had to try the baklava for dessert along with the pistachio cheesecake and the vanilla, mango and Nutella gelato. Nutella was my favorite. I'd keep on the short list next time I'm in the area.
