Located in the heart of Sunset Harbour, True Loaf Bakery is a prime spot for bread, pastries and sandwiches. Schnur’s insider tip is to order the fresh-made Morning Buns and Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies. And make sure you don’t miss out on their fresh Challah every Friday.

More than just a bakery, B Bistro offers a delicious sit-down brunch featuring the classics and more. Schnur’s go-to orders for brunch are the Pastelito Pancakes, the Cruffin—specifically the special Unicorn filled with pastel cream and a fondant horn—or any of their fresh-baked croissants. If pastries are not your thing, B Bistro also offers an assortment of salads and other elevated breakfast dishes.

Zak the Baker

Having made quite the name for himself in the Miami scene, Zak the Baker is the best for all things pastries and bread.

Schnur recommends the Salmon Reuben, served on the bakery's classic, Sourdough Jewish Rye bread.
