"Mary Ann Bakery is a Cantonese-style bakery and North Miami institution that’s been around for decades. Almost everything here is delicious. However, their savory baked buns are always worth the detour for me, and I’ve been known to plan trips around a stop here. The char siu bao is excellent and features a fluffy, slightly sweet dough filled with chopped Chinese barbecue pork. The curry beef bun is another must - the sweet dough is a perfect vehicle for the spicy ground beef filling that’s always super moist - and the chicken pie is like a miniature, handheld chicken pot pie with the flakiest, most buttery crust imaginable. The staff is super friendly and is always willing to answer any questions. And if you end up loving this place as much as we do, you can even order your next birthday cake from here, with layers of sponge cake sandwiching whipped cream and fresh fruit." - Carlos C Olaechea, Ryan Pfeffer
