Esther Maria Bakery

The 15 Best Nicaraguan Restaurants In Miami

"This Sweetwater bakery isn’t the type of place where you can grab a table and sit while enjoying baked goods and a cup of coffee. Instead, it runs mostly as a takeout operation and is the go-to source for rich special occasion cakes mounded with sweet frosting in baroque swirls and rosettes. They make a mean tres leches cake. But don’t let that be the only thing you get here. The guava cake is awesome, and highlights the fruit’s subtle tartness while giving the cake a soft pink hue. This bakery is also one of the best places in Miami to get buttery loaves of traditional Nicaraguan pound cake." - carlos c olaechea, virginia otazo
