"Casa Bake is the kind of bakery you’d find on a European street by following the irresistible scent of freshly baked bread. It’s takeout only, but you can hang out, sip a latte, and watch the sourdough-scoring and dough-rolling that takes place on a massive wooden table. At $3.50, the South Miami-ish spot has one of the most affordable and delicious plain croissants in town. But their talents go beyond the croissant. They make brioche, milk bread, and even host baking classes to teach you how to do the same. They also make cake versions of pastries like pistachio paris-brest or mille-feuille—you just need to order 24 hours in advance for that." - Mariana Trabanino
