"If you’re in the mood for a breakfast that involves bread, Caracas always makes sense. The MiMo cafe can get busy on the weekends, but we have never regretted waiting for their excellent mushroom toast. The Venezuelan bakery works well for any and all laidback breakfast plans—and has a takeout-only location in Doral if you happen to be closer to that and want the best cachitos in town." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Ask us to hang out between 8am and 2pm and—even if we don't really like you—we will agree to the plans. Because then we'll have an excuse to go to Caracas Bakery. The things this MiMo cafe does with bread are so wonderful that we'd share a meal here with the world's most annoying person. On the counter are rows of symmetrical danishes and puffy croissants alongside cachitos so supple you’ll have to resist the urge to reach over the sneeze guard and poke one. But Caracas' sandwiches are the highlight of the menu. The jambon beurre and broccoli sandwich make up about 87% of our collective lunch cravings. Luckily this casual cafe, where you’ll inevitably run into at least three people you know, is the kind of place where you’ll want to become a regular." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"If you have to pick between the Caracas Doral, Gables, or MiMo location, go with MiMo. Because this Caracas outpost feels more like a proper cafe, with an expanded menu, sleek dining room, and the same great cachitos. Caracas MiMo's menu includes sandwiches like an excellent BEC on a sweet potato bun, a crispy broccoli and cheese sandwich, jambon beurre, and mushroom toast. It works well for any and all breakfast, brunch, or lunch plans. Just know it gets swamped with the post-farmers market crowd on Saturdays." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"At Caracas Bakery, toast reigns supreme, piled high with everything from creamy avocado and feta to Merguez sausage with harissa mayo and manchego. A B.E.C., a sweet potato bun gets stuffed with scrambled eggs, bacon, and American cheese. Sweet lovers won’t be disappointed — the bakery turns out pastries like banana bread, Nutella cruffins, and apple turnovers." - Eater Staff
"Caracas is ideal for early risers with busy schedules who only have 37 minutes before their company meeting to figure out whether they should remove this match from their dating spreadsheet. You pay upfront and cachitos arrive fast, so if a work emergency or major red flag comes up, you can wrap it up quickly. But don’t come here on a weekend after 10am unless you want your quiet golden hour ruined by a large crowd peacocking between bites of broccoli sandwiches." - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
