"When we stepped inside the small Venezuelan bakery, we took a deep breath, and said, “One of everything, please.” Was it a little excessive? Yes. But at least we can confidently say that everything here is great. The sweet and savory croissants are flaky perfection, as are the danishes. And we wholeheartedly endorse the pan de queso, which is a thick loaf of bread stuffed edge to edge with a big block of cheese. The only thing they were out of during our visit were the cachitos, though we have a feeling those too would have been pure deliciousness—like literally everything else we encountered here." - Ryan Pfeffer
"The see-and-be-seen meter turns up to 11 on Saturdays. That’s when the overflow crowd from the nearby Legion Park Farmers Market cap their cute little Saturday mornings by standing in line for pastries. If you join them, you’ll probably end up taking your cachito to go due to lack of seating—but not before you exchange pleasantries with at least two people you know, three you kind of know, and four you have never met, yet know intimately because you’ve consumed four hours of their Instagram stories. Something to impress Joe (just in case)" - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, julia malave
"This second location (the original is in Doral and a third recently opened in Coral Gables) can quickly become habit-forming. Coffee, in all its iterations, is always perfectly prepared, plus there is the bonus of pastries like Nutella cruffin and palmeritas (elephant ears) that pair nicely. Beyond traditional Venezuelan cachitos (warm dough filled with ham, cheese, or both), there’s a breakfast menu that includes an egg sandwich made with soft scrambled eggs tucked inside an extra flaky croissant and salmon toast." - Alona Martinez
"Considered one of the nation's best bakeries, Caracas Bakery in Miami serves savory pastries like the cachito, filled with ham and cheese." - Eater Staff
"The best part of a soup is getting to dip toasted bread into it. And the broccoli sandwich from Caracas Bakery MiMo applies this logic by turning broccoli cheese soup into a sandwich. Charred florets peek out from within, held together by melted white cheddar, mozzarella, and sun-dried tomato pesto. Of course you’ll love this if you’re in the broccoli cheese soup fan club. But what’s most impressive about this sandwich is the way it instantly wins over someone (us) who has no particularly strong feelings about the vegetable at all. “And I don’t even like broccoli,” is an actual quote we’ve heard uttered by someone (us) staring lovingly at their half-eaten sandwich." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
