Sesame Bakery

I’ve been there twice and both time have been an absolute delight! All the dishes are a 10/10 (especially the pastries). Service is good, they are always super busy but still very attentive. You can’t go wrong with this place! Perfect spot for brunch.

They forgot to place the order for the bagel until we asked for it. Many tables were dirty. I understand that the restaurant was busy before we arrived, but no one from the team was helping each other out. The food was good, and the coffee was super good, but they should add more team members.

Went here on a Saturday for brunch. It was packed!!! Although packed, he didn’t mind sitting at a high top inside and were sat right away. The decor and ambiance of this hidden gem was great!! Food…even better. When ordering there were two coffee drinks that I tried to order and both were not available which was disappointing. Third option that was recommended by the waitress did not disappoint. I had the Tuna Melt and it was amazing. Try out this gem! Valet parking only.

The café is cozy and wonderful, offering a warm and welcoming ambiance. The linguini entrée was delicious but a bit small in portion. That said, the server was generous and graciously offered a complimentary in-house pastry, which added a thoughtful and memorable touch to the experience.

I visited this lovely bakery yesterday and was absolutely blown away! I tried five different pastries, and every single one was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. My favourite is pistachio cube croissant! The staff is welcoming and kind, making the whole experience even better. A special shoutout to Antonella - she is amazing! So warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about what she does. Can’t wait to come back and try more treats. Highly recommend!

Overall, I really enjoyed it—the food was absolutely delicious, the place and the location were beautiful, and everything was tastefully designed. The desserts, in particular, were incredibly tasty! However, we did experience some issues with the service. We had to wait a very long time for our table because, despite putting our names on the waitlist, they claimed they couldn’t find us—even though we were waiting at the café’s small tables and had informed them where we’d be. Once seated, we waited a long time for the menu and eventually had to grab it ourselves. What surprised us most was when a staff member took a half-finished glass of water from a neighboring table and dumped it on the ground right next to us, which splashed water onto my backpack. Our waitress was very sweet, but the rest of the staff left us disappointed.

What are spectacular bakery and the food was delicious. I think the chef did a great job and the baker but however, the service was awful. I’m directing this review to the Manager . Please improve your servers. It took the servers 20 minutes for us to just order our food and we were sitting outside and then when we finished the food, we went inside to order tiramisu croissants to go and the cashier took 20 minutes just to get the bake off the shelf that’s insane. Either they need to hire more servers or get better servers.

Overall, it’s a great place. The bagel is excellent, and I’d definitely give it 5 stars. The cube croissant was visually appealing, but it wasn’t quite as good as I had hoped. The pistachio cream was a bit disappointing. It didn’t look very authentic and seemed a bit too commercial typically Miami style. I wish you had used better pistachios to make it. This is just my opinion, but I’ll definitely be back for the bagel.

In town visiting family, Sesame happens to be across the street from where we are staying and near several residential mid rise and high rise buildings Sesame is known for their bakery and several months ago opened for lunch and breakfast, hours are 8am to 5pm This was our second visit for lunch and both times lunch was excellent. Today we ate al fresco but there is ample space inside if that is your preference. The offerings are one full page of selections which is plenty as it's diverse and all well executed. We ordered the tuna melt which came on Sesame"s home baked baguette with melted mozzarella and the tuna salad included roasted tomatos, cucumbers and dried cranberries.. Our second order was the Mezze sampler which includes babaganoush , matbucha, labneh, house pickles and picked carrots and a sesame baguette. The two items were plenty for 2 to share and neither of us left hungry Final thoughts as good as food at a restaurant can be the meal can be tainted by poor service . NOT the case at Sesame as both times we've eaten here service was excellent and this time Sol was our server and she provided top notch service with a smile

My review is based solely on staff interaction, not the food (which is delicious, by the way). I called ahead to check if there was a waitlist, but the person who answered said she couldn't tell me because she was in the back room. Instead of transferring me to the front or checking with staff, she simply said she was unsure. When I arrived to pick up my order, I asked two gentlemen near the coffee area if the outdoor tables were available for takeout customers. They looked at each other, laughed, and said, "We don't know." Does anyone at this restaurant know anything? It's disappointing to ask basic questions and get no clear answers. Better staff communication and training would go a long way in improving the experience.

Aambiance is great lots of people lively outdoor seating really cool, they have plenty of options this time i went for a hot drink This cozy Israeli coffee shop offers a delightful mix of strong, aromatic coffee and fresh, flaky pastrie from croissant to coffee , A charming spot for a quick pick-me-up or a leisurely treat! The matcha wasn't that great so as far as the flavor didint like the drink would try to improve in the flavor, but the place is well located and full of people i would give it another chance to try their salads, perfect place for a sunday brunch spot

One word: wow! I've been on the hunt for a spot like this for a while, and when I saw the vibe and food on Instagram, plus my sister recommending it, we knew we had to check it out. Sesame, located in North Miami, is absolutely stunning. The exterior and interior are both gorgeous, such a perfect blend of colors and a really inviting atmosphere. As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the staff and immediately drawn to the beautifully presented pastries. It was hard to choose, but we ended up getting the sesame breakfast, the mezze sampler, challah bread and for pastries. We opted for their almond croissant, and the Vanilla flan croissant and the bread pudding pastry. To drink, I had the lavender Ube latte which is literally my two favorite flavors in one and my sister opted for the rose latte. Everything was as fresh and delicious as it looked. I've seen plenty of pictures online, but the real deal did not disappoint. I've been searching for a bakery with fresh goods, and I've found my new favorite spot. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out. You'll get a beautiful, aesthetic atmosphere, amazing food, and fantastic service, all in one. Highly recommend!

Quality bagel and breakfast, nice clean place playing soft house music ...I recommend the smoked salmon bagel ...everything looks good here

What are spectacular bakery and the food was delicious. I think the chef did a great job and the baker but however, the service was awful. I'm directing this review to the Manager . Please improve your servers. It took the servers 20 minutes for us to just order our food and we were sitting outside and then when we finished the food, we went inside to order tiramisu croissants to go and the cashier took 20 minutes just to get the bake off the shelf that's insane. Either they need to hire more servers or get better servers. The ambiance was beautiful outside and inside

A little piece of dessert heaven - went for coffee and a sweet treat. Will be going back for some lunch. The coffee was great and the dessert even better! Beautiful location - has seating inside and outside.

Wow wow I have been wanting to try this place. I was there when they opened so they were putting out all the fresh baked goods. The place is spotless and cutely decorated with tons of seating inside and out. I got a flat white and a pistachio cookie. I want to go in for food they don't serve till 9 am and I got there at 8 am. Next time!

Sesame has a unique and trendy vibe, drawing a lively crowd, especially on weekends. It's clearly a popular spot, as the place was bustling during my visit. One downside is that it gets very packed, and I'm not sure if they offer reservations, which could make the wait frustrating if you're not prepared. Unfortunately, the service left a bit to be desired. After being seated, it felt like we were forgotten. To make matters worse, the table seated next to us after we arrived received their orders and food first, which was disappointing and detracted from the experience. That said, the food and drink were the saving grace. I tried the ube lavender latte, which was visually stunning and had a creamy, floral flavor that was both unique and delicious. For my meal, I went with the green shakshuka. It was vibrant and flavorful, with a nice balance of spices, greens, and a perfectly poached egg on top. Parking is either on the street or in a nearby garage, so plan ahead for that as well. Overall, the food and drinks are worth trying, but be prepared for the crowds and possible hiccups in service, especially on weekends.

This new restaurant and bakery located in the Sole Mia development by Turnberry and behind Costco in North Miami, offer breakfast, brunch and lunch. This vibrant open decor has a nice bright atmosphere with an outdoor patio as well. They have fresh baked pastries, brunch classics, and Israeli dishes. I wanted the Smoked Salmon but they were out so I ordered the Grilled Salmon on sourdough bread with an egg on top $21. It was delicious. Afterwards I stood in the bakery line for the almond crescent roll to take home. It was such a treat. They are open seven days a week 8am - 5pm. They are the same owner as Motek restaurant in Aventura Mall. Service was nice and efficient.

First review 2025 Saw this place on Instagram I believe 3 months ago when they had their opening , completely forgot and the wifey said let's go try it ... we called to make sure they were open and they never answered there phone but we decided to chance it and as I figured they were open just to busy to answer phone . Place looks good has outside and inside seating nestled between a large condo community . So I'm very critical of my first time TVs new establishment and figured that after 3 months open they would have the kinks worked out ... I was wrong :( Coffee's arrived Luke warm but acceptable , I ordered a spinach croissant and a Mediterranean specialty called Bureka filled with cheese , both these items arrived stone cold and waited more than 5 min to get someone's attention to get them toasted . I understand that when your busy things happen but when you ask for a glass of ice 3x and it never shows just shows total lack of customer service . My wife ordered a salmon sandwich which was perfect .

Motek lovers, now we have Sesame! Yay! Really cute bakery in the North Miami/Aventura area, i've only tried their coffee & pastries, but need to come back to try other menu items. Staff is friendly, place is small, but they do feature indoor seating & a cozy patio area. This place is Ideal for a coffee & chisme sesh with girlfriends. I stopped by before heading to Cosco, since it's very close by.. can't wait to visit again soon!

Lovely little bakery that popped up in the last month- owned by Motek. All the same feels - instagram-ready decor including cute cutlery and decor! Has both inside and outside seating, though it felt like the vibe was inside on this one -- outside is a lot of parking lots surrounding and looks like the area is being built up. Gotta say this location is kinda random as well, not much around yet, but plenty of parking. Food on menu was delicious, as well as the pastries ordered from the counter. Had the Heaven in Earth Salmon which was cooked perfectly and the croque madam, also delicious and very cheesy! I loved the rose tea latte, very delicate and beautiful. Food was on point! I'd say the few things holding back the 5 star are the location (kinda not near anything!?) and the service- though it wasn't too bad, you can just tell they're overwhelmed with the businesses of this new spot. A few times servers came over and tried to give us dishes that weren't ours, and our dishes came out at weird intervals (one main then the two appetizers then the last main). Not a big deal in the long run. Overall recommend trying it out!

I was so excited to try this place since they are a bakery owned by Motek one of my favorite restaurants, but it was beyond disappointing. Don't let their beautiful Instagram and shining reviews fool you. First, we arrived and waited by the hostess stand for about 10 minutes, nobody was there or came to seat us, so we had to flag down a waitress and ask her if we could sit at an empty table outside. After sitting down, we got the menus and were ready to order and again our waitress came back after about 30 minutes to take our drink and food order. I wasn't upset at this point but understanding that maybe the restaurant was busy...there were about 5 waitresses outside where we were sitting, 4 baristas inside by the coffee machines/pastries. There was a single table sat inside, and outdoors was not busy, it's a small establishment not to mention it was a weekday. We sat again for over 40 minutes, no drinks, no water, no food, no waitress passing by the table. Finally, our waitress brought our food and drinks, quickly asked if everything was ok, and rushed off. I ordered a Vanilla Rose Iced Latte which was listed next to the coffee on the menu, it came with no coffee, was just milk with pink syrup and sugar in the tiniest cup for $7 which is completely a rip off for milk and syrup. The waitress nor menu told us that the latte contains no coffee. Again, our waitress wasn't popping by and another waitress overheard me say how I wanted to ask for an espresso shot for the drink. She kindly came over and said she'd bring it. We finished eating our mediocre "toast" breakfast, which in fact was just toast. I had the croque madame which had this weird tuna inside. It looked like can tuna, but it was sliced and warm didn't taste fresh at all and had a weird color. The dish also had cheese and one egg on top as well as a small side salad. We also had the wild mushroom toast which was tasty but for $18 again wasn't worth it. It was a single slice of toast with mushrooms, one egg, and some parmesan shaving on top with the side salad as well nothing extraordinary. We finished eating, the waitress that offered to bring me the espresso came back but still didn't bring it, our waitress didn't pop by the table the whole time either. She apologized said she's bringing it now. Another 15 mins pass, nobody comes back to the table. Not with the espresso, to clear our plates, to ask if we need anything, to bring water, offer dessert, NOTHING! Obviously at this point I am frustrated, I go inside to ask for the manager, there are other people having issues as well so I'm in a queue of a couple people to speak with her. Finally, I explain the situation, she takes the latte off my bill, brushes me off says she'll talk to the waitress making it seem like this issue occurs often. I asked her to pay now since our waitress for sure would've probably came at the end of her shift to take care of us so she could close out. They auto include gratuity which I wouldn't have a problem with had she even come to check at least once on her table aside from taking the order and bringing food. I understand whatever situation she was having, but if you can't take care of your tables kindly ask another waitress or your manager to help you. I paid and left super upset...I don't think I've ever received such horrible service. I wanted to try their pastries as well which looked amazing, unfortunately the service left a bad taste in my mouth, and I didn't want to spend another dollar there. This terrible service will make them lose lots of business when the establishment is actually nice. Won't be returning and also don't recommend it for you.

Starting with the positives: Food and beverages are delish. I had the Lavender Ube tea latte (decaf) and it was special. Everyone in my party really enjoyed their orders. Prices are pretty high but I think it's worth it. What is not worth is the long waits. They had only 1 server for like 20 tables! She said they were short staffed that day. Poor thing was so frazzled she took our order wrong and everything. So service was horrible. Never came by to ask if we needed anything like sugar for our coffee or anything at all. We had to get up ourselves and get our own things. It was a Wednesday at 1pm by the way. But don't worry, none of that matters because 18% gratuity is included in each check. Also be careful with parking. If you get a ticket like I did it is $55 ;)

A great place for brunch with the girls and also a solo date. Rosa, the waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and even recommended that I try the almond croissant which was amazing . Will definitely be back great location and great place.

Heard great things about the place and had to stop by since it is another concept by the team behind Motek. Located in the new development Sole Mia. It's a French boulangerie meets Israeli spice. It has the cutest decor with the pink car parked outside. Perfect insta worthy photo op. There is a variety of pastries and breads that you can grab at the bakery to eat there or take home. The bread indeed looks amazing and everything is made fresh! I couldn't decide what to try but I went with the bread pudding at the recommendation from my waitress. It was so good with the soft dough texture and moist filling. I also ordered the fish schnitzel bun. My goodness the bun was soft in the inside a lil crisp on the outside with every bite. It was delicious. I also liked the pickled carrots and pickle that was served with my sandwhich. The hibiscus tea was refreshing. It's out of my way but I don't mind coming to try more menu items. The service was good.

Adorable instagrammable location. The baked goods definitely live up to the hype. This is our favorite go-to on the weekends and they are consistently busy.

Another outstanding addition to the Motek Family of restaurants, you know them... yalla and Motek Cafe, that place that's in every corner and each location makes you feel in the Mediterranean? Yup, now they have a bakery and the best part? It's in my morning walk/run/drive to school. A quick grab and go and I'm sure they'll have an app you can easily get rewarded from being a loyal customer ‍ Camilla over at the ordering counter knows how to guide even the never been there before customer throughout the entire menu. A simple yet delicious baguette or a challah bread before the holidays and you can feel at home. YALLA!!!

Service horrible Parked with handicap sticker in a public parking place and got a $55 ticket from a scam company professional parking management .

Went there for a quick brunch place is very cute and love the pink toy k the food was great but service was slow

Food was hit and miss, service was terrible, slow, unorganized. Had to ask multiple times to put our order in, our food came out well before our coffees which ultimately arrived cold. The space is stunning and has potential just need to work on the organization.

I visited Sesame a couple of weeks ago for a to-go order. Honestly, every time I passed by there on the weekends, it seemed so packed, that I just wanted to get some of their baked goods for a friend's gathering. When I made it there, the restaurant seemed like chaos, they had a girl asking if you needed a table but they needed a proper hostess stand to guide you better. Since I was just taking it out, I went directly to the cashier. The pastries looked delicious so I was getting excited. I ordered 2 cookies, one dark chocolate, and one chocolate chip, I'm not so into cookies but these were delicious! I also ordered the almond croissant, it was filled with caramel and it was perfection. On a salty note, I ordered a pretzel bun caprese panini, also delicious, like the bread was so good! And a pasty filled with mushroom and a creamy sauce in the middle that honestly I ordered because it looked so good and indeed, it was amazing! I had a few more things that were good and yes, food-wise it was amazing! 100% recommended on the pastries side. However, they need to work on the customer service side. The cashier was a guy, I believe Argentinian and he took my order but had me waiting on the side for 15 min, not because he was taking or prepping another order but talking to the other employees, having coffee and I was just there waiting for the order. 10-to 15 minutes after, another customer arrived, saying they were there to pick up a Too Good To Go order, which I thought it was cool for them to be part of that community, he told him to wait and when he finally saw me again, he asked me what was I waiting for and I was like "The order I placed 15 min ago" and he finally started to prep my order which took him less than 5 min. I left and when I was going around the restaurant I could see the other guy was still waiting for his order while the cashier was back to chit-chatting, so definitely they needed to be more organized. The place itself is cute so the ambiance itself is nice but super loud on the inside.

Up and coming nice French Australian spot!! Open, good service, food was amazing!! Friendly really atmosphere ! Will go back!!

Amazing bakery. One of the best places of miami to have a brunch. A little bit pricey but the quality and service is superior.

The savory foods here are so flavorful and fresh. My husband and I tried the scrambled egg toast, the mezze, and the sesame breakfast and they were all 10/10. Service was also amazing and our server Rosa was so kind and attentive. The food also came out incredibly fast- honestly within 5 minutes of ordering the food was coming out, which was great. I'm only docking a point for the dessert and coffee. I tried a pistachio croissant and was so excited because it's my favorite, but the cream just tasted like vanilla and didn't really have much of a pistachio flavor, although the actual croissant was impeccably baked. And for coffee I tried the pistachio matcha which was okay. The place was very cutely decorated, very girly pink aesthetic and overall it was great and we'd definitely come back.

Overall- lovely place, great vibe and decor, nice outdoor and indoor seating. The cheese boreka was delicious - would get again. I just wish they had a plate option - boreka with pickles, tahina/labne and hard boiled egg would have been perfection. The sesame breakfast plate was good - the big loaf of bread was generous and yummy. And I liked the little sides of crushed tomatoes, tahini, pickles and Israeli salad. Would have been nice to have the option of labne or to switch the bread for a Jerusalem bagel - which was also delicious. The only thing I didn't like was the green shakshuka - it was salty and not appetizing. Too creamy. They also didn't mention it had dairy so my partner couldn't eat it - please add allergen info to your menu. I would have much preferred a regular tomato shakshuka and I hope they add that to the menu. The rose latte was fine - wouldn't reorder. Just tasted like rose water and milk, couldn't take the coffee. Would return and order different things but i hope they make some of the changes above because it's really great otherwise!

The food was gross. The service was bad to forever to get a table. Place was dirty to, would not recommend.

Delicious food, great vibes!! A must if you are a foodie. great variety of different sandwiches, salads, breakfast food and pastries

unfortunately I couldn't try it, the place is a lie since the reviews are all lies, it hasn't opened yet! Wednesday October 15th 12pm I traveled from Brickell to check out the new place, anxious to get there and when I arrived the place was closed, the car outside is the only thing they really have! I had to look for a place to park, pay for parking, I had arranged to meet some friends for breakfast, 3 cars, 3 parking spaces and we arrived and the place was closed, it has never opened yet, tables, chairs, everything inside the place, all are products that look like they are new. They haven't opened but they are already posting reviews! What a shame!

Wrong open hours. iPhone maps show they are working till 6.30 on Sunday but it's not true The food is delicious and looks really good but there are some things for improvement. It is very hot inside because the door are opened all time. Also they have to cover the food that's near the order. People are sneezing and breathing on that. Please find some lids for these plates or remove it from cashier. In addition please fix your open hours everywhere. To sum up the place is nice for breakfast, brunch and coffee break with these improvements.

This place treats customers like they're dumb. They charge $5 for "Turkish Coffee," but all they do is pour hot water over ground coffee in a tiny 1-ounce cup--total scam. Same with the Matcha Latte--they frugal on powder, and don't even bother to stir the powder, and you end up drinking cheap milk instead. Espresso? Total gamble. One day it's a decent full cup, the next it's half-empty and tastes like Starbucks leftovers. No consistency, no coffee-making knowledge. They had the potential to outshine all Miami's bad coffee spots but are too lazy to invest in a proper Turkish coffee pot and learn about how to make coffee.

The food and service was great. Our server, Ruth was amazing. She was very personable and very responsive to our needs. My only complaint, other than the wait, is, that by 12:30 you were out of the babka and several other pastries.

It's amazing all The food the service and the place Full recomendable Also you can go whit your dog

Phenomenal food, friendly service. Such a great vibe and well needed in the neighborhood! Highly recommend!!!!

The food was good service very slow ambiance regular The worst thing the parking . Was terrible. We decided not to go back to this place because of the parking. There are more places like this one with better facility for the parking.

Amazing bakery café with impressive display of baked goods and bread. Great place for coffee, salads and breakfast items. The quality the food and of the baked goods is excellent!!

Everything was amazing!!! I came a few days ago and had the dulce de leche latte, and my partner had the lavender ube - both were delicious! Came back today to try the food - the spinach omelette on a croissant was delightful. Can't wait for my cookie croissant as a treat later! The pistachio matcha was less sweet than expected, but not in a bad way! And I can't get over how adorable the place looks. Will definitely be coming back
