True Loaf is a charming South Beach bakery offering an array of heavenly pastries, legendary croissants, and charmingly simple sandwiches, perfect for grabbing and indulging by the water.
"This small bakery is a reliable place for some great pastries, including the best almond croissant in Miami. They also sell sandwiches, which are good, but we usually come here for the sweet stuff. There’s that massive almond croissant, but also more great rotating pastries that are perfectly baked and often include liberal amounts of dulce de leche. True Loaf is one of the best bakeries in town, so it can get crowded on the weekends, and there’s not much seating, but the beach isn't too far away if you want to have a picnic." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"True Loaf is a South Beach bakery that’s a reliable place for some great pastries, including one of the best almond croissants in town. They also sell sandwiches, which are good, but we come here for their sweet pastries. There’s that massive and delicious almond croissant, but also great fruit tarts as well as a dulce de leche monkey bread. This place can get crowded on the weekends, and there’s not much seating, but there’s also a lovely little waterfront park with picnic benches (Maurice Gibb Memorial Park) just a block away." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
"True Loaf doesn’t share the traditional story of a pastry chef who trained under the watchful eye of masters. Owner Tomas Strulovic learned to bake after leaving his career in finance and opening True Loaf, and now the former banker makes some of the best croissants in Miami and other picture-perfect pastries." - Amber Love Bond, Olee Fowler
"“Small” would be an appropriate way to describe this to-go bakery, but not so much for these seriously puffed-up croissants. They’ve got well-defined, airy layers and a rich butter flavor. The beach is only a few minutes away, so you could grab a towel and enjoy your croissant on the sand. Or you could just inhale it on the sidewalk in ten seconds. We usually do the latter." - charlie crespo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino

But there’s also a lovely little waterfront park (Maurice Gibb Memorial Park) just a block away where you can have a picnic." - ryan pfeffer
