Top 5 Places to Get Dessert in Medley
Swap palm-lined beaches for loading docks and freight trucks and watch your dessert plans get delightfully derailed in Medley, a pocket of Northwest Miami fueled by economic muscle and subtle charm.
Unlock a sugar rush that's anything but predictable by exploring the playful dessert stops scattered through Medley, a tiny town fondly dubbed "South Florida's Industrial Porch."
Known for its maze of distribution centers, roaring semis, and streets that serve as arteries to an impressive daily workforce of 30,000, Medley may seem all business on the surface, but between those warehouses and commercial properties are serene canals and a limited number of mobile home parks and modest single-family homes that soften its grit, and makes it one of Miami's most affordable residential options.
Mind you, it's not only the rugged charm that makes Medley worth the turn off the expressway!
Those with a sense of adventure (and a GPS) will be happy to know that finding their next craving is an easy task around Medley, thanks to how effortlessly it leans into nearby Doral's, Hialeah's, and Miami Springs' vibrant sprawls, and its intimate selection of food trucks and dessert nooks peppered within its perimeter.
From coconut-heavy Venezuelan cocadas and fresh fruit confections to creamy paletas and spiked scoops, the desserts around Medley are full of personality — and they're all willing to test your sweet tooth's endurance
Here are the top 5 dessert places you can try while you're here (in no particular order).

Sip your icy scoop of thick coconut goodness at La Cocada, an iconic food truck that blends (literally!) your drinks and desserts in one frosty cup.
A no-nonsense spot with counter service, bright outdoor umbrellas, and a short menu focused on authentic Venezuelan cocadas, La Cocada blurs the line between milkshakes and a classic sweet treat.
Here, you can go crazy choosing among their signature coconut blends, all packed with fresh pulp, ice, cinnamon, and sweetened up with condensed milk, with options to go all-in with extra lechera, keep it classic, or have a lighter version, care of their "Cocada FIT" lineup, if you're counting macros.
It might sit on a block lined with warehouses, but that first refreshing, coconut-heavy gulp will make you forget exactly where you are — and pretty much guarantee you'll be back for another round.

Dive into a swirl of strawberries and cream at Fresa Cream, a cheerful nook that boasts cups and trays piled high with sweet, messy masterpieces.
Offering a playful mash-up of fresh strawberries, thick cream, scoops of ice cream, and syrupy drizzles, Fresa Cream is a dream for those who love their berries, especially if they want it crowned with Oreo cookies or crispy rolled wafers for good measure.
At Fresa Cream, each spoonful lands somewhere between refreshing and downright indulgent, making it dangerously easy to keep digging in, particularly when you add a scoop of ice cream under that glossy drizzle of strawberry syrup (because why not?).
If you're in Medley and need a break from all the steel and concrete, Fresa Cream is your guilt-optional ticket.

Find the perfect excuse to sneak dessert into your daily grind at Morning Cofy, a cozy neighborhood café that pairs quality coffee with artisanal baked creations.
Boasting a steady stream of patrons daily due to their beloved selection of lattes and cappuccinos, Morning CoFy has become a significant addition to Medley's growing patchwork of low-key gems.
What seals the deal, you ask? For dessert lovers, it's their pastry case stuffed with buttery croissants, guava-filled pastelitos, and flaky delights that flirt with the balance of sweet and savory.
These pastries don't just complement your coffee—they compete with other sugary treats all on their own!
At Morning CoFy, a simple coffee run turns into a slow indulgence, where nobody's keeping tabs if your morning pick-me-up is more sugar than caffeine because they're all doing the same.

At Alma Mia, resisting a second helping might just be the most difficult part of your day.
