Transform your detour into a mouthwatering feature of all things sugary and chocolatey at the bakeries and confectioneries in The Hammocks, a suburb tucked at West Kendall's edge.
Paint the perfect afternoon with a relaxing lakeside stroll, pastel skies, or something sweet to go in The Hammocks, a master-planned retreat drawn with intention and softened by nature.
Developed between the late 1970s and 2017, The Hammocks encompasses 8.10 square miles and covers around 18,000 homes, framed by The Crossings in the east, the census-designated suburbs of Kendall West and Kendale Lakes in its north, the serene Three Lakes to the south, and unincorporated farmland (including parts of West Kendall) to the west.
Here, you'll find winding lakes, peaceful trails, and Mediterranean-style homes built across several distinct enclaves, allowing it to feel sweeping in scale and surprisingly layered for a tiny suburban escape.
And while it's more "chill" than chic, this suburban slice connects you to the good stuff (literally and figuratively!), as it puts you in a location near Kendall and its plethora of shopping spots, international getaways via Miami Executive Airport, or your next favorite cafecito at its quaint commercial center.
So, if you're looking to satisfy your sweet streak, get ready to embrace your favorite desserts with open arms!
At The Hammocks, cravings come with scenery, calm, and maybe a few powdered sugar fingerprints on the steering wheel!
Here are the top 5 dessert places you can try while you're here (in no particular order).

Craving something creamy, flaky, and unapologetically Cuban? You'll find your fix just 5 minutes from The Hammocks.
Believe us, when that pastelito craving hits, resisting it isn't part of the plan, especially if you're getting it from Cakeland Bakery.
A family-owned staple since 1999, Cakeland Bakery brings Cuban tradition to life inside Kendall Park Plaza with a steady stream of pastries, savory bites, and custom cakes made the old-school way.
Locals know it's more than a quick stop but a go-to for fresh sandwiches, sweet pick-me-ups, and birthday treats worth writing home about.
