Brighten the day with sticky fingers, creamy scoops, and bougie pastries that tease you to take a shameless second bite around Liberty City, a vibrant pulse of Miami's resilient past.
Rough week? There's nothing a guava pastelito or rum-soaked ice cream can't fix, especially if it's from the bakeries, dessert spots, and ice cream shops just beyond Liberty City, a vibrant tapestry of cultural pride and endurance in Miami.
A proud working-class community born from its early days as a haven for Black residents carved out during segregation, Liberty City features rows of modest homes, bursts of street art honoring Black icons, and decades of triumphs and struggles, making it a cornerstone of African American life in South Florida.
It's a patchwork of evolving spaces tied together by murals, old storefronts, and a rhythm that never slows down—a glimpse of Miami you've never seen before.
And while it doesn't have a parade of restaurants, pastry shops, or velvet-rope cafés, what's around it makes up for it tenfold—especially if you're a sweet tooth looking for your next craving!
So, if you're ready to turn that dessert hunt into a mini-adventure sprinkled with warm donut shops, cookie legends, luxe cakes, and a touch of inventive flair to keep every bite a surprise, come along — we've got the ULTIMATE sugar map all drawn up!
Here are the top 5 dessert places you can try while you're here (in no particular order).

Yes, every Peek Á Treat visit is a chance to be surprised!
On some days, you'll catch pistachio, mango, or classic chocolate gelato sharing space with candy apples and mini cakes decked out in bright glazes—no one really knows what to expect (except the staff themselves, of course).
If you're lucky, you might get a cup of your favorite flavor with a side of juicy strawberries, or one of their layered cake jars if you're feeling extra.
Oh, and they have Saturday treats for doggos, too!

Here, the menu is anchored by crackling sourdoughs, braided challahs, and hearty rye, balanced by sweet picks like chocolate babka, buttery croissants, giant cinnamon rolls, and seasonal danishes that change with the baker's whim.
Step inside and watch locals grab a loaf for home, a croissant to demolish on the spot, and a cookie or slice of quiche, and feel tempted to join the bandwagon!

Not in the mood to slice into something fancy? Grab a fruit tart, a chocolate éclair, or a box of their delicate cookies and macarons instead.
Whatever you pick will be a rollercoaster of texture, flavor, and sheer delight for your taste buds!
