Look forward to a "sweeter" day as Moorish domes and storybook streets share the stage with the most tempting desserts in and around Opa-Locka, a fantastical pocket in the northern heart of Miami-Dade.

Discover how a one-of-a-kind, Arabian Nights–inspired city adds a decadent flavor to its whimsical skyline as you explore the bakeries and cafés surrounding Opa-Locka, a community shaped by Moorish Revival fantasies.

Founded in 1926 by aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss, Opa-Locka became known for its onion domes, minarets, and arches that still mark its streets today, giving off a sense of whimsy that extends into the culinary scene, where dessert stops double as gathering places filled with warmth, family recipes, and plenty of sugar.

Yes, Opa-Locka knows how to put the "sweet" in sweet tooth!

From neighborhood bakeries stacking pastelitos and Nicaraguan cakes to modern cafés blending frozen drinks and brownies, Opa-Locka puts you just minutes from desserts that deserve a spot on your must-try list.

In Opa-Locka, the domes may catch your eye — but it's the desserts that will win your heart for sure!

Here are the top 5 dessert places you can try while you're here (in no particular order).

Sory's Bakery

2000 Opa-Locka Blvd, Opa-locka, FL 33054

✅ Takeout - ✅ Dine-in - ✅ Delivery

Stroll the length of Opa-Locka Boulevard to find Sory's Bakery, a local fixture that earned its place by doing one thing exceptionally well — baking Nicaraguan favorites that taste just as good as the ones made back home.

Winning residents and tourists over with its lineup of classic cakes, pastries, and bread that balance home-style comfort with celebratory flair, Sory's Bakery features standout desserts such as pineapple cakes topped with signature pink frosting, rich dulce de leche tortas that don't feel heavy, and picos — the soft, slightly sweet bread that you can enjoy on its own or with a cup of coffee. 

You'll also find raisin pound cake, cornbread with cheese, and other flaky pastries that hit the spot between snacking and indulging.

For anyone passing through, a visit to Sory's is like tasting a slice of Opa-Locka's cultural flavor, one pastry at a time.

Nadel - Naturally Delicious

3990 NW 132nd St, Opa-locka, FL 33054

✅ Takeout - ✅ Delivery - ✅ Dine-in 

Bite into the sweet, moist goodness of banana chocolate-chip or apple spice loaves, warmed by the scent of real fruit and nuts at Nadel Naturally Delicious, a wholesome approach to gourmet snacking in Opa-Locka.

A family-owned bakery operating under a kosher, natural-ingredients banner, Nadel has been serving sweet bread, brownies, and blondies made without artificial flavors or preservatives since 1989. 

Here, each natural, OU Kosher snack features real fruits, vegetables, and nuts to achieve its wonderful signature taste, making it one of the world's premium bakers of natural, gourmet breads, cookies, and brownies.

A first-timer? Try their cappuccino chocolate-chip loaf, praised for its balance of sweetness and texture, or the triple chocolate brownies for something rich, fudgy, and the perfect accompaniment to morning coffee.

At Nadel, dessert doesn't pretend to be dessert—it's something honest that's baked, sliced, and enjoyed.

Mr. Baker

5628 NW 167th St, Miami Gardens, FL 33014

✅ Dine-in - ✅ Takeout - ✅ Delivery

Have a soft spot for cheesecake or tiramisu? Look no further than Mr. Baker, a Latin café just 9 minutes from Opa-Locka.

Celebrated for its menu of baked Latin staples and classic café delights, Mr. Baker has built a steady following among locals who know a good slice and buttery flaky delight when they taste one.

We're talking display case after display case of guava pastries, croissants, and empanadas alongside fan favorites like their cheesecakes (in different flavors, by the way) and iconic tiramisu, which, according to regulars, is made creamy without overdoing the sugar.

An independent artisan French café that promises a culinary and visual treat for your IG feed, Vanilla Espresso French Café has perfected the art of baking and curating decadent pastries and French desserts, including flaky croissants in every variety (almond, chocolate, pistachio, and more), fruit tarts with glossy finishes, and French toast that comes topped with ice cream for good measure.

When the Florida heat kicks in, their glacés (frosty blended drinks) double as a relief in a glass, perfect for dessert lovers who prefer their refreshments sweet, creamy, and photo-ready. 

Need a drink with a little more kick? Explore their coffee drinks and find hot and cold espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes in various sizes and flavors—Vanilla Espresso French Café is a win for caffeine fanatics, too!
