Zak The Baker Review

Everything here is incredible. My wife and I have tried the almond croissant, pain au chocolat, plain croissant, cinnamon roll, avocado toast, poppyseed bagel with cream cheese, coconut macaroons, chocolate chip cookies, and vegan banana bread. Everything is top notch. In fact, it s so good that I m embarrassed that we haven t tried more items.

And for being a bagel enthusiast, I very much appreciate that there are poppyseeds on both halves of the bagel and that they absolutely load it up with poppyseeds.

We don t even in live in Miami, but this place is a must stop for us whenever we are in town.

The service is friendly too. The design/layout of the place is great. Your eyes and taste buds will be very pleased. If it s a busy line, it s well worth the wait.

The food was unbelievable. We also picked up a couple baguettes for later and they were amazing as well. The kitchen staff was working very hard to fulfill the orders. Unfortunately, the front of the house did not seem to have a care in the world. People were walking out and I was very close to do the same.

We were in the area and found this spot, it's got a very hip vibe to it which is nice. The food was pretty basic I wouldn't say anything to special. The reason for 3 stars was because the place doesn't have the best ventilation and it gets smokey in there which wasn't the most comfortable feeling in our eyes.
Probably won't go back because of that.

A special find. The wonderful scent of fresh baked breads and patries makes its way up the sidewalk, they have an awesome selection of sandwiches and salads. I wish I could come here everyday.

Great to watch bread being baked. Excellent service

The guys at the farmers market are nothing short of AMAZING! Always friendly and ready to answer any questions thrown at them at any moment. Fresh goods and great employees. Great job guys! Always looking forward to Sundays at the farmers market. Thanks for the great attitude and Smiles! Cheers!

Head good reviews hope they can make me a special roll when I visit

This place is a local favorite, which is obvious to anyone walking by as it is extremely crowded. Waiting to place your order can take very long. There are a few flour-free and gluten-free options, but the taste of the food is average. Prices are outrageous.

I've been here 3 or 4 times in the past few months and have always been impressed with the quality of the food so I give them 5 stars for that, hands down, the food and presentation is fantastic!

But I unfortunately give them less stars for the cluster of a mess at the counter when ordering food, and servers whizzing by and putting a plate in front, and taking off, - we get it, you are busy but you are a restaurant and that's part of the business as well as being friendly and personable, I suggest they get more staff perhaps?
The music was loud on two of the occasions we were there, BUT there was some disco themed day going on which is fun and great! ---but my friend and I were almost yelling at each other for our 9 a.m. breakfast disco party, I appreciate the fun but music not so loud at 9 a.m when trying to talk.
I give them less stars also, because I've never found the staff at the counter to be over friendly. Working in such a cool place with a really cool clientele you think they would be happier and more playful, so have I just come on a bad day or are they just stressed from organizing orders etc. (this isn't all the staff by the way)
I know the owner take tremendous pride in his business and he should, (I've heard great things about him) and this place is all the buzz and I always recommend it to others, but I think a little sensitivity training or pep talk is important for some of the staff there.

This used to be my favorite place to eat! After they split in two, one place becoming a bakery and the other the deli, and removing some of their signature dishes, it's just not as good. It used to be way above average. It's not anymore.

Great prices, amazing food! Favorite kosher eat out place in Florida. During the popular hours, it can take a while to be seated and served. However the servers are really sweet, have great personalities and try their best to give you an enjoyable experience.

Would recommend this place to anyone, as long as you have time and don't mind crowded or slightly niosy spaces. If you do, go towards the end of the day.

Excellent bakery. Offers awesome selection of gluten free pastries. My disappointment, the coffee I ordered, after 10 minutes awaiting, came warm temperature not hot as it supposed to be.
Manager, Attention to details make the difference!!!

Forgot about my coffee, I'm wait 10min. Forgot and burn my kische. Inside was very slow. Indifference and rudeness.

Laid back atmosphere, everything looked so good! They keep kosher though so don't bring your toddlers sippy cup of milk in.

Very long wait . No where to stand outside except on the street and it s raining !! I got all wet !!!

Delicious food. Bread is amazing here. But sitting to eat is a bit uncomfortable as its hot, crowded and almost all the seats are in the sun.

The food was good quality, nicely plated, and the atmosphere was nice and spacious. I even came in hot from the weather and the person who took my order was nice enough to give me water before I was served without being asked. Very attentive, friendly staff. :)

Looked amazing from the outside. Didn't get to try the food but I want to go back.

Nice kosher. Bakery .....

Love breakfast as well

This place was absolutely packed on a busy Sunday afternoon but despite that our food (once ordered) was delivered quickly and with friendly service from all the staff members. The menu is simple but absolutely delicious - I enjoyed my grilled cheese and iced latte immensely. It's in a great location with a lot of things to explore nearby so I would definitely return!

Every time I come is a great experience and great flavors! I think I've tried almost every pie, cookie and empanada!

The bread can't be beat. Delicious pastries and pies. Don't getting sticker shock, it's pricey but worth it.

It was OK. Way over rated from the things I heard. Also, quite pricey.

Very, very, very good bakery in Miami!
Tested: Chocolate bread, croissant, coconut cake, almond croissant ... the chocolate cookie is fantastic!

The food is good but doesn't justify the long lines or complete disarray/disorganization there.

It's no better than plenty of other artisan bakeries.

I would say don't drive more than 5 minutes to get there and don't wait in line more than 15 minutes once you're there

More than just a delicious one. During our 1st meeting, the staff was very polite, patient and knowledgeable to explore options and choices for cake.

Best bakery ever! A must eat. The Jewish deli isn't even this good in New York City (where I live). I took a bunch home with me in my suitcase - worth it.

Really cool experience great food.you get to see the baking in action.

Have been going here steadily for two years. Have seen the establishment grow and evolve, and the only thing I can say is wow! Zak the Baker has genuinely become the only pasty store I can eat at without regretting it. The food never disappoints, and the quality of the pastries and sandwhiches, as well as the drinks are crazy delicious! Additionally, the service of this place is always fast and quick, regardless of how packed it is. The people working here are always bright as well as welcoming. Will continue to eat at this place!

Hidden gem that's not so hidden anymore! Some of the best bread and pastries in Wynwood! And Zak has a great story!

Delicious sandwiches and other food. Very nice staff who care greatly about the food they make.

Live in Tampa and had heard about the bakery so we just had to stop while on vacay. So so please! What a neat location and the treats are amazing! The cinnamon roll was stellar and the guava and cheese croissant was the best I've had. Ever!

Delicious lunch spot. Yummy fresh food. Great place if you are craving a delicious sandwich.

Love the bakery and cafe, went to the falafel pop up and the food was great, social distancing was being followed,and the vibe was there

Been there twice already and the service was just as excellent as last time! Amazing breakfast sandwich and latte!

I had the Heart natural Ethiopian pour over, it was expertly prepared and the flavors were very bright with light fruit flavors, someone spent a lot of time making it delicious this in the morning.

This restaurant is amazing the waitress was very kind and friendly and brought us our dishes very fast. The avocado toast with feta on top was delicious! The bread was very crispy on the outside but nice and soft in the inside. The house lemonade was very good, the only thing I would change about it was at the end it was a little watered down because of the ice but it was still yummy. They have the best croissants I have ever had, they were flaky on the outside but nice and doughy in the inside. I will definitely be going back!

Great place & atmosphere! Always nice staff and food is excellent! Best place to have a matcha latte with views of Wynwood s spray painted buildings!

Great food and staff!! Be sure to visit amazing bakery down the street especially at noon on Fridays when they bring out the fresh challah!!! Many varieties and other amazing goodies!

Bread is very good, but their best thing I've tried is their apple pie and croissant. It is to die for. I woukd give 5 stars, but they need to add more items in their menu...like eggs! Also, they they have no table salt, butter, jam to offer the customers (?). Weird.

The most lovely breakfast spot! The food was awesome and the service was delightful!

Great food! Definitely worth the price. Reasonable prices and great food.

OMG! I was just invited to a Guava & Cheese pastry and it was unbelievably Delish! It has to be be the best bakery in Miami. A MUST TRY OUT BAKERY. Enjoy!

I love this place because of the simplicity of the atmosphere and menu, all while having quality food and friendly staff!

Jason was awesome! And the food was great! Thanks guys!

Love this place. It has the best bagel in Miami, I ve had so far.

I love this place. When you walk in you see rows and rows of golden brown happiness. All of the pastries are fantastic. I love the Kouign Amann, and the cinnamon roll might be the best one I have ever had. But hands down my favorite thing is a toasted slice of the country wheat bread with peanut butter. This is the best bakery I have been to in Miami for sure.

The concept is very good, the organization terrible, the customer service bad for the reason that they give you everything in pieces your order and you have to be aware of everything is not a relax place, employees think they are doing you a favor by attending you they are not friendly at all. As for the food, it's good but you can not enjoy it ...
What a pity

I never in my life enjoyed such delicious food in a bakery. I was served by Jason, a real nice person who cared about the food I had and made sure it was to my satisfaction.. the food is out of this world. A little price but definitely worth every penny. JASON your the man and the reason I enjoy coming to this bakery. Everyone has to try it, .its really delicious. Again Thank You Jason for the great service !!!

Food was the best I ve ever had!! The roasted tomato toast is beyond amazing

The lines are big with reason. The bread and the food are both amazing. Best sourdoughs and ryes in Miami by far. Menu is always changing and using bright, fresh ingredients.

Food is ALWAYS great but the customer service provided by a guy named Jude last time I visited was EXCELLENT, AWESOME, GREAT! it feels so good to be helped by a person with such a great attitude, hope he is recognized.

Excellent baked goods and prepared food, one of the best if not the best bakery in Miami. Come hungry

Everything here is delicious! From the avo toast to the salted dark chocolate cookies, you will be impressed. Just remember they're closed on Saturday!

Very good quality of baked goods. Big crowds though on a Sunday afternoon.

This location just opened when we visited, so I think it was not what I was expecting, having read about the other location. If you want to buy bread or a slice of quiche, they can fix you up, but if you want something more, this spot may not be ready for you yet.

The have the best sandwiches choices

I will definitely come back

Just bought a loaf fron Whole Foods! Watching carbs, but this bread is worth it! Delicious, delicious! Will buy again!

amazing food, great bread. unbelievable food and service from the staff!

I love it, but their explanation of what they have is really poor.

Nice atmosphere, quick service, and incredible food. The yoghurt was the best I've had.

I've been a fan of Zak the Baker since day one. Love the food and have introduced many friends and family to the bread and pastries especially. However my experience with the girls behind the counter on two occassions on Sunday mornings have left a lot to be desired. Unmotivated, painfully slow and unengaged. It's a poor representation of a fantastic start-up brand that has been doing so well in the emerging Wynwood neighborhood. Inject some life into those girls and maybe I won't cringe when I pull up Sunday mornings to pick up bread...an activity that takes way too long regardless of how many people are in line.

Zak makes the best fresh baked bread in all of South Florida. There's just one thing missing: Bagels...

Great food horrible service. Made order paid and confirmed. Next day when everything was prepared for the guest I get a call and told me that they don t deliver to my area. No I m sorry nor excuses. Incredible, won t buy again nor will recommend to others.

Delicious, but gives me claustrophobia. Too many people in a tiny tiny place.

We ordered a small take out order of the bread with butter and jam, figuring that would be fastest. Waited fifty minutes patiently until others who had ordered after us received their significantly larger orders. When explained how long we had been waiting come to find out that the woman working had just been moving around the bag with our order around her work station for the entire time. We watched her move it multiple times instead of putting it out. Only offered a quick sorry and not offered to redo the order. Gave us cream cheese instead of butter. The baked goods were good but the service was horrendous.

Zak did it right! The chocolate croissants are so worth a 16 mile drive. It was so soft and fresh. The double chocolate cookie weighed like a brownie. The cinnamon buns would pair nicely with a hot coffee because it was a bit dry on the edges. Overall, 100% recommended and worth the prices.

Great sandwiches which you eat watching the frenetic activity in a big, busy bakery. Fun!

Delicious baked goods, emphasis on breakfast/classic pastry items. Very large interior with a lot of seating. Glass windows to the kitchen at the back so you can see the bakers making everything in front of you. Tend to sell out of the most popular items on weekends so get there early. Shop is right on the corner near the popular Wynwood Walls area.

The real deal.. The retail space is in front of the fully opened production kitchen. You can watch the entire operation from dough to done! Everything is fresh baked everyday and you can taste it for sure! Worth a trip in for awesome baked goods!

Good quality of bread and salad.
I ordered chicken soup and tuna salad sandwich and was waiting for 24 minutes!!!!!
Slow!!!! very slow!!!

Avocado toast is amazing....portions are way too small though

Phenomenal bakery & restaurant! I love this place :-)
Great spot to bring out of town guests for a tasty brunch before exploring the Wynwood walls. The restrooms are impeccably clean , and the staff very friendly. 11/10 Come and enjoy yourself

Really good coffee and good baked goods. Nice place to visit if you are in the area.
