Welcome to True Loaf Bakery

"I was in the Miami area to check out the art installation at Faena Beach for Miami Art Week. Whenever I’m in the area, I always check bookmarked spots I want to check out. Decided to hit up True Loaf which was close by. True Loaf is located in Sunset Harbor next to Tequiztlan Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar. Also two spots down from Maman which is one of my fave bakeries. I stopped into True Loaf to scope out their selections. The young lady at the front was nice, I didn’t get her name. This spot is more of a bakery with a huge kitchen area and limited space to order or sit. They had a few patio tables outside but no sitting area inside. Quick order and go kind of space. They had a display of food options in the front window and ordering area. I also didn’t see a menu or labels for the pastries so it was hard to decide what I wanted. I was going by visuals of what they still had available. I ended up getting a canelé. And let me tell you, they made a quite perfect canelé with the crispy exterior and custardy interior. Each canelé costs $5. I knew a nice bakery like this would make a good canelé. You can just tell. I would come back to try some of the other items including the croissants, sandwiches, basque cheesecake and pastries! Cute spot. Happy I found this."

"I want to dock a star for value and consistency, such as the pan au chocolate sometimes being almost all pan and almost no chocolate. Also because the prices are at the higher end of tolerability, eg. $12 for one baguette and one croissant; or $20 for a challah and a cookie. This is actually the higher end even of what you would pay in NYC for an artisan bakery. It is the only bakery of note on South Beach at the moment and the lack of competition doesn’t help in this regard. However, I want to support them and the quality is generally good so I am giving the benefit of the doubt for now. It also helps that Panther Coffee is in the same building."

"Stopped by true loaf after eating at Lucali's witch was an amazing experience! I had a difficult time deciding what to order. Since I'm visiting from chicago. I had to make my one choice count! I did. Got one loaf of banana bread with chocolate chips and walnuts, and two huge chocolate chip cookies. It did not disappoint. Banana bread was huge and weighed at least 5 pounds legit brought it back with me to Chicago lol...super soft amazing flavor the best part was it wasn't overly sweet same with the cookie. Only thing it was super pricey over $30 for the loaf and two cookies but it was worth it. 100% recommend!"
