Early one morning, I was craving a real cup of coffee before heading to the beach. I couldn't believe I hadn't discovered this little spot sooner it was only about 3-4 blocks from where I was staying. The café is charming, well maintained, clean, and has a relaxing atmosphere. The service was friendly and quick, although I was the first customer of the morning. I ordered a cappuccino and a glass of apple juice, and it was the perfect way to start the day. read more

This place is so cute! Immediately at the entryway I knew I was excited to go in. Wonderful decor. Delicious pastries. Super fast, kind service. I had cheese pizza w/ tomato & olives, a matcha latte, & pistachio crostatina. I recommend all of them. 1 pizza square is super filling so I shared the crostatina with a friend. read more

Best bakery in the city. Rossana helped us pick out the most delightful treats I've ever had. Service was fantastic, efficient, & kind. The ambiance was upscale, yet quaint. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and comforting. I highly recommend the fresh fruit tartelle or bonbolone! We have absolutely found our favorite sweet treat spot. This is the authentic italian bakery of my dreams. read more

We were staying at a nearby hotel and asked the Front Desk Agent if there were any breakfast places she recommended. She mentioned Paolo Fonatanot without even hesitating so we walked over and as soon as we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat. The café is simply BEAUTIFUL and there is plenty of seating. I had a mocha latte which was pretty good and a delicious Nutella croissant. I also tried the Capresse sandwich and liked it. Service was also great and special shoutout to Sydney and Lorena who were very attentive and kind. I would definitely come back! read more

Paolo Fontanot Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Miami, Florida

To Paolo Fontano (Business Owner), or whomever responded to my original complaint, I strongly recommend that you take a management course to learn how to provide quality service and set a better example in your establishment. Please stop misrepresenting the facts. I ate one toast, and I returned the other untouched because it had a visible white piece of fur on it -- something I clearly pointed out and refused to eat. Why would I take the time to write a complaint if there wasn't a real reason? This situation is deeply disappointing, and your refusal to acknowledge it honestly only makes it worse. I specifically asked that the plate be brought back so we could inspect it together -- why did you refuse that? Let's be clear: fur does not come from raw or smoked salmon. Please don't insult your customers' intelligence. The issue here isn't just about $22 -- it's about integrity and how you treat people. When you told me, "Some customers eat and then complain just to avoid paying," that was offensive and completely unjustified. I've attached screenshots of receipts from previous visits. Have I ever complained before? No. That speaks for itself. It's clear you assume the worst of your customers rather than taking responsibility and responding with professionalism. This experience has been unacceptable. If this is how you handle concerns, perhaps it's time to reevaluate your approach to business and customer care. Please take this feedback seriously -- and stop lying!!! read more

- Huge fan of their special croissants - I also like their chocolate ones - Located on the second floor but they have an elevator for those who need assistance - I came in later in the day on time and they offered 50% off the leftover bread they had that day - Lots of seating space - Usually some folks work on their laptops from the first floor read more

This place was so cute! I went there to lock in with some studying and it was the perfect environment to do so. It was beautifully decorated in Christmas decoration from the door all the way to the register. The staff were all so nice and the place itself was super clean. The coffee shop is two stories and has good lighting. I sat on the bottom floor and it was a perfect area for some studying. I got a vanilla latte which was good and the avocado toast with eggs. They had a bunch of yummy looking pastries to choose from and I regret not getting anything. Will definitely be returning for a sweet treat soon! read more

What a cute little gem tucked away in Omni! I live right nearby and I think I've found my new go-to study spot! It's perfect for studying or a work from home day, with such a pretty ambiance. I came with my brother on his birthday and the cashier overheard me talking to him about his birthday and brought him a little donut with a candle- how cute! I also ordered some hot tea which was a delicious study drink. I can't wait to come back on my next study day! read more

After reading some reviews, I thought I really had to visit this Italian Bakery. I waited for my Italian friend to come to town so I could take her with me. I have to say we were both disappointed. It was not what I expected. Coffee was very good. Stars are for the coffee and the cleanliness of the establishment. The display was organized and clean. I give them that, but the food was just average. Focaccia was average, croissants were just OK. They mainly had ham and cheese items, nothing very Italian. Swiss cheese was almost in everything they made that day. I don't think Italians are big on Swiss cheese or at least that the ones I know. I was expecting to get more traditional Italian items, like mozzarella, mortadella, sopressata, etc. The sandwiches looked weak because they were missing ingredients. The one we ate hardly had any speck. I was happy to see at least speck in a sandwich, but it was also disappointing. In my opinion, the dough also lacked flavor. My friend agreed with me and she is an Italian baker. When it comes to service, the staff was just OK. They are there to take your order. Nothing very Italian about that. Hospitality is not a forte here. Needless to say, I was not impressed. I can find tastier Italian treats and service in Miami. Nowadays, there are many authentic Italian places opening up in the neighborhood. read more

Such a nice breakfast spot! The view from the inside of the place is very pretty and the service is good. They have an array of a lot of different options, and it would be hard to find something that doesn't catch your eye! The coffee and the food were tasty and fresh! 10/10 read more

Initially went here for a Too Good to Go package and have been going back ever since. I'm obsessed with the cracker bread. Fresh, delicious and house made pastries. Breads are so good. Staff is so friendly and knowledgeable about the ingredients and products. Great location. Very clean. Close to a really nice park. They also have some outside seating. read more

I planned to come here for some time, but it was a bit disappointing. I was expecting something more similar to the bakeries Fontanot has in Italy, but it was far from that. They have a few pastries, some sandwiches that however for most part are not particularly "Italian" and you can find in other places; service was okay but somehow the place looked empty, and I don't mean of people, but of food options. Prices are Miami-downtown prices but without any special reason to repeat the experience. I was definitely expecting more Italian salumi, but there was, little, except for a prosciutto that wasn't among the best I had. Honestly if you don't know prior to visiting, you wouldn't know it's an Italian bakery. Again, maybe I was expecting more because I know their bakeries in Italy, but this seemed a very toned down version of them. read more

I've come here a handful of times throughout the summer and look forward to the bright atmosphere it brings. There is an upstairs and downstairs seating area for workers, couples, and families (often with young kids and/or dogs, and without being loud adds to the liveliness). The pizza is homemade with a light and fluffy dough. There are lighter baked goods like cream-filled croissants and heavier goods like tarts and eclairs. I've tried a modest selection and liked everything I had. The coffee is well made. After 7:00 pm all the breads and croissants are 50% off, enticing all late coffee drinkers to grab a snack before heading home! Recently the music was a little more loud than preferred but overall it's always a pleasant visit. read more

Dayana and Nahir are amazing!!!! Every time I come in they are always working really hard!

It's a small, simply decorated Italian bakery located just a few blocks north of the Adrienne Arsht Theater, and adjacent to the Margaret Pace Park: a great place for a stroll by the sea. Parking however, is difficult to find. The owner comes from the same Italian city where I grew up: they have great bakeries all over the city, therefore I was really excited when I heard that they were opening a bakery in Miami too, and I was looking forward to try them. As soon as you come in (on the 2nd floor) you see a big display full of desserts, panini and pizzas. Everything you see there is homemade, and they also have a very small selection of wine and beers. We were here for lunch: I ordered a "ham and cheese crostino" while my husband had a panino with tomato, mozzarella and arugula. Unfortunately my expectations were probably too high: the food is just ok and too expensive for its quality. I was also surprised not to see a wider variety of Italian pastries (also expensive). On a positive note, all baked stuff is sold at 1/2 price after 7pm. The staff is friendly, but I don't know if I'll be back, considering that I've had better experiences in other Italian bakeries in Miami, which happen to be cheaper as well. read more

Paolo Fontanot Bakery - Pistachio Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Miami, Florida

One of my absolute favorite places for desserts, a good coffee or a quick sandwich. Located in downtown by the Aria building, so only street parking. It has a small downstairs area with just desks with usb ports and electricity outlets. Upstairs is all window walls with some tables and the ordering area. The ambiance is very casual and perfect for a small lunch or to come get some work done. My favorite sandwich is the brie and speck that comes with arugula and is incredible. They home made all their bread in house so it's truly always something so fresh. I've also gotten these mini focaccia that come with tomato's and wow, always fresh and delicious. They also sell salads, pizza and charcuterie spreads. Their dessert though.... truly out of this world. they have one named "red passion" and it's a little red heart with passion fruit moose on the inside. TO DIE FOR. Another favorite is one that is green on the outside and has a chocolate moose with some pistachio filling as well. It is so creamy and not over bearing at all. They also sell some of their small desserts bigger for a birthday, special occasion, or if you simply cannot get enough! The service is always nice as the servers are always very sweet and able to answer any questions. All in all one of my favorite places for some dessert. I simply cannot wait to go and indulge again! read more

Came here about a couple of weeks ago. I didn't know that they actually have a location in America. This cute bakery is located right behind Aria on the Bay luxury condos by Margaret Park. They don't have a lot of seating outside but plenty of tables inside. Ordering is simple. You just go up to the counter and select from the display or chalkboard menu, then they bring the food to the table. Besides the fresh-made baked goods, they also offer croissants, crostinis, sandwiches, salads, pizzas, and even meat boards. And of course, some of the most beautiful desserts I've seen. I was with 3 other people so we just ordered a bunch of stuff to share. We got a couple of croissant sandwiches which were very fresh. Also added a Caesar salad which was pretty decent. We also shared the mushroom and vegan focaccia but we thought the bread was just too much. It definitely needed more toppings cause the bread was very thick. Our favorites were the desserts especially the one the shaped LOVE. It was something I've never tasted before. It wasn't too sweet but just right and soft too. I wish I remember the name :) This bakery is definitely worth checking out. Great for breakfast or lunch while working or studying. I didn't try their coffee but my friends did and they said it was good as well. Will be back if I'm in the area. read more

Such a lovely space with bright sunlight and good seating options (long tables, small rounds). The berry tart was fresh and melted in the mouth. Seriously I kept thinking about it for the rest of the day. The baked breads were light and fluffy, the salmon and capers with mascarpone was bright and filling. I can't wait to visit their bakery cases for more treats. This is seriously quality ingredients and precise baking. If you are missing the taste of a good cafe because you haven't yet been able to return to Europe, this will hit the spot. read more

I've been many times at this place and one of my biggest concerns is still their staff (specifically their cashier) so rude. Omg! It seems like he is doing us a favor. Today he took his time organising their display with (donuts) and then took our order. Like we were not there! Never saw a smile in his face, always with his grumpy face. In my opinion, to be a server can be challenging, you need charisma, patience and the most important being prepared for any scenario that comes your way. Customers are different and require different things too. For this place to be well reviewed they need to put extra attention in these details (you can see in other reviews the same claim). Anyhow it's a beautiful spot , display is always full , they have specials menu and happy hour. Pet friendly :) Public parking around!!! read more

I have been here twice, and it is a lovely place with great customer service. I was thoroughly impressed with the drive of the staff that serviced me as they were kind, informative, and assertive! They made sure to let everyone know about 50% off during the last hour of the store, and even talked leisurely with the customers during down time Pros: *great selection of goods *friendly and helpful staff *relaxing atmosphere *lots of sitting space upstairs and downstairs Cons: *ordered a dirty chai, which had great espresso shots, but the chai wasn't noticeable. *lots of sun exposure (I'm easily sunburned) *pastries can sit out for a while in the sun, which could potentially be a safety hazard for dairy and meats, without any visible cooling systems for pastry case (such as tinted glass or AC) read more

Stopped here on a whim after walking my cousin's dog in the park around the corner and while the interior is really impressive and posh, I didn't think the quality of the food matched the decor. I thought the coffee was mediocre and the pizza slice that I got was hard and not very tasty. I also had to ask the person at the counter if they could warm up the pizza because they gave it to me cold.. idk if it's meant to be eaten cold but I thought that was weird. read more

When I walked in I didn't get the hype but, the 6 pastries I bought convinced me. Beyond delicious!

If you are looking for an Italian bakery with a wide variety of breakfast goodies, pizzas (classic margarita, salami and mushroom, olive and tomato), sandwiches (ham and provolone, basil tomato and mozzarella), and too many desserts to name! You can't go wrong with any pizza, we ordered one of each and the mozzarella salad. It was delicious and filling. I almost forgot - the coffee is also scrumptious, I also had a macchiato that really put some pep in my steps. read more

So this is one of my favorite bakery ! been a customer since they opened .. everything is really good . however , the guy cashier/ server is not the nicest person. He has attitude .After ordering 2 croissants , and a ham and cheese croissant. After paying I asked for butter and he told me there was an added cost for it .. I found it off .. just thought butter would be a part of something you give your clients to eat with there croissants or even jam .. when I questioned him he rudely said .. we don't give anything for FREE here ! Its 50 cents . Ownership -, I know you .. is this correct ! I don't care about the 50 cents it's more about the attitude. read more
