Excellent bakery. I had a croissant which was perfectly done, and also bought a loaf of sour dough. It gets fairly busy and there isn’t much room for a line so you feel like you’re in the way. It seems to work out, but must be frustrating for the wait staff. There is plenty of seating and there are glass windows so you can see the bakery operation which is fun. Overall, highly recommend.

My husband and I ordered breakfast — one egg platter and one avocado toast. The taste and quality were great, but the bread portion was disappointingly small, especially for a bakery. This was particularly surprising with the egg platter, where the bread came as two tiny strips alongside the labneh — not even equal to a single slice. The bigger issue, however, was the service — slow, inattentive, and unfriendly. Aside from the hostess, no one seemed interested in engaging with us. It took a while for someone to take our order, even longer for the food to arrive, and no one checked on us afterward. When we finally managed to get someone’s attention for the check, it was handed over without a word, barely any eye contact, and certainly no thank you or goodbye. Perhaps the mandatory 18% service charge has something to do with it — if the tip is guaranteed, there seems to be no motivation to provide decent service. Overall, while we really like this place for its baked goods, we won’t be returning for dine-in. It seems better suited for grab-and-go, or for picking up their bread at Whole Foods.

The display case was filled with the most beautiful, masterfully made pastries. We were tempted by them all but settled on a bagel since we were visiting—if we lived here, we would have gotten a loaf for the week! What we got: - Nova Bagel 3.5/5. one of the better meals I had in Miami! The pickled onion was a colorful touch. The bagel itself was ok. - Frisee Salad 4/5. in dire need of veggies on the trip. hit the spot with its freshness. I liked the amount of dressing it came with but my partner felt it was too drenched and overwhelming. I’m sure if we got other pastries, they would have been fantastic! We arrived at 11:30am on a Monday in June and had no wait! After we arrived, the place was quite busy with people coming in. The staff was polite and they said that a few people cover an area so they support each other. The glass, open kitchen was gorgeous and fun to watch the busy staff prepping for the next day’s baked goods.

Service was warm and inviting - everyone was available to help you with anything you need. We sat down for breakfast and the food was great. Good balance of flavours, and fresh. Also got the olive oil lemon loaf which was good. Coffee was great, don’t order the matcha if you love matcha. That was just alright but overall a great place to visit!

On street, metered parking BUT they will ticket within seconds so do pay! We saw the writing lots of tickets. On the sunny side - Absolutely loved our visit to Zack the Baker! The Nutella croissant was one of the most delicious I’ve ever had—perfectly flaky with just the right amount of sweetness. We also enjoyed their French toast on our second visit but it is enough for two or three people to share. The staff was friendly and helpful, even finding us a seat inside when it was busy. Coffee refills are available on request, which was a nice bonus. We also appreciated the clean bathroom and reasonable prices, especially for a spot in a larger city. Note: They’re closed on Saturdays, so plan accordingly. If you stop by on a Friday, don’t miss their freshly baked Challah loaves—they looked incredible! We purchased the cranberry country loaf but regret not buying the Challah. Will definitely buy it next time., Highly recommend for a warm, satisfying start to your day.

This bakery is a gem! They serve delicious kosher food, with no pork or alcohol on the menu. Every dish we've tried has been outstanding. The BLT sandwich with salmon with on a tasty ciabatta is a must-try, as is the buttery and flaky guava pastelito. The French toast with berries and crème anglaise is so yummy, and the tuna melt and the grilled cheese with tomato bisque were all fantastic.Highly recommended!
