Breadman Miami Bakery

Why We Love It: Baking started as a hobby for Cuban-Americans Andy Herrera, 38, and his wife, Jessica, 34 [1]. They started baking breads in their home and taking orders until, overwhelmed, they started looking to open a bakery. Their first location, in Hialeah, opened in 2014, followed by their Westchester bakery last February. They carry traditional Cuban bread – “we can’t tamper with Cuban bread,” Andy says, plus fresh takes on pastelitos, croquetas and typical Cuban desserts, like their custard with dulce de leche [2]. On the menu are Venezuelan tequeños and croquetas de maiz y queso and Colombian pan de bono, items that never would have been in a Cuban bakery a couple of decades ago. “Miami culture has changed, and for the better,” says Andy. Two locations: 8100 SW 8 St., Miami and 5804 W 20 Ave., Hialeah
