About True Loaf Bakery

True Loaf Bakery is a beloved neighborhood bakery in Miami Beach's Sunset Harbour Shops, serving hand-shaped, preservative-free breads and pastries since 2013. Inspired by the Parisian café tradition, every item is made from scratch using premium ingredients — including top-quality French butter for their buttery, golden croissants.

The menu spans naturally leavened sourdough, traditional baguettes, brioche, canelés, madeleines, filled donuts, and seasonal specialties like Panettone at Christmas and Burnt Basque Cheesecake year-round. Sandwiches made on fresh-baked ficelle or sourdough round out a menu perfect for a casual breakfast or quick lunch.

The Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognized bakery draws a loyal local crowd and curious tourists alike, with a cozy Parisian café-style setting and consistently fresh baked goods. Priced at $10–20 per visit, it's an accessible daily ritual for Miami Beach residents and a must-stop for visitors exploring Sunset Harbour.
