Charlotte Bakery

We were in Miami for a retreat and some of our friends had visited Charlotte Bakery earlier in the week and they had to bring us back. It has such a cute vibe and the gal behind the counter was as sweet as pie.There are so many choices including both Venezuelan and Argentinian empanadas and treats. After looking at everything I finally decided on a cheese tequeno, an Argentinian spinach and ricotta empanada, and an Especial Mariscos (seafood) empanada.I actually wasn't even able to eat any of it until later that afternoon. The cheese tequeno was so delicious. The bread was soft with a slightly sweet taste and it was packed with cheese. The spinach and ricotta was packed with flavor, crispy on the outside, full of filling on the inside.I actually didn't get a chance to eat my Especial until I brought it home from Miami to Vegas! It held over well and I was able to have this special memory of Charlotte Bakery back at home. It had a good spice profile and filled with bits of shrimp and other fish and vegetables.Next time we visit Miami, this will be on our list to stop by again!

I LOVE this bakery!! I found them on yelp and it happened to be around the corner from my hotel. Walked in this morning and the lady behind the corner was literally THE NICEST lady. We described everything in way that you just ended up needing to try everything. We got coffees and one pastry because we had breakfast already right before but we are planning to return and take home every kind of empanadas. The coffees were strong and the "mini lunch" pastry was soooo good. Wow!! When my family comes back in a few months I will definitely be recommending we all come here again.

Super darling family owned bakery and breakfast/brunch. Great place to try a variety or Argentinian, Venezuelan and Chilean cuisine. Beautiful display of pastries. I had a hard time deciding, but the ladies behind the counter were very helpful at describing everything. I had the El Venezolano- scrambled eggs with ham, chopped sweet peppers and cheese; served with arepas (Venezuelan cornmeal cakes) and a mini tequeno (fried cheese roll) I added plantains for some sweetness. Also had a ham and cheese croissant and Argentinian ham and cheese empanada. Of course, had to try a cortadito (translation = little cut) is a Cuban espresso shot often sweetened with brown sugar and served over steamed milk. ¡Muy delicioso!

The woman at the counter was very friendly. The options of empanadas and pastries were amazing! This was my favorite breakfast stop in Miami.

Perfect cafe for the true local experience in South Beach. The cortaditos and empanadas are top tier. Very delicious and very fresh tasting. Rebecca helped me order and decide what I wanted. She was extremely friendly, I can't wait to go back.

Small bakery with a bang! Pastries on site. First come first serve, when it's gone it's gone. We tried the Venezuelan hot pastries: seafood, fish and beef. Each were tasty. Crispy outer shell with a soft filling. Good ratio. Croissant is highly recommended as well. Crispy flaky with fluffy inside. Regular croissant has a light sugar glaze on top. We also got the Nutella- nuts and Nutella lightly drizzled on top with powdered sugar and Nutella filling inside. We tried the number 1 breakfast which has a little bit of everything and number 3 which was a spinach cheese and egg combo. Both delicious. Everything is on the larger side for portions. We tried the natural drinks: mango, passion fruit and sour sop. So great and refreshing. Seating is limited. Good for couples or very very small groups. Parking is street or garage paid. Overall highly recommend.

Sometimes Miami Beach can be rough, stressful and mean..Arriving to Charlotte Bakery and received such an amazing service, such a kind treatment from the girl behind the counter was literally priceless! Unfortunately I didn't not catch her name..But please business owner make sure you thank her and treat her right because a person like her makes a big difference! BTW she was in the Sunday Morning shift..

Stumbled across this little shop and I'm glad we found it! The lady working there had EXCELLENT customer service. She was super kind and took the time to explain the menu to us. I got one of their special empanadas - the pabellon - and the flavors were so delicious. It had shredded beef, beans, and plantains. The meat was juicy and the garlic sauce they had paired so well with it. Definitely worth the try!!

Cutest bakery shop! Has a variety of pastries and baked goods and cakes. The cinnamon tres leches is as delicious as it is huge and the black and white cookie has a filling that is so scrumptious. The prices are a bit high, but the flavor is definitely worth it!

Great South American bakery specializes in Venezuelan (fried) and Argentinian (baked) empanadas. We got the seafood and chicken Venezuelan empanadas but the seafood was by far the best. Friendly service. Fun place to get a quick snack, coffee or fresh fruit juices.
