Caracas Bakery has made a name for itself by appearing where you least expect it. The beloved Venezuelan bakery — known for its cachitos that inspire line-worthy devotion, laminated croissants, and hefty sandwiches — has spent the past year popping up in Miami with a series of pop-ups that always seem to vanish too quickly.
Its latest one, however, is sticking around. After a test run during Art Basel, Caracas Bakery has decided to extend its Sunset Harbour pop-up indefinitely, and it might be its coolest location yet.
The menu currently features a selection of pastries, sandwiches, coffee, and fresh juices.

The setup is unlike any of their other locations. This iteration operates out of Le Basilic, a restaurant that no longer opens during the day and now functions as a bar at night. That means Caracas Bakery gets the run of the space every Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. until sellout, which usually hits by mid-afternoon.

At Sunset Harbour, guests can spread out across an open-air patio filled with couches, greenery, and shade, the kind of lush setup that invites lingering.

Comfy Outdoor Seating Makes This a Lovely Bakery Outing
What makes this pop-up especially notable is the ample space to truly enjoy it. Seating has always been Caracas Bakery’s Achilles’ heel. The Coral Gables shop is famously compact, offering little more than a counter and a few precious spots. MiMo has more space, but weekend tables remain a competitive sport. At Sunset Harbour, guests can spread out across an open-air patio filled with couches, greenery, and shade, the kind of lush setup that invites lingering. It’s pet-friendly, stroller-friendly, and comfortable enough to work from, a rarity for a bakery known primarily for grab-and-go foot traffic.
The neighborhood already has strong bakery representation with True Loaf and Maman, but Caracas Bakery brings a devoted following of its own. For many locals, the idea of snagging a cachito without hunting for a table feels like a small luxury. Whether you want a slow breakfast, a sunny spot to camp out for a few hours, or just a relaxed place to meet friends, this extended pop-up gives Sunset Harbour something it didn’t know it was missing. Open Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. until they sell out — for now.
