This includes their sourdough-based breakfast sandwiches, frittatas, yogurt bowls, and a variety of toasts topped with avocado, salmon, or mushrooms.<\/p>\n<p>At midday, the space transitions into Casa Caracas. This is the brand\u2019s new lunch operation that swaps pastries for heavier, wood-grilled proteins and a new cocktail program.<\/p>\n<p>The kitchen will be turning out hearty plates for lunch. Some include a piri piri half chicken marinated in fermented Calabrian pepper and prawns saut\u00e9ed in garlic and lemon. Other highlights include a hanger steak served with guasacaca or harissa aioli. Oh, and not to mention the \u201cMassimo Bisanzio\u201d cold pasta tossed with cherry tomatoes, basil, and pine nuts. <\/p>\n<p>The afternoon lineup is rounded out by seasonal sides, salads, and desserts like affogato and rich chocolate mousse.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Harbour-Club-Exterior_Joe-Thomas.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40539297\"  \/>The move follows a broader citywide trend of successful independent brands partnering with larger venues<\/p>\n<p>A Neighborhood Anchor<\/p>\n<p>For Braz\u00f3n and his family, the Sunset Harbour <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.miaminewtimes.com\/food-drink\/caracas-bakery-in-doral-offers-freshly-baked-venezuelan-breads-and-pastries-11455743\/\">expansion is about more than just scaling the business<\/a>. \u201cFrom day one, Caracas Bakery was never just about bread \u2013 it\u2019s about building a place people feel part of,\u201d says Jes\u00fas Brazon, founder of Caracas Bakery. \u201cFor me, Harbour Club just made sense right away.
