Zak The Baker

The day's offerings, both with baked goods and menu items, are seasonal and depend upon what's freshly available. Breads include Jewish rye, plum fennel and rye, country wheat, and sourdough, and daily plates are listed on a chalkboard. There's always a soup, along with several open-faced sandwiches and mixed salads.

One of the bakery's most popular dine-in dishes is Stern's breakfast sandwich. It's made with sourdough multigrain bread, which contains oats, flax, sesame, millet, and pumpkin seeds. A thin egg omelet with sharp cheese is used as the base of the sandwich, and a few slices of avocado are layered on top. Then sprouted alfalfa and chopped tomato are added, and house-made chili aioli is drizzled throughout to add an extra kick.

Weekends are especially busy at Zak the Baker, so give yourself ample time to grab a loaf or stay for a meal.

This Wynwood bakery is more than a one-stop shop for sourdough loaves and other sweet and salty baked goods. It's part bakery and part café, putting diners right in the middle of owner Zak Stern's bustling operation.
