 Coral Gables' first gourmet market |
2301 Galiano Street Miami, FL 33134 United States +1 305 461 4343 |
This delightful market is a one-stop shop for culinary delights. The first gourmet market to set up shop in Coral Gables, it has generated a lot of excitement among local epicures. It is a specialty deli, a fishmonger, a chocolatier, and a coffee bar all in one. The thing to look forward to the most is probably the cheese counter, where part owner Carmine Chirico makes his famous fresh mozzarella every day. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Colombian tastes |
16241 New 57th Avenue Miami Lakes Miami, FL 33014-6709 United States +1 305 624 6611 |
While Miami is well known as home to many Cubans, it also has lured immigrants and visitors from throughout Latin America. Here Colombians, joined by other nationalities, stock up on cheese bread hot from the oven, yuca dough stuffed with beef, little rolls, big rings of pastry stuffed with guava paste. Fruit cake, frosted or plain, is visibly positioned and if you can't wait, you can consume some of the things at a counter along one wall. In the tiny market you'll find figs, corn pudding mix, and yuca starch. Review © 2007, Wcities |
