La Provence

This bakery was spectacular. The servers were attentive and outgoing. The desserts were great. I have to say the rasberry tart tasted exactly like one I picked up in Paris! I will certainly be returning for my next trip in South Beach! And as for the reviewer who mentioned a terrible creme brulee...I just checked and there is no creme brulee on the menu, you must have the wrong place.

so, u are no longer in Paris, France......don't worry, South of France is not that far, it's actually on SOBE....
and for the pastry...best priced, best baked, best quality, I've found in Miami. Zagat, where were u lately? Go there and give me a rate~!

Went for 'French' pastries, specially good authentic eclairs and napoleons, found stale old pastry instead, fillings were awful. and to add to the aggravation when mentioned to the attendant she seems not to care about it.
We also told her that the creme brulee tasted a little sour, she informed us that they make it with sour cream! Yuck- just try to find another pastry chef that does that!?!? There are better places for food and desserts in Miami

Best bread, pastries, and overall breakfast experience!
A must ""go there"" if you come to Miami
