Zak the Baker


Bakery or Zak the Baker is a kosher restaurant in the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami, Florida.

The associated bakery and café were both founded by local baker Zak Stern. The bakery closes on Saturdays, in keeping with kosher requirements.
The bakery has developed a reputation for its sourdough bread, among other items such as challah bread.
