It's tempting to travel on a whim JUST for a taste of the best desserts in the world, wouldn't you agree?
Well, that's IF you have enough funds to cover the trips-- airfare, hotel accommodations, shopping budget, and all.
However, if you're from Miami, I'm pretty sure you know you won't have to look too far for the best sweet treats in town-- because Little Havana is just a few miles away!
Teeming with vibrant culture, Little Havana is the heart of Miami's Cuban diaspora-- and a vital part of what makes Magic City a dynamic cultural destination.
The community is known for its constant celebration of Cuban heritage, from historic landmarks and monthly festivities to the country's quirky charms-- cigars, musical instruments, and tropical fruit-- a welcoming first stop for tourists looking to see a "different" Miami-- with a side of plantains.
And yes, you guessed it! It's also famous for its array of delicious food, specifically Latin American and Cuban, both the savory and sweet kinds!
I'm pretty sure you'll find all the sweets you're craving in this area-- or a few minutes away from it, thanks to West Downtown and Brickell!
So, to give you an idea of where to get your sweet fix, here are the top 5 dessert places you can try while you're here (in no particular order).
