Brioche in Miami Beach

While staying in Miami Beach I discovered a cool French bakery named La Brioche Doree.  I decided to try it out for breakfast one morning. 

The exterior was inviting with its trendy look and outdoor tables.  Once I entered, the interior convinced me to stay, with its bright colors, retro furniture, and oh yea, the free wifi.

Their menu includes French pastries, breads, sandwiches, salads and more.  I enjoyed a croissant and a brioche.

The locals seem to come in for coffee and hang out for a while.  While I was there, I overheard another newcomer repeatedly comment to her boyfriend how cute the place was.  Could he not tell for himself?

On your next trip to Miami Beach, stop in and grab a quick treat, or, come and stay for a nice meal.  I think you’ll find it a nice place to slow the pace down a little.

Oreo

I just barely made it to my South Beach hotel from the Miami Airport.  I went out onto the street to roam around and see what was around me.

I heard loud laughter and what sounded like some people having a fun time.  I looked across the street and saw a group of women coming out of their hotel, definitely ready to party.  They were hollering and gaining quite of bit of attention.

They crossed the street toward me in an effort to hail a cab.  They were obviously heading out to clubs for the night...with their low cut tops, mini skirts and their hair all done.

As our paths were about to intersect, I thought of the brilliant idea to get a picture with them.  They were happy to oblige.

As you can tell from the pic, it didn't turn out very well.  But, hopefully you can see their enthusiasm even through the blurriness.

In case you can't tell, I'm the cream filling in the middle of this Oreo.
