I ordered and paid for a sourdough loaf online. Their website promised that the store would inform you via text message when your loaf was ready for pickup if you signed up for an account. So I signed up and waited. I never received a text message. So I called the store in a few days to inform them that I paid for a sourdough loaf and didn't get a message to pick it up. I was told, in other words, too bad. And then I was asked if I wanted to re-order. A refund was never mentioned. I told them that they have terrible business practices, and it's fraudulent. So, I contacted my bank for a refund. I will never set foot in this store nor recommend it to anyone. The only reason I click one star is that I have to, to post this review. They don't deserve ANY stars.

Quite simply the very best bread I’ve ever seen in America. I just wish there were more locations. And I wish that they didn’t run out of products. It’s quite expensive. But that’s the cost of something that’s incredibly high-quality.

The lamination in their croissants is the best that I have seen in Miami so far.

Do not miss the croissant at this bakery. They are even better than in Paris, France. Those guys know what they are doing. Thank you for keeping bakery heritage at this standard.

This bakery has amazing bread that we always make sure to come for out of our way. But as we purchased their cheesecake that cost (60$!) for a small cake - this is a bit much. But when we realized it wasn’t even baked inside - literally the cake was like yogurt inside - not what a cheesecake cake supposed to be. Not for 60$. The outside parts that were cooked - were good. And the kids ate cake anyway - but if you put such a price on your tiny cake make sure it’s good! O m disappointed

Poor customer service, poor management, they messed up our order (didn’t even make it) and wouldn’t take responsibility for their mistake. Drove really far to get this order and the store manager wouldn’t even come talk to us and instead put the poor girl working there in the position to take the brunt of being in the hot seat. I felt so bad for her. But I insisted on talking to the Manager and when he finally came he never ever once apologized even once for the mistake - this place is the worst. Will never go there again and neither will anyone from my extended family. One person said they must’ve cancelled the order but no one ever called us or anything and then another person said they never saw the order but we had a confirmation with a date for pick up - overall terrible experience and even worse customer service!!!

This place is awful. They don’t know what side is up. I ordered a pie for pick up and they didn’t have it at all. They blamed their online ordering system telling me they’re having issues and there’s nothing they can do about that but they could have called to tell me they’re having issues didn’t make the pie. I drove an hour to pick up the pie on the date specified by them. This place is awful and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

This pastry is worth the wait in line! A lovely, cozy spot that inspires and sets the tone for a great day.
Recently making news when a rival bakery gifted them a new Sourdough starter it can safely be said that True Loaf Bakery hasn’t missed a beat, owner Tomas Strulovic still greeting long lines and prone to selling out of popular items early on weekends.
Sabotaged by a failed air conditioner in July, Zak Stern of Zak the Baker coming through to replace True Loaf’s starter, Saturday morning found the space at 1894 Bay Road fully packed though those with the foresight to pre-order were met with absolutely no wait.
Aggressive for such a small space, items ranging from Viennoserie to Donuts, fans of Brenton Butter Pastries will note True Loaf’s Kouign Amann exceptional thanks to faultless lamination while the Almond Croissant is fairly flaccid without much flavor besides the Sugar and Nuts on top.
Accepting the assignment for Donut flavors in Miami, both Guava Cheese and Dulce de Leche piped inside Brioche performing admirably, there’s something to be said about the nostalgia of an Oatmeal Cookie and from the crisp rim to soft center filled with warm aromatics Strulovic’s is a dream come true.
This is the most amazing bakery. They have almond croissants shaped like a turtle (that's what I see anyways) that is unlike any where else I have tasted. It is subtle on the almond not overwhelming. They have kouign-amann, croissants, brownies, and many other goodies as well as freshly baked breads and on Fridays only they have the most delicious cinnamon buns. Parking can be tricky here as there is mostly street parking. There is often a line out the door so get there early because once they sell out that's it! There isn't much of an atmosphere. I have only always done to go orders but there are now 3 small tables out front. I usually buy pastries from here and go around the corner and order a coffee at Panther Coffee ($$$$) and sit there and eat the pastries and drink the coffee I bought. Must try for tourists and locals alike.

Great bakery! My personal favorites are the mini Babka, the raspberry and cheese pastry, cinnamon buns, cookies. Ok I could eat anything there and will still be amazed by how good it is. It's all absolutely delicious!
