One of the most successful Mediterranean restaurant chains in Miami has just opened an Israeli-style bakery in North Miami.
A very popular Mediterranean restaurant chain in Miami has quietly opened an Israeli-style bakery and brunch spot at SoLé Mia in North Miami.
Motek recently debuted Sesame Bakery by Motek, which serves all-day brunch and offers European and Israeli-inspired pastries in partnership with a renowned pastry chef.
The trendy new spot is spearheaded by the team behind Miami’s beloved Motek, in partnership with Etai Almog, the former head baker at New York’s Balthazar Bakery. Here, guests can expect a fusion of European pastries and dishes with a hint of Israeli flair as the menu features artisanal dishes and freshly baked goods inspired by Mediterranean flavors.
“Sesame Bakery was conceived from a need to bake our own bread and dedicate a space entirely to this craft,” explains owner Charlie Levy. “Originating from our restaurant, Motek, this vision quickly blossomed into the full-fledged bakery and kitchen you see today. We are thrilled to open our doors in the heart of the newly built SoLé Mia community. By blending the best of European baking techniques with the rich flavors of Israel, we are eager to welcome everyone and become an integral part of your daily life.”
The all-day menu features salads such as a Greek, endive, and a classic caesar; sandwiches, which include the “Brooklyn Salmon” bagel (Moroccan bagel, fish schnitzel bun, and a cauliflower cream and tahini pretzel). Signature brunch dishes include avocado toast, zucchini croquette, green shakshuka, and sesame breakfast
Pastries will be displayed on the bakery counter framed with pink subway tiles. Highlights include the pistachio financiers, monkey bread, Jerusalem bagels, orange olive oil cake, and Amarena cherry cheese.
Sesame Bakery is located inside the mixed-use SoLé Mia neighborhood, a luxury apartment neighborhood in North Miami that spans more than 184 acres. The bakery itself accounts for 5,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space that offers rattan-style seating for 165 people. The decoration matches the bakery counter in tones of pink, white, and wooden accents.
