Edda’s been making her famous sweets for more than 25 years. Created with her signature recipes, the cakes range from the cute (basketballs and rainbows for birthdays) to incredibly ornate tiered wedding confections.
Lucila makes show-stopping cakes that brides-to-be (and all others) covet. Her specialty: fondant rum cakes, a favorite at Cuban weddings (but super tasty whether you’re from the Caribbean or Coconut Grove).
Not too big, not too small, the independent bookstore has a bit of everything: a cafe stocked with carbs and caffeine, a lounge with plenty of cushioned seating, and, of course, books galore.
