The restaurant mixes Mediterranean cooking with Florida ingredients, serving plates inspired by spots from Miami to Mal- lorca to Mykonos. Bar Centro will round out the trio, morph- ing from a Spanish café to a cocktail spot as the day progresses. The drink menu stars sig- natures like the “Daisy de Grana” topped with Andrés’ salt air foam, and in the morn- ing, customers can expect fresh juices and Spanish pastries, including xuxos (what An- drés calls “the croissant of the gods”) and pressed sandwiches. Evening options feature José’s mother’s croquetas and a decadent four-cheese grilled cheese. The Bazaar by José Andrés. 4041 Collins Ave., Miami Beach. Opening in 2025. OLEE FOWLER ▼ FORT LAUDERDALE “KNAUS BERRY OF FORT LAUDERDALE” CINNAMON ROLL GOES VIRAL How far would you go for a cinnamon bun? For the loyal customers of Archibald’s Village Bakery in Fort Lauderdale Beach, the answer is simple: whatever it takes — even if that means waking up before sunrise on a week- end morning. Because, by 7 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, the line for their legendary cin- namon rolls is already growing, with people eager to snag one of the limited quantities available before they sell out. The cinnamon rolls, made from a cherished family recipe passed down from co-owner/chef Justin Ma- thys-Archibald’s mother, have become a weekend tradition for many. These aren’t your average cinnamon rolls, either. Archibald’s version — which has gone viral on TikTok — has earned a devoted fol- lowing thanks to its bold flavors and perfect balance of spicy cinnamon and cool cream cheese frosting. So what’s the catch? You can only get them on the weekend, they’re only available while supplies last, and the bakery only produces approximately 100 at a time. Local food blog- ger @MikeIsEating described the coveted buns in a TikTok video as being “perfectly shaped with an amazing texture and have a whopping of cream cheese icing on top.” Its limited availability (and the fact that folks be- gin lining up at the break of dawn) are why area foodies like @ConiBop on TikTok and New Times readers are comparing the rolls to those made at Knaus Berry Farm in Home- stead, which is known to have long lines on weekends. “This is the Knaus Berry of Fort Lauderdale,” a reader tells New Times. What makes Archibald’s cinnamon rolls so special? For starters, they are far from the typical sweet treat. The cinnamon roll itself is loaded with spice, offering a bold kick that will wake up your taste buds, while the cream cheese frosting balances out the heat with its cool, tangy flavor. The result? A cinnamon roll that’s both spicy and sweet, with a texture so perfect that it’s no wonder customers are willing to stand in line for it. Despite the competition from bakeries across the region, Archibald’s has created a product that people can’t get enough of. In fact, with more than 300 five-star reviews on Yelp, Archibald’s has become one of Fort Lau- derdale’s go-to spots, ranking number three on Yelp’s list of the 100 best restaurants in the country in 2023. The bakery’s success isn’t just due to the cinnamon rolls. Mathys-Archibald and his husband Christopher Mathys-Archibald opened Archibald’s Village Bakery after ex- ploring similar concepts across Florida, Seat- tle, and Europe. Inspired by their travels, the couple decided to bring their vision to life in Fort Lauderdale Beach’s North Beach Village neighborhood, offering a menu that blends European-inspired pastries with local flavors. Beyond cinnamon rolls, the bakery serves a wide variety of items, including breakfast wraps, hearty lunch options, and quiches. The full coffee menu features locally roasted Blooming Bean coffee.There’s also a grab- and-go section stocked with sandwiches, wraps, and yogurt parfaits.
