The Bakery: A New Take on French Pastry
It all began in 2018 with a vision: to redefine French pastries for a new era. Chef Carolina Molea, inspired by her passion for baking and her commitment to ethical living, embarked on a journey to create something extraordinary—L’Artisane Bakery. Nestled in the charming streets of Coral Gables, our bakery is a haven where the art of French patisserie blends seamlessly with the bold flavors of Carolina’s Latin roots, all crafted with 100% plant-based ingredients.
​
Step into our bakery, and you’ll be greeted by the heavenly aroma of freshly baked croissants. Each one is a masterpiece, from the buttery layers of the classic Almond Croissant to our seasonal creations that keep the experience exciting. Our vibrant macarons and gourmet cookies bring a pop of color and indulgence to your day. And just when you thought it couldn’t get better, we introduced our line of vegan donuts—each one a sweet little work of art.
