Bakery or Zak the Baker is a kosher restaurant in the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami, Florida.[1][2] After the bakery was moved into a larger building,[2] Zak the Baker opened a new glatt kosher delicatessen in January 2017[3] in the old bakery location.[2] The associated bakery and café were both founded by local baker Zak Stern.[4] The bakery closes on Saturdays, in keeping with kosher requirements.[2][5]

The bakery has developed a reputation for its sourdough bread, among other items[6][7] such as challah bread.[1]
