CAO Bakery & Cafe
116 W Hallandale Beach Blvd, Aventura, FL
Crema's Take
“CAO's morning crowd swears by the exceptional staff—particularly baristas like Yaimy and Scarlet who combine genuine warmth with thoughtful service that makes regulars feel genuinely welcomed. The bakery excels at custom pastry selections and party orders, though the coffee and espresso drinks themselves seem secondary to the hospitality experience. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where the people behind the counter matter more than the equipment, which works great if you're in it for the vibe but might disappoint if you're chasing specialty coffee craftsmanship.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
