Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop
3435 Main Hwy, Miami, FL
Crema's Take
“This family-friendly Miami institution excels at unhurried mornings and leisurely afternoons, where the real stars are house-made pies and cheesecakes that keep locals returning devotedly—particularly their standout key lime pie, which rivals anything you'll find in the Keys themselves. The display cases overflow with traditional pastries and desserts that smell as good as they taste, making it nearly impossible to resist, and it's the kind of place where you can linger over coffee and conversation without feeling rushed.”

Had a craving for a keylime pie after having been in Florida for about a week. This bake shop was the only one open (closes at 11pm) so I went for a slice. Decent service, a great selection of pies and icecream and assorted cookies. Unfortunately, I found it to be too sweet and not enough tart. $10/slice was also little shocking
I visited Fairman Bake for the first time and was disappointed. The pie I was served looked unappetizing, with messy presentation, which immediately lowered my expectations. When I tasted it, it seemed somewhat stale and didn’t deliver the flavor I anticipated. While I understand premium desserts can be expensive, paying nearly $11 for a small piece felt disproportionate given the product and experience. For a bakery at this price point, presentation and overall experience should match the cost. I hope Fairman Bake improves in these areas to better reflect the quality they charge for.
Absolutely amazing every single time! Nothing here ever disappoints — we love the cakes, pies, cheesecakes, and milkshakes. Everything is out of this world and truly the best we’ve ever had. 100% recommend — there’s not a single miss on the menu!
Always been wanting to stop here and today decided to. Was recommended Key Lime pie which was definitely good. Even better than those I’ve had down in the Keys. Also got guava cheesecake - wow!!! So good. A must stop for anyone with a sweet tooth and wanting a great tasting dessert.
It's tough to stick to a diet when you see the display of delicious looking desserts here! There are pies, cakes, cookies, bars, ice cream, and other goodies. And it smells so good on top of it all! We did an online order and picked it up. It was ready on time. We didn't have to wait at all. The employee was nice and had our order ready. We ordered a Chocolate Chip cookie, a Magic Bar, a Red Velvet Cake slice, a Cookie Monster pie slice, and a Guava White Chocolate Chip cookie. This will be split with my daughter and slowly eaten over 3 days during Mother's Day weekend. They all look delicious! We lucked out and got a parking spot across the street and walked over. The shop is located in the heart of Coconut Grove where there are lots of shops and restaurants and people. It is always busy in this area. There is a second location in Midtown.
