Bettant Bakery & Café

Bettant Bakery & Café is a bakery in Miami Beach, FL, located on Washington Avenue in South Beach's entertainment district. Founded as a French family baking tradition in 1935 and established at this Miami Beach location in 2019, the bakery serves breads, viennoiseries, sandwiches, and coffee. Owner Matthieu Bettant is a fourth-generation baker whose family ran the original Maison Bettant in Villeurbanne, France, beginning with his great-grandparents Albert and Antonia, continuing through Marcel and Jacqueline, and now operated by his parents François and Corinne since 1981. Matthieu and his wife Miriam both studied at Institut Paul Bocuse before taking over the Art Deco storefront in March 2019.
