Sure, your local supermarket probably carries all of your daily grocery necessities, but there are always those special, hard-to-find products that you just have to have. When the supermarket fails you, your next best bet is a gourmet or specialty foods shop. With a wide array of tasty and fresh gourmet goods, these shops are sure to fill any gaps in your cupboard.

With a few locations in South Florida, Gardner’s Market carries some of the freshest produce in town and a great selection of specialty condiments, sauces and desserts. A lot of people also stop by for their delicious deli sandwiches, like the Plymouth which is made with fresh sliced turkey and dried cranberries—yum!

    Can’t believe you do not have JoAnna’s Marketplace! It is one of the few markets in Miami that actually makes its own fresh bread every single day of the week!
