Small Business Saturday (Sweets): Local Stops You Need To Know

We all did the turkey thing, and many did the Black Friday shopping thing, but today is Small Business Saturday. We’re all about shopping local and supporting our community. I try my best to buy most of my goodies locally, for several reasons - I know where it’s coming from, I know there’s lots of love put into it, and it just feels good to support the smaller businesses.

In honor of Small Business Saturday, this week’s Saturday Sweets will highlight some of Miami’s best small businesses serving sweets that everyone needs to check out.
