Friday Foodie in Miami: Best Key Lime Pie – Lee & Marie's Cakery / Deliciously Timeless with a Unique Mission! Part 1 of 2 @leeandmaries


Key lime pie at Lee & Marie's
I love when I research something for one reason and come across an entirely new and better find! I was looking for my usual Friday Foodie post but something that would be special to Florida as I am traveling this week; not only did I find an amazing Key Lime Pie at Lee & Marie's Cakery in Miami but also an owner on a unique mission. Lee & Marie's provides employment opportunities for autistic adults, helping to guide them on a path to greater independence and an enhanced quality of life. Absolutely prefect to highlight in my KRUSING AMERICA blog! 
Read on to learn more:

Lee &Marie’s Cakery, a dynamic bakery/cafe hybrid or Cakery dishes up delicious baked goods, sandwiches, salads and other mouthwatering delights. Located at 40 South Pointe Drive on South Beach, the indoor/outdoor 50 seat cafe is the brainchild of social entrepreneur and philanthropist, owner Andrea “Andy” Travaglia.

Named to honor the recipes of Travaglia daughters grandmothers, the quaint, homey shop serves breakfast and lunch daily, with a menu of freshly made items including a roster of scrumptious cakes, cookies and confections, which changes day-to-day based on the availability of local ingredients. Everything is made from scratch in L&M's production kitchen, housed in the heart of the Wynwood Arts District in Miami, FL.
