CAO Bakery & Cafe

This bakery is exceptional; I frequent it during my stays in Fort Lauderdale. Their pastries are superior, perfectly baked unlike many Cuban bakeries that overcook theirs. The generous portions and delicious taste are noteworthy.

Food was good but the cashier that was there was just talking nonstop with another customer I waited 20 min for her to finish and then she saw me there and left to do something else instead of taking my order, very rude.

They deserve every five star review that they have…

Every morning when I come inside, the girls are always happy and greeting you with a friendly smile. If they mess up anything on a drink, they are always more than happy to fix it without having an attitude. The pastries are delicious and the place is always very clean.

I also appreciate the fact that they cover the Cake slices with plastic on the side so that they don’t get stale and dry. A lot of Cuban bakeries don’t do that. I just love coming here. Thanks guys.

Road service can't follow directions and it's not worth going there to wait online for 20 minutes and then be told that they can't follow your order

When I moved to Broward over ten years ago, the thing I missed most about Miami was the Cuban bakeries on every corner. This place puts that little slice of my childhood memories back in my life. Now, I can bring my kids here on Sunday mornings 🌅 and create those same memories I have with my parents, tradition. Whatever you get here, always leave with a loaf of bread 🍞. Enjoy!

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect guava and cheese and I so happy that I do not have to look any further! Just get everything! The breakfast sandwiches would be a staple if I lived out here. Briseida was so kind and patient! Actually everyone there was really sweet! Definitely going back!

Great customer service

Wounderful Choice for Mother”s Day - everything was baked to perfection, very fresh, and delightfully flavorful! My first choice for excellent empanadas, croquettes, and fresh soft light cuban tostadas, a little slice Carrot Cake perfection.

The best!!! You try it one time and I promise you you’ll be back every single day. The best egg sandwiches, the best pastries. I’m telling you the best cup of coffee try it one time that’s all I’m saying and you will never ever go anywhere else.

As a customer we should be offered the option to immediately be able to cancel an order if an order was mistakenly placed at the wrong location. Frustration 101

Place is nice for no good reason gentrified spot over priced on everything !!!! Not worth spending your hard earned money here when I get way more at actual local bakery

The outside patio isn't the cleanest.

Updated review!!!
I decided to give my favorite spot another chance and they did not disappoint ! The coffee has been strong dark and delicious my last 3 visits and I’m thril! Thank you for taking the time to fix the situation. Once again a satisfied customer.

I have worked nearby and been going here for about 5 years and it used to be amazing but as of lately I keep paying extra for 2!!! Shots of espresso in my coffee and the keep serving my partner and I a cup of milk with sweetener. Very unhappy

Delicious food and service is always excellent! I had lost my purse at this location and we weren’t sure if it was stolen or where it had gone, but Leonardo went above and beyond to find it in the trash and return it to me and made sure everything was still in it!!! I was so appreciative. Leonardo you are the best and your manager should give you a raise!!

Supporting Local Businesses: A Sweet Experience

When it comes to supporting local businesses, personal experiences often tell a different story than reviews. I recently had the pleasure of ordering chocoflan and buñuelos from this local spot that had received mixed online feedback. Contrary to those reviews, my experience was nothing short of delightful. The packaging was spot-on—neat and eye-catching. The flan's presentation was perfect, showcasing the care and attention the business puts into its products. Add to this the reasonable pricing, and it becomes clear why firsthand experiences are crucial before forming an opinion.
