Excellent service, the lechon was spot on delicious including the skin (the cuero) was off the chain. Although a bit small in the restaurant, there is a great amount of parking available

My husband and I have been loyal customers since a week after this place opened. They’ve gotten a TON of business (I honestly think they should franchise!) and we’ve always loved coming in and seeing their smiling faces, especially from the older lady who always makes sure to greet us with the most enthusiastic greeting!! Unfortunately, the downside of small businesses is when they start accumulating more business, something has to fall short- whether it be the service, the quality of food, or the environment. Recently some of our orders have been not up to the standard we were so used to. But we never bring it up and give grace because we can understand as business owners ourselves how hard it can be to juggle so many hats as a local business, they are 100% a town favorite! I can agree that the cashier has an attitude and sometimes is very nice but other times appears burnt out or as if she can’t wait to leave. Asking questions seems to be such a burden or irritation. The owner has always been top notch, but recently gave us attitude and kept talking over me when I was expressing concern over such a small misunderstanding between me and one of the servers who seemed to not understand me. I even advised my husband to address the matter away from customers to not upset the workers and come off as though we were trying to embarrass them for something so small. I NEVER complain because these people have been nothing but nice to us, which is why i felt so comfortable addressing the issue as well but to no avail. I don’t expect anything but common courtesy. The cashier definitely made some passive aggressive remarks to my husband as well and my food was exactly how I thought it would be because they refused to just give me a fresh servicing of pernil. The order I had was extremely dry and the skin was sticky, cold and chewy. I felt patronized and as if I was talking like a Karen when i was extremely apologetic for even bringing up the issue and causing confusion at all but the cashier rolled her eyes at my husband and they didn’t even say bye to us lol they just continued talking in spanish as if i couldn’t understand them. Unfortunately I will continue eating here because they have some of the best latin food in tampa IMO, but I will not be getting my usual order due to lack of consistency. I hope they will continue to grow as a business and accept constructive criticism from their loyal customers as an opportunity to improve and not be so defensive in the future because we have turned so many people onto this establishment and have so many memories of me fueling my pregnancy cravings here and they were the first place we stopped at on the way home from the hospital when i delivered my baby girl. In the future, I will just be cordial and continue to support them because overall we’ve had great experiences which is why i gave the 5 stars. I wish them nothing but success and blessings moving forward!

Tried so many of the desserts & each one was a hit with our family. Lunch was great & I had the best coffee. Excellent atmosphere. Thanks for a great experience & amazing food. (Trust me, if you're driving by & stuck at the light like we were, you might as well take that right & treat yourself to some Kinkas. - We'll be making this a regular stop from now on.)
Very nice place to eat! Staff is extremely friendly and food is great! It reminds me of home! PUERTO RICO ??! The Medianoche sandwich soooo good, the quesitos excellent, the alcapurrias to die for and the Sancocho OMG! Like the one my grandpa used to make! I will be a customer forever!

Stopped by Kinka’s Bakery & Cafe this morning. From the moment we walked in everyone was welcoming and explained everything. We had just returned from vacation in Puerto Rico (Caguas) where we fell in love with the food, family and traditions. The food was just as good if not better and bigger when compared. We loved breakfast so much we bought almost one of everything from the bakery and plan to go back for lunch!

OMG to another level. Excellent service, delicious food, delicious desserts and an unbeatable atmosphere. I recommend it 200%, go, you won't regret it. Gloria Alvarez, winter Haven
Recently, I visited this bakery, and my order took a very long time to be ready. Meanwhile their kitchen staff was chatting between each others and looking at their cellphones on what appeared to be social media content.About two months ago, I witnessed a female customer trying to explain to four staff members how she likes her cafe con leche (coffee with milk) prepared.A male guy with glasses informed the customer that they do not do customized/modified orders. The customer only wanted less espresso coffee and more milk. It just doesn't get any easier than that. And of course, meanwhile the ordering line kept getting longer because it took 4 staff members to handle a simple special-order request from a customer.

The food was delicious and authentic. You can tell the bread and pastries are baked daily. The owner was very friendly. The aguacate con bacon was absolutely delicious and the guava and cheese mallorca to die for.

First let me say the food was great but I was in there a couple weeks ago and a guy behind the counter acted like he had something better to do. I was in there today waiting in line and somebody came up behind me and they took his order while completely ignoring me so I walked out. It's a shame because I've spent quite a bit of money in there and enjoy the desserts and the food but I will not spend money in a place that treats their customers like that
Love the pastries and food! Atmosphere is welcoming.
