So wonderful to find a Cuban bakery that has all the comforts of home (Miami, FL)! Everything was fresh and the staff was enjoyable.

so so

The best tres leches cake I’ve had for sure! On the pricey side, but a good slice of cake nonetheless. The guava and cream cheese pastry is also delicious, but I wouldn’t recommend the beef pastry as much (although it tastes fine too).

Overall would recommend for a quick snack!

Love having this spot near my neighborhood. Awesome baked goods and coffee.

I've never been, and never will. I've the course of a month I was interested in stopping by but wanted to call and see what I could get. I could never get an answer. seems like the only reason they have business is driving the idea of scarcity and being the only cuban bakery in atlanta. Someone should open another.

I'm from Miami and have been looking for authentic Cuban pastries. This is the spot. Everything was so fresh and delicious. 10/10

The food here is beyond amazing! This is also an upscale bakery offering Cake Boss level cakes. The space is small but comfortable, with outdoor seating as well. This well worth the drive. The vibe was so good we sat and ate and drank our Cuban coffee while watching the steady stream of customers come in and pick up their custom cakes, and others come in to grab some pastelitoes and other treats.

Best Cuban bakery in the Southeast. I've tried every Cuban bakery in Florida and no one comes close to the quality of Buena Gente. Every offering is delicious, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu

I love empanadas, but these were a bit too salty and heavily seasoned for my taste.
Was expecting something more balanced in flavor.

I went the other day and the food and drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the iced cafe con leche. There’s actually no seating available inside the building and the only options are some standing-only tables outside, which was a big disappointment as I went with some other people and having a place to sit and drink our coffee would’ve been nice.

Any time in near Emory, I come for the cortadito, the Cuban sandwich, the empanadas. I wish this place was closer to me. It's awesome.

Drove 40 mins round trip out of my way on a Weds to try this Cuban bakery. Totally worth it . Grabbed a selection for me and the girls at my dental office. Everything was warm and a coworker said it tasted like her grandmas cooking. No better endorsement than that. We had just about everything in that case it was delicious, flaky flavor filled.
