Cafe con leche is so delicious. So far I’ve tired beef and chicken empanadas, chicken croquette, and papa… all were amazing! Customer service is top tier! 10/10 highly recommend.

The empanadas are perfectly crispy on the outside with the most incredibly flavorful filling on the inside. The Cuban and Medianiche sandwiches are some of the best I've ever had. The Tres Leches cake is absolutely to die for. Light and sweet and milky and delicious. It's no wonder they were finalists for a James Beard Award. Chef's kiss!

Finally a good cuban bakery. This was a great find for cuban bakery items, as close as it's going to get to a cuban bakery in Miami. The pastelitos were filled with just the right amount of filling and flavor, the papa rellenas are delicious, empanadas were flavorful and well seasoned. The bakery is small and the selection not as expansive as a regular cuban bakery in Miami, for GA it will do. The service was great, staff was very nice and helpful. Its small in the inside however they have a few small tables and chairs outside that you can sit and eat and have coffee, however come early and get your bakery items early because they close early and only open Thursday-Sunday. Prices are a bit high for bakery items. We spent a little over $50.00 for a few bakery items. Well regardless we will return when we have a craving for cuban pastries.

This wonderful cafe is close to my house and I’ve been many times. Everything I’ve had has been delicious. Faves are: cafe con leche, beef empanada, spinach empanada, guava & cheese pastry, tres leches cake, and Cuban sandwich. The people who work there are great too. I only wish they were open more days and more hours!

I absolutely LOVE this place. But they are never open!!! They’re closed Wednesdays now too. They said they would open back up on the 6th and were still closed then. The amount of times I’ve driven up here just to find them closed…and I stare through the glass heartbroken. I’m not even kidding.

The guava and cream cheese pastry and croquetas were delicious. I'll have to come back and try a sandwich or two.

We stopped by on Saturday to check this bakery out since we are Cubans & have been looking for a good bakery. The young woman at the register was fast and attentive. They have a few choices for pastries that all looked good. We wanted to try one of the sandwiches but it said on the board they are served after 11 am. We took our pastries ordered home since it was raining and not enough tables outside to sit out. All of the pastries and empanadas we ordered were really yummy and filled with lots of seasonings and flavors. Make sure to come early as they seem to get busy as soon as they open up. It's a small store so there isn't any tables and/or chairs inside.
