My wife and I recently joined some friends for a beach day in Clearwater. On our way we were taken…read moreto a Cuban bakery that they love and have visited many times. We also fell in love with it and would be a place we go back. Unfortunately we wont be able to visit much, since it is Tampa, however, if you are in the area, you need to check it out and when we are in the area, we will go back. This is an authentic Cuban bakery serving all the classic dishes including cakes, pastries, bread, sandwiches, empanadas, coffee and more. Since our friends had been here before they ordered ahead of time and they ordered a ton of stuff! Some for the beach and some to take back home. My wife and I ordered just a couple of things to eat immediately. Their store is located inside a small shopping center, there is a small parking lot but very small. Inside, it is very clear and bright. They have numerous counters and two sides to the store. One side had cakes and desserts and the other side had the pastries and empanadas and coffee. There was also a counter to stand and eat before you leave which I thought was great. You didn't have to eat in your car, you could eat right there. I was a little worried as a lot of other Cuban bakeries we have been to, the employees did not speak English and my wife and I, do not speak Spanish. However, the cashier we had was super friendly, explained all the different varieties of empanadas and was able to assist us with no issues. Other employees were helping our friends with their order so she rang us up and boxed up all our stuff. I will say even though they ordered ahead, they were not ready so we spent about 15 minutes waiting for them to pack everything up. My wife and I only ordered a couple things. She wanted ham croquettes because they are one of her favorite things. These were delicious, very tasty, I even took one from her and I do not usually prefer these. They were crunchy and full of flavor. We would have ordered more to take home had we not been going to the beach for the day. She also ordered her favorite Cuban pastry, a guava pastry. I did not try it but she loved it, saying it was really good. I usually go for the empanadas. They did have about 4 different types. I went with a beef and then a chorizo. I have never had a chorizo empanada but this was absolutely delicious. Again, I wish I had ordered more. My wife and I both agreed it was better than the beef. Their empanadas are really large, fried, crispy crunchy, really how an empanada should be. Again very good, no notes on the food. It would be great to have more Cuban bakeries in our area but we always make sure to get our fix when visiting South Florida and now when we are in Tampa. We will be back here! I highly recommend swinging by here and trying something. ACES!

It is an authentic Cuban bakery with all the delicious cakes, pastries, bread and more. We were on our way to the beach for a friends birthday and stopped here. Our friends ordered ahead but my husband and I just grabbed a few items when we got there. The have a really nice shop, there is a small parking lot but it is very small. Their store inside had two parts, one side had cakes and such and then the other side was where you could order sandwiches, pastries and such. They also have a counter to stand and eat before you leave. My husband and I do not speak Spanish however, the cashier we had was so friendly and was able to help us with no issues. I have been to other Cuban bakeries where the team members do not speak English and it makes it very hard. She was very nice. Some of the other employees were helping our friends. They did order a bunch of things ahead of time and it was not ready. We ended up being there for a quite a bit waiting for them to get it ready. My husband and I ordered two empanadas, one was beef and the other was chorizo. The chorizo was absolutely delicious and we both agreed it was better than the beef. We should have ordered more. Their empanadas are actually really large as well and they crispy crunchy, exactly how you want an empanada. We also order a few ham croquettes because they are delicious and always great. These were also fantastic. If we were not going to the beach for the day, I would have ordered more to take home. Lastly we ordered a guava pastry since those are my favorite and it was fantastic. We really had nothing negative to say about the food. It was great. I do wish we had more Cuban bakeries in our area but we will for sure come back here when we are in the area. They have really great food and tons of options. You definitely need to stop here if you are in the area.

The building has a café on the west side with counter seating and a separate full-service restaurant around the building. We decided to try the restaurant after finding the café full and were seated promptly. I ordered a classic Cuban meal of rice, beans, chicken, plantains, yuca, and Cuban bread. Unfortunately, the food was somewhat disappointing as it lacked flavor; the chicken was underwhelming, and the Cuban bread seemed stale. To finish, I tried a café con leche, hoping for a redeeming feature given the presence of a dedicated café, but found the coffee to be over-roasted and unpleasant. Overall, I'm still looking for a solid authentic Cuban restaurant since moving to Tampa Bay. This isn't it.
