    I love Cuban coffee and the iced coffee at Cao didn't disappoint! It was creamy, flavorful, and strong. I ordered mine with no additional flavor or sugar added and it was exactly how I wanted. However, if you like a sweeter coffee drink, definitely add some caramel and sugar. My boyfriend ordered his that way and it reminded me of any seasonal flavored iced latte you get at a cute coffee shop. I also picked up two pastries to go. One was the pastelito with guava y queso and the other was some sort of eclair cake. Both were phenomenal. The staff were friendly in taking my order and the food and drinks were ready to go within 5 mins. They do have some seating available inside and the parking lot is huge as it's located in a plaza with several other businesses.

    Stopped by CAO this morning and their bacon, egg & cheese sandwich did not disappoint! Hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Easily one of the best breakfast spots around.

    Excellent food and baked goods! Miami style with a flavor that's spot on. We had the pastilles and they were delicious! Empanadas were crispy and so good as well.

    Great atmosphere, very clean! Excellent service and at last, real Cuban food close to home. Pastelitos, café, cakes, sandwiches, authentic Cuban food!

    This half of my "media noche"  was so good!

    I love the Cuban concept! This place has a great feel for South Florida. I strongly recommend the Guava pastry and the Cortado.

I ordered the Big version of the Prime Beef sandwich thinking I'd take half home for leftovers. Unfortunately the 1st have was so darn delicious, I ate the 2nd half.

I stopped in after doing some shopping and placed my order online so it would be ready by the time I finished. I ordered the chicken club sandwich and a Dream Bar. It was after 8 p.m. on a Saturday, and the restaurant was pretty much empty. My order was ready ahead of the quoted pickup time, which I appreciated. However, the sandwich didn't quite live up to what I remember. The bread didn't taste as fresh as I expected, and the sandwich was lukewarm instead of warm and toasty like I've experienced at other locations. The Dream Bar was also not quite what I remembered. It didn't have the same richness or taste that made it a favorite for me in the past. I'm not sure if the time of day impacted the quality, but the overall experience just didn't match the Potbelly I remember from Chicago. That said, because I've had great experiences with this brand in the past, I'd be open to giving this location another try.

    I recently tried D'Amico and Sons Italian Market and Bakery. It's located in one of the last open…read moremalls in the Orlando and Central Florida area. This mall does feel like a backroom, or liminal space. They are as advertised, a local Italian market, deli, and bakery. The trifecta, if you will. It's got a huge parking space area and located next to a gym. They offer a lot of Italian goods from cheese to meats to pistachio spread to snacks. The meat counter offers hot sandwiches and they even have a sandwich of the week. They have a bakery counter and to no one's surprise, many items will be sold out if you go at the end of the day. This was disappointing for me as I really wanted to try their pistachio sfogliatelle. So we got two huge sandwiches, which they cut in half for you, and some baked goods and coffee. They have a coffee counter and the lattes are good. We tried the sandwich of the week, which was a breaded chicken cutlet on fresh baked bread with caramelized onions, fig jam, and provolone. This was a 8.5/10. It was good, rich, and fatty. Not a light meal sandwich. Definitely had half of it and felt very full. We also got the Soprano, which was a breaded chicken cutlet on fresh baked bread with pesto, tomatoes, prosciutto, arugula, and fresh shaved parmesan. This was a 9/10. Lighter on the body than the other sandwich, but it was still filling and I can only have one half at a time. The sandwiches came out to about $30 for both, but that's almost four meals right there for that price. For the baked goods, we tried the Nutella sfogliatelle, pistachio creampuff, and a pistachio cannoli. A sfogliatelle is a laminated pastry that looks like a lobster tail. This was delicious and crispy and sweet. I wish I could have tried the pistachio one. This was a 8.5/10. The pistachio creampuff surprised me. This was a 8.5/10. I thought it was going to be too sweet, but it was good. Pistachio flavor could have been stronger. The pistachio cannoli was a 10/10. This was insanely good and perfect and I should have bought five of them. We tried the cookie butter latte from the cafe. This was a 9/10. The cookie butter was well mixed with the espresso and the espresso was strong and high quality. Overall, this place was a 9.5/10 and I will be back. I mean those prices and that quality moves it from the "let me try" list to the "let me be a regular" list.

I came in, looked the menu up and down, and shortly afterwards a gentleman behind the counter eagerly took my order. Then, a few minutes later the sandwich was done to perfection and wrapped tightly. That was great customer service. Plus, they had a question and communicated to me that they had a question. This doesn't happen at all local delis. The store is clean and well stocked. There is much more of selection here of premade and/freshly made desserts, dinners, etc. Will be back for sure.

You could tell the hot dog was grilled perfectly and had amazing flavor. We also ordered onion rings and their potato salad, and both were excellent.

Side of fries too. The sandwiches were hot, fresh and delicious with just the right amount of cheese on warm bread.
