    Had my eye on hitting up this place to pick up a Cuban coffee and pastelito de guayaba con queso. Yummmm The coffee was perfect and came with the signature little shot cups. And the guava and cheese pastelito? Chef's kiss. My husband got a cafe con leche and he likes his coffee light and sweet. I like mine less sweet. He said although it was not as sweet as he normally takes his coffee, it was perfect nonetheless. I had to agree. They have a hot bar and serve all sorts of hot food, sandwiches and such, not just pastries and cakes. We nabbed some croquetas to go, which are made to order and kept it moving. I have never had a Cuban cake before. The boys got a cupcake and the cake is VERY moist. It is just different, in a good way. Frosting was on point too, not heavy. Some people complained that if you are non/Spanish speaking service is lackluster. I cannot even verify because everyone that came in, including us were Spanish speaking so...idk. But you can tell that this is favorite local spot and a family member recommended it. When we come back to visit, you can find me here.

    Heard from our friends, Pastry Boutique, has exceptional pastries and highly recommended. On our…read morefirst visit, we were not disappointed and planned for many return visits! We sampled the Quiche of the day, Quiche Lorraine and an almond croissant with a Pistachio Vanilla Latte. Both items hit the 5-star category! Croissant was flaky, crunchy and the best Quiche in Florida! The Banana Nut Bread, Sticky Buns, Cinnamon Roll, Tiramisu and cookies looked so amazing, you want to take a few home! We were early and were able to sit in one of inside tables. As we were tasting the latte, more than a dozen of patrons stop by for pickup orders. The ambiance is plain and simple. The lovely young lady behind the counter gave us exceptional service with a friendly smile! This is a cashless facility so make sure you have your credit card or e-wallet with you. This is a best place to go for pastry and coffee in Estero!

    Food is delicious! We had the ham and cheese croissant and a chocolate caramel cookie with coffee…read moreand an Americano. Everything was top notch. Croissant was buttery and flakey and the ham and cheese didn't overpower the delicate taste of the croissant. The cookie was rich and gooey and so good! We had to take most of it to go. We ate on pretty plates and cups and it was just lovely. The seating and dining set up was clean and inviting and just pretty! Love our little experience at the Pastry Boutique:) Will certainly visit again.

    This local Cuban Bakery is located near Bravo Mexican Grocery Store. The establishment sales…read morepastries, bread, coffee, cakes, breakfast, sandwiches and hot food for lunch. My first visit here about little after 8 AM on a Friday morning. The place is clean; and there are six inside tables. Several customers having breakfast inside and several customers pickup their breakfast items to go. Not knowing their menu that well, so I said, "Café con leche, Pastelito de Guayaba y Queso, Café Mediano, Por Favor!" The lady behind the counter smiled and said, "Si!" The pastelito is full of Guaya, flicky and crunchy and the Café con leche hit the spot. Now my caffeine crave is fixed. I looked around, beside breakfast items, it has a huge selection of pastries, smoothies, juices, Cuban Pizza and hot food for lunch. Very interesting, will be back to sample their smoothies, Cuban Pizza and hot food!

    On 06/01/2026, my boyfriend and I came in for breakfast. When placing our order, I clearly…read morerequested two breakfast specials--one with scrambled eggs and the other with soft-fried eggs. When our food arrived, I immediately noticed that both plates had scrambled eggs. I politely said, "Excuse me, but I asked for one order to have soft-fried eggs." The waitress, a Spanish woman with bangs, responded in a very rude and unprofessional manner. She insisted that she never heard me request soft-fried eggs, rolled her eyes, and shook her head instead of simply addressing the mistake. After my boyfriend and I both confirmed that I had clearly stated the order correctly, she reluctantly took the plate back to the kitchen. At that point, we were honestly put off by her attitude. I no longer felt comfortable having the meal remade after the way she reacted. We left the plate on the table, took our coffee, and decided to leave. I can't say for certain whether her treatment of us was personal, but as a person of color, the interaction did not feel welcoming. What I can say with certainty is that the level of customer service we received was unacceptable and far below what customers should expect. The food was actually good, but good food alone is not enough to make up for poor service. Unfortunately, I will not be spending my money here again.
