    Croissant, breakfast empanada, cheese and spinach empanada
    Kelly P.

    My husband and I stopped here for breakfast on a Sunday and how delightful it was!! I feel like going out for breakfast as a vegan is always stressful and hard because there are no good options, but endless options here! The girl taking our order was patience and very friendly! A small seating area outside if you want to eat there We got so many different pastries and they were so delicious! I already want to go back Breakfast empanada was my favorite!

    Ropa Vieja

    I bought empanadas and I unfortunately, didn't take any pictures of them. Everything was delicious. My party of four had a mix of the ham and cheese empanadas, cheddar cheese roll up and I think it was called the breakfast empanada which had eggs and sausage. It had so much flavor and was just right with crispiness to be satisfying. Everyone loved them. The dine in was closed but they did have seats outside that was comfortable enough to sit and eat. I didn't catch the lady's name who took our order but she was polite and answered our questions on what some items had inside. We also ordered hot coffees which she made to perfection. For lunch, I ordered the Ropa Vieja which I didn't eat until later but it was also delicious. The yellow rice had peas and the tostones had a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Tomorrow morning, we'll stop by again for breakfast before leaving Miami. Will definitely stop by every time I'm around here.

    Pan con lechon
    James K.

    I always love coming here and will never stop as long as I'm in Florida!!! I had the pan con lechon sandwich and it was out of this world delicious!!! The fries were crunchy, the onion was cooked to perfection and the lechon was like eating the real thing. Everything right down to the mojo was absolutely wonderful. I will always recommend this place to anyone. Also, the main woman who handles the orders at the window is always so kind and helpful. Great and great people. I like that they've added outdoor seating as well. Thank you ladies!!!

    Pastelitos box

    My new favorite place for classic comfort food. I've grown up eating pastelitos and always look for vegan/vegetarian alternatives for classic Latin dishes. This place has definitely jumped to the top of my list. The people working there are so sweet and welcoming. Despite me getting there towards closing, there was no rush. You can tell they all love what they do. Their pastelitos are fresh and warm and filled with so much flavor, I had to go back and get seconds. Definitely recommend their Colombian empanada with potato and Spanish seasoning and the spinach and cheese pastry. Don't forget to ask for hot sauce!! Best pastelitos in Miami!!

    I drove from Broward to get to this place because I had to try a vegan spanish café. Never knew one existed until a few months ago. It's a little tricky to find but your gps will lead you to the exact location. The ladies who work here are so sweet. I got an empanada on the house which I wasn't expecting. I ordered the following: Veggie & Potato Empanada Spinach & "Cheeze" Empanada "Meat" & Potato Empanada Chik'n & Potato Empanada Hawaiin Pastelito Cheese Roll Ups Pastelito Guava n "Cheeze" Pastelito Meat Pastelito Spinach & "Cheeze" Pastelito By far, my favorite is the meat Pastelito. It has a sweet and savory meaty taste. I also loved the Spinach & Cheeze Empanda and the Guava and Cheeze Pastelito. A lot of Savory and Sweet mixed in these pastries which I absolutely love!

    Croqueta Preparada $11.50

    Love this Cuban Vegan Bakery. With my visit, I ordered the meat pastelito, guava and cheese pastry, cheesy roll up, and croqueta preparada. All delicious warm and fresh. Their prices are phenomenal compared to other vegan businesses. Definitely worth the drive. I would recommend!!! Plus: Bakery is located near I-75 exit and other highway lanes

    Breakfast and beef empanadas

    Every bakery item I've had is amazing! The meat empanadas, pizza pastelito, spinach and cheese, cheese roll ups, meat pastelitos, literally everything. The staff are always so so friendly and pleasant too. I go every time I visit family in broward county. 10/10 recommend!!!

    Arroz con pollo
    Bianca P.

    So I use to follow these girls on Instagram when they were selling at the Colombian bakery. I was super excited that they got their own place! It's about a 20 minute drive from me so it wasn't too bad. It's in a warehouse kind of district but easy to find. Since covid they aren't allowing customers in the restaurant to eat so it's ONLY PICK UP! I waited in line about 5 minutes nothing crazy and I started my order. So I ordered arroz imperial and an arroz con pollo as entrees. I got a few pastelitos and empanadas to try different flavors. To drink I got the mango juice. The wait time for everything was a little long about 20 minutes for all the food. The juice was delicious and flavorful, made in house which is great, not that canned garbage. The arroz con pollo is fire, great flavor good portion. The tostones I swear are the best I have ever had. I swear. My wife loves the croqueta preparada. All the pastelitos are great but remember they are fried. I would recommend this place over and over.

    Ropa vieja

    I was searching near and far for anything vegan cuban to try before I left Miami, and I found it!!! Even my Cuban friend couldn't believe the savory flavor. Glad I decided to give it a try. The staff was very personable and recommended some great authentic dishes and tasty empanadas.

    Elizabeth P.

    Yes, yes and YES!! This place is my absolute favorite vegan bakery. I don't know how they do it but they have managed to make the flakiest vegan pastries I have ever had and the flavor is phenomenal. Every time I'm in town this is one of the places I like to visit. So worth the trip!! The team is incredible too. Keep up the great work and congrats on the expansion!

    Meat pastelito (you have to try it)
    Anto E.

    This is not good vegan food, this is THE BEST vegan food. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! I am mostly vegetarian yet still eat cheese/dairy occasionally because it's hard to find places that have vegan options that don't taste too processed or had a weird aftertaste. But I am happy to say I have finally found a place where everything tastes as it should. I found this place through Instagram and decided to give it a try so I came here a day after and I ordered the meat pastelito, 1 croqueta and the Cuban Frita and while I was waiting for my food I drank a soy Milk coffee. The meat pastelito is my favorite thing, it tastes Just like a Cuban meat pastelito. For those of you who have never tasted a Cuban pastelito the meat is sweet and ground and the pastry is warm flaky and also sweet. I can see myself Easily ordering a dozen of these and eating them. The croqueta could have been better it was a little bit hard I don't know if it's supposed to be like that or if it was just overcooked and the flavor for me was not there I wouldn't be ordering it again however I have never tried any other vegan croqueta so I'm not sure if that's more of a realistic taste. The Cuban Frita is basically a burger however it was really good very tasty didn't taste synthetic or vegan and it was a very big size personally for me I feel like it's almost for two people to share along with a side of fries that it comes with. I love this place so much that I came back two days after with my husband who had a taste of the meat pastelito and we almost fought for the last one. We also ordered one country fried chicken sandwich and a spicy country fried chicken sandwich. They were both equally as good extremely filling I definitely recommend this is being your first thing that you try from them as well and it will not lead you astray it will fill you and make you very satisfied.

    Their pastelitos have been amazing every time I've bought them! I never want to stop going and I'm glad to patronize them nearly every week.

    False advertisement. It's a Colombian Bakery, nothing Vegan about it. I walked in and walked out.

    Loved it, but the disclaimer on allergic reactions leads you to question whether or not its really vegan?

    Are there any gluten free options?

    Hello ! Our corn Colombian style empanadas are gluten & soy free. However they are fried with other products that do contain gluten and soy.

    Do they have specific holiday hours?

    Hours are as usual, except for December 31st 7:00am-4:00pm January 1st CLOSED… 

    Is everything on the menu vegan?

    YES!!

    Is this a place where i can sit down and study while having yummy vegan goodies?

    Not really :( it's a Colombian bakery and they just operate out of it so, although it depends on what time you go, it could get busy and a little too loud to study in my opinion.

    Great cakes, all the classic Cuban pastries, and pastelitos and croquetas to die for (or from?)…read more What a way to go! I came here because more than a few people told me about their guava pastelitos. Let me just say, not all guava pastelitos are created equally! You get that after having one of their perfectly flaky and sweet guava pastries. They've been worked on by traditional bakers who know what they're doing. This also extended to the guava and cheese and cheese only pastelitos. So addicting. They'll ruin you for any other. This is a dive in a tiny strip mall with limited parking. There's no seating inside, so it's strictly grab-and-go. They're very efficient and nice.

    Croquetas are my favorite here. Everything else it's just average and typical Cuban bakery stuff…read more The staff is quick to attend but getting good service is a flip of a coin. Sometimes great, others not very pleasant. This looks and feels like any Hialeah bakery that needs some TLC since it looks like it's stuck in 1998. Parking is terrible and sometimes dangerous because people driving on West 4th Ave confuse it with the Daytona 500 race track. But it's worth it for the croquetas. Here is a pro tip: croquetas are $1. But 25 party croquetas is around $8 as of this writing. But you get so much more for your money. If that's too much for you, just share them with friends or family...
