Stopped here for breakfast before the beach and had a salami and cheese sandwich on pan de agua. It was so good, definitely one of the best sandwiches I've had. Pair it with a jugo de parcha My boyfriend is from Puerto Rico, and this place brought back so many memories for him. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. They even had their son training, and he was doing a great job! You can tell a lot of the customers are regulars, which made the atmosphere feel warm and welcoming. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in the area! Paramos aquí a desayunar antes de ir a la playa y pedimos un sándwich de salami y queso en pan de agua. Estaba demasiado rico, definitivamente uno de los mejores sándwiches que he probado. Acompáñenlo con un jugo de parcha Mi novio es de Puerto Rico y este lugar le trajo muchísimos recuerdos. El personal fue súper amable y nos hizo sentir como en casa. Incluso tenían a su hijo entrenando y lo estaba haciendo excelente. Se nota que muchos de los clientes son habituales, y eso hizo que el ambiente se sintiera aún más cálido y acogedor. Definitivamente no veo la hora de volver cuando esté por el área. read more

La Creación Bakery 2 - Brandon - La Perla Sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Brandon, Florida

This is my go-to spot for coffee. I stop here every weekend. Once in a while, I will grab a donut or Mallorca bread, but mostly it is just coffee. This place gets busy and can get a little hectic, but they always seem to keep the food moving out of the kitchen swiftly. I recently tried their Steak & Cheese Sandwich, and I'm a fan. The bread is so good. The sandwich was substantial, and it was hot and fresh. read more

First off when you order scrambled eggs with home fries home fries lol it's frozen French fries it's not real home fries. The eggs were dry and barely any ham. Second my friend got the scramble eggs with onions pepper cheese they forgot the cheese. When you go in they treat you better. But ordering Uber Eats etc where you pay more to eat their food you don't get that quality. Just go there and eat don't order through door dash etc. read more

Employees have a lot to learn about kindness and respect towards their customers. One employee was very rude and disrespectful towards me when I was trying to grab an order for DoorDash. They do not say hello, or I'll be with you in just a moment. They just keep on doing what they're doing. read more

4.5 stars for La Creacion. This bakery is not big. But it has a sandwich that not many Puerto Rican carry. The Las De Cayey is a special sandwich with Mallorca bread. This bread dust with sugar powder. It comes with ham and cheese insert. Very delicious. We also got the regular flan that rich in milk base. This is an indulgent dessert. We also got the tamarind juice. Not sour at all. Lovely drink. All good are good. Service is good too. read more

Another day, another bakery! This Puerto Rican bakery serves authentic Puerto Rican sweets and sandwiches, and they also have another location in Tampa. The space is spacious with plenty of indoor seating, and the service was quick and efficient. I tried the media noche sandwich made with their sweet pan sobao bread, along with their coffee and a cheese pastry. The pastry was huge and tasted really good, but the texture was a bit off for me. It was overly flaky, which made it messier than usual to eat. Don't get me wrong--it was still delicious, just a little harder to manage! As for the sandwich, it didn't quite hit the mark. It wasn't bad, but it felt like it was missing something--maybe just a better balance overall of the ingredients. That said, I think the prices here are great, especially considering the portion sizes. I'd definitely come back to try other sandwiches and explore more of their sweet treats. There's a lot on the menu that looks promising! read more

I have been here several times and have even had orders Ubered to me. The breakfast menu is fantastic. The portions are proportionate to price point. The cafe con leche is top tier. They have so many baked goods that are to die for. The customer service has been great every time. The people there are friendly and work quickly to get your order without having to wait long. The decor is tropical and beautiful. The seating areas are clean and well kept. It's a 5/5 stars. Go support local and minority businesses like La Creacion bakery. read more

I've been here several times but usually for just a coffee and pastry. I happen to be in the area and decided to try it for lunch. As always it did not disappoint. I got their version of a Cuban sandwich. The sandwich was pressed nicely and filled with meat and cheese. I also got a quesito, which I split with a friend. It was so much that I ended up taking half of it home. Service is fine as they make everything to order. So don't be in a rush. As for the ambiance, well it's very simple. Latino music and that's about it. The place is decorated cute and there are many pictures of PR on the wall. read more

It's great to finally have a Puerto Rican bakery in Brandon. Especially one that knows how to make mallorca pastries. It's hard to find them here, and I've never seen one with cheese and guava. This was a first for me and it was delightful. The only other mallorcas I've had were on the island at La Bombonera in OSJ and at Panificadora Pepin. Heck, I don't even remember seeing them in Miami back when I was a kid. I just remember Mom saying that no one knows how to make them like they do in Puerto Rico. She was right. Well, these are very close to what I remember although these are a little bit thicker than the ones I've had. I'll definitely go back for these pastries. The café con leche was pretty good too. The sandwiches were good but I have to agree with Carlos. I've had better sandwiches in the area for better prices. Also, they ran out of pan de aqua the day I was there. All they had was pan sobao for sandwiches. I do like sweet bread but I wasn't in the mood for a sweeter type of sandwich bread. The pork on the Cubano was tasty but there was very little lettuce and tomato. The Yunque Tripleta is made with your choice of meat. It was very filling, but I couldn't taste any difference between the steak and the pork. Not that it mattered but it could have been any kind of meat because it was all chopped up together. It's similar to what you'd get at the food trucks in Puerto Rico but less meaty and small. I also got 2 empanadas (chicken & beef). The chicken was the better of the two. I really liked it and would get it again. The passion fruit drink was also very good. I did see that they will be offering chicken guisado and other platters with rice and beans. They didn't have any the last 2 times I was there. I'll update this review once I try it. They have breakfast. They open at 7:00 am which is wonderful. There will be more visits, but not on a Saturday when it's super busy. The service was friendly and welcoming. You order at the counter and they will call your name when it is ready. You may get a pager/buzzer if they have one. It depends on how busy they are that day. The wait for food coming out of the kitchen can take a very long time on a busy Saturday. Keep that in mind if you're in a hurry. There's plenty of dining space inside so you might as well sit down and wait for your food. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday after church and walked right up to the counter to order. We ordered a cuban, cuban swiss cheese toast and a light and bold cafe con leche. We were given a pager and admired all the doughnuts and other sweet treats in the display case. My light coffee needed no sugar but the bold we added a little bit. They were both smooth and delicious. The cuban with the pulled pork was very good but a bit salty. The cuban toast was also great. We came just in time as the line started and did not slow down the entire time we were there. It is not a fancy place by any means but the service was very good and they were friendly. This may be our new Sunday morning coffee and toast spot. read more

It's truly sad but I was there when they first started La Creacion in Tampa Hillsborough Ave, and it was awesome but I've been here a couple of times and I feel the difference or maybe they are soo confident that they are "it" that are no longer caring for the customers. I went Dec 26 round 2pm to get some bread and few pastries.. after waiting for several minutes a young long hair girl finally showed up at counter and told me to wait!, for me its: Keep waiting because I was already waiting! Even the female cook came up front when she saw me waiting! After they finished chitchatting I said: Excuse-me, can I just ask if you sell bread? For my dismay she said, oh we do sometimes but we no longer have bread! there was only a handful of pastries so I figure since she was in a hurry, bear in mind there was only two tables with people sitting there, no bread, bearly any pastries and she didn't have time to be at the register.. why are they even opened!?? Considering that Brandon has one of The Best Bakeries in town, Moreno Bakery, you would think they should try doing better! I wanted to support my PR community but come on, a Puertorican bakery withNo bread?? I just went to Moreno Bakery where they have plenty of pastries All the time, bread, and hot food too, without having to wait for someone "too busy" to attend the register, because they have lots of attendants! I hope they reconsider this location or their reputation is not going to last here in Brandon! read more

A taste from home! The sandwiches, the café con leche, the quesitos, pastelillos de guayaba.. well everything is on point! Love this panadería read more

I stopped by for lunch to look around. Did not notice that they had hot fresh sandwiches. I ordered a Cuban Sandwich fresh and hot the pork was so seasoned to perfection like my mom would do. Something sweet Mallorcas with guava and cream cheese. Excellent it's huge 3 people could share. This place is in Brandon, FL read more

Food was great service was great definitely recommend giving them a try . Sweet treats .

Food is good and has great value for the price. The environment is nice and clean. The workers are authentic Puerto Rican and really add to the essence of the place. The only downside I can notice is this bakery only serves cheap acidic coffee, I've ordered it multiple times and it has always included dirt-like residue collected at the bottom. read more

E ido various veces, hoy fuimos a buscar quesitos, compramos 6, había mucha gente en fila por lo que los dulces se vendieron rápido. Un varón que estaba en caja y creo es el dueño molesto porque se acabaron los quesitos y al parecer se estaban un horneando mas fue a gritarles y reclamarle a los empleados y todo se oyó afuera con la fila llena de clientes. Esta es mi segunda decepción de este lugar y no por la comida, sino por el trato la anterior fue con una cajera que por hablar tanto nos dio un sancocho frío hacen varios meses atrás. Este señor no debería estar frente de un negocio si no sabe tratar empleados y clientes. Aparte de esto no había pan y apenas eran la 1 y cuarto. Definitivamente no regreso. read more

This place has potential as a Puerto Rican deli and bakery. Today I tried the Cubano with Pernil and a steak sandwich. The steak sandwich could be a little better, but the Cubano wasn't bad at all. The bread was soft and sweet. Would like some fattier cuts of pork. The alcapurria was tasty. The best part was probably the coffee, it tasted great. Just what I expect from a Latin cafe. I would definitely come back for coffee and pastries in the future. Sandwiches are a hard sell with lots of competitors close by including La Cubanita which makes excellent sandwiches at a great price. I would give it another shot one day though and I wish them the best. They've only been open for about a week or two. read more

Very nice restaurant, clean, friendly with tasty food. It's a Puerto Rico restaurant whose primary menu is in Spanish. Don't fret each menu item also has an English translation. Everything looks great in the Bakery case but I had to wait to try that on my next visit since I was in the road for the day. I did order to go the steak and cheese on water bread. Outstanding!!! read more

Food is great. Not so much for the service. Excellent when they first opened but has slowly gone down hill from there. Had to wait more than 20 mins for a cheese toast and a juice. There was only one party ahead of me. Staff doesn't seem as happy as they used to be. Hopeful that it will be different next go around. read more

First time visiting and the experience could have been better. To begin with, the girl taking our order was not even trying to be social or friendly, shame because that's one thing that us Puerto Ricans are known for. Customer service is everything! The sandwiches were ok not great. My husband is Cuban and he was disappointed with the Cuban sandwich he ordered. It wasn't automatically pressed and if you had to ask for it, sunshine girl didn't offer. Mine was the Old San Juan and it was supposed to have roasted turkey which they were out of and substituted with sliced deli turkey that was way too salty. I also had quesitos that were excellent! I love seeing my people thrive so I go out of my way to support any Puerto Rican owned business. Not to mention it's been long overdue for there to be a Puerto Rican bakery or restaurant, for that matter, in Brandon. I will go there again to support them and hope that it'll be better. Please do better and set yourself apart! read more

Is an amazing place!! Totally worth it, the food is out of this world and service is top notched.

The best mayorcas and the pastries in town, they take me back to my youth with each bite.

It's a nice cozy place in my opinion. This place represent the best of what Puerto Rico can bring to the table. The staff are very hospitable, bilingual and represent My Puerto Rico read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Farina is amazing! Las de Cayey, Passion fruit juice, and quesitos, I love everything I tried. The staff is very friendly, if the line is getting long, someone will go out of their way to take care of whoever is next, that's customer service! read more
