I love spending my time viewing all the beautiful pastries in the glass case while I wait for, quite honestly, the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had to be prepared.

It was delicious! I forget what my friends got, but I had a bite of theirs and it was delicious as well. I will say they are very sweet so I couldn't eat it all in one sitting. I've been inside before to pick up delivery orders and I've anyways wanted to try it. I'm glad I got to!

Somebody finally came out of the back and we ordered one cheesecake and also a cake as well. One thing I noticed right off the bat is at they tasted frozen.

It's a new Puerto Rican bakery in the shopping plaza on the corner of Lithia Pinecrest and Lumsden…read moreRd. It's near the Wooden Spoon Diner. It's family owned and local to Brandon. They sell pastries, desserts, breads, sandwiches, and more. It's great that they are close to home. I absolutely love their guava & cheese quesitos. They are so delicious! I'm not usually a fan of this combination, but I love this particular version. Maybe because the cheese filling is sweeter. They also have strawberry and pineapple turnovers. I've only had the pineapple which I haven't seen in this area. It was great! The guava pastries are also a winner. I'd go back many more times just for these items alone. The mallorca wasn't my favorite. It's good, but it's more of a bread consistency than a sweet roll. The cheese and guava on top was very good. It was just too dense in my opinion. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a Puerto Rican gringa whose parents were born on the island. I'm guessing there are two different versions. The version that I know (and my mother loved) is the softer one that is more like a sweet roll. I've also had better ham & cheese mallorca sandwiches. However, I will try their other sandwiches and fritter appetizers for lunch one day. Other than that, everything else I've tried was wonderful. I love that the turnover and pastries are flaky and full of flavor, unlike some other bakeries. They are perfect! I do want to try the donuts and tornillos. I also want to try the breads. There will definitely be more visits, and very soon.

The puerto rican cake was pretty good. The service was friendly.

We bought a dozen and they were absolutely wonderful. My family enjoyed them. We will definitely be back. A must stop by if you're in the area.

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.

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.

Great cheesecake!!…read more We had the Reese's and Strawberry Shortcake cheesecake slices and the Biscoff dessert cup. The cheesecake was thick, creamy and rich. The strawberry shortcake had cake on the bottom with strawberries and a drizzle on top. Very satisfying. The Reese's was very good with peanut butter and chocolate on top. Nice chunks of Reese's throughout. The dessert cup was sooooo good. It is a creamier no bake filling with crust crumbles on the bottom layered with caramel and biscoff cookies. It was very big and filling. Service was quick and friendly. Selection was good for late on a Saturday. Inside is small with a couple tables and a bar in the back.

I'm looking forward to returning soon to explore more of the bakery's offerings!

One of them recently sold their business to Ricopan. That's very sad, because I really loved their guava & cheese quesitos and turnovers. This particular bakery is in a shopping plaza on the corner of Kingsway & Windhorst Rd. I was greeted right away by a very pleasant gentleman. He offered samples of bread pudding. It had good flavor, but the texture was different than what I'm used to. My aunt used to make the best bread pudding. I really need to stop comparing things to what I've had in the past. I decided to get the mallorca with ham & cheese, some pastries, and a café con leche. The coffee was very good. I like that he made it stronger for me. The sandwich had a nice presentation, but there wasn't much filling. They used American cheese instead of a white cheese. Let's just say that it's not my favorite mallorca sandwich in the area. As for the mallorca pastry/bread, it just didn't taste as good as what I've had on the island. I like the sweeter & softer version. However, I do like the tornillos, palmeras, and quesitos. This bakery has a lot of potential. It was somewhat busy on a weekday morning. Hopefully they do well in this area. I really need to go back to try other things like the filled donuts. I did see flan, flancocho, tembleque, and tres leches in the case. I'm just picky when it comes to anything Puerto Rican. Both sides of my family used to make some amazing comida. Please don't let my review discourage you. Try it for yourself.
