Stopped here on Christmas day- yes, they were open- and picked up a tray of guava pastries, cafe con leche, a colada and a cuban sandwich for later. All of it was amazing!! They had a huge line inside and in the drive thru and everyone was patient and friendly. Staff was working as fast as they could to keep up. Going back today to load up some treats to take back North with us. We do not have delicious, ethnic food so taking advantage while we can! read more

Food was amazing ! Service a 3/10 through the drive-through Lady was a bit rude simply bc I asked a couple of questions about what they had she said and I quote " ma'am the menu is right there " It was my first time going and I was starving read more

Outstanding high quality all around. We ordered two beautiful dinner plates and several cakes and pastries. We will be back for sure.

I was sick and had to door dash. I ordered maikels Bakery because it was close to my house and their menu looked appealing. I got chicken soup. I also ordered Cafe con leche, chruzzo, egg and cheese sandwich. Service was fast , food was hot, freash and really good. I gave it a second try 2 days later with lunch. I had pork, black beans rice and plantains.Plantains. my sons and I shared the plate. The serving size was plentiful and delicious. Breakfast and lunch was amazing. I would recommend this location you will enjoy. I forgot to take a picture because i was starving. read more

Ordering process is very awkward, and the food was the worst of experienced! The cuban bread was stale, and the overall price was crazy high plus it took about 20 minutes to prepare read more

A 24 hour bakery on Waters and Hanley, the selection of sweets is amazing. A ample sampling of prepared foods is also included. Service was quick and polite, there is no seating so everything is packed to go. Food serving size is enormous on free-serve items. Parking is on the side with easy access and exit from both streets. Food quality is moderately good and bakery items are very good. Clean and visually appealing. Give it a try. read more

Maikel Bakery is new to the neighborhood and has already made a positive impact. While it's described as a bakery, it's more than that. Besides a tremendous variety of bake goods, they also offer tasty Hispanic cuisine. When you walk in, the food choices are overwhelming! I ordered a Cuban sandwich, a side of yellow rice and black beans as well as a pastry. The amount of food you get for the money is very good. The establishment isn't a restaurant so don't expect inside sitting at a table to enjoy a meal. While there is an outside dinning area, the set up is designed primarily for pickup orders. Incidentally, while the staff is friendly, it can sometimes be a struggle to communicate since they mostly speak Spanish. It's not too bad though because all you have to do is smile, point at what you want and they'll do the rest. Miakel does have a drive thru, but I wouldn't recommend using it (especially if the place is packed) unless you know exactly what you want to order - as I said earlier, the food choices are overwhelming. Do I recommend this place? I certainly do! read more

Update: We tried again just for the churros, but we got plain dough with no sugar. Definitely not how they were last time we ordered. So, at this point, I have literally nothing to recommend here. Dropping it another star. read more

I am baffled by the horrible reviews. We were on vacation, staying at an AirBNB close by when we spotted this place. My friends and I love Cuban coffee so we had to try. I speak horribly broken Spanish, but I do give effort. My friends speak only English. After the first morning we were hooked! Everything we tried was delish!! And we ordered both, inside and at the speaker. Never had a problem. We had some misses in communication one time, but it still resulted in us getting our food correctly. We were treated perfectly fine. I recommend going inside if you're unsure or don't speak any Spanish so you can point. Which is what I did with the donuts, which were so amazing. I fell in love with the chorizo empanadas too! read more

Unfortunately I only speak English so was treated like dirt. I ordered 3 dozen donuts. I'd love to support local but how can I when they treat a senior with such disdain? Their cakes look amazing. Maybe put a sign on the door to warn us that we are not welcome read more

Horrible bad food , all the food is bad here , we got very sick food poisoning after eating their food . Stay away from this location. Food is in bad condition will make you sick . Horrible bad rice tamales and meat everything was bad we spend 3 days vomiting and diarrhea. Toda la comida aquí está mala , el arroz acido, mi esposo terminó en el hospital . Todo sabia horrible . No coman aquí . Vomitos diarrea náuseas . read more

Its okay. Sometimes they get my order wrong food does not taste bad i only come here to snack or for breakfast

I don't fully agree with the reviews of this place, yes the costumer service is beyond unacceptable but the food balance it out Lol, it makes the experience 50/50! I don't know understand la mala cara and lack of proper manners .Pero bueno; their batidos de mango and mamey are amazing and their croquetas and pan de queso are heavenly delicious! read more

Well, this was my first and last time here. I ordered a Cuban Burger and it was awful. The bread was stale and falling apart, the meat was pre-cooked and reheated. I was told there was chirizo on the burger.-There was not. It came with 2 onions and tomato and Potato snack sticks on it. (huh?) It did not even come with salt and pepper. It was bland, overcooked, and well, even the sight of it was unappetizing. After a couple of bites, II ended up throwing it away. I have always enjoyed the flavorful Spanish foods from around the world in which many Latinos take so much pride in. But, unfortunately, this was such a disaster of a meal that I doubt I will ever go back. It's a shame too- because from what I could see, the baked goods looked nice but I didn't try any of those. Plus side-the servers were friendly. read more

Absolutely amazing!!! Will be going back and have already recommended to everyone!!! The food and the pastries were all amazing!!!

Terribly poor service, food over priced and I became sick after eating it. I had high hopes as the cakes and pastries looked amazing. It was extremely disappointing. read more

Great pastries, a bit costly but on occasion it's worth it . Workers are a bit in a rush to take care of you which I didn't appreciate. But good is good . read more

The service here is awful. The attendants always seem to be in a rush and bad mood. The food tastes old like it has been sitting for a few days. Do not recommend. Will not be going back. read more

In Boston there is an amazing pastry shop called Mike's Pastry that when it opens its doors you're greeted by multiple staff ready to take your order and there's always a wait because everybody in Boston knows that that's the place you go for pastry. Here in Tampa Maikel's bakery is that type of place. When you find a place like this a bakery shop with amazing cakes, fantastic cookies, homestyle favorites and awesome food as well you know you've come across a real gem. Maikel's bakery is a true gem of Tampa, one of the best kept secrets in the city! How have I lived here for three years and not have heard about this!?! read more

Ayer día de acción de gracias decidí comprar la comida cocinada de este lugar que ya conozco. Compre un pavo, arroz con gris, tamales y una selección de dulces. Cuando fui a servir la mesa con todos mis invitados el congris estaba hecha do a perder. Un olor súper fuerte. Tuve que botar la bandeja y no pudimos comer arroz un día tan señalado. Ya mi había pasado en este mismo lugar una vez fuimos y pedimos comida. Mi esposo pidió arroz con frijoles colorados. Y esa vez los frijoles estaban podridos. Tuvimos que entrar y decirle. Esta vez no pude regresar ni me interesa volver hacerlo. No es por el dinero gastado si no por el mal rato que me hizo pasar al arruinar mi comida con familiares o si alguien se lo hubiera comido si hubiera enfermado del estómago. Es una falta de respeto este lugar. Se que no es a mi la única que le ha pasado en este lugar. Verifiquen la comida antes de irse. Yesterday thanksgiving I decided to buy cooked food from this place that I already knew. I bought a turkey, rice with black beans, tamales, and a selection of sweets. When I went to serve the table with all my guests, the rice was very bad. A super strong smell. I had to throw away the tray and we couldn't eat rice on such an important day. I had already been in this same place once, we went and ordered food. My husband ordered rice with red beans. And this time the beans were rotten. We had to go in and tell the employees. This time I couldn't return nor am I interested in going here again. It's not because of the money spent but because of the hard time it gave me by ruining my meal with relatives or if someone would have eaten it and gotten sick. This place is disrespectful. I know that I am not the only one that this has happened to in this place. Check the food before you go. read more

Spent $11.99 on some rice, chicken with side of sweet plantains and it was disgusting, I couldn't even finish it. No seasoning, no flavor and it tasted like it was in the refrigerator and then reheated. I had to throw it out and then buy a sandwich at my offices cafe. Never again, just go to Taco Bell next door. read more

The flat bread Cuban sandwiches here are sublime. 10/10. I'm in the process of exploring their entire menu I will update once I am done but for now this review is only for the sandwiches and the amazing lemonade. read more

We like to get our colada and pastries here. The drive through is great and always quick.

Horrible service and horrible food Sat at the sign for 15 min after no one came on the intercom I pull forward and of course they come on for the people behind me. I then try to give my order at the window the lady asked me to pull forward and wait after everyone else's order. I say ok and then she goes "you know what?! You just stay there" I say ok and wait they hand me coffee and just regular toast then the lady goes I gave you everything I still needed my bacon egg and cheese toast she tries to argue with me that she gave it to me, I open my regular butter toast and show her there's no bacon egg or cheese on it they then hand me a bag and I take it. I live two min from here so I get home and realize my Cuban toast doesn't even have butter and my bacon egg and cheese sandwich is slopped together not toasted and the cheese is not melted at all. It was disgusting and I just fed it to my dog. I will not be back it's so hard to find good Cuban food anymore and this place definitely is not on the list of good Cuban food. Don't recommend they should have put something else here instead. Or bring back the Burger King! read more

Este es el lugar mas malo que ahi.. y el mismo dueño es un grocero y no sabe trabajar con el publico... aparte mi esposo y yo tenemos tremendo catarro y el señor le metio el dedo y comio del mismo dulce q regrese.. read more

They gave me raw chicken. It was pink inside. When I went to tell them in fb, the person said sorry and blocked me. Very unprofessional. read more

I mostly come here for the cuban special sandwich. For the price and size of the sandwich it's the best deal in my area. Their cafe con leche is so good too. That being said when i asked my gf what she wanted to eat after i got off work (11:30pm, they are open 24hrs) i got her the baked chicken with rice and plantains, and a few donuts and guava pastries. She said the chicken tasted good, but was very dry. I assume because it was so late. Also the donuts were dry, but larger than a donut you get from DD. Thankfully we had milk to wash them down. The rice and plantains were just fine as well as the pastries. I assume the dryness was a fluke. The amount of food for the price (9.99)was way more than she could eat in one sitting which is a great bang for your buck place to eat late at night. Or like my friend said "if you need a birthday cake at 2am. This is the place!"Lol. The cake was good btw. Her friends liked it. She said it was on par with Publix. So that is saying something. I should note that they mostly speak spanish here. So there could be a language barrier if you do not speak spanish. read more

They got rid of a Burger King for garbage. There are bakeries around here already and they are much better.

My husband was in the mood for a Cuban sandwich. This was our first time here and we will definitely be back. The parking lot was busy, there were customers sitting at all of the outdoor tables and lots of people inside - always a good sign when checking out a new place. We utilized the drive through. My husband loved his sandwich and his cortadito coffee. I had a cheese pastry and it was absolutely delicious. We can't wait to go back and try more things! read more

Poor customers services, I went three times this week, I don't like it, pastries are really good. But customer services 0

Absolutely horrible customer service. I made an online order a day in advance and apparently there was a price discrepancy online so they didnt fill over half of my order. They also did not call me or even tell the employee that picked it up that they were not honoring the order. The worst part is I would have paid the price difference. When I called they basically told me oh well...not what you expect. Will not be ordering from there ever again. read more

It was very busy which is a good sign. I only went for a few croquetas and pastelitos which were very good. The other pastries looked good as well. I did it observe a rude staff as others have posted. I'll give another try and test out the hot food for lunch or dinner. read more

We ordered a strawberry cheesecake for my Mother in-laws birthday. It was very good. They make food there too. It looked and smelled delicious! read more

First time there there prices are ridiculously high ordered a frita it's like a cuban burger famous in Miami, this was nothing like the Miami one and they put potato sticks in it not work even half of what they charge for it. All their pastries are half the size of mi Patria bakery and more expensive and their cakes are thirty and up. Won't return. read more

Maikel Bakery - This is supposed to be a cuban frita what a joke, almost six dollars for this. - Desserts Near Me - Tampa, Florida

decepcionada por segunda ocacion , realizó una orden de un cacke capuchino y fue total decepción horrible el sabor la masa vieja y 3 pulgadas de merengue ! Jamás de lo jamás read more

I honestly tried to give this place at least three tries before leaving a review. The first time I went through the drive-through was probably the best experience, all I ever order is a Cuban cheese toast with Café con Leche. the second time when I got home I realized that they gave me just plain Cuban toast that wasn't even good bread. I was annoyed to say the least. I tried to give it another shot today. Honestly if you don't speak Spanish, they really do treat you like crap. I am Latina however my Spanish is not so great, does that mean I don't get to enjoy good Latin food or service? I placed my order in English and she repeated it back to me. however when I got to the window somehow or another two waters were added into my order that I never asked for and they kept pressing me that I had said I wanted to waters and they had repeated it back to me in Spanish at the window. Two women caught an attitude with me m, the first one named Yaima. She literally rolled her eyes and slammed the window in my face which was why my attitude was not so great when they came back with The second woman who I did not catch her name but she caught just as much of an attitude with me that I felt myself yelling at her that I never ordered two waters! to simply refund it back it wasn't that difficult. its $2. Needless to say I will never be back here and I doubt this type of establishment will stay open much longer with the ratings that it's getting. Too bad too because that first Cuban cheese toast that I got from them was honestly the best. read more

Went yesterday and the bakery items looked wonderful Except descriptions was written in Spanish or nothing. It was very difficult to get anyone to speak English to tell me about the goodies. I would suggest writing item description in English also if no one can understand your questions We would have love to buy several pastries bread or a cake but I didn't know what was inside of them so I left with one cookie Might expand your business if at least one salesperson was fluent in english read more

If you don't speak Spanish don't bother going in. I stood at the counter waiting for help for 20 minutes. With everyone saying one minute. (In Spanish, but at least that I could understand. ) I waited and waited 7 people working there walking around, and the one person who says she can help me because she speaks English is with a Spanish speaking customer. So I asked if they could assist that customer so that I may be assisted since I've been waiting there. They said one minute for the hundredth time, so I walked out. Terrible customer service. Im not mad that they spoke Spanish or even that only one worker spoke English, it's that I was ignored before they even knew I only spoke English, and then when they could clearly just arrange things to make it so that I could be helped, they didn't care. Don't waste your time. read more
