I once ordered a sandwich here, opened it, and realized they gave me the wrong item. I showed the female owner and asked to get what I ordered. She took the incorrect sandwich, threw it in the garbage, then replaced it with the right sandwich. I always thought it was such a waste and a spiteful move. Why not just be gracious, let me have the wrong item, then fulfill the order correctly? I still go here because they do have a lot of good food and bakery items, but I'll never forget that decision by the owner and the look on her face when she threw that food away, as if she was going to show me, when it was their mistake. read more

Great selection of hot foods, sandwiches, and of course bakery items! Their cakes are truly fantastic and they will work with you to ensure it is just how you want it for your special occasion. We love stopping in to grab a meal. Their platter prices are really great and they give you plenty of food for 2 meals! After picking up your meal it's always fun to peruse the bakery items for something new to try. Their eclairs, cannolis, and cupcakes are always a go to favorite. read more

Moreno Bakery - Oxtails, Gouda Mac and cheese, and creamed spinach! Huge platter and great prices! Yum! - Bakeries Near Me - Brandon, Florida

I like this bakery and they do offer a lot of wonderful items. They actually make one of my very favorite cookies, along with a yummy gooey cake. I gave a 3 star, but I really hate to say negative comments about a place, especially since it's all a matter of taste. For me, I prefer a more authentic Ybor/Tampa Cuban Sandwich and I'd also like to find a local bakery with really great tasting cakes. So many bakeries seem to just load a cake up with so much of the icing, it over powers the cake. read more

Love this place. Ordered a custom birthday cake for my fiancé, and it was beautiful and delicious. Their Cuban bread is the best I've had, baked fresh constantly. Great little spot. Good menu read more

Fantastic place for AMAZING pastries. I honestly cannot just pick one. How about the pre-made food??? This is the place in town that would make you look like a chef at home when you serve their food for dinner or lunch. Did I mention the selection of Cuban food? Ño!!! read more

I'm going to start saying that this is a split review I do not like the cakes, I realize thst almost everyone else really likes them.., Not sure if I'm ordering the wrong thing or not... The food however is really great, I enjoy the meat pies and most of the hot foods That are pre-prepared. Great to grab and go read more

Awesome latin food and pastries choices. Great service. Every time I am in town I make sure I make time to stop by and get my sweets and empanadas. The chicken empanada is out of this world! read more

Been coming here for years, ordered the oxtail meal, the man in front of me in line was given more than double I received and I questioned it and was told no it's the same, that is not true, I have been buying this same meal many times and never had this happen. I asked for the manager and she said I was wrong . $15.00 for some rice and two small pieces of oxtail and no bread . I said I won't be back and was told ok. read more

OK, so I'm being perfectly honest here, the food is good, the baked goods are good, the Cuban bread it is excellent. But my gosh they have to figure out how to get people's orders in an orderly fashion it's an absolute mess. read more

My daughter & I love Moreno Bakery!!!! Their cafe con leche is perfecta! They just have really good quality coffee in general. They also make delicious breakfast sandwiches & don't even get me started on their pastries. Good quality, wide assortment, decent prices & delicious pastries!!!! Plus everyone who works here is friendly!!! I love this place!!!! read more

Love Moreno's Bakery! Good food and baked goods every time I go. I usually order the oxtails and they are tender, flavorful and plenty. Today I tried a Cuban Sandwich and was pleasantly surprised by the fresh bread and the flavor of the meat. I also got a cheese stuffed Guava bread, which was delicious. And every time I buy it, I can't believe how cheap it is! Did I already mention that I love this place? Lol read more

Best pastries and beautiful cakes! Reasonably priced. Staff is very attentive and helpful when picking out items.

The Cuban is delicious, the quesitos are amazing, pan de bono, and mostly anything you want from the bakery is delish!!

This was one of my first places to try in FL and was no surprised! We have been back several times and very disappointed. Every sandwich, empanada, and baked good has been to die for!! read more

there cake is so good it's one of the best i have ever had def would get the cake but it is a little pricy

I went in the afternoon and the baked goods that I bought tasted stale and it was hard to cut into. I liked my baked goods fresh. I also ordered some of the hot deli foods and it tasted like regular cafeteria food. I was very disappointed. I wanted some legit Mexican food. I give it two stars because the prices aren't bad. read more

Best place to order party food (the mac-n-cheese is phenomenal!) the cakes and cupcakes are delicious ! Thank you Moreno Bakery for helping me out with all 3 kids birthday needs. Very happy with this chocolate cake so good! read more

Moreno Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Brandon, Florida

The crabs are ok. Seems frozen. But the other dishes are great, the shrimp and stew are great. The ready made salads are nice. The Cubans are best. The cafe con leche is yum! Of course their bakery is the best ever!!!!! Everything you ever wanted!!!!!!! The company is the best!!! Very popular place. The sitting area is not warm and friendly. Needs work. Too industrial!!! I'd fix with booths. Uncomfortable. read more

This bakery is really good. Love the Cuban pastries and food. I moved to Riverview a couple months back and I was looking for a good bakery. Glad I found this one. I recommend it. read more

I absolutely love this place! The staff is always welcoming and friendly. I ordered cookies from here for a bridal shower and they turned out amazing! Moreno makes beautiful AND excellent tasting food! read more

We visit often and I especially enjoy the fried shrimp and they do a good job on their Cuban sandwiches. I get their chocolate rugelach almost every visit. My wife likes the cafe con leche and if we're not getting our cakes at Publix, we order them here. The most frustrating thing is the check out process. There is no real guidance in forming a queue. I really don't like the cashiers announcing "I can help the next customer here", especially at busy times. It's a simple fix to get the posts that have the straps that are used to designate where the line should form. read more

Great cakes and pastries, this is a most try while in Brandon. Bakery is clean and staff is very helpful!!!

Let's start with the big one: this is a bakery. It's not a restaurant. Really. Disregard the seating. It's a bakery that realizes you might want to eat your order right there. So when you hear all these other people complaining about the twenty-minute waits and the frantic and occasionally hit-or-miss counter service, remember that you are, in fact, visiting a bakery. You want great table service, try Bern's, or heck, try any actual restaurant. You want it fast? Go to McDonald's. Are you with me? This is a bakery. You're gonna stand in line, you're gonna make everyone else in line groan as you change your mind at the last minute, and yeah, you might need to dial back your expectations from those poor inundated cashiers to "bakery counter" levels of service. Check your order, keep your receipt, and plan to wait a while if what you're ordering isn't premade and ready. Yeah, sure, I'd love food like this in a restaurant setting, but this isn't one. It's a bakery with seating, and that's fine. If you're really in a hurry, call your order in ahead of time, have it waiting for you when you get there. They're great about that. But again, don't go there expecting tableside service, or even a particularly smooth queueing system. This is a bakery, and it's a busy one. Expect it to feel like a bakery. People will mill around oohing and ahhing at the treats. Lines double suddenly and get messy. This is just how it goes, chief. Now, you want a killer array of sweets and breads, plus some really great sandwiches? Good, you're in the right place. Butcher-paper-wrapped, sealed with masking tape, those sandwiches are the real deal, and the nine-inch "small" will fill up most sane people. Those double-meat twelve-inch versions for three bucks more? Heh. Listen, I'm the size of a halfway-decent starter home, and my last bites of the twelve-inch are the slow, determined, plodding steps of a prizefighter stumbling away from a most Pyrrhic victory. If you've had the misfortune to dine on what the national chains call a "sub," you're probably expecting something much more manageable and less filling. This is a hungry person's sandwich. Don't worry, you can take half back home with you. Most do. That Cuban's a sight. Thing of beauty, let me tell you. I have to wonder if the folks who complain about the meat quality got theirs pressed, and if they let it sit a while after pressing, or if they tore right in. Heat and pressing release the juices and wake up the flavor, and letting it sit a bit lets all those flavors mingle. When I bit into my last one, the salami had a nice sharp edge, the ham was smooth and warm behind it, and that classic Cuban pork was right there under it with a faint clove-and-pepper note. They survive rides home beautifully, and if you call and have 'em made it advance, they'll be sitting there, mingling ahead of time...and you'll dodge all that prep wait. Just a suggestion. Of course, if you just show up and you're looking for something to tide you over while they prep your sandwich, let me heartily recommend the quesito, or the guava pastry. Yeah, their cupcakes are great, their brownies divine, but come on, you're going Cuban here, right? You want a nice strong cafe con leche and a quesito or a guava pastry...or both in one. The guava cheese pastry is delightful stuff. They'll put lettuce and tomatoes on your Cuban if you ask for 'em, but come on, show a little respect for that sandwich. It doesn't need watery produce. You can ride with tradition and ask for mustard-no-mayo, but the stock configuration, with a nice, clean house mayo, works really nicely, and lets the meat speak for itself. Your call; white or yellow paint on that Cuban, it's still a winner. You might want to try the medianoche, too -- their Cuban's goods reframed upon soft, chewy sweet egg bread. Nice change from the crackly-pressed Cuban bread. The steak sandwich is another real winner. Simple, clean and classic, this is chopped steak tenderized in a rich garlic and sour orange mojo with Swiss cheese on Cuban bread. Press it, let the heat wake it up, and let it sit a few, then dig in. If you like scachatta -- bakery sheet pizza -- they make a nice one, too. If you want table service and a less-than-harried queue, look elsewhere. You want carb heaven plus killer sandwiches, though, just put on your best patient smile, brace for the bakery counter experience, and enjoy the heck out of your goodies, whether there or back home. This is one heck of a bakery. read more

They did our wedding cake for us. Beautifully made, delivered perfectly and super delicious! Their Cubans are the best in town! Loved working with Susan Moreno read more

My hometown heroes! Love this place forever and always! Stopped in for a cafe con leche and a pastelito during the holidays for the first time in forever and it was wonderful as always! Give these employees a raise please! read more

Huge selection of pastries you can't find at a regular bakery. The Guava Turnover is my absolute favorite. Definitely recommend stopping in!

Obsessed with Moreno's! The staff could be a little more friendly but they're probably just tired from how much business the place gets. Honestly everything from this place is incredible and it's always hard to choose! This place is a gem. read more

Stopped in to grab a breakfast sandwich and coffee. The front counter staff when checking out and picking up food not particularity nice kind of rude if you ask me. The food wasn't bad, I would give them 4stars if it wasn't for the counter staff. Owner needs to do something. read more

POOR Customer Service! Bakery Items are DELICIOUS, but what good is it if they don't know how to prepare what you ask for, then insult YOU (the customer) for it when they can't get it right?....... I ordered several baked goods, then asked for an Espresso Coffee (Cafecito). I asked for sugar...... the young woman handed me a cup of expresso, flat, without the crest of foam on the top. I returned it asking for her to run the steamer into it to create the "espumita" (Foam). She tried her best, and apparently called another employee to help her. When she told the other lady that I wanted "espuma", the lady grabbed a gallon of milk, saying she had to add milk. I spoke up saying,"no, I don't want Milk, just the "espuma". She "snapped" at me saying "HERE, when you say Espuma, it means MILK". She said that they can't make the Espuma without milk. I responded saying that they could make the espuma by adding sugar and running the steamer through it. She interrupted me as I was finishing the sentence and snapped at the original employee waiting on me saying: "GIVE HER, HER MONEY BACK"!. I was outraged. I told her I didn't WANT my money back and I left. As I exited the bakery I pitched the pitiful coffee in the trash. I called on my drive home and explained all of this to the manager, who sounded like a 17 year old high school girl, who didn't offer much other than to say she was sorry if I had that experience. In two years of writing YELP reviews, I've never written an unkind word or negative review until a recent experience at a resort that replaced my dirty glasses and tried to pass them off as clean. This is my FIRST negative review. Sadly disappointed in Moreno bakery. You've lost a regular, formerly faithful customer over a $ 1.26 coffee. The Brandon area has SEVERAL other good Bakerys, and Several other establishments that provide Latin food and REAL Cuban coffee (Espresso) and service with a SMILE, and "NO ATTITUDE". Dr. YC Leon read more

Ultimate bakery... Moreno bakery has everything from warm Latin food, pastries, breads and a huge variety of sweets. I had them do variety cupcakes for my wedding. Super affordable and tastes better than most cakes made elsewhere. I've been coming to this bakery when they were a tiny little shop off of 60. I'm excited to see the growth and the continued quality. If ever craving something sweet, This is the place to come. There will be something for everywhere. read more

Best bakery in the entire Tampa area. It is a Must if you want REAL Philly style butter cake.

Is it a bakery or deli? We ordered the Portuguese and Pastrami sandwiches. The bread was good, that's about all I can say about that. Not enough meat on either sandwich to really make what I would consider a legitimate deli sandwich. Both sandwiches were ordered as stated on the menu. The Portuguese sandwich was fine, but Pastrami was missing the Swiss cheese. Oh by the way make sure you keep your ticket handy, when they call your name you'll need to have your ticket too. My ticket was with my wife holding down a table. The server had to go verify that I was the Mike that ordered those two sandwiches, like i was trying to get someone else's order. I guess there were a lot of Mikes ordering Portuguese and Pastrami combinations today. She should have spent more time making sure she made the sandwich correctly. read more

Food great but no type of customer services Always rude people starting from the owner she a miserable women and I can see why her employer the same. Customer service starts from the top. Will never be back. Rather go to Publix read more

We've been here multiple times. The sandwiches are good, but not great. The desserts are better, but not amazing either. The prices are pretty good. Again, not great, but not that bad. It is a bit better than average all around. I've had better cuban sandwiches in the area (try Ricopan and you'll see). We are pretty new to the Tampa area, so, we've only tried a couple of bakeries. Out of the 2 we tried, they aren't the better one though. The system for ordering and paying is a bit hectic. Everyone kind of stands around waiting to see when someone waves them over or an employee doesn't and you and someone else start walking up to see who goes. No actual line is formed. There isn't anything in place to form a line, no indication of where to stand. While they probably aren't the worst bakery, to be the worst out of 2 that we've tried when there are so many more isn't great odds. read more

The previous Yelper is completely correct. When I walked in to this place I could not believe how large it was and how mobbed it was! It must be good, I thought. It wasn't. Everything looks really good but is actually terrible. Yuck. read more

Likes: 1) Ooey gooey blueberry butter cake and the peanut butter brownies, they're delicious. Dislikes: 1) Terrible service, I don't think the girl waiting on us knew what we were saying 2) very dry roast pork and lesser quality ham on the cuban sandwich 3) they completely screwed up one of the 2 cubans we ordered 4) There was no mustard on the cubans, just tons of mayo 5) Got charged for the larger cuban even though we specifically ordered 2 regulars 6) The place was not busy, but it still took 20 minutes to make 2 sandwiches Sorry folks, I won't be going back there. read more

I really enjoy this bakery. They have a lot of options when it comes to pastries and the taste is usually top notch whenever they're not smothering them in super sweet guava paste. I had to peg them two stars for price and quantity though. They are on the pricey side with their pastries and definitely regular food. Their serving sizes are small and not worth the price they charge. I paid $13 for the tiniest bowl of fried shrimp that was not fresh and so not worth the price. There are better places near by that serve hot food. I would just stick to the pastries and avoid ordering their hot food. read more

Love this place. Best when I have my lil nieces with me...The go crazy over all the cookies and there always fresh....
