We were greeted with a smile! We ordered a cortadito and black coffee. This was some of the best coffee we've ever had. Fantastic!!

If you're looking for authentic Cuban food in Gainesville, this place is a hidden gem. The atmosphere is clean, and full of charm. The coffee is exactly what you'd expect from a true Cuban café. The pastries are absolutely delicious. What really sets this place apart is the owner. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely cares about every customer who walks through the door. You can tell there is a lot of pride and passion behind everything they serve. Whether you're stopping in for a cafecito, a pastry, or a full meal, this is a place that delivers authentic Cuban flavors and exceptional hospitality. Highly recommend! read more

Respectable Cubano sandwich and delicious bakery items served up by very sweet Cuban grandmothers. Fair pricing.

Cuban sandwiches the traditional way. They could use a bit more pickles and cheese. The bread is absolutely perfect. Try the guava dessert out of the many sweet choices. read more

Heard about this place from wife's hairdresser. Walking in , one would think Cuban bakery, till you start looking at the artwork on the walls. Not sure if they play music during busier times but I did mention it to the lady. maybe playing some Cuban music in their. Bakery will give it more of that cuban feel. Wife love her food stating it was just like her mom's. Desserts were ok. New business in the area they had some really good tamales (cuban). It's always great to support local small businesses. read more

Great Cuban sandwich and Cuban pastries. Fast and friendly service. Cute and clean restaurant

This place was a pleasant surprise! Firstly, the sandwich my friend got was sooo good! The price of the sandwich was $12 and truly was worth it. Dolores took and prepared our orders, and she was so nice. Made fresh with a good price? The value is great. I always love a little cortadito to try pick me up. The flavor was sublime. The star of the show for me was the tres leches! Cake was moist and the cream was a perfect sweetness. It's such a quaint spot, and it's a chill place to grab a quick bite. I would like to come back with my friends, and I have high hopes for this place. read more

I hate making negative reviews on here, but the other reviews were so misleading. I ordered from DoorDash. My traditional Cuban sandwich came to me with barely any meat, pickles, or mustard. I was really disappointed at the quality, and looking forward to an authentic Cuban sandwich. The Picadillo was very disappointing as well. It lacked flavor, and it came with salad on top of it? It was essentially comparable to taco meat with salad on a bed of rice. It is very gross. I was raised in Tampa, and my grandfather is Cuban, maybe because I've had authentic Cuban food I had high expectations, but either way it fell very very short. I'm adding a picture of what the other half of the sandwich looked like when I put the meat from both sides together. I'm also adding a photo of the picadillo and salad. You can see from the rice that there wasn't any picadillo sauce because it is almost still white underneath. read more

The most delicious sandwiches! Perfect ratio of everything! I got the house sandwich and the Cuban. Sooooo delicious! It's a must try! Would add photos, but the sandwiches were so good, they disappeared. read more

Ran in to grab a quick breakfast bite. Ordered a ham and cheese puff pastry. I am not sure how this is accomplished, but the inside seemed burnt. Cheese was not present and it seemed like someone had stuffed Filo dough with jerky that dried out even more in the oven. Worst pastry I've ever had. Cute spot, great location. I hope other things on the menu are better, but I'm not going to take the time to find out. read more

I only have this 1 star because 0 wasn't an option! We, unfortunately, purchased 2 Be Our Guest Gift Certificates for future use at Pampy's as we love to discover and support small local businesses. Last week my husband stopped by after work to grab dinner for us and was told that they won't accept it and that it was "too slow". Sadly, my husband was planning on purchasing well more than the amount of the certificate which would have been cash plus tip for them. The certificate clearly states "represents a legal obligation solely of the merchants stated on the certificate." They have lost our business and that of friends that have learned of this. Poor and unethical customer service. read more

The place looked nice, clean, quiet. Ordered the pork le con sandwich which was pork, onion on Cuban bread. The pork sandwich was heated in microwave then placed into press. It wasn't horrible however, I've never seen it cooked that way. As my husband said it filled the hole in stomach. You got nothing else for 9.99. No chips, fries etc. Flan was good. I won't be returning. Sorry read more

Excellent authentic Cuban bakery and deli. Being from S.Fla we know good Cuban sandwiches and Pastries and this place fits the bill. The cafe con leche is also awesome. The place is new and clean also so skip the Mia Apa and come here! read more

Please give Pampy's a try. I don't know if I would have if I wasn't waiting for my car to be ready, and I would have missed out on a hidden gem. I do not speak Spanish but the workers were very gracious and patient. The sandwich and drinks were great (the coffee especially). The only thing of note is my tres leches' cherry had a pit in it, but even that put me in a good mood (nostalgically remembering when watermelon had seeds in it and you had to eat dates tentatively even if they were from the store). Give Pampy's a try--you will be glad you did. read more

Food was okay, nothing outstanding, and service was mediocre. I really did not like the atmosphere, chaotic, just a little unsettling with patrons and servers using the same small aisles for ingress and egress. read more

Order a sandwich and guava pastry and paid a hefty price with tip via door dash My order was wrong and had missing items. How hard is it to check the order before it's sent out. The Cuban was decent. Couldn't tell you about the pastry since it was missing. Not sure I would recommend. Nothing impressed me. read more

My husband says this is the best Cuban sandwich he has had in Gainesville so far, and I agree (I think better than Mi Apa). The pork is so tasty! We can only vouch for their sandwiches, though I wouldn't go for the medianoche when compared to their normal Cuban (was told the bread the sweeter, but preferred the regular bread for the price). read more

After eating at the Mexican restaurant next door, I decided to see what Pampy's had for dessert Cheese cake is my favorite. I tried hers. It was great, obviously homemade, no fillers, a very rich slice ideal for two people. We enjoyed it. It's on the way to downtown on the right just before the Westgate Publix. read more

Quality cuban pastries. Reminds me of a bakery in Miami. Lovely vibe in there with sometimes music playing at a good level.

This place is great! Picked up desserts today, including the flan and coconut pudin. The food is great and the service was amazing. All the meats are cooked fresh in house. Definitely recommend and will be coming back regularly! read more

Carefully made Cuban sandwiches and baked goods, a very familiar owner who's as timid as she is sweet, reminding me of my own grand aunts in Miami. That cortadito got me through the day. I plan on being a regular at this place when I move here. read more

The staff were friendly and honest. Prices were good and the food was delicious. Will definitely return for the coffee and pastries!

One of the best sandwiches I've had in my life. The meat was perfectly seasoned and melts in your mouth. Quite spacious for the location. Very cheap for the amount of food you get. The baked goods are delicious. The workers there were very sweet and affable. Could not recommend more read more
