    So many delicious options in this little bakery. Even though it's in what looks to be a rough part of town, it feels safe and cozy inside with great service. You can get all of your Cuban treats here!

    Pastelito de Guayaba
    Austin B.

    tl;dr for delicious, authentic, and affordable pastelitos, look no further than this unpretentious Little Havana bakery Pastelitos -- flaky Cuban puff pastries traditionally filled with guava, cream cheese, or beef -- are an essential, all-day component of Miami food culture. However, quality and affordability are sorely lacking in most tourist-heavy neighborhoods. So when my family planned a self-guided food tour through Little Havana, finding a solid Cuban bakery was one of our priorities -- and a spot named Pastelmania seemed to be a safe bet for both traditional and unique pastelito varieties. Indeed, this bakery was awarded Miami's best pastelito by the Miami New Times. The small, standalone shack is about a half-mile off Calle Ocho proper. The vibrant outside walls are equipped with ruby-red awnings and painted with eye-catching wavy lines. The inside space is weakly air-conditioned and minimally decorated. The whitewashed walls have only an Argentina flag and a futbol jersey. Three dedicated bakery displays are filled with cakes, pastries, and -- of course -- pastelitos. The menu is painted onto a chalkboard behind the counter. The only sounds are clanging from the kitchen, ringing of the cash register, and ripping of bakery paper. The staff and clientele exclusively speak Spanish with thick, Cuban dialects. We ordered a Pastelito de Guayaba, a Pastelito de Espinica, a Croqueta de Queso, and a Colada. The warm, flaky, slightly chewy pastry was brushed with sugar. Both the sweet guava and the savory spinach pastelitos were excellent, and the rich, salty croqueta packed a ton of flavor. Meanwhile, the Cuban espresso was as strong as it was affordable. Service was friendly and efficient, and our entire order ran us just $5. Pastelmania was a highlight of our visit to Little Havana, and it is well worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood. If I had more time (and appetite), I would be sure to work my way through the remainder of Pastelmania's pastry lineup.

    While in Florida I had the pleasure of picking up some fantastic bites here at Pastelmania! They have a great variety of pastelillos, empanadas, croquetas, Cuban sandwiches and pastries. And amazing coffee! We ordered our Cubans with everything, not realizing that included ketchup, so that threw me off a bit but the flavor was good. The croquetas were really good but the pastelillo de carne were so freaking good! Honestly I wish I would've ordered like 10 of them! We took a box of pastries to take back to our hotel for later and my niece, daughter and sister devoured them so I can just assume the were great because nothing was left. The dine in area is not very big at all, but it's very clean. As for service, they were very patient, as we were being typical tourists, but all in all we were all very happy with our orders and service.

    Amazing neighborhood bakery tucked inside Little Havana! Quick service. Affordable prices. Hands down, their guava pastelitos and guava-and-cheese pastelitos are the BEST. They're baked to golden perfection, flaky, and generously filled! (Also tastier than Porto's!)  One bite in, the rich tropical filling oozed out. It's just heavenly. Pastelmania Bakery is one of my favorite gems in Florida. Highly recommending giving their pastries a try - You really can't go wrong with anything you pick here!

    It's a really fun bakery with a great selection of pastries both savory and sweet. I highly recommend coming here and honestly just grabbing a bunch of anything that catches your eye. Prices are great and there are a number of parking sports on the side so that was super convenient.

    Best Cuban pastries I've had in Miami! I got the carne and guava, both 10/10. Shoutout to the staff for being so helpful and I loved the vibe. I'll definitely be back and will be dining in!

    I came here like 3 times during my week long visit in Miami because it was open at 6am. Why eat McDonalds when you have fresh pastries and yummy options. This was my first pan con bistec and it hit the spot.

    Cafe con leave, pastellitos, croquetas, tostada cubana EVERYTHING was amazing!! Service was nice, the ladies were kind. The ambiance:: it's a small place but we got there early enough that there was seating but most seating is for a party or 2 only.

    For those that are not from Miami.... This place is better than Porto's! For those of you who know what Porto's is, then there you have it. A bit off the beaten path (if you came off a cruise ship like me), but well worth it. Potato Ball with beef, ham and cheese empanada (reminded me of a Brazilian Pastel), and some guava and guava and cheese pasteles.

    I decided to visit this little bakery today located in Little Havana, based on a friend's recommendation and to be quite honest, I was very impressed! The service was quick and the ladies who attended me were super patient and friendly despite my large order. I ordered: 1 pan cubano 7 croquetas de jamón 1 colada 1 cafe con leche 1 batido de mango 2 pastelitos de guava 2 empanadas de carne 1 pastelito de queso 1 media noche 1 pan con bistec and spent a total of $56. Everything was delicious, except the mango smoothie, which was not bad, but didn't necessarily meet my expectations. I will definitely be returning!

    I went around 8am on a Sunday, and it wasn't too busy. They also spoke a little English which was helpful. I went to El brazo Fuerte yesterday, so comparing some of the food to each other: Guavaba queso: the filling was very similar to the other, but Brazos pastry was more croissant-like which I appreciated. Queso: this was just cream cheese and lacking compared to the other pastries. I wouldn't get this again. Senorita: the layers were so much flakier, so not sure if Brazo's was just older. Girlfriend liked the custard at Brazo's more though. Quatro leches: I like the dulce de Leche at Brazo's way more, but this was still good. Ham and Spinach croquettes: the ham was so good, it was minced within the cheese like filling, and not overly salty. I'd get this again. The Spinach was tasty too but a bit too dense. The outside was not as crispy as Brazo's.

    Ham croquettes, guava and cheese pasteles, meat pies, and cheese pasteles.

I ordered the Truffle Bun with Avocado, and I have to say, it was really good. The Flat White was also good. My friends had the Guava & Cheese Danish and the Salmon Eggs Benedict, and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I would give 3 stars for the food and the nice outdoor seating. It had just rained, so sitting outside was actually really pleasant--not too hot or humid. The other 2 stars I'm taking off are for the service. The servers never really smiled and seemed like they didn't want to be there. We honestly felt like we were bothering them whenever we asked for something. Maybe they were just having an off day, but a little friendliness would have made a big difference. The food was good and the place itself was nice. I just wish the servers were a little more welcoming and pleasant.

When we walked into the restaurant, I immediately recognized how cute everything was. There's a lot of pink and girly colors. I wanted one of everything on the menu but instead settled for oreo pancakes, breakfast tacos, and La Gringa burger. There was not one item that disappointed me even a little bit. My first bite was of the Oreo pancakes and Oh.My.Gosh. I couldn't even believe that was happening that I was eating the most amazing pancake in the world. The pancakes were super fluffy and somehow tasted like there was butter throughout the cake itself. It did not need any syrup. The Oreo flavor was bursting throughout the pancake. The whipped cream was homemade. To die for. Then there were the breakfast tacos which were delicious having eggs and chorizo out of a pancake, are you kidding me? The chipotle sauce was awesome. Unfortunately, I could not get to the fries but the burger was amazing too. The bacon was super crispy and the meat was tender and the bun was soft but a little crispy around the edges. I would drive from Naples just to have breakfast here. Paulina was our waitress and she was so nice and attentive. I really enjoyed chatting with her.

Yes I know bacon is supposed to be fatty, but this was another level. Again, the service was great, however food was subpar.
