Located across the street from Hialeah High and Azalias pharmacy, the parking lot is very busy due to other stores and restaurants in the same plaza. As soon as you enter you can smell the fresh Cuban bread, pastelitos, croquetas, and other deliciousness! We had to order the ham croquetas and a cafe con leche. Vicky's has the best cafe con leche. My grandma got the Iced cafe con leche and Ive never seen her devour an iced coffee the way she did this one. She loves ice coffee and this became her favorite. The service is usually fast and the ladies behind the counter have great memory. They never write down your order and never get it wrong lol. The Ice coffee did take a little long because the first one spilled while she was making it but overall service is usually great.

I've been to a lot of different Vicky's Bakery locations over the years and have never had an…read moreissue, which is why this experience was so disappointing. This was actually my second visit to this specific location, and unfortunately, the first time wasn't much different. The restaurant was packed, yet the employees at the front counter were busy chatting with customers who had already been helped instead of assisting the long line of people waiting to order. During this visit, the exact same thing happened. When I walked in, two of the front counter employees were standing there talking with customers while the bakery was full and people were waiting to be helped. It took longer than it should have just to get someone's attention. Once I was finally helped, I asked if they had pastelitos de coco. The employee told me they would have to make them, so I politely asked how long that would take. Instead of answering or saying something like, "Let me check for you," or "Give me just a moment," she simply turned around and walked away without saying a word. I stood there waiting for about five minutes, unsure if anyone was coming back to help me. Eventually, I decided to leave. It wasn't the fact that they needed to make the pastries that bothered me--it was the complete lack of communication and customer service. I've had nothing but positive experiences at other Vicky's Bakery locations, so it's disappointing that this particular location has now given me two poor experiences in a row. I hope management addresses the customer service issues because they don't reflect the quality I've come to expect from the rest of the chain.

My café con leche, on the other hand, was way too sweet for my taste--I ended up dumping most of it. Overall, not a bad spot at all, just not somewhere I'd pick as my first choice for breakfast.

Love this place and happy they have this other location on the east side of Hialeah.

I woke up in Hialeah and counted the days remaining until we sailed for Havana. "Too many," I…read morethought, and, rolling out of bed, continued my hunt for south Florida's best Cuban pastry. After checking Yelp for "pastelito" and "most reviewed" I settled on a popular bakery, BreadMan Miami, which was conveniently, if counter-intuitively, housed in Hialeah. I called for an Uber. My driver, Julian, picked me up, and as we left my hotel, he double-checked my destination and, with solicitude in his voice, asked, "Breadman, hmm? Have you been there before?" I told him "no" and that I was trying to hit a few Cuban bakeries before leaving town, to compare their versions of pastelitos de guayaba y queso. Without criticizing my choice, Julian spoke enthusiastically about Palm Springs Bakery. It wasn't like he was selling, so much as that he seemed lost in a dream of baked delights and was anxious to share his reverie. I had no skin in the game, and before I die, I'll have plenty of chances to fulfill my mission - to sample all of the pastelitos sold in the greater Miami area - so I thought, "Sure, what the hell," and changed my destination to Palm Springs Bakery. When I walked into the shop, I knew it was my kind of place: simple and busy, smelling of yeast and sugar and Maillard reactions, its front lined with cases full of still-warm baked goods that fogged the glass protecting them. I quickly found what I'd come for, and then was tempted by things that I didn't know I wanted, until I saw them. Besides my pastelito, I chose a Venezuelan-style tequeño, which is guava paste and queso blanco wrapped in pastry dough, then fried. And because too much is never enough, I also bought a spongy yellow cone-shaped cake dipped in sugary syrup, called a "capuchino." Julian had come inside with me to pick up a snack. I asked if he knew a nearby spot where we could eat our breakfast in comfort (there being no seating at Palm Spring Bakery), and he suggested that we stop next door at La Viña de Aragon. He said knew the owners, and that they wouldn't mind if we ate there if we ordered some coffee. I agreed. The folks at Aragon were accommodating and their coffee was excellent. More about that place in different review. Palm Springs Bakery's offerings were good, but not great. My pastelito was delicious, tasting of butter and tropical fruit, but its pastry was damp and tough, likely made so by its time in the sauna. The tequeño was nicely-prepared, but it wasn't my favorite thing, as, in my opinion, guava paste didn't help the plainness of the queso blanco, as I'd hoped it might. The morning's treat was the capuchino, which looked delicate but was as dense and sweet as rum baba or your heavy-handed aunt's tres leches. As such, it made a wonderful accompaniment for Aragon's strong cortadito. I should also note that capuchinos contain no coffee. They're called capuchinos because of their resemblance to the hoods worn by Capuchin monks, and their syrup's flavored with cinnamon, lemon, orange, and anisette. You'll find them wherever Cuban pastries are sold. Palm Springs Bakery has been a neighborhood fixture for decades, and, for my money, it's just ok. I think it's one of those places that you love if you grew up loving it. As I've said, I have no skin in the Greater Miami bakery game, so my search for the perfect pastelito continues. ********** BreadMan Miami: https://www.yelp.com/biz/breadman-miami-hialeah-2 La Viña de Aragon: https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-vina-aragon-hialeah
