Amazing "pan con bistek" and "media noche". I love it. Excellent customer service. I also have tried their "croquetas" and "papa rellena". Very fresh and tasty. I fully recommend it. read more

I have been coming here for around 18 years already since I moved to the area. This is hands down the most UNDERRATED bakery in south Florida. There isn't a day that the staff isn't smiles and ready to help. The food is phenomenal, not just the bakery goods... they have amazing breakfast and plates to try. Ever since they expanded it to have more seating and stuff it has been much more welcoming and honestly my go to spot if I want a quick and easy breakfast. Love you guys! read more

Great pastry's and empanadas. They open early for a quick snack or breakfast. They have custom cakes and a catering menu. Their OJ is fresh squeezed and delicious. read more

I love this place!. I'm usually good for a few Cuban Sandwiches a week and a few pork shoulders during the holidays. They have a Cuban sandwich second to none. What makes this place extra special? Many Cuban cafes want even make an effort to help because I don't speak Spanish. Like they don't care about my business. However, my young ladies behind the counter here get it done. The customer service is amazing and the food speaks for itself. read more

Excelente servicio , exquisitas las señoritas y muy satisfecha con el cake realizado el día 9 de agosto para un gender reveal , altamente recomendado. read more

Cute little bakery that offers pastries, milkshakes, coffees and light bites. There is also a section for wine. You can also pre-order off of their catering menu for upcoming parties or events, from small pastries like pastelitos and empanadas to lechón and trays of rice, salads, and sides...etc. Everything looked very good and the items I tried were very good, service was good as well. I can't wait to go back to try some sweets on my next trip. P.S. A lot of people ordered their croquetas when I was there, so I would assume those are good to try there. read more

I was there with my friend a few weeks ago after we got our vaccine near this bakery. We weren't familiar with the area, so we asked people working at the vaccine site to see if they know any good local bakery. One of the guys suggested this place. We got some croquetas and Cuban bread with a cup of cafe con leche. They were so tasty! The place was clean, and the staff there were friendly. If I am in the area, I would stop by again! read more

Excelente servicio , la comida riquísima , los dulces deliciosos tienen que probarlos , los encontré por los pichyboys y de verdad ahora toda la comida q compré para las fiestas y eventos en mi casa serán de Bakery 186 , a mis invitados les encantó su comida . read more

Great pastelitos and service. A must if you're in the area. Prices are low and the quality of food is high.

I absolutely love the Pan con Bistec from this Bakery. Been enjoying this delicious gem for over 10 years. Whether you dine in or order take out I never leave dissatisfied. One more thing to mention the guava pastry are a must! read more

Bakery 186 - a sub sandwich and french fries - Bakeries Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

This was simply unacceptable. I ordered this breakfast sandwich thinking it would come as any other Cuban breakfast sandwich; toasted, buttery, and with the little papita sticks. To my surprise it was nothing I'd hoped for because it's a CUBAN BAKERY; they could do no wrong! Boy was I mistaken... instead I got this SAD sandwich that was falling apart with little to no effort and a few more seconds and they would've burnt the eggs. I also got a ham croqueta which was horrific; the fakest most processed croqueta I've ever seen. Quite disappointed. read more

Immediate thoughts: they could've thought of a more unique name for this bakery. Like come on, El Bakery at 186? Step up your name game! I've been to this bakery quite a few times, it's a solid bakery to say the least. Their croquetas, i feel, are some of the best in the area, easily beating out Vicky Bakery's. The food is also cheap. I went for breakfast and for $4 I had scrambled eggs with cheese, ham and onions, that also includes a tostada. The tostadas are okay, I prefer them to be en la plancha. Their pastelitos are also delicious, especially their cheese pastelitos. I never tried their desserts, but by their appearance they're nothing special, and look overly sweetened just like every other Cuban pastry, which is why I've refrained from trying them. Overall, it's a good bakery, could be better. But for the price, it's just right! read more

Our family have been costumers for over 10 years. We love their steaks sandwiches, but this is the second time that we buy them and they are just not the same. Their steaks use to be well seasoned full of flavor. The sandwiches we bought were tasteless, the meat was dry and tasted as if it had been refrigerated for days. The meat looked dry and hard as a sole.They either changed who cooks and prepares the food or they are just not making the effort to give customers what they pay for. read more

Bakery 186 - Steak sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

This is my local bakery. I have been coming here for years. For the past year I have been completely and patiently waiting for their counter service to improve, sadly after many many chances to turn things around today yet again I am disappointed. Today was another of many times that I sat at the counter waiting to be greater, smiled at, acknowledged without the need of feeling guilty as if I am bothering staff. The lack of service or hospitality is so blatant that if you sit here long enough you start to see other patrons looking around and at each other in shock of how management and or owners allow this to go on. The food is great here but service is a key integral element in order to for any business to thrive. I hope they soon notice their lack of enthusiasm is driving people away. I will keep giving them second and third chances until I find another bakery to replace them. I'm the mean time here's to 20 minute wait for a "en que le podemos ayudar" stone faced translation "what can I help you with" 20 minutes too late. read more

We catered our Cuban pork, friend plantains, black beans and white rice for our cuban thanksgiving (few days early for family in town). The pork was delicious!! It was juicy and filled with flavor. The beans were also very tasty. Of all the places we have purchased Cuban food from, this is definitely my favorite and would recommend for others to try. read more

Everything here is phenomenal. They always make my breakfast just like I like it. Cuban style. It usually consists of a cafe con leche, eggs with ham and cheese and a tostada on the side. All bakery items are a great choice too. I've noticed they do food catering and completas (food service to go) which looks good. And a HUGE wine selection towards the back. read more

I have catered from here on multiple occasions, before being known as El Bakery at 186 it was known as Ariana's Bakery. This is a cute little spot that serves amazing Cuban food as well as deserts!!! I would recommended this place to everyone I know!!!! The staff is all very nice to all the customers and are very attentive. I enjoy coming here and having a nice meal with my family! read more

Bakery 186 - This is the menu - Bakeries Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

I have been a customer for many years. At times there can be a long wait but it's definitely worth it. Great food at a great price....We get the CANTINA weekly. Many options to choose from daily and cantina menu changes weekly. They have the best croquetas in Miami...( Ham, Chicken,Cheese, and Bacalo). You also can't go wrong with their breakfast, sandwiches, coffee, pastelitos, or other pastry options. The fact that I now live in Pembroke Pines and I still come here speaks to how good this place is. read more

I been coming here sonce i was a little kid, the name has changed several times but the food and service have always been excellent. I love their steak sandwiches. Guave ans chesse pastelitos are the best. Expect a long line on Saturday and Sunday mornings but it is worth it read more

Highly recommend this bakery if you like traditional Cuban cakes. They're traditional Cuban cake with natilla is amazing and their cappuccino cake is to die for. Every time I buy one and share with friends they get hooked on them too. The customer service extended by the owner and his workers is exceptional, something you don't see with most businesses anymore. Their pastelitos, Cuban bread and other pastries just as good! read more

Very helpful staff at this extensive Cuban cafe/bakery that has great hours of operation. Even at 5am they were jamming out, being the only place nearby with customers (10+). When you walk in they have plenty of bakery items on display. Anywhere from desserts to breakfast items and lunch snacks. They have fresh brewed colada and a nice menu with breakfast and lunch for extremely affordable prices. (Pastaletos are 95¢ and 1/2 colada (estimated 3 oz) was 75¢. It's almost like inflation never hit! They have breakfast combos available for $3.25. Really can't wait to try some breakfast next time. With a very slight language barrier, the staff was super helpful. read more

Their customer service is beyond great. The pastries shakes sandwiches and their cakes taste delicious and are always fresh.

My review is solely based off of their AMAZING croquetas and cafecito! This gem has hands down the best croquetas around. At $0.75 a pop i could munch on these all day long. The bakery also has a variety a cuban pasteries i cannot wait to come back and try. There is lots of counter space to dine in. It is all in all a great spot for a snack. read more

They helped me cater my Dads 80th birthday party and also made the cake special order and it came out absolutely beautiful! Not just beautiful but also delicious! The food we ordered was the Arroz Imperial and that was also a huge hit. All my guests loved the flavor. I can't say enough to thank the owner and his team for making my party a huge success. read more

So good! They're always busy but somehow manage to get you in and out quickly. Croquetas are made fresh and their cuban style breakfast is delicious. Reminds me of abuelas breakfast every time. Grab a spot at the counter and dine in our call ahead for pick up read more

The food was good; however, there's a woman by the name of Megan who is very nasty.. needs to learn how to treat customers. Thank God she's only there on the weekends. When I go to the bakery from Monday-Friday early morning, the service is excellent and the new manager, she is blonde ... she is great.. she needs to be recognized. read more

Great local bakery! One of my favorite croquetas out there! Ever since I tried it, I've been going almost every other Saturday! Definitely must try! read more

Just ordered a Arroz Imperial with Maduros and assorted pastries and Cuban sandwiches everything was delicious. Which would have been 5 stars but the fact that I was charged an extra 7. 50 extra for using my debit card and I wasn't even told I was going to be a charged extra and it's not posted anywhere was just very upsetting and that will definitely determine whether I go again to purchase anything there if I'm gonna be charged a surcharge for using my debit card. read more

Great food and friendly staff for over 20 years!!! Their pan con tortilla is one if my favorite!!! Awesome croquetas especially the chicken ones!!! Yum!!!! Delicious desserts and fabulous pastelitos. Highly recommend this as the top Cuban Bakery!!!! Ask for Yosmel and tell him Lisvette recommended you!!!! Trust me you will NOT be disappointed!!!! read more

Been coming to this restaurant for about 15 years give or take. This place is the most inconsistent restaurant I have ever visited my life. Some days feel like I was given the tastiest best food ever. And other days I receive cold or completely hollow empanada. Not only this but at least 30% of the time they WILL get your order wrong. I never write Yelp reviews and they've pissed me off so much recently that I just had to let someone know. Absolutely ridiculous. Hire better servers/employee's please they are god awful. read more

It's so hard to come to this place and not want to try everything on the menu. It's a small restaurant/bakery but it gets business, and gives Vickys a run for their money. The food is cheap and delicious. The croquetas are the best. The staff is friendly, and attentive. I think their pan con bisteak is the best breakfast sandwich on the menu. It's turning into one of my favorite breakfast places. read more

The pastries dont look fresh because the area where they are kept is not warm at all. They look dry and day old. The person who makes the cakes now is sloppy and the deserts look hard and not fresh. Coffee is good and thats about it read more

El Bakery came through! Delicious food, ordered through uber eats and what I received was freshly cooked for me. Will most definitely keep ordering from them and will eventually go eat at their establishment. read more

I stumbled across this bakery while getting my car washed (great car wash btw) and had a pastelito de carne which was great. The next morning I was in the mood for a quick Cuban breakfast. This place came to mind. I brought my wife and we had your typical Cuban breakfast. We were beyond pleased. The food was great, quick, CHEAP and yummy. The ladies were real nice. We'll definitely be coming back more often. read more

Chicken empanadas, croquettes, pastelitos, breakfast are all good. Some mornings it gets a little crowded but service is pretty good. Everything is fresh nice and hot food! read more

Hay caramba! On Dec. 7th, 2021 my son placed a $200.00 Xmas eve dinner order for 10 to 11 people, for pick-up on Dec. 24th, 2021. Unfortunately my son was so sick he could not go pick up the food order and would not be able to make our family reunion. I then went with my wife to pick up the food. It was our First time to experience this business. Our pick-up order was for 1:00PM and I showed up at 1:13Pm with a slow moving long line outside. After waiting for about 10 min. or so the alleged owner a man in his early 40's came outside and told all of us that he had one oven that broke down and said that the those orders with a side dish of MOROS would have to return to pick UP that specific dish. Because I was standing further down the line I had to raise my voice to say "We can't hear you" and he repeated himself. I was of course very upset because I had driven 50 min to pick up this food for a 3pm party in Kendall (SW 88 st.) He apologized to everyone including myself several times. I had to raise my voice and maintain the same throughout the conversation because I did not want to walk up to him and lose my spot in line. I told him my dilemma and that he should have prepared a contingency plan for possible problems...that is what businesses are supposed to do. I told him that all he cared was about the money and not his customers. He had not planned very WELL AT ALL. Well' he told me I was insulting him. Besides having been told I should come back later for the missing order; he offered NO OTHER REMEDY or SOLUTION. I TOLD HIM THAT IF HE FELT INSULTED THAT THIS WAS ON HIM, NOT ME. My wife who was closer to him asked him if he could check if there was Chicken and Rice. He said he was going to check if there was any chicken and rice (which in fact was part of my order) and return. He did not even bother TO RETURN. Finally several minutes later we got inside only to further wait to be called :NEXT". There were people sitting SOME WAITING for 1- 1/2 hours to have their orders completed (overheard them). When my turn came up, again it was a slow service to bring the portions of my order to me and was told their was no Moros. I was told I could not substitute for white rice and black beans because they had run out and were cooking more. I overheard their own employees talking about how they had so many more orders than last year. I told the young lady that I was not leaving without some compensation and then called another employee who was short in manners and patience...and said she had to get the owner. Oh' boy same guy who made up excuses outside and that he had been here at work since 3am. Well' he came out and I told him if he could provide a substitute for the missing portion of the order and said he had none. I told him I wanted some type of compensation and he told me. He was raising his voice and getting angry at me. I was talking to him in a low tone. "You expect me to give food away for free"? He said I had raised my voice to him and insulted him in front of customers. I asked him why was he raising his voice to me here and he said that he had just about enough with me. I kept speaking to him in a low tone for we no longer were so far apart as we had been outside moments before.I in no way exhibited any sign of aggression. I continued to insist on some type of discount and he finally pulled out a wad of cash and gave me $40.00 saying that the portion of Moros was $25.00 and so he was giving me more money back. He was angry at this point and told me to get out and never return to his business and was ordering me out of his business...at the same time one of his employees or loyal customers was coming at me from around the outside corner of the counter but someone pulled his leash back and stopped him. The owner APOLOGIZED TO THE OTHER CUSTOMERS FOR THE SCENE. Anyways I kept saying I was leaving and walking away. He then called out and said Hey' wait a minute you forgot to pay the balance of the bill...so I returned and asked what was the balance owed. He told me $101.00 and as I counted out the money he was telling me to hurry and get out. He even said to give him back the $40.00 he had given me. I told him emphatically "No" AND WALKED OUT. My hope for redress from this most terrible, terrible experience was that I hoped the food would be great. It wasn't! ANYWAYS the Food quantity served was for 7 perhaps 8 people; not 10-12 as told and ordered. THE PORK WAS TASTELESS AND MISSING ONIONS and mojo, AS WAS THE YUCA and dry. The Chicken and Rice had several Huesos and huesitos (bones) which presented a choking hazard for anyone specifically for our 2 year and 7 year old grandchildren. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, POORLY PLANNED AND UNORGANIZED, NOT WORTH THE initial $200.00 or the 160.00 I eventually paid. In reality not worth no money at all. The plantains I admit were very good..you can't screw -up very much on plantains. SHAME FOR A 20 YEAR OLD BUSINESS. HOPE the owner LEARNED FROM MY INTERACTION WITH HIM.. read more
