    This is the amazing Vaca Frita Bowl at Pincho next door.

    I just waited 20 minutes for someone to take my order (1pm on Wednesday). The girl at the counter looked at me and walked to the back. No one ever came back. Mind you the place was empty. I tried to wave at them and nothing. I went to Pincho next door which was really good. The food here is fine and so is the layout but not great enough to wait that long.

    My favorite pastelitos!! All pastries are freshly made every morning. Friendly and warm service!

    These guys have some of the best pastries that I've tried in the pinecrest area. I've tried a huge assortment of theirs and they are all surprisingly excellent. To name a few - guava cheese, fried meat empanada, meat pastelito, croquetta, etc. The meat pastelito is definitely their star item. Super flaky and delciious, the meat inside is great and the sweetness on the pastry is perfect. I would buy these in bulk. The guava and cheese pastry is my other favorite - also flaky and delicious. I wasn't a huge fan of the cuban sandwich here, but i would came back here all day long for my pastry fix.

    Growing up in Miami, you are used to getting cafecito and pastelito in any corner "cafeterias" located all over South Florida. I remember every time after school or after basketball practice, we would go get croquetas and café con leche (so obvious we were under age LOL). Vicky's Bakery is not just a name of a bakery, it became a trademark in Miami, the go-to place for birthday cakes and pastries that started back in the 70s, continued through the 80s and 90s and through the new century. Due to the massive USA immigration last 20 years or so and the thousands of foreigners (mostly Latinos) coming to the MIA, many new places started to open up, offering different flavors in a more creative and "hip" way to target millennials and stand out from the pioneers. This is how CAO Bakery came to its existence. CAO is the family name of the owners of Vicky's. The grandson decided to reboot some of the shops, made them more modern. Grandson was looking for the "next generation bakery" and his vision was accomplished and done correctly Revamped bakeries, name changed but most importantly they spiced up the menu and let me tell you, you will NOT be disappointed! New sandwiches with names like the Medio Dia sandwich, the Sloppy José, plus a frita and a pan con bistec steak sandwich and many others. With over 7 locations (and expanding) all over Miami, they are strategically located and most likely one near you. From Sobe to Pinecrest to Aventura you will find one and let me know your thoughts. Again, this is just my opinion

    My obsession with CAO Bakery house croquetas is no joke. They have a slight onion hint in them which I love! Also am a fan of their quesitos which are soooooo buttery and crispy and delicious with the granulated sugar on top. The coffee also never disappoints and the arroz con pollo balls are so yummy! I also tried their catering back in December and OMG that pork shoulder was so good. The skin was crispy and the meat was very well seasoned. As a puerto rican I love some adobo and sazon so when I had a piece I was jumping for joy. It was so good we had for lunch, dinner, breakfast and a snack the next day. Not one piece went to waste. Service was top notch when I went to order and pick up.

    I love Cuban bakeries! And, after a god awful meal at a Cuban restaurant, my mother and I needed to go somewhere to eat something that tasted good. We got some croquetas for immediately consumption. She also got a cafe con leche while i got a delicious Mexican Coke. We also took to take home some Cuban bread, more croquetas, pastelitos, cookies and other delicious items from this bakery. Glad we found this place on the road back home. Good, quick service and good food.

    Delicious pastries and one of the best cortaditos I've ever had. Great price. This place was PACKED on a Sunday morning. The food is phenomenal and they even offered up some free croquettes while we waited.

    Two front desk people. Not efficient service.

    A great little bakery. As a New Jerseyan, I was craving a true Cuban coffee, and this place hit the bullseye.

    Every time we go to Miami we stop at the Pine-crest store. We love the food and take plenty back to the Treasure Coast. Highly recommended.

The space is warm and beautifully designed, perfect for a relaxed breakfast or a quick stop, and the staff is always kind and welcoming. A little slice of Italy in Miami that I highly recommend to fellow Italians and to anyone who appreciates great food. I'll definitely be back!

I even had half of mine left I put in the hotel mini fridge to drink as a pick me up before out early morning flight and it was so much better than any other coffee I could have sourced that morning.

There's no seating and no public restrooms--just a straightforward counter for takeout or picking up pre-orders. On weekends, the line definitely snakes around the building if you don't arrive early, but they keep spirits high with a flavored water dispenser and the occasional sample to tease your tastebuds. From baked goods to breads to even some savory treats, you want to check this gem out! The baked goods are a total evolution of the craft. Their filled croissants are legendary, with the Dulce de Leche and Pistachio being absolute fan favorites that live up to the hype. If you're looking for their mini croissants, just keep in mind those are made to order. However, the true star of the show is the Pavlova. It is a next-level masterpiece, but it requires a few days' notice, so make sure to plan your visit accordingly. It's a hidden Miami treasure that proves you don't need a fancy dining room when the food is this good.
