    Cuban bread
    Nicole P.

    My mom was craving breakfast being delivered this morning. So I said let me see what UberEats has to offer and we tried out this bakery. I'm so glad we did because the food is delicious. I ordered the original. Everything was fresh and warm. My Cuban bread perfectly toasted and buttered. My eggs were good and seasoned. My fries were crispy and good plus my bacon. I would definitely order from them again and try other options. Also my cafe con leche was perfect. I definitely recommend them.

    Hello H.

    Everything went well.I had the grilled chicken rice and beans and plantains. So delicious. The guava pastries are delectable. I bought four and ate two. And I gave the other 2 to 2 other people. They agreed with me.I ate in there. Then when i was leaving i got 4 more. That's how delicious they are.There's no comparison to any other place. Everything is made there. Everyone who worked there were so nice.I recommend this CAO to everyone. I know I've already reviewed this café, but I had to do it again because it's just too delicious. Everyone has to go try it.

    We made a quick stop here for some goodies for the weekend. We got a couple of chocolate chip cookies, red Velvet cookies, and a small cupcake style piece of chocolate Bundt cake to try. Service was good, and the ambiance was homey. Glad this bakery is in our area.

    This bakery is near our hotel and it was our saving grace because we love the food! we did not have to uber anywhere far to eat since this is a walking distance away from us. They have a variety of food to choose from. Ready to eat bread, cakes, and empanadas. I loved the milanesa chicken because of the great flavor and the affordable price! I loved everything at this restaurant that we went 3 times during our stay! :) You can practically eat here for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even just for snacks. Has tables and chairs to eat and tables comes with a fresh rose centerpiece! If you are vacationing near this area. check them out and you won't be disappointed.

    This is probably the fanciest Cuban bakery I have ever seen with modern interior and flat screens and everything automated. Staff was super friendly and because end of the day I even got a freebie.

    Love the option of ordering at the kiosk. Sometimes I'm indecisive and don't like the pressure of someone behind me. There are 2 kiosks. It has the option of paying there or the cashier. Plenty of options, very affordable prices. Inside was clean and comfortable. I did take a star off because I had to return both coffees due to them not being hot. Some of the food items like the beef empanada and dulce de leche pastelito were OK. The toast and elephant ears were soo good! So many options to choose from

    Mi Cao favorito de todos: súper limpio, súper bonito, la comida súper rica y el café a la perfección. Las chicas que te atienden son encantadoras, Miriam, y todas las demás.

    Medio Dia combo
    Jamie M.

    The Medio dia is the perfect thing to order if you don't know what you want. It's savory, sweet, and a little salty--a perfect combination. Super cute cafe, too, with lots of options at an affordable price.

    Our three little islands at NBV desperately needed a solid neighborhood cafe and bakery. The CAO Bakery & Cafe delivered. The iced coffees we had were refreshing, the breakfast croissant perfectly toasted and sweet , and the 6-pak bocaditos ham spread was the perfect aperitif while we waited. Look forward to years ahead for weekend brunch, takeout for the beach, catering for house parties, and cafecitos on the run.

I do wish that the 10% late night service charge was more spelled-out, because I would've tipped accordingly having known that, instead of tipping a combined 30%. The worker did a great job, but I felt bad that he was the only person taking orders and making all of the sandwiches. One would think that the late night charge would give him a little bit more help behind the counter... Can't get enough of their house-made vinaigrette!

I most recently stopped by for a bite at this location a few blocks from North Shore Open Space Park, a.k.a. the full moon party. They have a few outside tables as well as an inside counter seating area. You typically order your sandwich & smoothie, pay and then your belly gets happy. They have a few regular sandwiches that they make fresh (i.e. not premade), as well as a "build your own" option on the menu. My go to is their Italian sub on a crispy baguette. It comes stuffed with ham, prosciutto, and salami as well as a slice of cheese. You do get to customize the green stuff, which for me is fresh lettuce, tomatoes, red peppers, and their little cornichons (baby pickles). As far as dipping sauces, they have the usual oil and balsamic as well as a lightly creamy vinaigrette, which to me had a slight hint of spiciness. I loved it! Going for my sweet tooth, their açai bowl is really packed with the açai paste, granola and fresh berries. The staff is pretty friendly and gets my order out on time. The spot is also dog friendly, I've seen folks come in with their four legged children.

A counter seat is hit or miss but nice to have available instead of only being a walk up window. Skip the smoothies. They're watery and thus not very filling or flavorful. You're better off getting a sandwich (again, as this was my 2nd visit) or going somewhere else for a smoothie.

I came around 1 PM and the restaurant was really busy with locals and some tourists. The restaurant only has counter seating in the windows with barstool seating (no inside seating) so you have to wait until someone gets up and then you seat yourself. I waited about 2-3 minutes and found a seat (it's all pretty quick because people eat their sandwiches and come and go). When I was seated I was warmly greeted by a restaurant employee and he promptly took my order. I ordered the Bora Bora smoothie to start (around $7) and ordered the turkey and brie cheese sandwich (around $10). The smoothie was made quickly with fresh fruit and the sandwich is a huge portion and came up quick with fresh bread and all fresh produce, the sandwich was truly amazing! Make sure to use the vinagarette dressing on the counter, this is homemade and is so good! If you're near a La Sandwicherie location, definitely stop in!

This is a solid two star situation and I am being generous because one of those stars is purely out of pity for the effort, not the execution. The math is not mathing here and the internet needs to know. Let's start with cleanliness because that alone already set the tone. The restroom was filthy. Like the kind of dirty where you stop and think wow this photo is about to live on the internet forever and rightfully so. I live by one rule when it comes to restaurants and it has never failed me. If the restroom is dirty, the kitchen is dirty. Period. There is no universe where a restaurant magically keeps a pristine kitchen while letting the bathroom look like that. Once you see it, your appetite is gone and you're mentally clocking out of the experience. Then came the wait. Almost thirty minutes. Thirty. Minutes. And before anyone says maybe they were slammed or making something special, let me stop you right there. They are not making gourmet food. They are not crafting artisanal anything. This is heat it up and send it out energy. And it shows. Everything tasted like hotel breakfast food that's been sitting under a heat lamp wondering what it did wrong in a past life. When food takes that long, you expect effort. What we got instead was microwave confidence. The only thing that deserves any credit is the burrito and even that is me being nice. I'll give it a four out of five because at least it tasted like someone tried. But the Yes Bowl breakfast thing whatever that was is a hard no. The avocado toast is also a no. A loud no. First of all, it was not toasted. At all. It was mushy bread topped with mushy avocado and zero texture. If you are going to call something avocado toast, the toast part is not optional. That is literally half the name. What made the whole thing even more bizarre was the way they were moving. The vibe was giving empire level importance. Like they were serving a Michelin tasting menu instead of lukewarm breakfast plates. The pacing, the seriousness, the attitude did not match the food whatsoever. It was honestly confusing to watch. And yes, I did say something when the food came out cold because that matters. Do not let cold food slide. What did they do? Put it in the microwave. Immediately obvious. The potatoes should have been on a grill with oil and heat. Instead they came back tasting reheated and sad. That is not fixing the problem, that is confirming it. Overall this was a waste of money and a waste of time, and the only reason I'm even writing this is because people deserve to know. I will not be going back. I do not recommend it. And if you find yourself here with cold food, just know they are not remaking anything, they are reheating it. Sometimes a bad review is not hate, it is public service. This one is absolutely that.

I nearly didn't order any food because the menu in the restaurant (as opposed to what is featured online) was nearly 100% meat! I thought it was supposed to be healthy! At the last minute, I spotted the egg and veggie burrito, so I ordered that. This is a fast casual kind of place, where you order at the counter and they bring the food to you when its ready. We sat down after ordering and waited. And waited. We then got up to see what the delay was and waited some more. There was one other customer in the restaurant, so I don't know what the delay was all about. When the food finally arrived, it was good! I generally have a problem overpaying for food that I can make at home, so that was a negative here, but it fit the bill. Probably not worth the price and the hassle, but hey, I was there and hungry, so there you go.
