The bakery was not clean. The window displays for the desserts and pastelitos (pastries) need some serious TLC. 2 stars for the coffee alone and because how cheap it is at .70 cents. Quality is definitely not a factor here. I was kinda grossed out just drinking the coffee to be honest. Hopefully they get their act together. They have potential. I can see it but for now it's just not there.

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

I stopped in again this past Tuesday, and the experience was very different from what I've always known here. The service was unfortunately very rushed and inattentive. We had hoped to dine in, but our food was packed to-go without asking. My sandwich was bland, and even though the cashier asked for my full order, parts of it still came out incorrectly. I know Cuban bakery culture is fast-paced and "grab and go," but this time it felt like because we weren't regulars, we didn't receive the same warmth or care. At one point, I even felt like the cashier was worried I might walk out without paying -- an uncomfortable feeling I've never experienced here before. They seem to be renovating, and I truly hope it's just growing pains, but things felt disorganized. Someone was offered an item from a handwritten menu, only for another staff member to say it had actually been removed. The digital menu wasn't fully updated either, which added to the confusion. It honestly makes me sad to write this, because Lucerne has always been a special place to me and my family. I'm really hoping they find their footing again after the renovations and get back to the level of quality, flavor, and warmth that made this bakery such a treasure for so many years.

That brought me to Lucerne Bakery, and as expected I'm so glad it did. This place is super busy, but the ladies behind the counter are incredibly friendly, fast, and efficient. Despite the crowd, they took the time to answer my questions, help me pick out the right items, and pack everything with care so it would survive the flight home (which it did perfectly). The vibe is old-school, no-frills, but super charming. If you're in Miami and want great coffee, authentic local pastries, and genuinely kind service, skip the hype and head to Lucerne Bakery. It's a must-visit in my book. I can't wait to have the pastries I brought back..
