We came here on a Sunday shortly before they closed. The restaurant is in a shopping center with plenty of parking. We are from Tampa and live in San Antonio and there is no Cuban food there, so we are always looking for it when we travel. We got a medianoche, a cubano, croquettas, papa rellanos, and a guava and cheese pastry to go. They made the sandwiches to order in the back and the rest were in display cases on the counter. We got all of our food to go. It was all amazing and the best Cuban food we have found in Texas read more

Best Cuban sandwich and coffee. I also got the arroz con leche. I will be back for the pastries. read more

My go to for Cuban sandwiches. Fresh bread and wonderful taste brings me back a few times a month.

Love my Cuban sandwiches and in my opinion, these folks make the best! Stop by and try some of their yummy "pastelitos," too!

Tried all the empanadas, they were AWESOME! The Guava and cream cheese are an office favorite! read more

Cuba Bakery & Cafe - Guava and cream cheese empanadas! - Cuban Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

There aren't many restaurants in Austin that make good Cuban food, but this one is hands down one of the best. We ordered several trays of empanadas and pastellitoes that the family enjoyed. We will definitely return. read more

The tastiest Cuban pastries and potato balls! We had their cheese danish, guava and cheese danish and their beef potato balls. All were fresh, and tasty! But try to get there early because a line starts to form and they begin to sell out of food. The owner is extremely sweet and helpful. read more

We got the potato balls and Cuban sandwich which is basic as it comes pork, ham, mayo, mustard, cheese, pickles can't go wrong with that didn't have a price on it. I don't member how much it cost they didn't have prices on anything. We also got the potato balls soon as you bite into the potato it tasted watery like it was frozen and it retained water, if I had to come back, I'll get the Cuban sandwich again. Update: sorry potato ball I was calling them Papa rellena..stuffed potato. Potato was watery when you bite into them it killed the favor of the beef..maybe not enough water was drained out of them after the boil?! read more

They are known for their cubanos. However in recent years they downsized the ingredients on the Cubano and raised the price. The taste is consistent but but worth its weight. read more

As a disclaimer, I have high standards for Cuban food being part Cuban and from Miami. That said, Cuba Bakery was a great fix for pastellitos and a sandwich being that there aren't many places like this here in Texas and I would give the store 3.5 stars if I could. We were lucky enough to arrive on Saturday around 11 am with no one in the store, which was what I was worried about reading some other reviews especially since we wanted to try a couple different things. Service was friendly and easy to order despite there seeming to be only two employees. About four other parties came in after us though and they had a wait to order, but it wasn't anything exceptionally long and everyone seemed okay. My party ordered cafe con leche, cortadito, tostada, ropa vieja sandwich (I wanted pan con bistec but they weren't serving that), a chicken empanada and guava pastries. The flavor of the coffee was not what I'm used to (like a trusty Cafe Bustelo) nor was the Cuban bread (a little heavier than the typical thin crunchy outside and soft inside). The ropa vieja was still delicious as were the pastellitos and food was fairly priced. The restaurant felt like a hole in the wall - bright orange, Cuban themed decor, typical bakery displays - so definitely don't take your date here, it's just a place to quickly pick up or grub on a couple sandwiches at lunch. I would actually say the ambiance is what felt most like smaller Miami Cuban restaurants! Was also lovely to take my full order in Spanish. It felt like home :) So overall, if you're looking for your fix of Cuban food and want to support a business like this, you should try this place if you're already in the area. Traveling from miles away to try this place with expectations just as high as mine, however, you might be better off learning how to make these foods at home. I will personally be returning though to try a couple of other things as I'm just 10 mins away and see if I just happened to come on a good day service-wise, and will update! read more

Cuba Bakery & Cafe - Pastellitos - Cuban Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

This is a cute little place with really great sweet and savory options. Really enjoy the Cuban sandwich, guava pastry, and cheese rolls. Reminds me of the ones I used to get back in LA. I've been back multiple times and enjoy trying different rolls and empanadas. read more

The prices are right. The pastelitos tasted good (had the cream cheese, guava and cheese, guava, and ground beef pastelitos). The Cuban coffee were legit. Yes, the offerings are scarce - the display case is rather tiny compared to what I'm used to seeing. Yes, the ambience leaves a lot to be desired. It's desolate, empty, and mostly undecorated, unlike the colorful Cuban bakeries that are all over Miami. Yes, the fillings inside the pastelitos were ok the skimpier side. And yes, even the customer service was not that friendly. But it did hit the spot beautifully still. read more

Cuba Bakery & Cafe - Small display cases, and not exactly full. - Cuban Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

The employee taking the order was nice enough but from there it was disappointing. My daughter and I ordered 5 pastelitos. They were cold and stale. When asked to warm a few of them, the employee took them and brought them back soggy and they had been warmed in a microwave. Don't ever warm pastelitos in a microwave! My daughter wanted to leave them on the table and I am sorry I convinced her to take them out with us as they were truly inedible. We had lived in Miami for many years and have had many delicious Cuban pastelitos, so we were very disappointed in this place. Hope they can improve and impress the next customers with warm, fresh pastries or keep them under a warming element to keep them warm and crisp. read more

So I kept passing by this place and finally the fam and I stopped in to check it out. I decided to try out the Cuban since, well, we only had a few options on the chalkboard to choose from. The lady who took our order was very nice and friendly. We had to wait 20 minutes for our order but she told us up front it would be that long, so fair enough. The sandwiches were subpar. It definitely fulfilled a craving, but I moved here from Central FL so my standards are pretty high. read more

This is the worst Cuban food I've ever had. The cafecito (Cuban-style coffee) was so bad I threw it away, for the first time I have ever done that in my life. I left feeling insulted... by the food. (Cafecito is precious, you're never supposed to waste a drop!) Pastries were stale and did not taste good. read more

Love this place. My Abuela has been getting food here for years for get togethers and to give as gifts. I recently went myself for the first time and it was great! read more

They are open Thursday- Sunday for takeout also call for catering! This place has guava and cheese with balls and I'm so freaking happy I found it ! The lady at the front was super sweet very informative about all of the food and the menu. They have a cute spot and mouth watering selection. Price is very good. I bought a box of 9 things and my bill was under 20$ so I'd say I'm a happy camper price point wise. I used to pay 40$ for the exact amount I ordered in LA. So happy to have found this one. read more

To start, the staff is not friendly at all. The owner isn't even nice when responding to reviews. The place has been around for a while, so I thought it would be a good Cuban food option. Parking is okay, no veggie options, which is fine. They didn't have much to offer- maybe I got there too late? I visited again, same deal. I read the many positive reviews, but I don't get it. I suspect they are written by friends. In any event, I stand by my experience. Unfriendly staff. Poor service. Unless you are a "regular" you can forget about fresh, hot, tasty food. read more

Cuban sandwich was fantastic with generous portion. Empanada was flaky but left me wanting a little more filling. Inside is very casual and a bit on the smaller side. Was told a 10 minute wait for my sandwich but came out quickly. Will be back in the future to try other sandwiches. read more

Cuba Bakery & Cafe - Cubano - Cuban Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Husband and I drove an hour to visit this place as there are not many Cuban restaurants in Texas that I've come across, but I desperately miss the food. Unfortunately when we got there, we were greeted with a line of customers all sort of angrily waiting for their order to be taken. There were no pastries anywhere and a small black chalk sign at the register saying that they were only serving one type of sandwich. Very disappointed but decided that one sandwich was better than nothing so we waited around. 15 minutes go by. 2-3 employees walked in and out of the back and moved things around but no ones orders were taken and it was hard to figure out what was even going on. We ended up leaving. Sad experience. We won't be coming back but I had really hoped it would have been different. Edit: owner has written back to me to call me a liar. Make with their integrity what you will. They messed up but im the liar. What a world. Second edit: the owners reply publicly is even more hilarious. As you will see by many other reviews of the place, my experience is shared. And maybe since I haven't gone back, they got rid of their workers but when I went that was not the case. This business won't survive for long and its sad but when youre unable to take criticism and improve and instead try to attack your customers, you'll never build success. Look at any kitchen nightmare episode with similar attitude from owners. Hopefully Austin gets a better representation for Cuba than this place. We deserve it. read more

Amazing authentic food! Pictured are tamales, flan, beef empanadas, Media Noche (sandwich), which were fantastic. Sandwich Cubano is also wonderful if you prefer sweeter bread. Also, a picture of their wonderful bakery case. Only one con: with its increasing popularity, unless you get their early you may not get much of a selection. The bakery opens at 8am daily and is closed on Mondays. They are opened later (till 6pm) Thursday thru Saturday. read more

Being that I moved out here recently with my family..we were looking for a good cuban bakery as we've had great Cuban food in Southern California at a place called, "Porto's"..We were hoping that it would be just as good since we've read such reviews here on Yelp. Unfortunately we were disappointed and it was NOTHING like the wonderful Porto's. We made an attempt to visit Cuba Bakery on a Monday since it stated on Yelp that it was open until 8. On the door, it says 8am - . Its blank on when it was closed..so that was one disappointment. How do you not post a closing time on your door? So we made a second attempt since we had a mad craving for yummy cuban desserts and yummy sandwiches...but this place broke my heart. We ordered a few sandwiches..One was the cuban sandwich. Barely any meat..I don't call a skimpy piece of meat for a sandwhich a sandwich when you can barely even taste it..No flavor and the bread was just "ok"..Nothing outstanding..not even toasted but a plain roll. Bleh!. We also ordered the sandwich with lechon. Horrible. There was no flavor. Totally bland,..dried out pork, filled with onions..no sauce..nothing to give it ANY flavor and the bread was chewy. WTH! I shake my head at such sandwiches and am ashamed. I'm used to flavorful sandwiches with heavenly flavors and stuffed with meat and yummy goodness. As if that was the only bad thing..we had a tamale and that wasn't any good...Again, no flavor! My brother makes better tamales than this place! They skimped on the meat inside the tamale and it was basically cornmeal..You'd need a magnifying glass to find the darn meat. Grr..Another kicker was trying one of their potato balls. We bought two only to eat one since it was again..an item with no flavor. The meat was flavorless and blended in so much with the potato because of the lack of flavor. How can this place exist when none of the items we've had were so tasteless? We even ordered one of their pasteries..it was pretty much an apple turnover.Out of all the things were ordered that was the only thing that was ok..not great..just ok. Had I known it was going to be such a great disappointment, I would've rather tried the cuban food truck, Texas Cuban. Their sandwiches look a heck of a lot more flavorful..and their sandwiches even come with plantain chips..like other Cuban places..not a cheap bag of Lay's potato chips that Cuba Bakery does. *sigh* I gave this place a chance and will not be coming back. Ugh. what a waste. read more

This is my second time driving 35+ minutes to eat at this restaurant and it has been closed before closing time and during hours. First time I arrived around 4 and doors were locked on a Thursday. Today I arrive at 1:20 on a Tuesday and doors and lights locked and off. So disappointing. read more

Good food, weird service. Being gluten free, I asked for the one non-bread plate (meat, beans, plantains or something). They were out, and with the language barrier, I asked can I get anything else similar- any kind of meat, beans and some plantains or tostones. They said no, so I just got tostones and sweet plantains. The family got empanadas and desserts. Desserts were too sweet, but the empanadas I'm told we're pretty good. Note, they were short staffed like a lot of other restaurants. I'm sure it would have been better with more staff and food. read more

I visited this bakery last weekend and wasn't impressed. The fryer wasn't working so the tostones weren't available. The pastelitos de guava were dry and the pastelitos de carne had no flavor. The Cuban sandwich didn't look like it was put in the plancha so the bread wasn't crispy. read more

I moved here from south Florida where delicious Cuban food abounds.

I am a huge fan of family-owned businesses and I would love to give Cuba Bakery & Cafe a better review. I have tried to visit many times and they have been closed. When they are open their selection is very slim. The menu is difficult to decipher from so I just ordered from the case. I ordered some pastries filled with meat because it was the only savory option available. They were good, but not great. read more

I should have paid better attention to the reviews... drove here only to find it's not open during regular business hours. No reason, just closed on a Thursday afternoon. No way to run a real business. read more

Cuba Bakery & Cafe - Closed during the middle of posted business hours. - Cuban Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

5 stars for the chef/owner in the back working at the kitchen and making such wonderful food for all these years. ZERO stars to the co-owner and lady in the front, who simply does not seem to have the personality for hospitality or restaurant service or shows any welcoming gratitude or happiness at incoming customers. Others have commented on the sterile atmosphere of this business and the lack of caring for working hours (today, Tuesday, they had yet to open at 8:10AM, mind you , this is a bakery). I have been coming here for years and most of the time they are open for business. It is as if the person in the back is doing his best to turn out great food and the person in the front trying her best to sabotage what could be the best little Cuban place in all of the 512 are code. Very sad. That said, if you are in the area and feel lucky, roll the dice and stop by. Every single thing I have eaten there is just like being in Calle Ocho in Miami! read more

I haven't actually been in the store, but I am looking forward to coming in and trying some more of their treats! My neighbors have brought home their empanadas a couple of time for us to enjoy. We had beef and chicken... the filling was nicely spiced and the pastry perfectly chewy and flaky. AND they are only $1 each! After reading the other reviews, I am planning on stopping by soon to try their flan and Cuban sammy! read more

Not a real Cuban sandwich. They would not let me use the restroom. Could not wash my hands.

I've been here twice & love the Cuban sandwiches. The bread is amazing. They also have a great selection of pastries. I have yet to try the coffee but am looking forward to doing so. The only downside is I'm not quite sure what all the menu options are since the person waiting on me didn't speak English or know how to explain the options in English. Still, I plan on making it back & trying something else, even if I don't know what it is =) read more
