amazing service with excellent food variety. The clerk was gracious and very attentive in meeting my needs. I would say that she deserves a raise on my count for the great service provided by her.

Karla Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Miami, Florida

I found Karla's bakery later in the evening when most bakeries had already closed. I was glad to find one open that sold señoritas, so I could buy them to take on my flight. Karla's bakery is a nice size with tables to sit and eat. They had easy menu options with pictures and prices. Right at the time I was ordering, a new batch came out. Four señoritas were just under $5. I don't know if I got a bad batch, but I've had my fair share of señoritas and none tasted like Karla's. It had a nutmeg flavor that isn't usually there. Also, the pastry crust was darker than normal. See picture. The señorita was edible, but it was not the delicious, classic señorita. Karla's is convenient and satisfied my need; however, i was not satisfied with the taste of the señorita de azúcar. There are some other bakeries open 24 hours and I might check into them instead. read more

Karla Bakery - Dark looking señorita de azúcar - Bakeries Near Me - Miami, Florida

NOT FRESH!! NO SON FRESCO LOS PASTELITOS! Went this morning at 7:30 AM to buy pastelitos for breakfast, bought a huge assortment out of the display case. They were not fresh!!! My whole family agreed they were not fresh, and stale. What a waste of money!! We threw them out. Even the Cuban bread felt like it was day old. Hadn't been in a few years, and we won't be back. read more

Good 1st time experience. I had an office pot luck luncheon so I searched online for a reasonable bakery. This was out of my way but I read the Yelp reviews and this place was decent. I was helped by one of Cuban ladies behind the counter. She had difficulty understanding English but she took the time to point which ones were there most popular items. I tried their chicken, beef, ham & sausage empanadas cuban style (they also offer bake Argentinian ones), ham croquetas and beef papas rellenas. I liked all of the them except for ham & sausage emapandas. It was little dry for me and not enough filling inside. So I ordered a platter for next day pick with the ones I did like. It was also inexpensive: Empanadas - $1.52 - 1.77 Croquetas - $ .77 Papas Rellenas - $1.27 They also have a huge selection of desserts and cuban pastries on display, plus full service breakfast and lunch menu. I will order here again for the next pot luck party or bring some treats for my staff :) read more

I asked for their pan con bistec to go and unfortunately for me when I was able to eat my sandwich, I realized it wasn't nothing like the menu's descriptions. It was literally just bread and steak and some onions. Very disappointed, specially cause I couldn't do anything about it. read more

What Happened to this awesome bakery?? Their signature pasta Leto's have changed to something generic very thin and very hard. I don't know what to say but what I just received is not what I'm used to getting at such a great bakery also the place change the menu is different don't know what to say even the Cuban bread was bad. read more

Just like most Banana Republics government systems, Karla Bakery's sales operations don't make any sense. But just like most Banana Republics, the food is awesome. The nonsense may not be entirely their fault, but they probably are the only Cuban bakery with a "system". Yeah, in Miami, having a system, a method, only causes confusion. In Karla Bakery's case, nobody gets it, because that is not what people are used to, and because that is not the way things work 'round here. Let me preface it this way. If you go to a Cuban bakery, you must know how to order. These bakeries have an implied system where you have to get the attention of the person behind the counter to be able to order. This may be aggravating if you are extremely polite or shy, if you don't know how to get people's attention, or if there is a large group and people get picked at random. To be successful, and able to order, you need to be, in the parlance of Hispanic Miami, "cojonu". Once you have the person's attention, you start to point out every pastelito, pastry or croqueta that you want, and they either write it down on a little slip or they put it in a box (or a tray). Then you walk to the cashier to pay, and that's when you remember you wanted one more thing, so you go back and call the person that helped you (she is probably helping somebody else already) and interrupt and add something to your order. If you decide to be considerate and wait, then you fall in a category nobody wants to be part of, which is "tremendo comemi*rda". That's how you order at a Cuban bakery. Maybe out of this frustration, Karla Bakery developed their "system". For logical people, this may seem straight up: you make the line to the counter, order, get an order number and pick up. It seems straight forward but the truth is, Miami is not ready for that. How can you order if the food is not in front of you? If you have Alzheimer, like 60% of the population in Miami, you end up with messed up orders and upset people that don't want to make the line again to order what they forgot to order in the first place. I don't come here as frequently as I would like to, or as I used to, but when I do, I see all these shortcomings and the frustrations boil. People get their order and want to add something but they don't want to make the line again. It almost never fails. But after telling you that, I now have to tell you this. There are about fifteen cafeterias, ten bakeries and ten supermarkets serving Cuban pastelitos in a ten block radius, and this bakery is always packed. Just to get your order is an easy fifteen minutes. The reason is a no-brainer. Not only do they have some of the best pastelitos in Miami, but also the largest selection, and more. It has become an institution because of the variety and innovation, without a doubt. My favorite things to order here are guava/cheese pastelitos, and the meat/special pastelitos, which are meat pastelitos with ham and cheese, topped with an olive. Of course, that is not all I order, I also get cheese pastelitos, guava, coconut, meat, cangrejitos, tequeños, and other stuff. But that is just some of the pastelitos, I can't think of the whole list. Oh! yes, croquetas... And I wash all this down with a cafe con leche. You may also get a juice, or a batido, even a fresh squeezed orange juice. Don't forget this is a real bakery though. There is a whole display full of desserts, which includes flan, capuccino, señoritas, etc, and they make bread, crackers and baked goods. Plus, you can place orders for cakes and party trays, or you could pick up one of the *to go* trays and be the life of the party (trust me on this one). Finally, know that when you come here, it's going to take time. If you are ordering pastelitos, do what I do and write a list on your phone, that way you don't forget anything. I know it's crazy, but you don't to make the line again (trust me on this one). Wait, did I say that again? read more

My cousin is the best. I didn't personally visit the bakery but my cuz from Miami brought a bunch of my favorite pastry to VA with her! I heart Pastel de Guayaba (Guava Pastry) and this bakery is legit. They prepare it so well. The pastry is flaky, slightly buttery, slightly sweet, and oh so good. The guava filling is smooth, light, not too sweet, and incredibly flavorful. So happy and grateful. read more

Open 24/7!! However, since we came late (around midnight on a Sunday), there definitely seemed to be less of an assortment of pastels to choose from. Not everyone here speaks English, but there is at least one person who can help you if you can't speak Spanish. I ended up trying: -Pastel Guayava ($0.95), Tequeto Pequeto Guayaba Y Queso ($1.27), Pastel Guayaba Y Queso ($0.95) [http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=9y53ivHtDbLlyuTtyq7jaw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg]: The tequeto was definitely the least favorite since the piece of queso in here was giant and salty- skip! The guava & queso and plain guava were both good, but nothing special. I thought they needed more filling to pastry ratio. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here, but it is very convenient they are open 24/7. Since we came so late there was plenty of parking, but their lot isn't that big. read more

Have been here many times, particularly late night, but never reviewed it. The croqueta preparada, which I've had on prior occasions, is quite large and good, but I've definitely had better. Tonight, after chillin at Art Basel with some German friends, I was hungry on my way back to Country Walk. Unfortunately, there was no guava and cheese left at 3 A.M., but I still had 2 delicious, flaky, and filling pastelitos de coco and one guava. The lady there was very nice, by the way.Grand total: $3.21. Just found out they have a 24/7 location on 137 and coral way, so definitely gonna have to review that one. 12/14: was hungry for late night eats, so I got a pan con lechón, 2 tequeños, 2 guava n cheese pastelitos n a small cafe con leche. Café con leche was on point and delicious, the pork on the pan was kinda dry (then again it was 1130 pm), and the guava n cheese were just ok. Service was great by hard working and sweet Arelys. Will be back! read more

Not a big fan of there pastries but all the locations are spot on. Great service and cleanliness. But i was a little disappointed this morning when I went in for breakfast this morning. I'm not a big fan of their cuban bread so I ordered my toast on sweet bread. The cashier advised me that wouldn't be possible and I thought you couldn't make any changes so preceded to order the breakfast the way it comes with a side order of sweet bread toast and that wasn't possible either. I could see if they didn't offer that type of bread but they have several sandwiches with that option. I really wish they had that option being that their right up the street from me. But then again I'm thankful to live in a country full of options. Got my breakfast up the street for half the price and had table service. It's the little things like this that leave a bad taste in your mouth. I wish much continued success and be assured I will never step foot in any of your establishments. read more

This place is good if you are ordering a special hot order. But, if ordering pastries they are cold and I asked if they can be warmed up and they said they don't have a microwave or anyway to do it. Also, expect to wait 15 minutes minimum in line. Very slow! It's a shame because they used to be much better. read more

me encanta los dulces de Karla Bakery los más sabrosos y fresco. Tienen muy buen servicio

I have no idea what happened with this bakery. Pastelitos are not any Cuban recipes that I recognized. We spent 24 dollars in 6 pastels a cortadito and batido de mamey. Everything was awful. Pastels are light and fluffy, these pastels are heavy and all filing very artificial from the meat paste like filling. To dry paste cream cheese. The Cuban toast was fine but it was not butter but something else spread on this bread. My advice if you find yourself in this neighborhood don't stop here keep going. read more

Karla Bakery was my introduction to Cuban breakfast upon my arrival to Miami. The first thing that struck me is the huge portion sizes. You really get your bang for your buck here. I got the omelette sandwich (large enough to split between two people), fries, and a cafe con leche for only about $7.50, tax included. The food is good, but nothing to write home about. I prefer the coffee over the food here. I can't say anything about the service as I don't speak Spanish at all and my friend ordered for me. Interior is pretty drab, although it appears they're currently in the middle of renovations. There's still enough space to eat at a table if you choose to do so. I mainly ordered from here because the location was convenient for where I was staying. Decent option if you're in the area, but not worth going out of your way for, in my opinion. read more

I love this place!! Open 24/7 and has the best pastelitos!! I love their coffee too, serves Miami realness

Growing I used to love this place, the past couple of times that I've gone back this place quality has changed. They've raised the prices give you smaller portions now and cut corners in they're food quality. It's just not noticeable with one item either it seems have with all of they're items. I would understand to raise the price to be able to provide us with the same quality and taste but not to cut corners and make the items even smaller. Sad to say but they've lost a couple of loyal customers with us. Would not recommend. read more

I'm learning Spanish because of the ladies behind the counter @ Karla Bakery. Not because it's difficult ordering the mouth watering Pasteles de Queso or Guayaba, but because I can't figure out if they're flirting with me or just having a good laugh. It's probably the latter. It's a local spot that's been around for 20 years and their cheese pasteles are A-Mazing. This place has a huge selection of sweets and other Cuban bite size treats with a great little web-site fully explaining each and everyone of them for people like me. I usually sit in the car outside practicing the order in Spanish, only to forget and fuck up as I walk up to the counter. They have 4 spots around Miami. So check them out and order some Pasteles for your office. read more

My least favorite Cuban Bakery in all of Miami I know some people that know a lot about food LOVE this place (BurgerBeast) and I respect their knowledge but they have no clue when it comes to Karla and her self righteousness. First, the ordering system. They have this new angle number system and then you go to the counter and order and pay and then some lady(when she is done drinking her cafecito) forms your box and proceeds to fill it with over-hyped pastelitos. Why did they have to reinvent the wheel. What happened to getting to a place and waiting to hear "Proximo" and then having your own personal croqueta concierge? You pick your pastelists by eyeballing them and you fill up the box the lady picked it based on space...couple inches left? fill it with a Señorita another thing, the prices!!!! what are these baked treats made of?? Oro??? GTFOH Pro-tip They are open 24 hours. Best time to go? NEVER read more

I had a bad experience I posted on Karla bakery this week. With Negative review. I wanted to say my post got management concerned enough to reach out to me that is rare caring thoughtful FYI ***** They also reached out to today to replace the pastries that means that they care about how we feel . So I am giving them five stars since we are all human are here for the long haul. As for me I will continue to go when in area . Happy thanksgiving all. read more

Karla Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Miami, Florida

I've been to this Cuban bakery a long time ago - and when I did go, I thought nothing of it. But after going to several other Cuban bakeries over the years, and then coming back to this one recently, I've gained newfound appreciation for this Miami institution that has been around for at least 25 years. It's still quite a shame that they don't have another location closer into downtown or the beaches, but maybe they're just keeping their true and tried practices close to themselves, preserving quality along the way. While Versailles bakery gets its fame from borrowing the name of the restaurant next door, this one gets it for flavor and quality. The variety of goods here are pretty extensive too - from crackers, sweets, breads, and pastries. I tried the guava pastelito, the coconut pastelito, cream cheese pastelito de queso, ground beef empanada, ham and cheese pastelito sandwich, and Cuban cortadito coffee for a teeny bit over $5. The highlight for me was the sandwich and the coconut pastelito, but everything else was definitely good. The only thing is that I think they could add a bit more cream cheese to the pastelito de queso especially along its ends - but it's a minor complaint. Definitely a good stop for authentic Cuban snacking and breakfast. read more

Used to be my favorite, but now, I have no idea who decided to save some money and make the Guava & Cheese pastries the same as the Guava. That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Sorry, you can't just add cream cheese to the guava pastry and think it's the same thing. Their form, shape, bake and taste different. Their tostada is no longer half a Cuban bread, but that's ok, I know Covid has made things difficult so I'll let that slide. read more

I recently went to Miami, FL for Wrestlemania 28. Don't judge - I've been a fan since I was 5 years old. In any case, I was more excited about eating traditional Cuban pastelitos - tiny, flaky pastries filled with a variety of different ingredients. I checked Yelp and was drawn to Karla Bakery because of its proximity to my hotel. I ended up going back every morning for the four days I was in the Miami area! The pastelitos were so flavorful and the other delicacies were great as well. I highly recommend the fried yucca filled with meat. I brought a dozen pastelitos back to Baltimore for my friends and they all loved them! I also highly recommend the fresh squeezed orange juice and the cafe con leche. The cafe con leche has the perfect amount of coffee and the right amount of sugar that makes it just wonderful. I recommend Karla Bakery for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Mmmmm, now I am craving a pastelito! read more

Went to Miami for a conference and during my limited free time I wanted to get a quick local experience. Stayed at the Sofitel near the airport and this place is right around the corner in a high Latino populated area. Based on other reviews decided to give it a try and grab a pastry to have for breakfast. Walked in and quickly realized no one there was fluent in English. That was exactly the Miami experience I was looking for! With my very limited Spanish skills, I was able to tell the young lady at the pastry counter I wanted something sweet. I managed to get two pastries with coconut type filling. I think they were pastelitas, maybe? Absolutely loved the experience and the pastries were amazing! Been craving them since I left. The little box they packaged them in was adorable. Gracias, mi Amiga! If you're looking for a quick Miami local cultural experience and love delicious pastries, brush up on your Spanish ("por favor" and "gracias" will get you a long way!) and take a chance. If you prefer the stale everyday experience and think everyone should only speak English, there's a McDonald's down the street. Enjoy your pre-made chemical filled "food". I highly encourage you to step out of your comfort zone. You'll have some amazing experiences! read more
