Until I get to try the food, I'm going to give it a four charge because the place was packed. The…read morefood looked amazing and I received two empanadas for four dollars! Can't mean that. Hopefully they're going to be as delicious as they look like they were. This place is busy, busy, busy. That is a complete reason that I actually pulled into the parking lot and I was so shocked at how many cars were there in such a small place. Everybody was having a great time and really enjoying the food. Place had a nice feeling inside about it as well as it looked clean and well presented.

I wish I could do a 3.5 rating…read more The business is on and poppin'. The parking lot was crazy and crowded the whole time we were there. My daughter and I were the only non Latin people there. I realized quickly I was probably going to need to dig deep for my South Florida Spanglish. Thankfully I remember the verbs and words to get me what I wanted. All my hair appointments in Miami paid off. We ordered four beef empanadas. The menu does say there's potatoes in them, but the issue was more there was barely any meat and mostly potato. It wasn't quite what we were expecting. The actual empanada had a pretty thick crust as well which was different. We also got 2 pastillitos with guava, and two with guava and cheese. Those are money!!! We will absolutely be back for those. You can order online, and if you can't speak any kind of Spanish or speak very little I suggest ordering that way. I will probably do that myself next time. The lady who helped me was kind by not making me feel even more insecure over my basic Spanish speaking. Very much appreciated.

Excellent pastries, cakes, cookies, and breads. This is a real bakery (and quite a large one). I…read morehaven't been to any bakery that's remotely at this level in North or South Carolina. Even the most persnickety of New England transplants would have to acknowledge that this is a really good quality place -- they could hold their own against most of the great bakeries (many now gone) in the Northeast. And they are comically, absurdly, ridiculously, ludicrously better than any other bakery in the Southeast. It's a German bakery, so the style of pastries is a bit more dainty and exquisite (gewählt, even) than those at a typical New England bakery (where danishes are generally massive, with a thin pastry border surrounding a vast caldera of fruit or cheese filling). But, that's just a stylistic thing. The pastries at Strossner's are elegant, very tasty, soft, not dry, and perfectly made. The apple and lemon fillings are as good as any I've had anywhere in the United States. The cheese filling, and chocolate cookies and cakes are excellent, too. Everything is also very fresh -- these are clearly pastries made without any sort of preservatives, so aging will quickly show. Basically, this is the best bakery I've been to since at least 1984 (when I was a very small and chunky kid, in Fall River, MA, home of bakeries). And, like the serious bakery they are, they also have breads. Some very well-made authentically German breads, too. When there was a line, it moved quickly, and service was excellent at the counter. Everyone was very friendly and well-informed about the products. There are also some brunch-type items (quiches) but I didn't try them. They looked pretty good, though. My only fear for Strossner's is that, due to the apparent lack of competition for hundreds of miles or more, there may one day be a loosening of standards. But, since they seem to still be owned and actively run by the original founding family, it's pretty darn good right now.

Prices were good, very average. Pastries were good but…read morenothing special. Wouldn't go out of the way to eat here.
