    Tried Las Americas Bakery for the first time today for lunch and it was a nice surprise! Gainesville doesn't have many Latin bakery and this one did not miss the mark. I use to live in Miami and this is the best Latin bakery I've had since moving to Gainesville. I tried the recommendation from the server which was the Medianoche which is pull pork, ham, cheese, and tomatoes on a sweet bread and it was pressed. I opted for no tomatoes. The flavors was a party in my mouth with the salty from the pork and ham and the sweet bread! It was serve with fries which were good. The server Sarai was very pleasant and we spoke for a while as I was the only one in at the time. They also have pasteries, desserts, empanadas. Etc. The ambiance is chill. I got the "little brain," pastry to go! It a pastry that looks like a brain with cinnamon and apple flavor! I would definitely recommend that you give them a try!

    I didn't know this place existed until this morning, but I am glad I came across it. I give the experience a 5/5 overall, but I went there specifically for the Cuban sandwich, as I do Cubano reviews on YouTube (goofy, I know, but I love these things). I thought the sandwich was good, very solid. The pork on the sandwich was OUTSTANDING. Perfect texture and flavor. The only knock, and it wasn't even that big of a deal, was the press on the sandwich. I like mine super crispy, and this wasn't. But, to be fair, I did have to drive about 20 minutes before I tasted, so that could have contributed. I would definitely recommend this for someone in the GNV looking for a Cubano. Service was friendly and they had some good music going from the TV. Even had a patron doing a little dancing. Cool atmosphere for a random Monday visit. Not sure the link will work on Yelp, but here is a video of my review, if interested (spoiler alert- I scored it an 8.1, which is a very solid score on my own personal, made up Cubano scale): https://youtu.be/jKGsXHaTbpM

    I'm a big fan of their chicken empanadas. The other empanadas could use a little more "umph". Looking forward to trying their sandwiches.

    Cute Little Bakery on the other side of the town. Definitely some of the best arepas and empanadas I've had in Gainesville. Worth the drive.

    This place has a really fun variety of pastries from different countries, which is a unique layout!…read moreI got here around 10am and they still had a decent selection left, though you could tell there had been a lot more earlier in the morning. I went with a lingonberry custard pastry (I forgot what the actual name was) and it was absolutely delicious! The tart lingonberries, creamy custard, flaky pastry, and sweet glaze all complemented each other so well. I do wish there was a lot more filling and that it was more evenly distributed, as I only got a few bites with the filling and the rest were just plain pastry with glaze (still yummy though). The service was very quick and the people behind the counter were helpful and friendly.

    We got to Baker Baker around 8:10am on A Saturday and they were already sold out of most things,…read morewhich honestly just shows how loved they are. The lady at the front was so kind and welcoming, even though it was clear they'd had a rush (it was Easter weekend, so totally understandable that people came early and stocked up!). Everything is super reasonably priced,all items are $3, and you can get a half dozen for just $12. That's wild for the quality you're getting! They have an amazing variety: danishes, cookies, pound cakes, and more. We ended up with a vanilla glazed cinnamon bun, lemon pound cake, cinnamon danish crunch, almond cloud cookie, karma cookie, and a pecan pie bar to split with one of my close friends, and every single bite was absolutely delicious. I wish I had known there was a line forming right at 7am. I would've rolled out of bed sooner. Thankfully, they told us you can call ahead and reserve, which we might just do next time because I'm already thinking about going back. I highly recommend the danishes & vanilla cinnamon glaze glazed bun and the pecan pie bar! This place is one of those spots you'll want to visit again and again, just get there early or call ahead to snag the goods!

I needed a cheesecake for a friend's birthday and they were the cheapest option for those that still had availability. I ordered for pickup and when i got there around lunch time on a Friday, there were a few people inside. It was at that moment I realized there was a deli inside. While this place is like down the street from where I live, I had never actually been inside. Since it was busy, there was a tiny wait but nothing crazy. I told the woman what I needed and she quickly packaged up the cake. The taste was great! Now I will say I'm not used to Italian cheesecake, meaning I'm not used to there not being a crust but that's okay. I enjoyed it but more importantly the birthday girl was satisfied and that's all that matters. I do plan to go back to try other desserts and the deli .

    My wife and I were in town for a long weekend of Gator sports. As we packed up our things Sunday…read moreearly afternoon we wanted to grab something quick before we headed home. We went to Vietnam a couple years ago and now anytime she has a chance to get Banh Mi she does. We'd been here before but I think they recently added the Korean sticks to the menu. I always get a #1 without cilantro or mayo. They haven't messed it up yet. Pate is not really an American thing but it's a good combination. There's a dark sauce they put on the sandwich too which is really good. There's are freshly sliced jalapeños so take note if you don't like spicy. They are very thinly sliced so it's not overwhelming but there's a little kick. My wife got a sandwich but also tried one of the Korean sticks. She got the stick without a hotdog. It was basically a block of cheese coated in diced potatoes, kind of like frozen breakfast potatoes you can get at the grocery store. They deep fry it so the cheese is completely melted. I think she's glad she tried it, but I don't think she was impressed. We'll just stick to Banh Mi next time.

    Meh, I'm from Orlando and have been to the other PBM. Thinking this may have been the same owners,…read moreI ventured here. It took a while for anyone to greet me to take my order but after I ordered it did come relatively quickly. Not as fast as other banh mi places though. The banh mi itself was probably the worst one I have ever had. The bread tasted refrigerated and was very chewy. It actually took a lot of effort for me to bite and chew it. Definitely not good eats. Ambiance was nice with plenty of seating.
