I ordered a large cafe con leche, grabbed the last pack of assorted pastries, one loaf of Cuban bread, and 2 cannolis. We liked many of the pastries. The Cuban bread was the best! We made egg and cheese sandwiches. I should've bought two loaves. The guava filled pastries were very good too. The cannoli was dry and the cream filling was too sweet. I'm glad I only received 1 of 2 cannolis. It wasn't good, but I did pay for it. The lady who helped me was nice, but took her time chatting with her coworkers and coming back to me. The cafe con leche was perfect!!!

From the moment we walked in we were pleased with everything. The 2 ladies at the counter although very busy greeted us when we walked in. Everything was run like a well oiled machine, very efficient and with respect. My husband and I each chose a warm savory item as well as a sweet treat for later in the day. I had a ham & cheese empanada, let's just say the pastry was light and airy with wonderful flavor probably the best pastry I ever had. Later in the day we had the caramel danish, OMG! The sweet cream cheese and caramel on top of a perfectly executed pastry, thin but not skimpy and crisp but still tender was like heaven on Earth! I'm sure we will be stopping in to bring home some sweet treats!

It seems I have been on a bakery spree recently. I came by this Havana's Bakery Cafe a few weeks…read moreago. I had previously been to another location in 288th Street in Homestead... and I found out while there about this location which is closer to my home. It is a smaller location and does not have the selection the one in 288 has... mainly it's missing cakes. But it gets the job done for me... as I was just looking for a good but cheap Cuban breakfast... eggs, croquettes, Cuban toast, cafe con leche. The breakfast was good, cheap and quite filling! I attached pictures of the meal and prices for anyone interested. One thing though, besides the cakes, is that because it's a small location, they don't have a lot of employees. I placed a large to go order, someone else did at the same time, and another customer came in just to get a few pastries and croquettes. The staff was a bit overwhelmed so it took a bit of time to get the food. A great little bakery in south Homestead if anyone wants to get their Cuban pastry/croquette fix. I will come back.

Dearest Charlie Uz,…read more I am writing to formally express my concern regarding an experience I recently had at the Publix located at 1220 E Palm Drive, particularly regarding the conduct of Store Manager Elias Gonzalez and the level of customer service I received. At approximately 3:20pm, I went to the store to order two salads. There were two ladies ahead of me being assisted by a gentleman. I waited until I was called by a female employee whose ID badge was not visible, so unfortunately I was unable to get her name. I proceeded to the salad station because that was where I wanted to place my order. The employee stopped at the sub station, and I politely asked her to come over to the salad station because I was not ordering anything from the sub station. She continued asking me what type of meat I wanted. I explained that I understood her question, but that I was asking her to come to the salad station because I wanted a specific cut of meat rather than the pre-cut meat. When she did not come over, I asked to speak with a manager. Mr. Elias Gonzalez came out to speak with me. I explained what had happened, including my concern that the employee's ID badge was not visible. I did not feel that Mr. Gonzalez handled my concern in a professional or helpful manner. When I mentioned the employee's badge, he stated that she was wearing a sweater. I questioned whether Publix employees are required to have their identification badges visibly displayed. I was later informed that employees are expected to have their identification badges visible. Unfortunately not for Mr. Gonzalez. I then asked to speak with another manager, Kristina S, who had assisted me with a previous issue. Kristina recognized me immediately and asked where I had been because she had not seen me in months. I explained that I was still upset about a previous experience at this same location. On that prior occasion, I had gone to pay for my purchase and was told by the cashier that she was closing her register and that I needed to go to another cashier. While I understand that employees may need to close registers, I felt the way the situation was handled was discourteous and contributed to my overall dissatisfaction with this location. Ms. Kristina was present when this occurred, she did address the employee. I also previously had an issue with the bakery department at this same store when the bakery manager spelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" incorrectly on my cake. I had taken a picture of the cake, and Kristina S saw the picture and apologized to me. What concerns me most is the repeated pattern of customer-service issues I have experienced at this location. I have been a regular customer of this Publix, and it is literally across the street from my home. Despite that convenience, I have reached the point where I no longer feel comfortable shopping at this location. I believe the leadership of a store sets the standard for how customers are treated. As the Store Manager, I expected Mr. Gonzalez to listen to my concerns, address them professionally, and make an effort to resolve the situation. Instead, I left feeling dismissed and disappointed. I am asking Publix to please review this situation, including the conduct of Mr. Gonzalez and the customer service practices at this location. I would also appreciate clarification regarding Publix's expectations for employees displaying their identification badges while working. I have been a loyal customer, and it is disappointing that I now feel compelled to take my business elsewhere even though this store is so conveniently located to my home. Thank you for taking the time to review my complaint. I hope Publix will take my concerns seriously and use this situation as an opportunity to improve the customer experience at this location. Sincerely, Ms. Timmons
