Pastries galore! and very good breakfast sandwiches with their café con leche. Loved it so much decided to try their lunch options. And here is why I knocked off a star. Although the lunch options were few, the flavor was just OK. However what was more the disappointment is that I was getting takeout and I've never been to any Spanish restaurant... And I've been to many... Where the meat goes in the smaller of the three portion takeout container. I thought the girl was just not paying attention and I said something, to which she replied no that's how they do it there. OK. Well unfortunately the price doesn't reflect that and is probably a dollar or two more expensive than other Spanish restaurants. Just know if you eat there, you do get a smaller portion size. No más lunch there for us... but I'll definitely be back for the pastries and breakfast. read more

I have ate food from here about 3 times now. I was asked for my ID when I presented my debit MasterCard, and I have not been asked previously for my ID. So, I am not sure if that is a policy of theirs, or that I do not look like someone who would have an debit MasterCard. The food I have ate from here has been good. . Except the sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes are stringy and they should NEVER be stringy and they were not sweet enough. They do give you an amazing portion size as well, which is always great. Their collard greens are okay as well, but deff can use more seasoning and the Mac and cheese is good, but also needs more seasoning. I will come back for other items. . read more

To pricey. The service is not that great. The people are pushy. The food is delicious thou.

Five stars all the way. I waited to the very last minute to order a cake for my sisters birthday. Ordered it on a Monday and my custom cake was ready by Wednesday at noon just as they promised.. I was able to send over examples of how I wanted my custom cake to look and it far exceeded my expectations. Reasonably priced and the taste was wonderful. We even ordered lunch when picking up our cake and five stars for the Cuban sandwich and the breads. read more

Moreno Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Moreno's is right across the street from where I work, and it takes a lot of willpower to not go every lunch hour. Located in a plaza near King's and 60, it is very accessible and has back roads to give you enough options depending on the traffic at the time that you visit. I take this into consideration as Brandon traffic gets bad in the afternoons. There is a lot of parking space, however, they have to share it with several other businesses and the last time I went, there were no available parking spaces at all and people were parking across the street. I have been there many times, and have yet to have any negative interaction with anyone there. They really try to accommodate everyone trying to order, and they do have a number system although they don't always use it (especially when there is not a lot of people). I see that they are also doing stuff in the background while making sure that the customers get their orders, but are attentive enough that they ask me what I need even before I decide how many/ what type of pastries I want. There are the options to get hot food, Cuban sandwiches, pastries and desserts, coffee, or all of them. Hot food is good, although a bit pricey and not too flavorful, and the portions are a bit small in relation to the price you pay. The pastries are just wonderful! My sister drops by Moreno's every time she passes through Tampa on the way home to Parrish because her family loves the guava and cheese pastries as well as the quesitos. I drop by every once in a while to order those pastries to bring to them, and always end up eating one. My boyfriend loves their cookies and apple fritter, but says that the latter has a LOT of sugar. What would you expect though, right? (P.S. Apple fritter tastes really good). Cafe con leche is on point, I love the strength and flavor of the coffee. I wouldn't really recommend their hot food, but the sandwiches, pastries, desserts, and coffee are all good reasons to go. read more

I use to really like this location and their food but this have changed. Food not so good anymore. Also attempted to order cupcakes for my son's bday and she just asked I go to Publix lol. Ok. read more

I had my daughters gender reveal yesterday I've eaten from Moreno before I typically get the small coconut cream pie but I wanted a special cake for here!!! WHEN I TELL YOU THIS DAM CAKE WAS SOOOO GOOD!! I think I heard them say TRACY was the one that made my cake ! Well thank you it was sooo delicious I kept it in the refrigerator like I was told then took it out like an hour before . The icing wasn't to sweet , the cake was designed just as I asked , I'm not sure who was the lady that helped when I went in to order it but she was wonderful we talked about one of the guys that worked there that had 12 kids wondering why he couldn't never look at Tv! lol but I love the cake all the way around GUESS THEY HAVE MY BUSINESS FOR GOOD read more

Moreno Bakery - Baby gender reveal cake, yellow cake butter cream icing - Bakeries Near Me - Brandon, Florida

I was overwhelmed when I walked in the Bakery! It's was so many options. We decided on the oxtails, yellow rice, and plantains.. we got four different types of desserts.. I highly recommend this place. read more

I come here every time I have a major sweet tooth! They've got everything from cupcakes to rum cake to cannolis to lemon bars. For sure a huge selection with something for everyone's particular tastes! The bests: Tiramisu, Bacardi rum cake, blueberry gooey cake, guava and cheese pastry, pineapple upside down cake, cannolis. Also, they have hot foods! I got the Ropa Vieja platter with yellow rice and plantains once...its good, just maybe a bit pricey. I do want to try a Cuban Sandwich and an empanada from here next time though. One thing I like, they have plenty of stock. Most bakeries stop making batches close to closing but you don't have to worry about your favorites running out at this one. They have indoor and outdoor seating if you want to enjoy your desserts or meal there. Also the staff is very quick and attentive if you want to quickly pack up your box of goodies to go. Def my favorite bakery in the Brandon/Valrico area. Will be back...always. read more

After craving Cuban foods and desserts for about a decade I couldn't wait to make a stop at Morenos. Let me start by saying that the service was absolutely friendly! The Cuban and steak sandwiches were amazing! Definitely worth the wait :) We also ordered about 30 dollars in sweets. Which may have been overkill, but the cases are gorgeous. Go easy on the sweets when ordering. I have a sweet tooth but a little goes a long way here. They're definitely a little on the sweet side. read more

I just want to start by saying I never order their hot food. It's a little expensive for my taste; especially when there is a competitor not too far selling huge portions for way cheaper. Now, I love their cafe con leche! Strong and made just right. And you will die and go to heaven if you catch their macaroons fresh out the oven! They literally melt in your mouth. I have had a few things here. The breakfast Cuban is huge and filling, but I feel like they used what I like to call hotel eggs. The baked goods are decent, but nothing compares to a hot macaroon. read more

Good food, not so good service. if you want an overpriced delicious cake or pastry, this is the place for you. Just don't expect the service to meet the quality. Many of the staff leave you with an uncaring welcome and an urgent demand for your departure. read more

Bought a cake for my daughter here. I made a special order with specific instructions. It was way off and the taste ...meh. Definitely not the same Moreno's from years ago. read more

A great American success story. Jose Moreno has built his business the right way- delicious food, great service, and right pricing. Pastries, cakes, sandwiches, Cuban bread and coffee...awesome! read more

Love this spot delicious sandwich and good food and best pastries. Also excellent hot food and the service was excellent.

Staff is always pleasant! Their ham and American cheese croissant is so good! But get there right at 7:30 to get one because they sell out fast! read more

Brandon's little gem! I've gone to Moreno Bakery for many years and I'll always go back. Even before they moved to their now spacious store front, I've adored this family owned bakery. My go to here is their Cuban sandwich. The most important thing that sets Moreno aside from all of the rest; the Moreno Mayo. One word: AMAZING. It's truly what sets off their cubans and makes it better than any Cuban sandwich around! Don't even get me started on the bakery items. I could sit here and rave about every single pastry behind those glass cases. I'm in heaven every time I walk in the door. My inner child goes wild and immediately I can't wait to get my hands on a giant cupcake or a black and white cookie. Moreno Bakery is a Brandon staple and will forever be cherished by many. Myself included. They've got a little something for everyone. Whether you want a hot plate of food to go or a cafe con leché with some Cuban toast to start your day with, you're in the right place. read more

Moreno Bakery - Custom birthday cake - Bakeries Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Kinda pricey, the food is very good! You should check the place out if around the area. They have Puerto Rican food and desserts I think two people could easily spend about 40-50 dollars. read more

This place is awesome! It offers sooo many sweet pastry options and a steam table to boot! But the best part of the Cuban cafe con con leche. I can't to caffeine and I was so excited to find they offered this delectable drink in non-decaf...win! We decide to have the meat pie that is filled with the most delicious picadillo, Cuban style and the most crispy buttered French loaf toast (chef's kiss) deliciousness. If you are ever in the area, don't leave town without giving these guys a try! read more

I will say this I do come from Miami and I am extremely Cuban! So my expectancy level is extremely high. I did brace myself but I never thought that I would not only find one hair but two hairs in my food. I'm disgusted and grossed out I don't want to eat the rest I spent $70. I called the restaurant and they wanted pictures an X amount of things in return for a phone call back. I chose to just write a review don't waste your time. This is not even authentic Cuban food and I gave it a try. The Cuban bread is French bread. The ham croquettes are from a box. The empanadas are sweet and not fried or baked like they should be this is not Cuban food. Plus the hair was the cherry for me. Anybody want some croquetas with the hair on the side please. Maybe having the real recipes to these amazing dishes that are made with the real authentic Cubans cannot be imitated. read more

Came in ordered a cafe con leche and small Cuban bread with butter to go. Pay attention to your receipt folks they charged me $4 for coffee and and $9 for a small Cuban bread. And the manager was not apologetic at all about it. Well this is my last visit. Watch your wallet with them folks. read more

I love this bakery, the desserts are great and usually the food is amazing as well but today the food that I purchased was awful! Whenever I go there I get the same order so I know well what its supposed to taste like and usually it is pretty consistent but not today smh! The gouda Mac and cheese was watery it seemed like there was no cheese in it at all! What gets me is that they knew that it was not good and were still serving it! The rice which is usually flavorful and delicious tasted like paste just bland and chewy... what a waste of $14 read more

This bakery is more than a bakery! It has hot food (aka-pulled pork, chicken, greens, soup, stuffed potatoes, stuffed crabs, breakfast sandwiches...and on and on and on) They have so much variety besides their wonderful baked goods. The lines run quick and you can get hot lunch food at 10am! I got Gouda Mac & Cheese..yummy. The cakes look divine...they have so much to offer here its worth the trip! read more

Mmmm this bakery... Each time I go inside I feel like a kid in a candy store. I tell you, there is so much to try... And I want to try everything! Once you walk in, there is a dining area to the right with plenty of seating (there are a few tables outside as well), hot foods are to the left and the baked goods are straight ahead. I haven't tried much of their cooked foods, but if you're looking for a good Cuban, this is the place. The bakery area is usually where you can find me. This area can be a little confusing because they have a number system but don't ever seem to use it. Usually when you walk up to the counter, an employee just comes over and asks to help you. Once you get everything you want, they take your items to the register and you go there to pay and pick up. Again if there is a line, this area could be confusing because everyone just kind of stands there. Some things to try: Cafe con leche, apple squares, pumpkin squares, cupcakes (perfect size for a 1 year birthday smash cake btw), guava anything, Cuban sandwich, the different sodas in the cooler behind the counter. read more

Moreno Bakery is my go to bakery for most everything delicious and tasty. All their pastries are delicious and you can't go wrong with their coffee either! read more

If you can't find something you like here, then it doesn't exist!! They also serve fresh hot meals that give you that mom made it feel. If you like mom & pop shops with lots to choose from .... stop in & check it out. You won't leave hungry or disappointed read more

I visited this place over and over, but today I was upset!! The employee was very rude and I smiled at her and said smile and she gave me the biggest frown and started to talk mean to me I almost walked out if you don't want to be nice to customers stay home!! I can spend my money elsewhere!! The food was great I deserve to be treated nicely and anyone else should will be looking for other restaurants to visit because I don't like being treated bad when I could have went somewhere else!! read more

This used to be my favourite spot. I remember their commercials about 15 years ago in their old smaller location. But lately, the products have been worse and worse. Ordered 2 Cuban sandwiches and it does and it just tasted stale. Ingredients were old. Bread very "crumby." It's unfortunate, as I've been a customer for a long long time. read more

Have you ever looked at something and wanted it so bad you threw caution to the wind and just indulged? Stay with me now... So, walking into Moreno Bakery killed my carb count for the day (or 2...shhh). This place has every sweet you can imagine magnified times a billion and I can't even say this stuff is my weakness but Guava filled anything does grab my attention along with ooey gooey butter cake and they had the audacity to have it in pumpkin flavor! Cupcakes seemed to be bigger than a baby's head with flavors like standard vanilla, chocolate and a red velvet that would make you smack someone's mama (just not mine). Cookies, pies, cheesecake...everything here is BIG. To top all that off, if it's even possible, they have a hot food bar with comfort food such as oxtail, lamb shank, greens, mac n cheese and a deli case with a variety of salads and sandwiches. This place is a MUST STOP. If you normally eat healthy, let it go for a minute (or 2) and visit Moreno Bakery. Trust. read more

This is my favorite spot for my morning coffee and the cupcakes are huge and friendly. The staff is friendly and always says hello

4 stars because after giving Moreno's more chances to win me over, I was glad I did. In my previous review, I recommended the lunch (they have an amazing cuban sandwich) but wasn't a fan of the desert I picked. I still believe Moreno's bakery is a good place to go for lunch but after a few more experiences with them, I now am also a fan of their sweets! I must have just picked the wrong thing the first time, either that or it was an off day for them. A friend of mine ordered her wedding cake from here and I picked it up for her to save her the $75. delivery fee. The cake was beautiful! Not only that, it was really good and moist. Not long after her wedding, I was in the hospital for a few days, and the same friend brought me cupcakes from Moreno's to cheer me up. They were very very good. read more

We are so fortunate to even have an authentic bakery in Brandon. I was just discussing this with my mother on her visit here from GA. Independent bakeries that doesn't specifically bake only cupcakes are becoming scarce these days. I recommend this spot to anyone looking for sweets or savory meals. Hit two birds with one stone! Their hot foods and subs always smell so good at lunch time. It gets pretty busy that you're likely guaranteed a high turnover rate with their foods- never a stale item have I received. I'm a fan of their lasagnas, both chicken & beef, and their spinach gratin that I devour as a chip & dip appetizer. The vegetables are great, too. Subs are always a hit. The options for desserts will leave you overwhelmed as you'll want to try them all in one visit. Very tempting! They have cookies, rugelachs (& minis), cannolis, mini pies, cheesecake, flan, brownies of all kinds, biscotti, mini cakes and large cakes, cupcakes even. If you're looking for a nostalgic piece of dessert- they might have it. I can't name everything off the top of my head. The only complaint I have so far after my several visits is that the peanut butter cookie isn't really as peanuty as I hoped, no peanut crunch either. It's more of a sugar cookie with peanut butter flavoring. Hopefully the next time I get a PB cookie... It'll be better. Maybe. Or I'll just try something else new like I do with every visit. Yum. read more

Good Latin American bakery. Has plenty of the basics. Wish the Colombian food was more abundant, but it's got a little from everywhere. Their garbanzo and chorizo soup is mind-blowingly good! read more

This place was fantastic ! First time here , and it by far exceeded my expectations! Drove about 45 minutes to get here and so worth it! I thought it was just a bakery but it is so much more!

Not to mention the caféCito was fantastic! read more

We came by to try some of the hot food. We were not disappointed. We had the collard greens (bit salty but not bad) soup bean and ham can't remember the name but good. We also had the chopped pork with plantains, and green beans. The cafe con leche is also very good. It was very good also. We will continue to come back. read more

Okay so why am I just finding out about this bakery when I have been living in the area for so long? I recently found out about this bakery from a close friend. I was looking for pastries that tasted homemade. When I walked into the bakery I was impressed with the wide variety of selections and also noticed how clean the interior was. There is indoor and a small outdoor dining area. They also offer hot and cold food mostly consisting of Hispanic dishes. But they are primarily know as being a bakery. I'll try those next time but on this visit I only wanted pastries, I had a craving for some good ole pineapple upside down cake......and guess what? They had it!!!! I was over the moon. I was very tempted to try everything because they all looked so delicious. But I did not give into my desires and only ordered what I came for. I was pleased with every bite of the pineapple upside down cake. It was very moist, soft and flavorful. By far this was by best dessert ever! This will be my new place for my sweet tooth addiction. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of bakery goods. Others have suggested trying their sandwiches. I'll probably try the Cuban sandwich on my next visit. Thank you Moreno bakery for a tasty cake treat! read more
