My friend and I dodged across highway 1 to get here and let me tell you it was worth it. We came back the next day for more breakfast goodies. Coffee is on point, one day had the cheese and papaya pastelitos, the next day had a yummy ham and cheese number with a super secret (ok not really) stripe of seasoned meat baked into the pastry. Oh yeah had a guava juice too. The ladies up front aren't being "not nice" I just think they're being efficient. There was a line both days and it went fast. There are a couple of 2-4 tops inside and some seating under a cool tiki gazebo outside. read more

We originally set out looking for a different coffee shop, however when we had difficulty finding it, we pulled into Pinecrest Bakery. We were so pleased with their breakfast selection and latte options. I had the cafe mocha iced and the buttered toast, it was so yummy! We will definitely be stopping by tomorrow morning as well! read more

Pinecrest Bakery - Iced Caffé Mocha - Bakeries Near Me - Key Largo, Florida

In my research for my trip to the Keys this place was one I found several times and saw good reviews, so I marked it and was ready to try it out. From the outside, Pinecrest looks so cute and nice and there's a little outdoor patio to sit in, but as soon as I walked in it felt different. They were playing music really, really loud, so it was difficult to even talk to someone because it's hard to hear them speak let alone yourself. The desserts in the display case all looked wonderfully delicious, so we got the chocolate mousse and a guava flavored cake. But, we stood waiting for someone to help us for probably close to 10 minutes. There were plenty of workers, just none of them would come over to us and so I was feeling a rude vibe already from that. Then, the lady who finally helped us was just really unfriendly and barely spoke (which I guess with how loud the music was maybe it didn't matter anyways), but I was really unimpressed with the service overall. And when we tried the desserts, I mean they were okay but they really weren't anything special. Next time I'll just go to Mrs Mac's next door. I hate leaving bad reviews but I felt so unwelcome at this bakery and I don't want others to experience that too. read more

Their food is really good and they have a convenient drive-through. It's excellent Latin food, which is very difficult to find in the keys. I would highly recommend this bakery. read more

Drops up to drive through window. No one helped us. Proceeded to pick up window to order. No one spoke English. Tried to order (I speak English) and the girl just walked away. We left. Never to return! read more

Ordered catering for a 60th birthday party. I was having trouble ordering online as the date wouldn't save and the manager, Nairelys, and her team went above and beyond to make sure my order was taken and correct! Called me after hours to be sure all was good. The food was delicious too! Thank you PB-Key Largo! read more

Has declined a bit over the years, post Covid. Thin supply at lunch isn't a great advertisement for being on their game. Service is always good, and the place is kept very clean. read more

Service inside is Slooooooow even if you order ahead. The attendants inside are on super slow speed and it appears to always be understaffed. But the food is great and the pastries and sandwiches are authentically cuban amd Latin American. They have super good food eat and sandwiches. So glad they are here in the keys. Amd wouldn't change them for anything. They also sell alcohol. Open 24 hours. And use the drive thru read more

The ingredients are there for this bakery to corner the market in Key Largo, but it's current operational inefficiency and random staff 'attitudes' will hamper its true potential. 1. Fix the drive through speaker 2. Coordinate the line inside the store to actually be organized. 3. Get your credit card machines to speed up the transactions. By the way, the cafe con Leche and pastelito con Guava were delish -- but waiting 33 min for them -- May have made my to lose my appetite. read more

The store is super busy but service is still quite fast. The mini cubano is quite large with tons of ham and cheese. The egg sandwiches were also quite large and had crisp bread. The croqueta and pastelitos were nice and flavorful as well. We really enjoyed everything and hope to come back! read more

Ordered a platter of croquettes for a boat party. There was a total of 25. They were the small croquettes and they were delicious. I came by to pick them up Saturday morning and the bakery was slammed packed. I don't think I've ever been to any pinecrest bakery and it not be super busy. Over all a 5! Staff is very nice. Must speak Spanish! read more

Given that we ate here three times in 2 days, I guess you could say we liked it. We had breakfast twice. The pastries are wonderful. Very light and warm with delicious fillings. Since this is a Cuban restaurant, we had to come back for lunch and have a Cuban sandwich. It was excellent. Plenty of meat on tasty bread with a great mustard.  Highly recommend Pinecrest bakery!!! read more

I was charged $56 for TWO cupcakes in a large order. When I looked at my receipt later and noticed, I tried to call but had been BLACKLISTED in their Maitre'd system. When I called from a different phone, I got the run around that no one spoke English. I speak enough Spanish to communicate my issue and they still acted like they didn't understand me. I've worked in the service industry and have familiarity with these systems and believe this was intentional. F this bakery. I used to live here and frequent the Cutler location regularly but never again. read more

The food was amazing!! We waited in line for a little bit but it was totally worth the wait! The service was amazing, we got everything we wanted and it was amazing.

Scrambled eggs were ice cold and lumpy. How can you ruin scrambled eggs! Toast was soaked in butter. Really bad meal!!

Very Disappointing. I went to the key largo location 11-26-24 I ordered a media noche without mayo and mustard and it had both and plenty of it. I threw it out because it made me gag (I can't tolerate mustard). The house croquetas (freshly made) were fried in oil that tasted like fish. The pastelitos de carne were stale. The only good thing was the expensive empanada de ropa vieja and the canned sodas. read more

So many delicious treats! From the savory empanadas to the fresh cheesecakes. This is a treat in Key Lago. The locals told us and we agree, this is a must try spot. read more

Need to fix their signs outside they aren't 24/7. And they need to fix their hours online as well bc they don't close at 9 they close and lock the doors at 8:45. And they will look at you and ignore you. read more

Conviently located right off of Overseas Hwy, it's definitely easy to stop here for a quick bite before going further into the keys. Very friendly and fast service, plenty of outdoor seating. However food is mediocre. The house special croqueta are sizable but taste is ok. A mix of Ham and spices, nothing that blows your mind. The ham and cheese croissant has plenty of ham and cheese but the ham and cheese is cold as the croissant is warm and toasty...I was expecting melting cheese to drip off of my croissant. Overall would come back as it's the only Spanish bakery for miles, will definitely order something different though. read more

The best pastelitos, empanadas and cuban coffee!!! Visited 3 times during our trip to the keys and loved it all.

If you're headed down the keys it's a great place to pick up some road food before you hit traffic. They have nicely made Cuban sandwiches but there best offerings are the fruit filled baked goods. read more

HOLY CUBAN!! We stopped by on our way to the Keys based on a rec from a foodie friend. Their menu of sandwiches was very impressive! I wasn't particularly super hungry so I got the "mini" Cuban and my husband had the Cuban. The "mini" was enormous, probably a solid 6" sub sandwich size, on amazing Cuban bread that was perfectly toasted!! The flavor of the sauces and the meats was delightful! The portion size of my mini and his regular sized Cuban were VERY generous! His reg size was absolutely HUGE and he was pleasingly stuffed for the night. Their cordita was a shot of espresso with a little sugar. We each had one and it was the perfect amount of caffeine for the early evening. The food was a solid 5/5 but the customer service was definitely a 3/5 and we were not even greeted upon walking in. I would absolutely return to try a variety of their other sandwiches, next time we are in town. read more

Have been waiting for over 40 minutes for our food that consisted of a couple sandwiches and empanadas. When we received our order we go no empanadas and had to wait an extra 15 minutes for them to make them read more

Inconsistent food and service quality. When great it is hard to beat. Two of three times we visited were great. The other we got poor food quality after poor service. So seems hit or miss. I think you should try it if you are in the area and find out for yourself. Maybe you will get the great food and service experienced by so many others. read more

Portions were good and flavor for their sandwiches was on point but disappointing that half the ingredients for my Cuban didn't come on it?

I saw a lot of bad reviews. I'm not even sure what I ordered for breakfast but it was really good. The pic is after I ate the first one. I was in and out in just a couple minutes and had three men in front of me. Service was quick. They were waiting on me to decide what to order. Very nice people if you speak to them. I would recommend trying this place for yourself. read more

Came in around 9am looking for something good and sweet. The bakery display was bare with only a few single items here and there. When ordering my bf speaks fluent Spanish, but i do not. The server didn't seem to want to speak in English to me, So he helped. They were friendly other than that. I got my food, but he had to stand there and wait for her to get his while she was flirting with someone who came in. He finally had to remind her what he ordered. As for the food, the Nutella pastelito could have been good but the Nutella tasted burnt. The strawberry and cream pastry was delish though! My bf got a pandevono with ham egg and cheese and that was good, somewhat like an egg McMuffin and also a Palmier which is always good where-ever you go. The good thing is they are open 24hrs. read more

Great bakery that's very popular with the locals. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Huge selection of Cuban and Colombian baked goods.

This place rocks! Friendly service fresh pastries and amazing coffee. Love going when I visit my family down there.

Management really needs to spend some time working the counter to observe what is going on. The staff is rude and have very little patience and manners. We can stand in line for a long time to be served but when we have a simple request we get eaten alive. The pastelitos and croquetas were burnt and extremely dry this morning. I made a simple request for different ones while she picked them. The female that helped me was rude, loud, and yelled at me that she couldn't produce better ones. It was take it or leave it. I hope and pray another Cuban bakery opens up in the area. The pastelitos, croquetas, and staff suck. read more

The food and service is A1!! It's pinecrest bakery..can't expect no wait. However it's always worth the wait! Just Walk-in is fastest. If there is a line you can always tell where it ends and how to get into it. There are always 2-3 ppl working in orders so the line moves :) Great pit stop or mid day pick me up! Ps. They do have a drive thru but generally ppl go there when placing big orders like cooked sandwiches etc so the line can be a wait...want just coffee and pastelito just go in! read more

Eh. It says "open 24 hrs" but that does not include the deli side of the menu. Ordered a slice of strawberry cheesecake and chocolate rum cake instead of the Cuban sandwich, due to being there at 6pm ish. Let's just say, there was left overs and I'm a carb queen. Staff was friendly, items in the case were pretty. She packed our desserts nice with tape and spoons inside. So, that was nice since we were traveling. Visiting there once was enough for me. read more

Painful to say the least. I know I love Miami but at what price? If waiting for a Pastelito is a thirty minute ordeal, I'd rather give the nearby places a shot to impress me. Moreover, the blasting despacito track wasn't soothing me either. Finally, I gave my order not missing the oomph attitude from the PastelitoLady and the non-existent smile I'm supposed to receive based from genetic manners. Jesus Christ, getting a glass of water was nearly impossible. Nevertheless, im tenacious and I got my water, ice, mediocre cup, and midgrade service with a touch of chonga sprinkled on top- how do you expect me to feel ? Breakfast became a nightmare & my croqueta was cold. I actually believed in you guys-que falló read more

We were so looking forward to getting our Cuban dessert fix here. We got two coffees and a mix of different desserts. When we arrived at home we noticed some of the items we ordered were in the bag upside down. We know we didn't mishandle the bags so it must have been bagged that way in the bakery. What's most disturbing is what we found when we fixed the items. MOLD! They served us moldy food and tried to hide it. This place is ruined for us. Luckily I was able to get a full refund. Oh!!! And one of the ladies working in the store had the audacity to suggest that since it is Flan De Queso (cheese flan) that the mold was just cheese. read more
