Excellent coffee with even better pastries. I honestly would struggle to find something negative to say about this place. The service was pleasant and prompt, and the staff patiently answered all of our questions. The cortadito was excellent, and the pastries were even better. They were fresh, delicious, and exactly what you hope for from a good bakery. This is an easy recommendation and definitely a must-visit if you're in the area. read more

We came in for some quick bites before we had to head back to central Florida. They fried us some croquetas traditional and tequenos fresh. Also ordered our colada and cafe con leche. We have yet to find a place that has coffee as good as this in central Florida. We had to get some before we headed home. read more

Pinecrest bakery is so good! This was my first time coming to this location in South Miami and it was nice and quaint. You have to take a ticket when you first come in with your number on it. I ordered the tostada with ham and cheese and it was so good! The cheese was perfectly melted and added pickles. I also ordered croquetas de la casa which were tasty and packed with that good ham inside. I also ordered a preparadito which has ham and cheese in a pastry puff and also ordered a tequeno! Love it all. read more

If you're black don't go to this location. I've been here a couple times and each time I get skipped. Not a hello or nothing. I'll never support this company again and this is coming from someone who's a chef and chef for high end clients in the area. Horrible I'll never support again. read more

Love this place. I visit daily if not every other day for coffee. They get busy but that's because they are good. Yes the girls only speak Spanish but I only speak English. We have used translator when necessary. It's always a pleasure going there and watching my elders speak over a colada and chitchatting and laughing like it was yesterday about 8th street. We all have our places we like. If this place doesn't work. Then don't go, keep driving but reading half of these reviews I feel like picky people are just unrealistic or just want things their way. These girls servicing us are real people trying to do the best they can even when they are busy. read more

I don't know why they have a low rating on Yelp. We had such a pleasant experience with friendly employees and even a friendly customer who left the line to open the door for us since our hands were full when we left! It was around 5:30 pm when we stopped by before heading back to Broward County to pick up some pastelitos. After looking at their selection, we ordered some cheese, and guava & cheese pastries, Cuban bread and cafe con leches. My husband even got some mini pastelito trays for his office. They showed us what was in the box to make sure that our order was correct. The cafe con leche was perfect for the drive home. We had the bread with our dinner and it was sooo soft! Can't wait to have the pastelitos for breakfast tomorrow! read more

The coffee here is consistently good, but the pastelitos can be hit or miss depending on how fresh they are. I usually do to-go orders and can get in and out within 10-15 minutes, so I can't really speak to the atmosphere beyond that. read more

food was great, fresh. this is a "to go" place. I think it's the smallest PB I've seen. the staff is friendly and patient with disabled patrons. the language barrier I give the patrons who don't speak at least a bit of the language of the land just a star. The language of the land is Spanish - ask Ponce de Leon when he discovered Florida in 1513. read more

Efrain is THE MAN! I was back home, celebrating my Mother's 75th birthday. While up and about early in the morning, I had a taste for a guava pastry but sadly my favourite bakery from back in the day is now closed Driving back, bummed out, I Googled "Guava pastries near me" and Pinecrest Bakery popped up. Full disclosure, I detest franchised anything. They often lack that Mom and Pop feel. I like that old-school bakery, if you take my meaning Pinecrest, though franchised is surprisingly very good! They have an extensive menu of baked goods and if you cannot find at least 5 things to wreck your diet, there's something WRONG WITH YOU! I opted for a guava pastry and a guava and cheese. Both were A-MA-ZING, especially with my Cafe Bustelo. I know that I mentioned "5 things" but I only had two. Why? Well, it's Mom's Birthday and I will be into some cake later. Yes, yes, y'all. I'll grab the other 3 things... tomorrow...LOL Good job Efrain, you have excellent products! read more

If you like pastelitas and croquettes make a stop here! I enjoy the cheese and ham croquettes. They also have a cheese filled pastelita that is pretty good. I do think the cheese can be more evenly distributed tbough. I'd recommed the quick in-n-out order and enjoying it at home. The seating is alright, but the place is pretty tight. It's all about the food, not the ambience. I think the hard thing is for gringas like my self is placing an order. I had a bit of trouble communicating with the associate who took my order. The outcome was fine, but it was a bit difficult. Either way, I went there for good food and that is what I got. read more

Our friend took us to this place for breakfast while we were visiting the area and the selection of items was incredible. We got a box of assorted delicious items, most of which I can not pronounce. But they were all delicious and fresh. The café con leech was absolutely delicious. The staff at the counter were prompt, friendly and attentive. read more

I have been craving cafe con leche all week and Pinecrest Bakery didn't disappoint. It was so good!! We ordered 12 ham croquettes but we only got 10. We ordered a cheese pastelito and didn't get it. It's shown as a guava pastelito on our receipt. Now we're still hungry. Sad! Can't bother to go back! Learn from my mistake and check your order before you leave the bakery! read more

Stopped by without checking the reviews as I passed through the city on my way south. Cafe con leche was tasty and the simple ham and swiss was as equally enjoyable. About a half an hour on the road after this take out order, I took a bite of one of the under baked Tequeños. I purchased two. Hoping the best, I tried the second one. Two raw tequeños. I called the establishment to get the money credited. Only the tequeños, mind you, not the whole order. I suggested that I could post the pictures on social media either here, Facebook, or Google to try and meet her demand of needing to see them. The lady on the phone came unglued. I reiterated that I was passing through and that this was the best solution for them to verify that their product was raw. She continued with the meltdown. She lacked the capacity to use reason and logic so I hung hang up due to her yelling. Any establishment who is willing to resolve issues like this would never receive a negative review. However, the endless braying and unreasonableness is what compelled this review. read more

Not one of our regular haunts and was surprised to see the low ratings. We miss the location on 79th street - so when we were in the neighborhood we stopped in for a sandwich and coffee. Everything was excellent and the staff was friendly. Mrs Dubs was thrilled with the pan con bistec - authentic to her childhood memory with the potato sticks and all. The place was bustling and you have to take a number as you enter so they must be doing something right! read more

I'm on the fence about this particular location...I mean it's the closest to me so I go here by default but it's not my favorite...the service is ehhhh, they grab the paper that line your to go boxes with their bare hands! I mean besides COVID, I don't know if that person just finished picking their nose...it grosses me out. I guess we all need to boost our immune system right!?! Also, when I go sometimes around noon, there already out of a lot of things like their stuffed yuca. And their pastelitos are sometimes burnt! So overall, I guess this location is making me not wanna eat as many pastelitos and I guess that's a good thing for my waistline! ;) read more

Service is slow. Breakfast sandwich ratio - more bread than eggs. Have a smaller roll to fit your egg ratio and charge less. read more

Pinecrest Bakery - South Miami - Need more eggs or a smaller roll with decrease in price. The sandwich is all bread - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

Their cakes are to DIE FOR, as long as you don't go later in the night. They don't make new ones and the cakes get stale and taste like they're fermenting a bit. The sandwiches are good but the meat is always always cold, even though their sandwiches are toasted. The service is off and on, sometimes the employees are happy to take your order and sometimes they're not. Often I'm charged for something I didn't want/ upgraded to a more expensive size I didn't want which is frustrating. The tables are usually always dirty so we don't usually sit down. If you're looking for a quick smoothie or pastelito, this is the place tho! I highly recommend the guava and cheese pastelitos or any of the chocolate mousse cakes. read more

Came to this bakery to have breakfast on Christmas day and am pleased. Love the selection, not only on the fantastic menu, but on pastries all ocer the main counter.

If your in Miami visiting or a local, Pinecrest bakeries delivers good quality Cuban baked goods. Today I picked up some pastelitos de queso (cheese pastelitos), guava con queso (guava and cheese pastelitos, croquetas, pan cubano (loaf of Cuban bread), una tostado (Cuban toast), and a cafe con leche (Cuban version of a latte but better). Everything was warm and fresh. read more

Places like this make me proud to be a Miami local. A grab and go for all your Cuban favorites. Known for their sparkling chandeliers and fresh bakery, they have also mastered the classic croquetta. Get a box and try some new things. This is cheat day worthy. Don't forget a slice of Cuban bread to dip in your cafe con leche (you'll thank me later). P.S. they are open 24 hours. Croquettas all day everyday read more

The worst place. Ordered an Italian then 15min they say they are out of Italian salami. Why offer it can't make it. Don't go here. Takes so long and they can't even make what's on menu. Go to fast food you will get your food much quicker and actually get what you order. They should be ashamed to be in business. Biggest ripoff in miami. read more

Food is great, service is quick and friendly. One of my go to spots for pastries and good Cuban coffee

Don't waste your money and your time. Terrible service and food I tried as a take out and they got all the orders wrong . They don't honor their promotions and the staff is totally ignorant about any special offers even when published in their digital menus. On top of all that, they took over 30 minutes to prepare a couple of sandwiches. read more

Ordered a couple of items to be delivered for a friend and I and I was not very impressed by the food. Cafe con leche, the ham croquetas and the toast were on point but everything else was underwhelming. My breakfast order was scrambled eggs with onions, peppers and Swiss cheese, a side of ham, toast, cafe con leche and fries. The fries were never delivered and instead of getting a side of ham they added it to my eggs. I would have been ok with the ham situation if my I liked the scrambled eggs but the veggies felt super under cooked as if they had been added at the last minute. The only thing i ate from that meal was a third of my toast. The casera ham croquettes were pretty good. If i order again I would definitely like to compare them to the regular ones. I also ordered a croquetta casera of cod which by the way is one of my favorite croquette types of all time but this one fell short. There was just something that made these fish croquettes taste too fishy if that makes any sense. Not the good, "fresh out of the water" kind of fishy but the more like the "has that been out here too long/is it still good" kind of fishy and that is never a good feeling when you're eating seafood. Lastly, the one item i thought would be a hit was also a bit of a disappointment. I ordered a few colombian style empanadas and they were all super under cooked. They were still salvageable once I got home and baked them for a bit but if i had been grabbing one of these to eat them just as they were if i was on the go, i would have been highly disappointed. The place isn't terrible and they do have some good things. Maybe it was just that day or the person taking the order. I'll give them another chance eventually. read more

The food has zero taste. I ordered steak sandwiches and asked if I could change it for something else because it just tasted like a hard, unseasoned steak, and the manager refused and said that there was nothing wrong with the sandwiches because they season them every morning. I've never received service like this, I truly am astounded. Save yourself time, and money and go literally anywhere else. read more

Worst service do not go the staff talks among themselves they do not care about the customer the pastelitos are burned I will not return .

Not every Pinecrest Bakery is quite the same. I've found quite a bit of variety among them. I am one that loves to stop in for a quick cortadito or expresso after lunch. I find their locations conveniently located. The one on 67 Avenue seems to be very different from the one on US1. As far as the location on 67th, some of the issues were the following : you rarely found a place to sit; it's very busy at odd times of the day, but especially in the morning and at lunch; the ladies who prepare the sandwiches and coffee are friendly at times, but sometimes they barely acknowledge your existence. Their sandwiches can be very good when made with a little TLC but mediocre when not. Recently, I had a mediocre experience. I ordered the "Turkey BLT" it comes with tomatoes, bacon, onions, lettuce and cheese, on any bread you select. The first time I had that sandwich there I thought it was amazing. The bread was warm and crunchy, the cheese was melted, the tomatoes were fresh, the bacon was crispy and the turkey was tasty. It was simply perfect! So I had this delicious image in my mind when I came back the next time and was absolutely famished. But I did not have the same experience. The ingredients were fresh but they seemed to have all been thrown in haphazardly on top of each other. The sandwich was cold and kind of boring because it had not been placed on the sandwich press (like they usually do). I missed the warm cheesy bread and all the crispy, tasty flavors from the previous experience. I couldn't take an organized bite out of it because it was basically falling apart at the seams. So I ate it like a salad and left most of the bread. I guess they helped me with my diet. Today, I went to the location on US1 just to have a "cortadito." I found they had plenty of space, it was very clean, organized, and the staff was courteous and cheerful. Besides the pastries, sandwiches, croquettes, cakes and other goodies, you can buy wine at this location. They had a nice selection like: Kim Crawford, Meiomi, and other good ones. I haven't really ordered sandwiches or any real food at this location but I plan to come back and try them out. Hope it turns out to be a winner! read more

I'm the midst of the COVID 19 environment the ER nurses decided to return the love by supporting local businesses. As a group, we ordered breakfast for 10 nurses. When the food arrived, we were missing three meals. When we called the location on US1 and 67th Avenue, the staff was extremely rude and said we had to fend for ourselves and contact Uber Eats. When we asked for the name of the individual, who stated she was the manager, she hung up the phone. I asked her just to prepared the 3 meals and I would pick it up, and she said it was not possible. I have ordered from this place numerous times and always pay the extra service fee. I would never order from these crooks again. Thank you for leaving the nurses without their breakfast, and thank you for being so rude. read more

Every time I come here I am treated nicely even though I don't speak good Spanish. I never wait more than 15mins even with big orders. The food is always fresh. The cafe con leche is good but I feel as if it's mostly milk. The pan con tortilla is my favorite thing to order, always fresh. The bakery items I've tried are a hit or miss. Will return for the breakfast items soon! read more
