Name something more 3-0-5 than Versailles Bakery... I'll wait. Located in the heart of Calle Ocho, Versailles is a fan-favorite among locals and tourists alike. What many don't know is the difference between Versailles's classic "ventanita" and Versailles Bakery. La ventanita (literal translation: the window) is exactly that: a window attached to the restaurant side of Versailles where you can order cafecito and quick bites like croquettas and pastelitos (pastries) from outside. Think: counter service. However, a few hundred feet east, is Versailles Bakery. A stand-apart bakery section where you can order the same items as the ventanita PLUS they have dessert items (like eclairs and señoritas and tarts) and sandwiches. AND they are fully air-conditioned with tables inside. #beatMiamiheat Versailles Bakery gives you the authentic flavors of Cuban breakfast and quick bites. I recommend this spot to everyone looking for something lighter than a full rice and beans meal (available on the restaurant side). PRO TIP: Order a cafe con leche to drink and a tostada for dipping (or dunking) purposes. 12/10. read more

I love Versailles, if you're looking for authentic Cuban pastries, croquetas, the best cortaditos with evaporated milk, and tasty sandwiches this is the place to go to. I've been coming here for years, whenever I'm in the area I stop by for un cafecito and croquetas. I personally enjoy the bakery more than the restaurant. It's cozier, not as loud, and everyone is very friendly. Thank you for never disappointing me, I love Versailles. read more

Everything was so yummy! The service was fast. I had the media noche which was yummy. Along with ham croquetas and ham and cheese empanada. Everything was fresh and ready fast. I defiantly recommend this spot. You can tell by the load of people that this spot is HOT! read more

I'm lucky enough to be able to walk to Versailles in less than ten minutes so I often find myself here when Cuban treats are calling my name! The bakery is like the deli counter. Grab a number and wait for it to be called in probably both English and Spanish. It's usually pretty crowded (especially on the weekends) with locals and tourists. During the weekday, you can sometimes walk in and out without having to even grab a number. It can be intimidating to a newbie but plenty of them successfully order everyday! My go-to choices are the croquetas de jamon (ham croquettes), tequeños (cheese sticks - sometimes with guava), medianoches (Cuban sandwich with egg yolk bread) and, of course, pastelitos de guayaba y queso (guava and cheese pastries)! Paired with a cortadito (Cuban coffee with a little milk) and I'm always more than satisfied. They also have a wide selection of desserts and my roommate loves the key lime pie (no translation needed)! The prices aren't super marked up like you think they could be at such an institution so you can get filled up on the cheap. The staff is friendly enough and used to people not speaking Spanish so more accommodating than some other Calle Ocho spots. If you can't walk, there is a tiny parking lot bordering the bakery, along with a bigger parking lot closer to the main restaurant. All in all, if you are just looking for some Cuban bakery staples, this is a great place that's not just for tourists! read more

This is a must-do when in Miami! Go early as they do sell out of things and they do get a line. The restaurant and the bakery are right next door to each other. Be sure to plan a visit to both for some truly authentic Cuban food and pastries. The carne empanadas and the torte were especially delicious! Oh, and do yourself a favor and grab a cafe con leche for the road. Make it a large. read more

The Versailles Bakery reminded me of a mini Porto's Bakery. They didn't have as many display cases, but they certainly had an adequate selection with lots of enticing goodies. I couldn't buy much since I was traveling and had just eaten, but I bought a couple of empanadas and croquettes for later. I would say they were pretty standard and good. You could get the same or perhaps better in L.A. read more

Located directly next door to the famous Versailles Restaurant, this required a visit after having lunch next door. Make sure to grab a number because they call out numbers based on order. But make sure to do so after you know what you want to order. It's a bit overwhelming because of the cases filled with so many sweet and savory yummies. I ended up having a guava pastry with a café con leche. Delicous, delicious, delicious! There are a small amount of tables here but they fill up fast so you can either get your items to go or stand at the counter along the wall. My only regret was not driving out of our way to pick up some goodies to bring back home. Next time.......... read more

To my surprise, I see no one has reviewed Versaille's Bakery, the adjacent place next to the legendary restaurant. I have been a faithful congregant to this establishment since I was in college, this place has set the bar for me for its petite desserts, croquettas, and mini-pastries. I love the bakery's attention to details when it comes to cake decoration. The place makes any foodie feel comfortable with its long expanse of glass displays filled with sweet desserts and pastries. Folks, Latinos and otherwise, keep this place humming with conversation. What sets this bakery apart from others in Miami is its night hours, it stays open almost as late as the restaurant. So 5 stars for a few reasons: 1) The mini-mousse cakes are to die for. I always try to get the tiramisu cake. Perfect for a girl who wants a taste but isn't tempted to gorge. But, oh wait, there's the flan...and the strawberry shortcake...and the napoleon cake slice...mmmm... 2) In the winter, Versailles Bakery makes its seasonal hot chocolate which is made from melted chocolate bars, super-velvety thick, perfect for dipping churros in. It puts Swiss Miss cocoa to shame! 3) Perfect late night meeting place for friends and dates, a local, sweeter alternative to Starbucks. read more

Wow, this place is amazing. When I vacation in Miami it is always the first place we go to for breakfast in the morning (beef / chicken empanadas for breakfast probably isn't the best but oh well). Their cafe con leche is delicious and I normally only drink iced coffee. The empanadas are cheap and crispy and delicious. The homemade fresh squeezed right in front of you orange juice is absolutely amazing and I honestly HATE orange juice. It is so good. Try this place and you will not be disappointed. EDIT: I just tried the tres leches and it was so delicious-- also very cheap. Yum. read more

I had one of the best croissants ever (plain). I was going to get a breakfast sandwich but they didn't have the one I wanted at 8:06am. I just got into town and this place is down the street. Everyone raving one yelp, how cheap it was, how all these things I don't eat were fabulous but it's a bakery so I assumed some things were good and they were. Mislabeled pear tart was good and plain croissant was great. Cafe con leche wasn't anything special maybe I ordered the wrong kind and should have gotten the evaporated milk kind. The four petit fruit tarts I got were nothing special. $15 and I left 15% tip for my to go order. My drink was $2.70 so I don't see why people Think the prices are great. They're reasonable but nothing to rave about. I was done my shift early at the hospital and heard lines were long so I went there straight - big mistake. I was 10 minutes early, finished doing something's in my car for 7 minutes. I saw a lady walk in so I did 30 seconds later and a staff member yelled at me in broken English, closed closed no open. Yo hablo Espanol and I asked what time they opened because I was confused. She said 8. I looked at my watch 7;57 and 43 seconds and just rolled my eyes and walked out. 90 seconds later two people walked in and I waited a few minutes, because god forbid if I stood in that store for an extra minute deciding what I wanted the ground would swallow the bakery whole. Idk why they're so rude. Maybe they didn't expect a clearly non Latin person to understand or speak Spanish or maybe me standing there looking at the food not bothering them at all offended them because 100 seconds is just too much for them to handle. They could have just ignored me, which they did until rubia freaked out. If she's ever having a medical issue I won't check my watch and make her count to 90. read more

I really wanted to love this place but sadly I didn't really like the Cuban coffee here. Maybe I ordered something wrong for me. Their pastries were good but too sweet for me. Just sharing my honest opinion read more

We went to Versailles Bakery on our visit to Miami on Sep 2, 2017. That was one week before hurricane Irma. The pastries and sweets are cute and not too big. We are fans of Cuban pastries (in Los Angeles we have Porto's bakery). The only problem is they don't speak English well, they speak Spanish. At that time, my daughter with her seldom used Spanish language learned from High School came to rescue. We bought a lot of good stuffs, croquettes, etc. and my husband tried the Cuban coffee. Great taste! They have 2 buildings on that street, one is the restaurant (it has the bakery kiosk, you order from outside) and the bakery (bigger store, you can go inside). read more

With Versailles Bakery, I have killed two birds with one stone. I came here originally intending to find only the restaurant, but there was apparently a bakery next door and I just thought it looked so tempting. I finally gave in and rushed to this bakery to buy some pastries while waiting for my order at the restaurant to arrive. Man, Little Havana is awesome. Multiple businesses working in tandem to serve great food. You can find such arrangements in other parts of the world, but at Versailles it truly feels special. Pretty much everything behind that glass case looks fresh and delectable. The labels are in Spanish and English; it should be obvious what most things are by either looking at them or the cognates. Nevertheless, they still had some stuff I had never seen before like masarreal. Even Google doesn't tell me what that is. Some of their work looked absolutely beautiful like their tartaleta fresa fruta which, sadly, I never got to try. And of course, they're a bakery so they have sandwiches with meat that you can buy to go in case you don't feel like waiting at the restaurant. Spanish does seem to be the primary language of operation here. The place is busy and they have you take a number before serving you. The line moves fast, though, and many numbers are often skipped. The numbers are called out... in Spanish, but Spanish numbers are largely intelligible to English speakers anyway and they display the numbers on a screen too. I communicated in English and had no difficulty with getting my point across. Their croquetas and empanadas were delicious! Also, their key lime pie was like a fantastic sour-flavored cheesecake that I'm glad I got to try in Florida. Highly recommended. read more

Customer service here is horrible . The worker I dealt with rolled her eyes and after I paid for my stuff she left them behind the counter as if I were suppose to walk behind there and get it myself I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing but it's rude . I wouldn't come back I'd give other places a shot. read more

Versailles is a must every time I'm in Miami. I came to the bakery to get some goodies to go as well as more coffee. Their Cuban coffee with milk is seriously the best I have ever had in my life. I also bought orange juice, it was very fresh. I've tried the guava pie, cheese rolls, plantain chips and potato balls. Everything is good. read more

This is still my favorite Cuban bakery - but the desserts can be a hit-or-miss. The guava cheesecake was a miss. The pan con churrasco oddly tastes like a Philly Cheesesteak. I cannot explain it. Most things here are good. It would be nice if they started making tortilla de platano/maduros for breakfast. read more

Back home in California, if you're wanting Cuban pastries you would go to a place called Portos. Well, after having pastries from this place, I can honestly say that Portos has nothing on this place. The Cafe Con Leche was so good too! We came back here a few times during our trip and each pastry we tried was just as good as the last. read more

We loved the cortadito and cafe con leche. The guava and cheese pastry was phenomenal as well. We got the above items and 2 ham croquettas for $6! Fantastic prices and very authentic cuban food! read more

Well I took a number for an ice cream. Waited 15 minutes. Then they started serving numbers after me. I mentioned to cashier. She asked girl to come right away. Waited another 5 minutes. It wasn't even busy. Service gets a zero. No idea whether food was good. One of Miami highlights down the drain. Back to Canada. read more

As a world traveler I'm use to tasting different foods from all cultures and must say, Versailles Bakery is the best bakery I've had the pleasure to like and enjoy everything in it. Sandwiches are delicious made with their homemade cuban bread, their croquetas cubana are the best I've tasted in America, their cafe cubano is done with a special foam which has no calories ;) and their soda selection is unique and not found everywhere. If you're a tourist you must try, please do not let the long locals lines scare you away, its well worth the wait. Usually, I have 'em pack for me 20 media-noches, croquetas, galletas, etc... They pack it well for you to take on your journey home. Been coming here for over 20 years and ooooo-la-la.... The best is the best. read more

Versailles Bakery - Best bakery in the entire USA, probably most popular too. Must taste - anything & everything is amazingly yummy like no other. - Bakeries Near Me - Miami, Florida

What can I say about this bakery that hasn't already been said? It has amazing food for amazing prices. I've been twice, once on each of my two visits to Miami, and I crave the guava and cheese pastries whenever I'm away. read more

For a tourist, like myself, a trip to Versailles Bakery is well worth. After eating a late (11pm) dinner at Versailles, we walked next door to sample the bakery, just take a peek. It was fairly crowded, even this late. In fact, we had to take a number (there were a dozen people ahead of us). With most of the signs not in English it was a challenge to distinguish what each item was, but all looked tasty. Ironically, the first two people who tried to wait on us didn't speak any English. Fortunately, one of the women on shift did and was delighted to talk to us and explain what the items were. It was a great cultural experience. And, all the pastries, coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice we ordered was excellent. Ever bite proved it was made in house. What shocked me most was the price. We ordered 3 pastries, a small coffee and homemade (while we waited) orange juice and it was roughly $5 and tasted way better than the pastries you'd get a Duncan Donuts, Starbucks, etc. If you're from out of town, I'd recommend a stop here. It's a close to Cuba as you can get without leaving Miami. read more

Making a stop at Versailles Bakery was definitely a good idea. On the outside, it doesn't look like much but you walk through the door, and it feels as though you are standing in a cafe in Cuba. Even though I've never been to Cuba, everything about Versailles Bakery felt 100% authentic. From the people working at the counter to the men sitting around the table in the back sipping coffee and discussing politics, it was really like I had been transported out of Miami. To eat, we ordered the dulce de leche tart, the chicken croquettes, and the Cubano sandwich. I loved everything but the croquettes which didn't empress me that much. However, the other three people that I was with loved them, so it was probably due to personal taste. To sum it up, Versailles Bakery is just the place to go if you're looking for some authentic Cuban food, and I am very happy we ventured into Little Havana and discovered this cafe. read more

Versailles is a famous Miami Cuban institution. This review is for the BAKERY, not the next door restaurant. The bakery has tons of classic Cuban pastries and drinks, including empanadas, pastelitos, croquettes, and Cuban coffee. Prices are cheap and the eats are tasty. Pay a visit if you want a baked good snack or some caffeine. read more

S.O.A.P. note is a progress note written by physicians. S=Subjective O=Objective A/P=Assessment & Plan. Thought would try this format out. S: When visiting or even living in Miami, Versailles is one of the mainstay places for Cuban cuisine, right on Calle Ocho. You got the tourist like me that speaks broken spanish attempting to order food, as well as your old timers reminiscing over cafe con leche. One great thing about this location is there is a cafe teeming with pastries connected to the restaurant. I loved that there was a huge selection of cakes, pastries, empanadas to choose from. Also enjoyed the cuban version of espresso called colada. O: Pulse 102 BP 120/80 Eyes- pupils dilated Mouth- wide open Heart- tachycardia A/P: Flaky meat filled empanadas and coladas are a must, and will reorder next time. May add a guava empanada and cake next visit. read more

See Versailles Review for First Half of this Story. Items Selected: Tres Leches Cake Dulce de Leche Flan Dulce de Leche Shortbread Rice Pudding Torrejas At this point settling an almost criminally underpriced $25 tab and making way to the bakery it was to a brief line managed by deli-style numbers that our party was greeted and with no less than forty options prime to tempt the sweet tooth a quintet of options were selected, the flavors of caramel and condensed milk figuring prominently in all but the syrup soaked Torrejas with every single pastry exemplary in its execution, the saturated tres leches cake and toothsome rice pudding particularly impressive while eggy flan could only be called textbook beneath a light layer of dulce de leche equally well utilized as filling to a shortbread cookie sandwich. read more

Not sure exactly what I was expecting, but I wasn't really that impressed. It's a small bakery next to the VERY highly reviewed Versailles restaurant which may be where I was confused. I wasn't hungry enough for a meal, but next time I'll be sure to get the full experience next door. Anyway, this is a good sized bakery with tons of baked goods and a lot of interesting Cuban items. I ordered a Café Con Leche of course and a Tres Leches Flan (made in house). The Café Con Leche was small for the price compared to the little hole-in-the-wall places I found elsewhere in Miami, it was good, but again, not as good as others I had during my trip...not even close really. The Tres Leches Flan was delicious and I'm not really a fan of flan (flan fan ha!), I just like anything that has anything to do with caramel. Had to pull out my Spanish-speaking charm to ask questions and order properly, but the lady behind the counter appreciated my efforts and responded with a smile and slow Spanish responses. I think I would come back next time after a meal at Versailles for another little treat, but I wouldn't go out of my way for JUST the bakery again. read more

Nice fresh pastries to choose from with an efficient staff packing away orders and ringing everyone up. I especially liked the guava and cheese pastry and the filling of their spinach quiche. However, the crust of the quiche was pretty sweet, which is unlike any other quiche I've had, where it's more savory. It didn't necessarily complement the filling very well. read more

Amazing place and good food. Must try if you are craving for nice Cuban cuisine. Loved it!

Best coffee I've ever had. Got a café con leche and a cortadito. The coffee's flavor was perfect, the size was good, and the best part was the price. Less than $6 for 3 coffees. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for good Cuban coffee. Wish I lived closer so I could stop by more often. There is a window you order from outside so it is very convenient to grab whatever you want and the line moves fast. Can't recommend this bakery enough. read more

ONE OF THE FEW PLACES THAT DO NOT OVERDOSE ON THE SALT IN THEIR CROQUETAS!!! You don't know how many times I've had a croqueta that was wayyyy too salty! Theirs are ginormous too compared to other places. They have tons of pastries and desserts to choose from. Don't leave without a pastelito de guayaba - the perfect amount of guava filling and flakey crust in my opinion! read more

I love this place and it is a MUST visit place when in Miami. My favorite is the guava and cheese pastry and they are oh so good. Also try the Iron Beer soda (not beer) as it is like creme soda mixed with black cherry and is refreshing. Parking can be a challenge as this place is always busy, but look for a spot in the back. read more

I didn't live until I met the wonderful little intravenous glucose drip that is Cuban coffee. But for real. I'm pretty sure I've been walking through life half asleep up to this point. Don't be disappointed when the fabulous ladies behind the counter give you your teeny tiny cup of caffeine. No need for a venti here. That little sucker packs a punch. But the sweetest little punch you could possibly imagine. Like if you got whacked by a 4'11" Cuban abuela wearing a floral print head scarf and smoking a Cohiba who then proceeds to shove delicious croquetas in your mouth... Who wouldn't want that? Speaking of croquetas, you should probably get some of those too. And pretty much every other pastry in that beautiful case of goodness. read more
