Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: July 8 | Eater LA
"When in Florida, I visited La Segunda Bakery, one of the region’s oldest spots in business since 1915; at the Seminole Heights location my feet were dusted with flour beneath massive fans while salsa music played and a team of workers prepared massive loaves of bread for wholesale and individual purchases. The display case showed traditional baked goods—cookies, bread rolls, coconut pastelitos, and creations stuffed with guava and cheese (labeled “guava cheese turnover” for mass appeal)—and the pastelito was massive, gorgeous, flaky, and made for enjoying with coffee next door at one of the area’s best coffee makers, Spaddy’s. Consuming the pastelito requires carving out about 30 minutes to savor it, and for fuller service and a bigger menu you can visit the bakery’s other three locations around Tampa and St. Petersburg." - Eater Staff
