"Ricky Bakery (not to be confused with Vicky Bakery) is a Cuban bakery with four locations across Miami. At their Coral Way shop, five deli cases filled with pastries and cakes snake around the space. But what you should be prioritizing here are pastelitos—Ricky makes our favorite one in town. It’s a perfect example of what we think makes a classic Miami pastelito. It has a balance of tangy cream cheese and guava paste that’s more tart than sweet—instead, the sweetness comes from the glaze. Most pastelitos around town are just glazed on top, but Ricky brushes both sides with a thin layer of syrup. Genius. photo credit: CLEVELAND JENNINGS / @EATTHECANVASLLC" - Virginia Otazo
