"Baked goods are an essential part of Cuban cuisine and there are bakeries scattered throughout every corner of Hialeah. Breadman has only been around since 2014, but it’s already one of the best Cuban bakeries in the entire city. Here you’ll find Cuban bread, croquetas, pastelitos, cakes, and their own spin on traditional desserts. Pastelitos are almost as essential to Cubans as croquetas, and Breadman makes their versions with guava or coconut, plus a Nutella pastelito that’s flaky and oozing with warm Nutella. If you go in the morning, the Cuban bread is still warm from the oven and you might want to get a loaf to-go just so your car will smell like Cuban bread for the next 24 hours. They also make very good sandwiches, like the SuperMeng, a shredded steak sandwich with two eggs, cheese, and grilled onions. While they leave some of the traditional desserts untouched (like the capuchino cakes or señoritas) they also craft some really creative (and delicious) versions. The Alabao, a flan topped with arroz con leche, is a combo so perfect it’ll have you questioning your loyalties to the classic flan de leche." - yuliet llanes
