The Miami Pastelito Power Rankings

"Hats off to Cakeland for not only making the best croquetas in Miami, but also the second-best pastelito. Their guayaba y queso is airy with lots of volume and guava that wraps around a cheesy center. It’s a timeless classic. But if you’re going to order just one pastelito here, prioritize their pastelito de carne. We tried to only consider guava versions for this guide, but Cakeland’s carne is too good to ignore. It’s filled with tons of ground beef surrounded by more golden layers than a pile of autumn leaves—and just as much crunch. " - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer

The Best Croquetas In Miami, Ranked

"Price Per Croqueta: $1.50 From the outside, it looks like your typical jamon croqueta. But take a bite and you’ll be overwhelmed with how simultaneously fluffy and crispy it is. Each is filled with little bits of parsley and pink ham that looks whipped. The masa is remarkably buttery, but not enough to overpower the slightly sweet ham. And they taste homemade because they are—apparently by a nice man named David, which we were told by an employee who noticed us taking detailed notes after each bite. After an entire month of eating our way through almost 50 croquetas all over Miami, the only one we still craved was Cakeland’s. " - virginia otazo

Cakeland Bakery Review - West Kendall - Miami - The Infatuation

"This small Cuban bakery is so far west, you might accidentally end up wading through Everglades sawgrass if you miss a turn. But if you’re looking for Miami’s best croquetas and cuban bread, you need to find this place. A strong knock on the outside of their bread will send your confused dog running to the door. The outside is sturdy enough to play sword fights, but the inside is pure fluff (and you can actually taste the lard). We also officially named Cakeland’s croqueta the best in the county, and no one’s beef pastelito comes close either. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc" - Virginia Otazo

Where to Find Miami’s Best Croquetas | Eater Miami

"This West Kendall gem for pastelitos and croquetas serves up a mean croqueta de la casa with a slightly sweet twist that pairs well with a squeeze of lime juice and a soda cracker. Try it with a cortadito or Materva for the perfect Cuban merienda (afternoon snack)." - Stacy Moya

I have been visiting this bakery for 2 years, amazing place and amazing staff with the exception of a blonde female in her 50’ . I have asked her 3 times for a scramble eggs and she always comes with and actitud and pretexts “ ex: the stuff is broken, there is no eggs or the kitchen is close” . It is very sad that i decided not to go to this place anymore just because this unpleasant and unprofessional person. In addition im not trying to bring down this bakery because the owners are a very kindly persons but to address what is really happening in their back.

Went to order 2 steak sandwiches and was told at 3:55 pm that they close at 5 and can no longer offer that service. Well real bad for a business that had no one inside. Drove 30 min to eat at this bakery.

BEWARE. I was enjoying my croqueta when I noticed a hair literally stuck inside of it. Not sure if the employees arent wearing hair nets or what but HUGE health hazard.

Come here for the croquettes, the coffee, and the sandwiches and you won't be disappointed. The service is great too. They're on a mission to get your served and put a smile on your face, at least that's how I've felt the last 3 times I've been here. It's a little out of the way, and I was disappointed that they didn't have bacalao (salt cod) croquettes. Other than that, they've got a return customer in me. By far, the standout croquette for me was the ham. They also have chorizo and cheese croquettes, and all have a tangy taste in them that I'm guessing comes from the addition of vinegar in the recipe. It really works. Also worth mentioning is their "Pasta de Bocadito," which is a delicious ham paste that makes an incredible sandwich. They also sell the sandwiches with the spread in them, but I recommend that you take home some of the paste or you'll regret not having done that. The last time I was here I had a torreja--it's essentially a French toast like bread drenched in a delicious syrup. Don't have more than one or you'll accidentally slip into a coma.

Today I bought 4 Cuban sandwiches, a box of croquetas, a box of assorted pastelitos, and a Cuban bread. I invited American friends for a Cuban brunch. They were looking forward to having an authentic Cuban sandwich. I was totally embarrassed!! The Cuban sandwich was more like a mushy ham and cheese. The pork was a mission to find. Everything was horrible!! I will never buy from them again! Frankly the worst. This bakery should not be allowed to sell this sandwich as a "Cuban" sandwich.

I've been going here almost every weekend for coffee and the pizza pastries. But today service and the person who helped me was everywhere but where they needed to be. This is the food I waited for 20 mins. Not only was it not hot, the cheese wasn't melted and it was messy and not done correctly. I asked for someone who had been there longer but no one would and they gave me the new lady who didn't know much. This is not worth it at all. I'd recommend anywhere but here. The manager was nice but condescending in tone and honestly I never write reviews. But I just felt so pushed around. I don't even wanna eat the food I pay for.

This is my favorite bakery in West Kendall, everything I have tried is delish. The meat, guava, cheese pastries are the best. The Cuban bread and pan polaco is nice and soft. You feel like you are in family when you go here because they are so welcoming and treat everyone so sweet. And please try the brazo gitano it's the best Cuban dessert! Look at the pics :)

Came in this afternoon for a little treat before my son's class. After seeing all the other reviews I feel totally bad for my 3 stars but I'm sorry, I've seen nicer bakeries and I've had better service and food. Perhaps I have to come again and next time do it earlier in the day? Place wasn't the cleanest and people weren't the nicest. Again, maybe it was the time of day I came (late afternoon, 6 pm) that's differentiating my experience from everybody else who's reviewed this bakery. Ordered some pastelitos, cafe con leche, piece of cake and a toast. The cheese pastelito was indeed delicious and I'd definitely have those again when I'm back. The cafe con leche was good but I wanted it a bit darker. What disappointed me most was the toast...bread felt dry, barely had any butter and wasn't toasty enough. Total meh for me, especially because I'm a bread fanatic and love a good cuban toast. I'll give them another try since I'll be more in this area some afternoons.

It was a last minute decision and ordered a birthday cake here recently. What a yummy delicious chocolate and covered with meringue frosting. My whole family was very impressed and keep asking where I got it. So it was a winner and so glad to find a place with very helpful and friendly employees. Will never look for another bakery around my area but this place:)

It's hard to chose an item to start talking about this gem. Saying that everything I got so far has been fantastic will be an understatement, the pastelitos, bocaditos, sándwiches, papas rellenas, pan cubano, croquetas, café con leche, all the deserts are always fresh and are delicious. The place is not too big but you don't feel crowded, always clean, with (so much needed in this city) friendly people behind the counter and the quality of their products are superb. Can't wait to go back to stock up on pastelitos and croquetas for breakfast this weekend!

We drive from Homestead to Cakeland... We haven't had a better pastelito or croqueta anywhere else in Miami. Even my Abuela (que descanse en paz) would tell me when she wanted a pastelito or Croqueta de la casa "Aye que ir al lugar ese lejo... esas croquetas son hasta mejores que las que hago yo" And seriously, it's true. They're better than the ones she used to make. And let's be real... no one cooks better than our Cuban grandmothers. Anyways. For me it's more about the pastelitos... and they're effing amazing. Better than anywhere else. Honest to god.

THIS PLACE HAS THE *BEST* GUAVA PASTELITOS IN ALL OF WEST KENDALL HANDS DOWN !!! - I come here almost every morning for a colada and pastelito and I've literally tried every local bakery in my area only to be disappointed at the difference in taste when compared to Cakeland's! Most places use a very fake-tasting stale paste and call it "guava" but Cakeland seems to use the best quality guava paste that's soft and melted nicely. --- also the staff is awesome too! #Grateful

Were have all the GOOD BAKERIES GONE! They are here in West Kendall. I come in here after I eat at Steves Pizza all the time for coffee and some desert to take home. Service is always good and they are always attentive to me. From Flan Cheese cake to the big pre bagged Lady Fingers, I have tried them all. This is one of the places I like to come and listen to the conversation of west Kendall. It is always nice to find a good bakery in town and after awhile people learn your name.

This place never disappoints. The pastelitos are sweet with crusts that do not flake off in an impossibly messy manner. I really like the pastelitos de queso here better than anywhere else in the city as they aren't coated with sugar on top and don't just crumble on you. I'd suggest hitting this place earlier in the day although they do bake throughout the day. If you're going to a party on Miami's West end I suggest you stop by here for a platter or two of their finger foods.

Don't bother going anywhere else for Cuban pastries because you won't find anything better than Cakeland. They staff is very friendly as is the owner. Everything is fresh and delicious. It's a typical Cuban bakery with all its charm.

the best pastries in Miami can be found here at Cakeland Bakery, extreme quality in all its products always fresh at all times of the day the best Cuban bread !!! Cake pizzas the best total cleaning!

Worst Bakery in Miami so far. This place was extremely dirty, food was cold and under cooked. Also, they just kicked people out at 2:55PM on a Sunday and started to clean when supposedly they work until 3:00PM. They used a cart from Sedano's (next door store) to hold the doors, extremely unrespectful people. If you are in town, I would recommend other chains as Pinecrest Bakery or Party Cake which are all over the city and the food/service is excellent.

Staff was nice. Location is very clean and inviting. Prices were competitive. Glad to have one closer to home now. I ordered a tequeño and small tray of sandwiches for. gathering, both good. I will be back to try pastries etc at another time. I also liked the fact that they accepted credit cards for $8 bill. Usually, most bakeries have a minimum which is a pain.

This is the best Cuban bakery in Miami!! Excellent food and service. The staff is very friendly and they always please you. The bakery is in a great location and it's always very clean!! During Hurricane Irma, this was one of a few places open in town. The owners are very hardworking and always are there!!My favorite food in the bakery is the cafe con leche with a side of ham croquetas. When I walk in I always get this friendly vibe and that's what I love about this bakery.(also the pastelitos de guava)!! I encourage you to come to this bakery!!!

Love this place ! The pan de Bono is very good and so is el pan con lechon. I have practically tried everything there....lol no regrets. It's very fresh but they run out of things fast so maybe you'll have to wait until they finish making a new pastry if you want. Very yummy I highly recommend !

Excellent local cuban bakery. Owners and staff are friendly and attentive. All food is made fresh daily. Great place when you need to grab something quick on the way to work. Even better when you need to provide food to clients as a thank you. All my clients love when I bring food from here. As for parties, if you want authentic cuban pasteries, there is no other place to go than Cakeland Bakery. Items I would recommend: croquetas de la casa and pizza pastel.

West Kendall's best bakery. Great location, staff is friendly and very efficient in getting customers in and out. The pastries are fire!!!! The pizza pastel is straight fire! The desserts are great, from classic Cuban ones to types of desserts. Location gets very busy during the morning. Cuban bread is really good and they churn out a lot of them as its one of the top sellers here (as any Cuban bakery lol) overall if you live in the area come check this family run business you won't be disappointed
