Cuban Dulceria International Bakery

Our first time coming here, It was phenomenal and the ladies who work there are super kind and attentive. The customer service rocks and the food is incredible. I’m Cuban and I can tell you. It’s legit. ❤️I highly recommend it! Even my 3 year old who is picky loved it.

This place is so cute and it's run by two sisters who are very sweet. I'm not sure if there were more relatives there. I was a little nervous but they were so kind to me and allowed me to try their coffee since I am kind of caffeine sensitive. I cannot wait until I can go back to this place and enjoy it with a date. It's a cute little cozy place. I loved the atmosphere. It gave me a homely feel and its super family oriented and I love the vintage look of everything!

Thank you Rita! Amazing cuban pasties, so crispy! Appreciate you are sharing generational recipes and culinary skills. Must try Cheese and Guava pastries.

I was greeted with a warm welcome. Both staff members were very kind and informative. They recommended some good choices. I had the Cuban espresso! The Cuban sandwich. And most importantly, the tunnel. All were delicious. This place was recommended to me by one of my co-workers. And I recommended to all. Thank you for your customer service, your kindness, and generosity!

Super awesome family owned place. I fell in love with it. Took my mom there for 🥪 lunch . We had Cuban sandwiches and coffee and oh my ! It was so good! Unbelievable!!! I got two sandwiches to go for my son and for my dad : Adolis Garcia sandwiches to honor Texas Rangers becoming the World Champions . I highly recommend this place. You will love it .

Great bakery and very friendly people there. We got the following items. Meat pastry. It had a crispy and flaky exterior with savory meat inside. Very delicious. Came out nice and warm. Highly recommended. Cafe con Leche is one of their speciality drinks. Woke up me up for sure. Guava pastry and the pineapple pastry were both very delicious. Highly recommended place for some delicious baked goods.

Enjoyed my cuban coffee with guava n cheese empanada. small shop with cuban music. Will return.

I knew I recognize this place! Delicious food warm smiles and even better atmosphere. I had to have a Cuban and a pastry. It was 7 minutes and bottom line it was a very very tasty.

had 2 different style cuban sandwiches - yes, we choose mustard and pickle on ours - they ask you which we were pleased. Both offered a generous amount of meat and we love they make their own bread here. Tried Ironbeer - a cuban soft drink fun to try - very sweet and high calorie - a splurge. Also, know the plantain chips are bag chips not fresh made. The midnight came on special sweet bread they make, just flavorful not too sweet. Ybar had the mortadella on it which is unusual to find in DFW sandwich shops. Very pleasant atmosphere but realize small amount of tables inside - more outside if weather permits to sit and enjoy. Two sisters have been running the shop from their parents, very pleasant and helpful - kind to bring you a small sample if you ask or have to wait to receive your order. We enjoyed it and do not be in a hurry if you go - they cook everything fresh after order which we liked.

I was immediately taken aback and turned off when I went to use my own pen when signing the credit card receipt and the cashier said "the pandemic is over, Covid isn't a real thing anyway". Really??? I didn't even say anything to her, just used my own pen. I ordered a hot tea and my friend and I shared a chocolate pastry. The pastry was made well, but wasn't very sweet nor had much chocolate taste. I had to request a second tea bag as the first one had split and there was loose tea floating in my drink. I pointed it out to the cashier and she didn't offer me a new drink, I had to ask for another one. The second tea bag was also broken, but I inspected it before putting in the hot water so I held it where the loose tea wouldn't escape. The tea bags were clearly faulty. The shop is small and extremely overcrowded with tables and chairs. It was difficult to maneuver between the tables to get to one to sit at and I had to move another table over just to sit down. The workers were not too friendly. Sadly, I don't plan to visit again. I had great hopes for this place. But I didn't feel welcome there at all.

I went here to buy some Cuban bread. The lady behind the counter acted like I shouldn't be there and was not pleased to see me for a customer. On the other hand she was very friendly with the Cuban speaking customers.

It is a really busy place. We were lucky to get a table inside. There are only 4 tables inside and a couple of tables outside. You place the order on the counter where you can choose from a variety of sandwiches on the menu or the pastries displayed right there. They all look great! Get ready to have a hard time choosing it. They also have napoleons that is one of my favorite pastries. We call it "mil folhas" in Brazil. I ordered the Cuban sandwich and Brazilian gitano.

Walking to this cute hiddden gem will take you back in history!!! The service was amazing! Ordering took a little long but once you get to the register you see why they truly are attentive to each customer! The food was AMAZING very flavorful and fresh! Fair pricing!

This place is a gem. After being introduced to Cuban coffee and pastries in Miami we searched this place out and are so very happy about it. Excellent Cuban coffee, and their guava and cheese pastries are amazing. Hubby had a Cuban sandwich last time we visited and said it was excellent. They also sell small sandwich size rolls that are to die for. Crispy crunchy on the outside and soft like marshmallow in the middle. Unfortunately this trip their ac was out so they weren't baking any bread and I can't blame them. It's hot out here, 103 at 11 am! There is also a cute little patio on the front that I'm sure is awesome in fall/winter/spring in Texas, that translates to maybe October to March! Ha! Left a painted rock in the flower pot out front! The Ladies who own/run this establishment are authentic Cuban and you can really taste it in everything they do. We live a long way away in Arlington so not an easy trip but every now and then it's so worth it. I highly recommend you won't regret a visit.

A quaint Cuban bakery! The cafe con leche is simply divine - rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The coffee paired with their delectable pastries, and you have a match made in culinary heaven. The ambiance is cozy, with a touch of Cuban charm , photos, paintings and of course music adds to the overall experience. You'll feel like you've landed Cuba . You can enjoy inside or outside seating. The outdoor seating is shaded. I ordered a variety of pastries the (guava, con queso, guava, Royal Guava Masa Real de Guayaba and meat pastry )and a media, Noche sandwich, and Café con Leche. All of the pastries were perfectly crafted. The Media Noche Cuban sandwich had great flavor, but I was disappointed by the quality of the meat. While it was tasty, the meat fell short of expectations. The overall experience was decent, but improvements in meat quality would make it exceptional. The ham definitely needs an upgrade! The customer service was great. We

they should update their hours to 3:50 pm. tell me how i got here at 3:50, doors locked and she tells me they close at 4. when all over their door said 5, google said 5. despues le dicen cubanas y se ponen bravas

Been their customer for more than 15 years now. I always enjoy coming here and sending everyone I know to this beautiful cafe! The owners are lovely and always have kind words to say. Food is always amazing. Coffee is a must! We need more places like this in Dallas!!

We just popped in for their holiday samples and ended up sitting down for a Cuban, Ropa Vieja, and café cubanos. Oh, and left with a bag of freshly (yes!) baked Cuban bread, pastelitos of guava/cheese, meat, and ham/cheese. Croquettes were sold out. To the reviewer that gave one star and complained that products are not originated from this bakery, you are so sadly mistaken, and I don't understand what your reference is from. This tiny bakery has been in existence for decades, and the women that run it took the business over from their father, a well known and respected baker from Cuba. If you have a favorite item, then I recommend being there when they open their doors. Everything is made in-house, and very few bakeries in the metroplex offer or make traditional Cuban loaves, their bread is usually gone by 1pm - especially on Saturday. I adore the package of mini-loaves, and after all these years, I know that if I'm going to the bakery specifically for them, I better damn well be there before noon! Lesson: The later you wait in the day, the more likelihood your fav bread, pastry, or dessert will be gone. Why? BECAUSE THEY'RE BAKED IN-HOUSE IN SMALL BATCHES! PS- The carry-out catering options for parties are da bomb. Blanca reminds everyone to check 'em out for game day, parties, and any crowd gathering. And you MUST order a pernil (roast pork Cuban style with mojo/garlic sauce) for the holidays.

Why this place doesn't have a solid five stars is beyond me. I've been coming here for a few years now because my fiance is a sucker for the guava pastries, we usually order a few of those, some with cream cheese, a couple savory pastries, and a cream horn. Everything is always perfect, the pastry is flaky and buttery with the perfect amount of filling. The service is always fantastic, even on busy days and, listen, if you do find yourself waiting in line - consider yourself lucky because you get a few extra minutes to appreciate the ambience. Take the time to look around and appreciate the decor - the old photos, vintage trinkets, and the beautiful furniture. We came in October earlier this year and the place was decorated beautifully, literally felt like I stepped into the house from Practical Magic.

Cashier is rude . Croquetas are horrible (no flavor), microwave heated. No customer service ( very unfriendly- which is unusual- Cuban people are friendly).

this place is the BEST! i come here to buy pastries for my mom and abuela pretty frequently and they always have jupiña at a reasonable price too do i always make sure to pick some up as well. The ladies running the store are very nice to talk to as well.

The Cuban Sandwich was not what I expected,specially for the price too. There coffee was amazing. There pastries where fantastic.

This place was very nice, it's cute and cozy. The food is on another level! It taste like Miami! As autnethic as it can be. The service was good, the ladies were very nice. The coffee here is also very great!

Are there better Cuban Sandwiches in DFW? If there are I haven't found them! The sandwiches here are amazing! We had both a Cuban as well as a Media Noche and both were excellent. Such tasty bread and fresh pork. We also tried the stuffed potato ball which was great all on its own. In addition to the great sandwiches, there is also an array of great baked items. The Guava Cheese pastry was a standout and shouldn't be missed. The great pair of ladies behind the counter were very friendly and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Highly Reccommended if you are in the area.

Order ahead of time. First time stop at this location. It was closer to us going back home (central CA). The pastries were delicious, hot, and super fresh! Recommend to try everything!

What a cute little cafe and bakery this is. We stumbled upon it looking for cupcakes and the pastries were lovely. We had the guava pastry, caramel merengue, white cupcake and a dulce de leche cold pastry. My favorite was the guava pastry. We will definitely return for the coffee someday.

Back again :) this time popped in for lunch. Ordered the very popular $10 Cuban (El Cubano) Sandwich, a hot out-of-the-oven Guava and cheese pastry ($3.18) and the (very hot, made to order) cafe con leche ($4.62). [Overheard another guest state, "this is heavenly" when he tried his coffee (lol)]. Exactly. This is an amazing stop every time I'm fortunate to visit greater Dallas.

Awesome sandwich. The Media Noche was great.Great Service. Very cozy and home feel. Its definitely a mom and pop shop. The pastries go great with a Cafecito. Overall great vibe and a great Lunch.

Cuban in Miami! Que lindo! Delicioso! What a treat to find in the Metroplex! I will return!

OMG... Why have I not gone here earlier?!? Guava and cheese pastries?! Potatoe balls?! Cuban sandwiches?! Croquettes?!? Ummm... Yes get in my mouth now. Coming from LA, I can admit that I was spoiled by the amazing Cuban bakery out there called Porto's... It was one of the staples in the Valley for cheap, quality bakery items and eats. When I moved out here, I thought that I'd never find anything as good as that ever again. I was happily mistaken about that! Ambiance: Small cute family opened hole in the wall joint. Came on a Saturday around noon and it was packed already. Luckily I ordered ahead, but still had to wait a little. It's on the left side of a strip mall and the Yelp directions actually let me too the wrong area. Food: we order a bunch to go and it was all great! The most surprising part was that these were HUGE in comparison to the stuff we used to get at Porto's!! No complaints here :) + Potatoe balls / Papas rellenas: stuffed with meat and perfect big ol' balls of awesomeness that you'll want to put immediately into your mouth! (I definitely don't say that often) + Ham Croquettes: Large and in charge. Perfect creaminess and meatiness. + Guava and cheese pastry: It's a party in your mouth. Tasted exactly like Porto's but bigger. Nice and flaky and packed with filling. + Cheese pastry: This was different than Porto's, but still good. Covered in a ton of sugar but wasn't too sweet. + Medianoche sandwich: Bomb diggity. Stick one of those croquettes in it and it's even better! + Meat pastry: yum yum We ordered a lot, but for the quality and size it is definitely worth it. Well definitely be back!

I give the Cuban sandwich a 4 star but if I was rating the everything else it would be closer to a 3 overall. I got a Cuban and also 4 pastries that other reviewers said were worth it. The Cuban was probably the closet to being authentic that I've had since I was in Key Wear, Fl. The guava cheese pastry was really good, but it was cold and flakey, in a sitting on display too long type of way. The potato ball also just tasted like potluck food that's leftover. My husband tried the meat pastry, he said it was ok but the guava was best. They don't really have anything to have with the sandwich, no chips, French fries, fried yuca, nothing to really make it a meal. After I had my sandwich I was still a little hungry. This is a nice little snack place, but not somewhere you will be in danger of over eating.

Delicious sandwiches and pastries! Our favorites are the Cuban sandwich and the guava and cheese pastries!! Delicious! Make sure to call ahead if you need to order several at a time.

Cafe con leche here is soo good and strong!! We always try to stop by whenever we are in the area since we live about 40 mins away. It's a small family own business, so the service may not be the quickest. The sweet ladies try though. Their guava pastry is also very delicious. I have to stop myself from eating one too many. The guava paste tastes homemade and the pastry is light and airy.

Great food and great services. Seatings are limited and a bit crowded. Cuban sandwiches are great, definitely recommend this place if you want a great cuban sandwich.

I had the Cubano and several of their desserts. The family favorite was the caramel menuge.

We ordered through yelp (partnered with grubhub for delivery) one afternoon for a late lunch. We ordered a Cuban sandwich with their plantain chips, and several pastries. The packaging was super cute and the sandwich was still hot upon arrival. The pastries were really yummy (guava cheese, guava, & strawberry). We were less impressed with the cupcakes (vanilla and chocolate). Overall everything was really good and we will definitely be purchasing again in the near future. Maybe next time we will try some of their coffee options.

I really wanted to love this place, especially with all of the amazing reviews, but I was honestly just....underwhelmed? A number of people say it's comparable to Porto's, which I just so happened to be lucky enough to try a few weeks after my experience here, and I can't say I agree. We tried a number of things: cubano, potato ball, ham croquette, meat pastry, cheese pastry, guava & cheese pastry. I eat pretty salty and even I thought the meat was overly salty. My favorite thing was the potato ball, and that's probably because it's huge and the ratio of potato to meat filling is a little off, which in this case helped balance the saltiness. Even the cheese pastry leaned salty! Cubano and the guava & cheese pastry were pretty good. This is the kind of place where if I were in the area, I'd consider stopping by to pick up one or two things I know are good, but probably wouldn't pay another visit otherwise.

I can see why people like this Cuban bakery. I tasted a few items there and would recommend the following (in order): 1) Cafe con leche: Perfect mix of bold coffee, a dollop of milk, and sweetness. 2) Guava and cheese pastry: Honestly, guava and cheese should be the new peanut butter and jelly. Get this. 3) Papas Rellenas: Aka the stuffed potato ball filled with ground beef, tomato paste, and olives. The potato will fill you up. I especially enjoy anything with tomato paste and olives, so check this underrated treat out. 4) Cuban sandwich: Good ratio of bread, meat, pickles, and mustard. It won't blow your mind, but it will satisfy your craving. 5) Croquetta: My favorite Cuban snack, but not my favorite here. I thought the filling could've used had more spice (maybe cilantro?). Also, I like crispy breading with mine. Other things to consider: - Two tables exist outside for outdoor dining. - They have bathrooms - Reasonable prices Will go back if I ever am in the area again!

I really miss Porto's in California, but might have the next best thing here. This Cuban bakery has some great pastries and coffee that is seemingly in a pretty random location, but glad it's nearby for baked goods. You'll definitely want to grab a guava pastry - flaky puff pastry like crust, slightly sweet guava jam with just a little sweet cream cheese to compliment it is like the perfect turnover. If you want something a bit heartier, I recommend the fried potato ball, which basically is a spherical shepherd's pie, deep fried. It's heavy and hefty, but makes for great picnic food. I have to say though service can be a bit slow. The owners are certainly friendly enough but waiting 30 minutes with just one person ahead of you in line feels bad (and their order wasn't THAT big).

The tag line for this bakery may as well be 'bread and *so much more*' because this place serves up its tasty treats with the type of tender, love, and care that could run circles around every warm and fuzzy home-baking family experience you've ever had. I came in on a Thursday and there was one other customer ahead of me which gave me a chance to marvel at their unique décor. With it being right before Halloween, they pulled out all the bells and whistles to cover every surface with cute pumpkins, pictures, and trinkets for the upcoming holiday, while still keeping a traditional Cuban touch/ flare to what they had up around the store. When I got up to order, I opted for the guava pastry and Cafecito. The tartness of the Cafecito paired with the perfect light, flakiness and evenly spread semi-sweet guava made my mouth burst with contentment in a way that I never knew that it could... needless to say, if you're in the area, this spot is *the* spot to try to fulfill all your pastry dreams. I can't wait to come back!

Not authentic food! Over priced and does not meet food quality. We tried to purchase Cuban bread and they were sold out, but the Cuban sandwiches were still being sold- Cuban bread is needed to make the sandwich! No croquetas available- yet this is another Cuban staple at a bakery...only one person at register serving everyone and one cook....I understand being short staff but the customer service was lacking.

Love the pasteles. Will be back to get more and some Cuban bread the sandwiches are good too.

We ordered a Cuban Coffee, a couple Cuban Sandwiches, and a few pastries. Everything was amazing! The coffee strong and tasty. The sandwiches hot off the grill, reminded me of what I missed in Miami. The pastries light and flaky and sweet and yummy. This is a place you return time and time again. Which, based on how everyone talked to each other on a Saturday afternoon must be what happens here. We felt like everyone must be a regular, another sign this is a great place.

My SO lived in Miami and dreams of the Cuban sandwiches. This place was voted the best in D. Decided to give it a chance. The Cuban Sammies are amazing. They are cooked perfectly and the bread was delicious and crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The desserts we tried: Dulce cupcake, caramel meringue, and pineapple pastry were all totally worth the calories. Definitely going to come back with the family but there's only 4 tables in the place.

This cute little cafe!! AWSOME coffee! AWSOME service, AWSOME guava pastry. If u are close u must try it!!!

Food is delicious, the service is great. The crowded spaces are uncomfortable and in my opinion unsafe.

Upon entry, the store front gave an old homey feeling. Ordered the Cuban Sandwich and Cafe Cubano. Both were a very pleasant surprise. The coffee was sweet, but perfect for indulging and slowly starting up your morning. Cuban sandwich was nicely toasted with a crispy outer layer. They also have a lot of bakeries that look delicious. So glad to have found this gem! There weren't many people when we got here, but it got busy really quick, but there were other staffs who came to help. The woman who helped us is very nice.

This place is amazing and the spot is an absolute gem. I was craving sandwiches and was in the area so decided on going here. I've never had Cuban coffee before and it was definitely revolting. I had the cortadito, cafe de leche as well as the ropa vieja sandwich, which were all great. It definitely hit a spot I never knew I had.

Cubano sandwich wasn't bad but service is horrible. Frankly I make a better Cubano. All signage says they close at 5pm but they will put you out at 4. No ice available. I was going to order items to go, but changed my mind after experiencing the "service " Won't be back. And it seems from the reviews that I'm not alone in that.

Omg!!!!! Amazing delicious guava and cheese pastry I died!!! It's so cozy in here I also ordered the cafe con leche Omg heaven!! Go here now!!!

I was craving their guava and cheese pastries today after yoga so I stopped in for a fix. The place was empty as I expected on a Wednesday morning at 10:30am. There was one person in line before me and only one lady working the register. I could tell the woman in front of me became annoyed, with waiting for her order to be put together because the cashier was preoccupied and on the phone (I can only assume she was taking orders?) I waited patiently as two more customers walked in. When it was my turn, I ordered my usual guava & cheese pastry, a cheese pastry and Cuban coffee (the best here!). The pastries were excellent as always, fresh, flaky and delicious. The coffee was fresh and strong. I then waited to the side while she took the other two customers' orders. I waited for an unusually long time before I finally was able to leave work my order. I'm giving them a four star rating today because it's apparent that they should have more staff on hand to keep their customers, new and old, happy with the service here.

Wanted something that was as good as Porto's in So Cal. I was supposed that this is pretty close. Not as good as close enough. The ladies the were super friendly and helpful. They have some great suggestions and advice. Had the meat pie, potato ball, cheese roll and the guava and cheese roll. The last one was my fav but all of them were good. I love that the meat filling is very flavorful. Not bland at all. So glad to find an authentic Cuban bakery

Such a great gem, I love coming here for the guava pastries and the Cubano Sandwiches. They are so tasty and delicious every time. Oh and don't forget the Cafecito. So amazing.

The food is so yummy here . We would have took pictures but we ate it so fast . This place is family owned . Authentic, they were so nice to me and my family and accommodating to my 2 year old twins . We had the Cuban sandwich mustard and pickles. Yummy ! Even my two year olds ate it and they are picky . The ham croquettes were delicious and full of meat. We had to go back for more . Think we ordered 6 in total for the table . The guava and cheese pastry was delicious, flaky with the perfect amount of Guava and cheese . The flavor of the stuffed potatoes was good. My husband had a cafocito and I had the cafe con leche . Both were freshly made to order, coffee quality very good . Second time here we will be back. We are from South Fl and miss authentic Cuban cuisine greatly , this hits the mark . The decor was great too ! Love the picture of the grandparents behind the counter.

Doesn't look like much when you walk past, but best place to get the first glimpse of cuban cuisine. Lot of pastry options & guava one is only available here.Th signature Cuban sandwich & Cuban cafe was unique. Lot more to try in next visit..

Friendly owners, great food and atmosphere. A cultural experience. Don't forget to order some of the best coffee around!

This place is so authentic and so good! We live almost an hour away so when any family member goes, they get orders of what everybody else wants! Croquetas are my favorite, pastelitos just like Miami and the cafe and medianoches are legit!
