Empanada Harry's Bakery and Cafe is a great example of a family owned business with quality, deliciousness, thoughtfulness and wonderful values at is core. Harry, his wife Michelle and staff are amazing!
This wonderful cafe is located in a shopping plaza in the West Kendale Lakes area with plenty of parking. The moment my girlfriend and I stepped inside, we were welcomed by the staff and felt right at home. The cafe decor is charming, modern and everything was spotless! You can smell the fresh bread, empanadas and yumminess. Definitely gets the salivary glands going LOL. They have so many empanada options! The full spectrum of sweet and savory with variations from all over Latin America. They also have delicious coffee, hot sandwiches and wonderful pastries. It is amazing how one kitchen can pump out so many different options. Thank goodness the staff was super helpful with offering recommendations and popular favorites because I was overwhelmed with all the goodness that was staring at me.
Harry offers an "empanada of the month" where he experiments with different flavors. The month I went it was the Paella Negra Empanada paired with a garlic aioli. So freaking good! We also tried the guava and goat cheese, pepperoni pizza, sweet bacon, cubano, dulce leche and banana and chipotle chicken empandas. All were full of flavor, fresh, crunchy and overall just heavenly. In addition, we tried the cachitos, pan de bono and tequenos! Yeah I know.....we went all out. We didn't stop there though. We soon went back another day and tried Harry's Cubano and choripan sandwiches, both were so tasty and mouthwatering. We also tried their new Reuben empanada, so gooood.
Then we came back for his bbq! For the moment Harry does this on the weekends but not EVERY weekend, so follow him on instagram to find out when it is available and for updates. Just a word of advice, it is the best bbq I've had in a while so they always sell out! I would call and order days in advance if you want all the different bbq options.
I highly recommend Harry's for all your empanada and great food needs. So please pay them a visit! I will end my review with this......do not leave without trying his award winning flor de Cana tres leche. If you like tres leche, you will leave happy and satisfied. Thank you for reading!
