I used to love Gilbert’s Bakery when it first opened; it had such a great reputation and amazing food. I hadn't been there in years, so I was excited to stop by today and picked up a variety of items. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with the quality. The only thing that stood out in a good way was the chicken empanada. Everything else was mediocre at best. The croquetas were overpriced and not tasty, the pastelitos de guayaba had a strange flavor and just weren't good, and the sandwiches were bland. The carne fría, in particular, seemed old and not fresh. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and it’s clear that the quality has gone down over the years. Any Cuban bakery in Miami can provide better and tastier items at a better price.
