Gilbert's Bakery on Bird

Gilbert’s Bakery on Bird is one of those places that reminds you why local bakeries matter. From the moment you take the first bite, you can tell everything is made with care and experience. The croquetas were outstanding, perfectly crispy on the outside and tasteful on the inside, with rich flavor that wasn’t greasy or heavy. The guava and coconut pastry was a real highlight, nicely balanced, not overly sweet, and incredibly comforting with each bite. The chicken empanada was just as impressive, well seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right, with a flaky crust and a juicy, satisfying filling. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, the kind of food you crave when you want something familiar and done right. This is the definition of a classic Miami bakery that truly knows its craft. I honestly wish you would open a location in the Midwest, because I would be a regular without hesitation.

absolutely amazing. The flavor and texture were just perfect,fresh, light, and made with so much care. It’s not your typical heavy dessert; you can really taste the quality. I can only imagine how incredible everything else must be.

My birthday was a couple of days ago and I told my son for my 60th birthday. I wanted a delicious chocolate cake with mousse, we live in Sweetwater and he ordered it to be delivered. That was not an issue. My heart was set on having an amazing cake, especially coming from my son. It means the world to me, however, the cake was so dry that it was crumbling apart. The only thing that tasted good was the mouse in the filling. It was a disappointment. The cake was not fresh at all. Perhaps because it was delivered they Send old cakes to customers. I would recommend that your bakery should know that if you were going to be charging and Delivering cakes to your customers at this caliber, you will lose your customers

I was there on Father's day early morning,, I love going on special days , I got two media noche box, one square creamer bread box, croquetas box of 15 & two delicious French bread (best in Miami) total price: $$$$ La Familia loves it

Gilberts is definitely not what it used to be. The service was terrible, with one older lady at the register that takes for ever. I decided to stop by today as I hadn't been there in years. I bought 3 croquetas and 3 pastelitos. when eating my croqueta, I bit into something hard and pulled out of my mouth a wrapped up plastic. Seems they rolled the croquetas with platic wrapping. Ugh. No more, thank you.

Excellent atmosphere! The girls were awesome! Narvi ( Narváez) made me a delicious coffee, just perfect to continue my day) Gisele y Ana always friendly, giving you choices to eat something delicious! Thanks! Happy Valentine’s!

Today I bought some chicken menezier at your bakery on Bird Road and I was appalled when I saw the pastelitos and had my first bite. The quality of the product is horrible and so is the chicken filling. Gilbert’s has always been known for the high quality of the products but it is a shame that is not anymore. I have been a customer for years and I am very disappointed.

Among the worst empanadas I’ve had. Croquetas were embarrassing. Small menu, refused to make an iced coffee, overpriced. Don’t recommended. This is a picture of the beef empanada, does it look appetizing ?
