La Especial Bakery - Review - Wynwood - Miami - The Infatuation

"La Especial is one of the last remnants of a Wynwood before PayByPhone. The Cuban cafeteria has been making chuletas, pan con bistec, and crispy chicken wings for over twenty years—at prices that feel just as frozen in time (a plate of six crispy wings and fries costs $7). The staff here will lend you an umbrella if it starts to rain and let you sample the lemonade first to make sure the sugar level is to your liking. It’s no wonder this place has managed to stick around for so long. They make affordable, comforting food, take care of their customers, and have resisted the comical levels of development happening south of NW 29th Street." - Mariana Trabanino

friendly staff, good customer service, quality and attitude... the breakfast combo is plenty for a grown man but if the price go higher doesn't work against the other offers in the area. And that's a perfect example that u don't need an expensive place to have a great start of your day! pls keep the good work. The place can be improved and make it more comfortable for clients and staff, that motivates to spend more and relax. They’re gonna do it eventually cus the area is developing.

My husband told me about this place when he's on route he would order the chicken soup. Which was good at first after I would order on the Uber app! The first couple of time I used the Uber eats app. Ordered a steak sandwich a few times but the last I ordered the steak sandwich was horrible.. The sandwich wasn't made right I asked for cheese that's extra because it doesn't come with cheese. The sandwich was very soggy horrible when you pay your Dollars you expect good results. This make customers to put in bad reviews!!!

Breakfast here is great, especially for the price and especially on Uber eats. The cuban bread an butter is delicious, the eggs are good and the bacon is delicious as well. Their oj is fresh and natural. I also have had the chicken sandwich, which I would suggest to get without the onions.

Good hearty food for a low price and they do take out and pack it very well. Cache con Leche comes leak proofed and all food tastes fresh. I like how they use the traditional brown bags for the food as well

This is probably the worst experience I’ve ever had at a place like this. The staff was extremely rude when ordering, walked away after I ordered one sandwich and when I said I had a few more things to order this lady was super rude about it and then walked away to go laugh with her other colleague. I sat at the counter for 5 minutes watching them with other customers and doing chores around the place before I asked whether or not I pay after, she just said after and went along doing her thing. The meat from my sandwich was placed on a wet plastic tray where they also placed the pork from the other sandwich and whatever else they were making other sandwiches with. I had to ask for a receipt too to make sure I wasn’t overcharged. This place is dirty and I don’t know what the young lady’s problems are at the front. I suggest going to Enriqueta close by for much better service and food.

Local eater in my neighbor hood. I eat here often but as of lately the customer service is horrible. I walked in this morning and stood at the counter, wait like I usually do for someone to service me. I stood there for at least 5 minutes with out being acknowledge, or even spoken to. I waited patiently only for everyone that was busy to finish the task and completely ignored me at this moment I asked if anyone seen me one of the customers that realize I was standing there for a while started calling the owner. He didn’t look up and said, what do you want? I said I’ve been standing here for a minute. No one has asked me what do I need or even say good morning I seem like he was having a bad day but I don’t care if I’m having a bad day I still have to pay for my purchase so he doesn’t get to have that customer service. I won’t be returning here. Horrible Customer Service don’t eat here.

The food, service and waitresses were excellent. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. And the cost is inexpensive.

The real deal. Authentic food and served with authentic niceness. Prices are great. I had pork chops, yellow rice, black beans, sweet fried bananas, and vegetables. So good!

The best! I come here all the time with my husband and his family for breakfast. They're hardworking friendly people and make delicious food. We order the breakfast special - cafe con leche, cuban toast, fried ham, 2 fried eggs, and french fries for only $7. Huge portion cannot beat it. They serve lunch which changes daily. My husband and his coworkers stop by here to order sandwiches too.

Found this place by accident when trying to find another restaurant, and omg so glad I did! The food was soooo fresh and authentic. We shared a media noche sandwich which was a decent size, pastelitos and the croquetas were TO DIE FOR. This is definitely a hidden gem in the DT area! Will be coming back here for more and more and more. Overall 5 stars for service, quality and pricing!

Hidden gem! Reminds me of traditional Latin American food. Café con leche is a must. I will be back

The meat pastelitos were the nastiest i've ever tasted in my entire life. Wow. It smelled like something died. I don't know if they put leftover or uncooked beef in there but it honestly should be discontinued or the chef should be fired. That was disgusting . I'm not ordering a thing from here. That was traumatic.

Very good spot. Good priced and big sizes. I wish their empanadas would be baked rather than deep fried but it is a matter of choice I guess. I got chicken with 2 sides and it was delicious.

Delicious! Friend recommended this place for its Cuban sandwich! And let me say worth it!! Small spot you wouldn't think twice about it. But worth it. Very old school Hispanic type place. Always full of people.

Came in here for a quick Breakfast early morning and received quick and friendly Service. Please note this is a simple latin Bakery & cafeteria. They also offer food by the pound as well as the breakfast and lunch specials.

This place is truly especial! One would imagine great Cuban bites would be more readily available in DT Miami but thank goodness for this gem! The pastry's are perfectly baked and fresh even when receiving my order through delivery service. The breakfast sandwich also left us so satisfied (and came in a combo with Café con leche!). If you're looking for something authentic definitely give this place a try. Keep it up especial Café!

I can't believe this place doesn't have any reviews. This is my favorite Cuban bakery. It's cheap and good and the staff is incredible. I highly recommend it if you're in the area. Exquisito in Little Havana gets "best bakery" but I hate the place. The staff is always sour. Here they make it a point to remember you and say hello when ever you come in even if they aren't the person taking care of you.

Double check your receipt. The food is good but the ladies always changing the prices and adding extra fees. One day my food was $5 then when I paid it went to $7 something and then the next day the same food was $6 and then was charged $8 something. I complained and when I went to pick up the food the lady was very rude towards me every time I went. I spoke to a manager and nothing was done. If you go here please double check your receipt for price changes and extra fees.
