La Segunda Central Bakery

Fantastic Cuban bakery with fresh baked everything! Beautiful bread and pastries. The Cuban sandwich was just perfect with plenty of topping! The guava pastry and croquettes were both good but the bread and sandwich are next level delicious. Very reasonable prices especially for fresh baked goods. Come support a local business and pillar of the community. Plenty of parking and quick service. No seating so plan to take your goodies home or to a nearby park.

BIG TRASH. Let me start by saying I love the history of Tampa and how there are many restaurants that have existed for years. La Segunda on 15th st in Tampa is one of these places. I have lived in Tampa for over a decade and have always driven by this place and there always seemed to be a line. So I figured, ok they must be good. So I stopped this morning. Boy was I wrong! Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. I dont know. I ordered the deviled crab and the Avocado and egg sandwich. It came to almost $18.00. RED FLAG number one. I love Deviled crabs and I noticed there are a few places in Tampa that prepare these and all of these places prepare them differently. Obviously. Well La Segunda does not have these well prepared. No crab at all, see attached photo, and no taste. The food item outside of the crab, not sure what is was, was mushy with no taste. Im telling you, it was absolutely disgusting and I was beyond annoyed. For real. This is the most disgusting thing I have had in a long time. SMH Next. the sandwich, which by the way I could have prepared at home, was also trash. No flavor, everything bland. I think they add the tomato to add flavor, but it did not. For the prices they charge, I expect better. I still have the taste in my mouth and am so mad. Please, am I missing something? Why does this place have a high rating? Was it just a bad day when I visited this morning? Why is there such a line out the door? Did I order the wrong thing? Even though the service and the vibe was good, nothing can make up for this horrible, horrible food. I wish I could get a refund. I am soooo mad. Okay it has been a couple of hours and I still have the taste in my mouth. I have tried everything and it will not go away. Trust me, stay away from the food here. Do not waste your time, money and taste buds. It will ruin your palate. This experience ruined my whole morning. UGGHHHHHH

I have been eating their bread at some events but it was my first time to actually go to their store this week and I was really delighted! Not only do they sell wonderful bread and pastries - La Segunda Bakery is also a living historical gem! I’ll go there more from now on!

I have been dying to try this place, ever since I heard this is where the most authentic Cuban bread is from. I mean, if other restaurants get their Cuban bread from here then you know it must be official! Well, it was! There was a long line when I pulled up around noon on a weekday. There were so many tasty looking options that all looked and sounded amazing. I ended up getting a breakfast sandwich, Cuban sandwich, and a friggin' 36" Cuban bread loaf! Everything tasting great....plain and simple. When you wake up the next day crazing more, then you know this is where it's at!

This place has so many options! This location is smaller than the St Pete location. No place to sit down and enjoy there at cafe. This is a bakery to pick up orders and take with you. Quick service even though was busy. Lots of options to choose from. Beautiful display case with labeled prices. Cafe con leche and espresso were delicious too. Parking is streetside or a small parking lot. Thank you

This is a Cuban like no other. We read about La Segunda in Tampa Bay Magazine, which awarded La Segunda with the tie for best Cuban sandwich. As we drove up we noticed two things, the first being where the heck do we park and the second that numerous people had walked blocks to get there and were passing us on the street with their treasures. We had to circle around the block a couple of times to find the parking spot. We discovered later that there is a vacant grass lot across the street that we could have used. Parking aside, this place is a destination. People line up for this food for good reason. It is amazing. If you have ever only had a Cuban from Publix.... You have not had a Cuban. The only thing that can make this place better is a little bit better organization. Being a first-time customer, we really didn't understand where to organize ourselves in the crowd of people. When we walked in. Another customer pointed out that the middle of the group is the actual line. The left are the people waiting for online orders and everybody else is just waiting. We really had to kind of wing it because placing our order. We didn't know how we got our cups or our chips or really anything. So it would be nice if they had like a sign or something telling you what to do. There is also a gated area behind the restaurant that they have some containers for storage. It would really do wonders for their business if they would set up some folding tables. We really did not expect it to be a to-go place and have to eat in our car. So five stars for food, four stars because it's a little confusing and three stars because there's really nowhere to sit. Would we go again? Absolutely!

I ordered a huge amount of food for catering. The staff were communicative and got the order perfect. The food was delicious! The bread and pastries here are a Tampa staple. There’s a reason why the line is always out the door! Yum

I got it through one of the delivery apps, and initially, I ate it cold. When it was cold, it was just ok. However, after heating it back up in the microwave, the sandwich ended up tasting out of this world. I wonder if it's because the pork fat is rendered in the sandwich when it is heated up. Make sure to eat it hot!

This little Cuban café and bakery was a delightful find! With over a hundred years of history, it's a true gem in Tampa. We started with a guava cheese pastry--huge, flaky, and bursting with flavor. It was the perfect sweet treat after our traditional Cuban sandwich. The sandwich itself was everything you'd hope for: a perfectly thin, crispy layer of bread, generous portions of meat, and that ideal mix of mayo, mustard, and pickles. Every bite hit all the right notes for a classic Cuban. We also tried the beef and cheese empanada. At first, I hesitated at the $5 price tag for a small empanada, but after one bite, it was clear it was worth every penny. It was generously stuffed with flavorful picadillo, seasoned ground beef with onions and peppers, giving it a surprising and delicious spicy kick at the end. Overall, the flavors were outstanding. This is definitely a place worth revisiting--an authentic Cuban bakery you'll want to return to again and again!

tl;dr despite the iconic status, the mediocre baked goods and sandwiches aren't worth sacrificing your time, money, or appetite La Segunda Central Bakery is an iconic, family-run Tampa bakery that is synonymous with Cuban bread. Spanish-born Juan More fought the Spanish-American War and gleaned a traditional bread recipe while in Cuba. After the war, he immigrated to Ybor City and joined a baker co-op to establish La Segunda in 1915. Although the business has moved locations and opened other greater Tampa locations, the original Ybor counter service operation remains busy. In fact, La Segunda bakes 18,000 loaves of bread daily, and their popular Cuban bread is shipped nationwide as far away as Boston and Alaska. You can't miss the Ybor outpost's bright blue-and-red neon sign just off the freeway. The single-storied, whitewashed plaster building is accented with peanut-brown arches, a narrow wooden awning, and a tiled crest. Compared to the large building, the tiny customer area feels claustrophobic. Harsh fluorescent lights shine from the black ceilings. The walls alternate between yellow paint and dark wood slats, and they are decked with black-and-white family photos, an architectural painting of the original bakery, and framed chalkboards. Refrigerated bakery displays loops between the kitchen and the queue. Spanish-language music mixes with contemporary American pop. My mom and I arrived at 7:30 on a weekend morning, and the line already ran nearly out the door. We opted for a large Cuban Sandwich, a Guava Turnover, and a Cinnamon Stick. Surprisingly, the least exciting part of the sandwich was the floppy, lifeless bread. Further, mustard was slathered heavy-handedly on one half of the roll but was completely absent from the other. The sandwich was greasy, but the only meat with any flavor was the roast pork (I barely noticed the characteristically Tampa inclusion on Genoa salami). Lastly, the sandwich was barely pressed and lukewarm at best. Meanwhile, the large turnover (a non-traditional pastelito) was good-not-great and felt mass-produced -- like a marginally upscale grocery store variety. The pastry itself was somewhat soggy, and it was pumped with tons of neon, sugar-forward guava jelly. Lastly, the cinnamon stick was equally soggy. It was brushed with sickeningly sweet syrup, and I could not for the life of me discern any cinnamon. Service was friendly but inefficient, and our visit set us back nearly $20. After hearing the La Segunda was a Tampa fixture, and then experiencing the busy line firsthand, I was shocked to find that each item was barely tolerable, much less great. Indeed, the Cuban sandwich and pastelito were among the least appetizing I've had, in Florida or otherwise. Save your money and appetite for nearly any other option in Tampa.

3.5 stars Came to try their Cuban sandwich and my partner ordered an iced coffee. The person behind the register asked if we wanted a pastry to go with our order to make it a combo, so we opted to try the guava with cheese pastry. The shop itself is very quaint, no tables or chairs inside or outside. Their assortment of pastries were enticing and looked amazing but we were about to hop on a plane and already had snack for our flight. They had so much to choose from, from an assortment of sandwiches to cakes and cookies - they even had meat pies! +_The Iced coffee itself was good, strong and not watered down. +_The Cuban sandwich was tasty, though I'd say that the bread was what made it even better. We didn't finish the whole sandwich and even while traveling, it held up nicely when we ate it later. +_The guava and cheese pastry was strangely colored, kind of like fluorescent? Bright. It tasted just ok, I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it. I might be biased since I get spoiled with guava and cheese croissants back home from Porto's bakery tho. The guava flavor didn't really hit and the cheese was just meh.

The service was quick. The coffee and pastries was even better. The place is clean. I will be back when I'm in the area.

First stop after getting out of the Tampa airport. Love most everything here! Coffee, salad, sandwiches and a wide variety of pastries. Workers are friendly. You will love it!

Searching for a good Cuban in Tampa so I stumbled on this place after reading reviews. Place was packed so I had high hopes. Cuban sandwich is not good. Dry . Meat was way too dry .. hard pass Philly cheesesteak was my fav of the sandwiches. Nice and thin. Pressed perfectly Meatball has barely any meat. Hard pass Guava tart .. not flaky. Hard pass Almond bear claw. Not sweet at all. Actually was sour. Hard pass Cafe con leche was decent. So many better options in my opinion

A central bakery staple in the Ybor community since 1915, this visit couldn't come soon enough and it didn't disappoint. Upon entering, we noted no dining area and little standing room for those awaiting orders. Our first visit took 40 minutes for one Cuban sandwich which was worth the wait but orders from now on will be placed online. This Cuban sandwich is a collaboration of multinational tastes from the countries of Germany, Italy, Cuba and Spain. The mustard and pickles are the German influence, the salami - Italian, the mojo marinated pork from Cuba, and the smoked ham from Spain. The bread is toasted to perfection and is said to be made with the water of the onsite natural spring and is used by other local area restaurants. They have breakfast foods as well as cookies, bread, pastries, coffees and a rewards program. A whole Cuban sandwich is cut in half and enough for two to share. I will say I was stuffed after eating half the sandwich. Highly Recommended! I plan to conquer many more of these amazing Cuban sandwiches.

Delicious! Always consistent. We ordered ahead on Uber eats for pick up and it was ready when we arrived. There's ALWAYS a long line so order ahead if you can. Service was quick and friendly

When in Tampa, you gat a classic Cuban sandwich from the legendary @lasegundabakery in Ybor. What I didn't realize was today was La Segunda's 109th Anniversary and they were celebrating with $7 Cubans and BOGO turnovers. The place was SLAMMED, but the wait was worth it. Crispy, made-fresh-this-morning Cuban bread filled with mojo marinated roast pork, smoked ham, Genoa salami, pickles, Swiss cheese, a mustard-y special sauce, and pressed to perfection. So did Tampa invent the Cuban sandwich or was it Miami? That's an argument for another day, but I will say La Segunda's is one of the best.

My first ever stop for a cream cheese guava pastry - yum yum yum!! Definitely will be back. Was a great treat my bf wanted me to experience, since he'd always buy his Mother one of these pastries as it was her favorite!

The smell of tasty La Segunda Central Bakery fills the Ybor area with great smells constantly. I stopped by to check it out and I sure am glad that I did. The service is great, everyone is so friendly. On this trip I only got the Caesar salad which was soooooo tasty and fulfilling! Planning to get a tasty pastry on my next visit. 10/10!

Open for 109 years and counting. I still think Bodega in St. Pete & La Teresita in Tampa have the 2 best Cuban sandwiches, but I'd put La Segunda as a solid 3rd. Cuban $11.99 Hot and Pressed - Only 2 other spots have a better one $13.99 Fire Bird - I would not order this again, not really much fire, and not all that great. Chocolate Chip & Chicolate chunk cookies- Neither are in the same stratosphere as Bake N Babes or Indys Cookies. Pass $3.59 Guava cheese turnover - The staff told me this was the best pastry so I tried it. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Not really my type, but way better than I expected. $2.94 Red Velvet cupcake - Pass, nothing comes close to Sprinkles $4.39 Blueberry Explosivo - Holy smokes - freaking delicious, by far the best pasty I tried. Would definitely come back for this!

Small little bakery with lots of delicious pastries and treats. Friendly staff and a clean inviting atmosphere. The plain Cuban Bread is off the charts. Definitely stop by and take a look at their amazing selection!

Our final stop in the Tampa area and probably what I looked forward to most minus our visit to Texas de Brazil. The reason? Because La Segunda Central Bakery is a Cuban bakery, or at the very least they have croquetas, which aren't readily available in Tallahassee. I have to say that the croquetas hit the spot, but it was weird to see them sold individually or in boxes of ten rather than a mini tray ("bandejita" in Spanish) of 25 croquetas. I guess I'm too used to Miami. Having these in Tampa seems like a luxury in comparison. The fact that the bakery has some Italian goodies, such as rainbow cookies, only adds to this. Speaking of those rainbow cookies, I'd go back for them alone. They were some of the best, if not the best ones I've had ever. If I had known how delicious these would be, I'd have bought more. I surprisingly inhaled these quicker than the croquetas. I also ordered a couple of fried chicken empanadas and they weren't bad, but I can definitely tell I've spoiled myself with baked ones both from Miami and from home when I bother making them myself. Again, these were great, and if I hadn't had many empanadas in my life, I'd likely be raving more about them. However, as it stands, I'm Hispanic and I cook and travel, so that in itself makes my standards high. My companion on this trip though appeared to be in heaven with his sandwich. Maybe I ought to order that the next time I go. Hmm... so many things to think about. I'm looking forward to returning when I'm in the area.

Overrated, crowed no space to sit. Grab and go but make sure that you review your items because if it's more than two things something will be missing or messed up.

For the most part, I'm always on the search for the best Cuban Sandwiches (especially when in Miami, Key West or TAMPA)... in Tampa I've had some great luck even though the Cuban Sandwiches typically have salami (you won't find salami in Miami or Key West). I saw a picture from La Segunda and that Cuban Sandwich looked amazing and balanced with the perfect amount of meats, so I'm not sure why Le Segunda wasn't a higher priority... but I finally made it in with my son. Of course I ordered the CUBAN SANDWICH and my son ordered TONY'S TURKEY. My son seemed to love his sandwich; I liked mine very much but I'd be lying if I didn't emphasize how different it was from the photos that La Segunda has presented (way less meat... way less) but it was still delicious nonetheless. I returned again (with my wife) and this time I got their MEDIA NOCHE... could've use a bit more meat but once again, it was delicious. My wife tried their EL JEFE SALAD (without the ham)... she was pleased.

La Segunda has good Cuban sandwiches. They are very filling and flavorful. We love their guava turnover pastries. Be prepared to stand in line during lunch; they are normally very busy and it gets crowded. You stand in line, place your order and then wait inside for your order.

My mom and I recently went La Segunda Bakery when they had a Cuban special for $7. We both had Cuban sandwiches and it hit the spot! There was a line wait time (~30 minutes) but I'm pretty sure it was because of the special they were having. There was also a BOGO offer for certain pastries. It's really great to see La Segunda is still striving.

Nice bakery (chain w about 6 locations) open early at 6:30am and closes at 3pm @ 7 days a week. No seating and take out only. Good staff. The cashier was friendly and honest and helpful. The Cuban sandwich @ $9.99 was good. The bakery is good too w some we got the guava and cheese turnover for $3.59 and the coconut turnover for $3.09 and they both have a fluffy croissant flavor and texture. Prices are ok for the bakery and not over priced. Plus... 2 free parking lots where one is right at the store and the other across the street w some grass.

In the historic district of Ybor is a small bakery with people lined up outside waiting to place orders. Known for their fresh baked breads that are supplied to local restaurants, La Segunda is more then meets the eye. Upon walking through the door you are met by a display case of every bakery good imaginable. In addition to the sweet treats, La Segunda serves a variety of salads and sandwiches including the famous Cuban or "mixed sandwich" - meaning, mixed with different kinds of meats, such as ham, roast pork, genoa salami, cheese, pickles and special mustard sauce. The food is worth the wait!

Tasty and fresh mom and pop donut shop!! Definitely recommend! I'll be stopping by again!

Awesome little bakery and breakfast/lunch spot! It was so great we went twice in one weekend! We waited in a line both times but it moved quickly and our orders were ready fairly quickly. We got sandwiches and desserts/pastries, everything was delicious! If you want a quick lunch spot or somewhere to grab a pastry and coffee for breakfast La Segunda is a great pick!

The catering order we placed exceeded our expectations both in quantity and taste. We'll certainly be back for future business meetings or any other gatherings. Highly recommended!

Every picture you see here is only pleasing on the eyes. Terrible food... stale bread and pastries, dry and overcooked. Coffee was among the worst I've ever had. Between the 6 food items and 2 drinks we were unable to finish anything. Dining room was filthy and even the bathroom was foul after waiting 20 min for the employees to get out after destroying the toilets and not cleaning up after themselves Yelp won't let a zero star rating which is why they get one

While everything looked good, we had planned eating lunch there. Unfortunately it was take out only, so we didn't get the opportunity to try it. We then went to the nearby Flan Factory. The food there was delicious.

La Segunda is a true mom and pop bakery with all homemade pastries. You can find anything from breakfast sandwiches to whole cakes, and everything is absolutely delectable. If you're looking for northern-style Bakery where you can go and order three dozen different types of cookies, this is the place! The line is always extremely long when I go there, so be ready to wait. The wait is so worth it though

A Tampa trademark! The La Segunda bakery is known for their soft Cuban bread but there's so much more! From Cuban sandwiches to many selections of sandwiches, all fresh and custom made. I bought fresh fruit starting my day off with my antioxidant servings. Yum! The pastries are to die for and I love the cakes, cookies and cupcakes but the chocolate eclairs are my absolute favorite! If you haven't been, you're definitely missing out! Be sure to try the scacciata! It's amazing! The staff are friendly and helpful as well as quick to help get the line out! The lobby and atmosphere is quiet and the line goes quickly for fast pick ups. It's a walk in service counter so no tables but still a great experience!

This one is a little complex. The Cuban was good, but not the best that I have had. The bread wasn't amazing either, when there. I think it was over roasted to serve. We had the bread from here later for dinner at another restaurant, it was amazing. The desserts were okay. A lot to choose from so we over ordered. They were okay but if I went again I would stick with the bread and make a sandwich at home.

We went here twice once for lunch we had the Philly cheese sandwich which was so good! We went again for deserts I got the Boston cream pie and my husband got the tripple chocolate cake both were amazing and delicious. They're was I love Sunday morning but Saturday afternoon want to busy.

I've been to Tampa so many times, I couldn't believe I had never set foot here. I'm particular about my Cuban sandwiches, but I've become accustomed to eat like the locals, so I will not start a debate about which city has the better Cuban sandwich. However, I can say that this Cuban sandwich was really good, as in Really Good! I also got pastelitos/pastries, bread, a flan/custard, and a coffee. The flan was one of the best out of a bakery, honest truth. The bread is good also. The coffee is dark, very bitter, the type that wakes up a sleeping beauty... not my fave but it does the job. Be patient when coming here. It's an odyssey starting at the absurd parking lot, following to ordering, waiting and getting skipped, people bumping into you, people spilling drinks, people forgetting their phone, it's the works. Just talk to someone while you wait, the place is crazy but legit good. You've been warned.

We came on a Sunday morning, and we were able to order and get out food pretty quickly. Unfortunately their fryer was down, so we weren't able to try any of their croquetas or empanadas. Their Cuban sandwich was meh, but the bread was good and the pastelitos de guayaba were definitely some of the better ones I've tried.

Parking is limited but there is on street parking all around the bakery but just watch the signs. I would recommend going early or ordering online. We got there at 10 and there were 4 other folks in line before us BUT it took :30 minutes to get one egg sandwich. After you a wonderful and very friendly, young woman takes your order (no complaint on how nice everyone that works there) another woman will help you with your cookie order (I got a 1/4 pound assortment- butter cookie, wedding cookie, Florentine, etc). Then we waited for our egg sandwich for about :30. And there were LOTS of people that crammed in while we waited. If you are nervous about the new Covid, wear a mask and order online. There were a few older folks with masks. We ate in the car and I will say it was tasty! Crunchy, with tomato, avocado and egg and hot!!!! Almost worth the wait! I'll order ahead next time and there was a bit of chaos, which line to wait in, folks cutting the line, almost getting into a fight in front of us. Perhaps they should have a greeter helping folks when they arrive? Just a thought. So nice that it is 100 years in the making but just a few adjustments to make it nicer for those that are new.

I was disappointed. Previously, before doing our semi-annual pig roast, I'd go to the Faedo Family Bakery. I'd get bread fresh from the oven. Faedo's was never crowded. Then, La Segunda bought them. I went to the old location last year, and the experience was similar to the old Faedo. But that location has since closed. This is the Ybor location. You can order ahead, but one way or the other, expect chaos in getting your order with the crowds of people there for sandwiches, pastries, etc. I just wanted a few loaves of Cuban bread. I was given the option of paper or plastic bag. And then I had to wait for 8 minutes because heaven forbid that they grab those loaves and send me on my way. Nope. After paying for the bread, I had to wait for everyone to get their twee pastries and complicated sandwiches before they grabbed my plain Cuban bread. And, insult to injury, the bread was cold. Who knows when it was baked. Don't get me wrong, La Segunda makes a fine bread. But I can buy La Segunda bread at select Publix, so why would I journey up to Ybor if I'm not getting fresh out of the oven bread????? Next year, I'll just go to Publix.

Came here for a sandwich and left with 3 other pastries (all eaten before photo ops) Def rec the empanada and the carrot cakes

We were visiting Ybor city and the Yelp reviews here caught my attention. This bakery has been a part of Tampa history for over a hundred years. The Cuban sandwich was one of the best I have ever had and i people weee lining up to buy the Cuban bread. The pastries were decadent and it was hard picking just a few items from the bakery section. I am so glad we stopped and I highly recommend the Cubano and any pastry!

La Segunda HITS DIFFERENT (in the best and most positive way possible)!!! Moving from South Florida, I was hoping to find a Cuban breakfast/pastry place that I loved as much as my usual spots. I had heard great things about La Segunda, but I was not prepared for how blown away I was going to be. This place is SOOO good and legitimate!! My gold standard measure of a Cuban bakery is their pastelito de guayaba. And this one rivals even the best from Miami. Literally every time I get them, they are SO decadent and completely stuffed with sweet/tart guava and savory cheese. They are the literal PERFECT treat. Everytime I get them for my coworkers, they go crazy for them. I've tried various other pastries from here too and they have all been delicious. The guava cheese one just has a special place in my heart. Shockingly I realized while writing this review that I never had tried their coffee. Will update it when I do, but for now, don't walk... RUN to La Segunda for those guava/cheese pastries!!!!

A Tampa OG spot for takeout only. The sandwich is great here- very basic but done right. The bread is apparently their most known product as it's sourced to other area restaurants too. Service is fast and prompt since it's takeout.

Soooooo expensive. Woke up 1 morning feeling great. Stopped in and bought pastries for the office. Was charged over $75. The prices are displayed so there was no funny business. It just added up quick. I would call this more of a tourist type of spot. Still searching for a reasonable place for pastries and good cofe con leche closer than Miami.

When you can eat the bread plain that's when you know it's good! I tried the fresh baked bread loaf and almost ate the entire thing. Nothing beats the smell of fresh baked bread and you can literally smell it from down the street as you approach. 10/10 as far as the bread is concerned very curious to try their coffee and pastries. Take a shot for every time I said "bread"

We love La Segunda! They are very famous for their Cubans and it understandable why. The sandwich is made on fresh bread every morning. It's the perfect little spot to grab a sandwich in Ybor City.

My wife went in to get a sandwich and a coffee. She was so upset her sandwich was poorly made. Almost no meat, 1 slices of cheese and a ton of mustard. Not worth the $16 meal. It seems like they are very careless here. You'd expect better from a place that has been open for so long. Hire people that care about the quality of your food. I'm very upset we spent money there and didn't even ate the mustard sandwich. Don't waste your money here. Won't be coming back.

Sandwiches are good but this the second time I've come and my order is messed up. I ordered the turkey Cuban. My sandwich was sloppily thrown together. It was basically a mustard Cuban with a slice of turkey and cheese with some lettuce mixed in. The sandwich comes with tomatoes ,there are none. It's unfortunate because it could be so good if they didn't rush everything. You can tell that since they have been around for so long that they feel like they don't need to put effort in anymore. I probably won't order a sandwich from here and just stick to the baked items.

I was exploring Ybor City and wanted something hearty to start the day. I stopped at La Segunda Central Bakery for a Cuban breakfast sandwich (egg and cheese on Cuban bread) and a café con leche. Holy crap, was that coffee hot and strong! The sandwich was delicious and kept me full for a long time. There is no seating inside, so be prepared to take your food and coffee to go. There's also not much parking available (I parked on the street). The line was fairly long but the wait wasn't too bad considering how many customers were in there. Service is friendly and there were a lot of employees making sure things went smoothly. I am now kicking myself for not getting some kind of pastry - we don't have anything like a guava turnover in upstate New York!

Thumbs Up! I vouch for being able to taste the history in their delicious Cuban Sandwich.

Amazing bakery so many choices staff friendly an knowledgeable of their products. We had a breakfast sandwich with bacon and egg on Cuban bread next level. Sales area is small but very clean and inviting. If you're in the area be sure to check it out.

Excellent service. Food made fresh to order. All of the deserts are made fresh and taste like they are made with love. The pressed sandwiches are full of flavor and will leave you wanting more. The line gets long around breakfast and lunch time so be prepared to wait or order online for delivery. If you are in the Ybor area I highly recommend this bakery.

This location is busy and people come in and out. There is very ample parking, but again people come in and out very quickly. There is no seating here whatsoever. They have Cuban sandwiches, pastries and desserts. I had the guava flip and I wasn't too crazy over it. There was a lot of breading and not too much filling. I have to try their other versions of the guava pastry.

If you come to Tampa, you must try a Cuban bakery. And this bakery has a legacy and is one of the oldest in the city. The highlights: - The Cuban sandwich: This is a must, along with the fresh Cuban bread, ham, and pickles you can't go wrong with this choice. - Guava and cheese turnover: If you love sweets like me, this is for you. The sweet cheese is a good compliment to the tartness of the guava jam. - Breakfast sandwich: An unexpected favorite. Really egg and cheese on fresh bread is a good way to start your morning.
