La Segunda Seminole Heights

You are basically ordering in a manufacturing place lol and it's awesome. What's not awesome is the guava turnover I ordered must've succumbed to the Tampa humidity because there was no crispiness or crunch even though there was flake. This doesn't seem to be guava's natural color but maybe they use natural ingredients to color it. What was most disappointing is that I expected to get a Cuban sandwich there, as the existing Google photos and their online ordering suggest are available, but with no menu posted, no mention of sammies anywhere on-site, and no active sandwich making or press visible I figured I must've read wrong and didn't ask. Maybe for the best because the ropa vieja empanada I ordered was dry and less than half filled with anything other than air. I get it's an institution, that's why I came, but I was disappointed. I'll try a different La Segunda location next time, I'm not giving up on them!

Fabulous bread and pastries sold in the actual commercial bakery. You can view the bakers making their wonderful creations while ordering from a lovely lady. I'm definitely coming back with my granddaughter so that she may see where her food comes from and all of the people it takes to bake such wonderful eats. Five stars all the way!

I wonder if there even reading the reviews. Honestly I was so afraid this would happen with the new owners. How sad that this place was loved by everyone, not one single negative review when it was Faedo! Now it honestly a disgrace. The bread is hard and definitely not fresh, the cashier is tipping herself, and the pastries are not edible. I know Faedo sold the store so he could relax but he would be so ashamed of what they have done to this place.

Super fresh hot bread, delicious Pastries and cookies. Amazing deviled crabs and potato balls, the friendliest people you could ever meet, and the whole place smells like magic! A must!

Not the atmosphere you would think for a bakery but the movement of the men making the Cuban bread to the sound of Latin music was amazing and the pastelitos with guava and cheese amazing. Pro Tip get a Cuban coffee at Spaddys coffee truck next door and chill in their outside space.

Delicious bread and if you go when they get it out of oven, even better. On the location at Florida Avenue. Thats where is made and distributed to other locations.

I knew from the beginning. Once Faedo left the bakery in the hands of someone, who doesn't care about quality control thing like this going to happen. I bought Cuban bread last week and 2 guava and 2 coconut turnovers, not fresh at all. The bread had to be throw away because it was old and not fresh and warm, like it used to be with the previous owners. Also hygiene looks really bad when you look around everything is covered with flour or maybe dust. So sad for the final of a good place to buy a fresh Cuban bread.

The best bread is sold here. Actually they gave it us for free. Thank you. It was delicious!
