Pastelitos Cuban Bakery

So happy the new location is open, we have been waiting eagerly! Right across from Lululemon in Bearden, in the Cherokee Village strip mall. Personally, I think it’s a prime location! The atmosphere is always so welcoming and joyful. So glad they are back!

Pastelitos Cuban Bakery is a gem in west Knoxville with absolutely great coffee and pastries. Their Cuban sandwich and other lunch items are great. Their dining area is very small but cozy and most people do take out. They do have outside seating when the weather is good. The owners are extremely welcoming and always treat their customers the best. I’m always want to go back.

This bakery is a complete vibe as soon as you walk in. It can be hard to spot if driving on Cedar Bluff but that clearly isn't stopping them from crushing it w their business! The customer service all-around was very great as they took their time explaining the menu to us and recommending items based on our taste. Not to mention, they gave us an extra slice of quiche bc the crust was cracked on our first one! Items enjoyed: Apricot and cheese tart (9.5/10) Guava and cheese pastry (9.6/10) Cafe con leche (9.6/10) Spinach and feta quiche (7.3/10) Would totally recommend and will be back soon for lunch!

I cannot praise Pastelitos Cuban Bakery enough! The food is fantastic, the best Cuban food in Knoxville, possibly outside of FL! Love the croquettes, media noches, pastelitos, and cafe con leche!

As a native South Floridian living in TN for 18 yrs, we could not wait to get an authentic Cuban sandwich in our hands and our visit to Pastelito's did not disappoint! Not only was the food delicious but the owners were so gracious and hospitable. We plan to bring more of our family in with us next time. Don't miss out eating at this wonderful establishment!!

One of if not the best family owned businesses in Knoxville. Coffee is great a perfect blend of expresso and sweetness. The pastry’s are fantastic as well. You can tell the family is passionate about what they do from the customer service to the food they serve.

Go here!!!!! Now located in Bearden where Archers BBQ had been located. Authentic Cuban food. Not otherwise found in East Tennessee. I grew up in Miami and have been desperately searching for real Cuban food here in Knoxville. Their prior location out west had to close due to a fire in their shopping center. I tried a bit of everything. Cuban sandwich (perfect), cafe con leche (perfect), guava pastry (perfect), ham croquettes (perfect), guava and cheese pasrty (perfect). Their prior location owner and his family are nice and friendly.

I’ve been here twice and the food was great both times. The guava and cheese pastelito was really good— the sweetness and creamy flavor was perfectly balanced. The iced cafe con leche is a must try. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant gives the vibe of being welcomed into someone’s home.
