Ricky Bakery #2 (Coral Way)

Ricky Bakery the best! The staff is amazing — always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The service is fast, the food is fresh, and you can truly taste the quality in every bite. From the pastelitos to the Cuban sandwiches, everything is delicious. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great service and authentic flavor!

Definitely, I will be back to enjoy their food again. The customer service is beyond amazing, and I am officially a big fan of their spinach empanadas. Highly recommended!

Oh my goodness the best 10 out of 10 I ordered myself a Pan con bistec which is a steak sandwich oh man when I tell you, it is exquisite. It’s an understatement. I love the environment super clean. I love the energy of the customer service. The ladies are amazing greeting. It just made an overall extremely pleasant place. I never knew of so thank you Ricky bakery. Keep doing what you’re doing. You have an amazing team and delicious food 🔥🔥💜🩷🤩🔥🔥💯❤️

The staff it’s always friendly they get you cozy and you always feel welcome . I had been coming here for a while now, the staff it’s Extraordinary they make you feel appreciated and value as a person and customer . When you enter here , its when you realize family can be more them just blood. There hospitality upon arrival and be able to put a smile and a face of joy it’s important for each and every one of them . It’s to sad that I’m moving to Houston , TX but until we see again keep doing what you all know how to do best . Love you all my ladies on 💔❤️

My boss went to buy bocaditos. Besides the fact that they charge a service charge and ask for a tip. When we open the package we notice that the sandwiches are not the same size. The middle ones are fine but on the edge they are super small. The ham didnt even reach the smaller ones. Definitely not worth the $22 that were paid. Extremely disappointed and will not be going there in the future. Will not be recommending this place to anyone. This business is not for the customer. If you want quality go somewhere else

The people were so kind even though I am still learning Spanish. The sandwich I ordered is enough for 2 people. The coffee is SO GOOD!!

Ricky has always been a great bakery, but they have definitely taken it to the next level and the staff is amazing— Lidi and Virginia are so warm and welcoming on the night shift. We go just about every night and the coffee, pastries, and service are incredible. The amazing pastry chefs don’t skimp on ingredients everything is TOP quality. The pecan pastry, the spinach pie, the lemon meringue are among our favorites. And now it’s open 24 hours!!!

We use to come here every year during our trips to Miami. There use to be full display cases with lines of people. The cases were empty, there were no people and the food was awful. The empanada were ice cold and we trashed them. The papa rellenos were overcooked and the meat was so bad. The only thing that was fantastic was the guava and cheese pastelitos. This place holds many precious memories for me, but I won’t be back. The media noche was also trashed. It tasted strongly of vinegar. The food is just not edible. There are way to many places in Miami with fantastic Cuban food then to ever eat here again.

everything is very expensive there. Prices out of control I noticed that it is not as full as it was a year or two ago. they need to check and lower prices. thank you

Placed an order online and food was Ready when I arrived. Ladies working there are very friendly. I visit this place once a week since it's a bit far from where I live but they always know what I take, how I like my coffee it's always nice to visit a place like this

I never see anyone in here and always see a ton of pastry on their shelves at closing time. Always wondered what they do with it. I now know the old pastry stays on the shelves and eventually gets sold because my cuatro leches had mold underneath the dulce de leche. The girl was nice and replaced it with tres leches she said was more fresh but still, ew.

Good food and bocaditos here. Used to love coming here when I lived on the next block away from here. Dark, interesting, unique museum feel to the inside of the establishment. Everything tastes great here. Been here so many times and there's usually lots of people inside. Located in an extremely convenient great area.

I'd like to start by saying that this has been my go to cuban bakery for years. Quality of their pastelitos was once amazing, then it went to mediocre and currently they are back to being pretty good. Service for me has been consistently good but I have noticed when they get swamped the atmosphere can get tense. I typically get the tostada and cafe con leche. Because in true cuban fashion, one must dip their tostada in the coffee. I also grab a a couple of pastelitos (usually the guava and cheese and the meat) to complete the cuban breakfast pyramid. I'm surprised by the many negative reviews but I would definitely recommend giving them a try.

Always excellent cafe con leche and pastelitos. Wonderful workers as well. Preferred over the other larger chain.

Customer service, have no respect for the customers. No common courtesy. Need better manners

I've been ordering from this bakery for a while now. The ambiance is always welcoming. The service is good for the most part, but that's because they're always very busy! All of the pastries, bread, coffee are always great. The food is always fresh and coffee is always perfect! I'd definitely recommend this place for breakfast!

The service is AWFUL. Expect to wait about 10-15 minutes to order and then another 10-15 minutes for your order. Service is rude and the women behind the counter seem annoyed you are there. Also, it has become MUCH more expensive than it was even five years ago.

Great Cuban sandwiches and desserts! Perfect place to order mini sandwiches and croquetas for parties. Great prices!!!

I believe this bakery has been around for many years and I don't think they have gotten renovated in awhile. The place needs it so bad. Service is good, they are nice, the food is delicious especially breakfast and the desserts are very good.

The pastelitos and croquetas is not of good quality, the price is a little high for the poor quality

They are so polite and I can't wait to visit again! They remind me of Chicas bakery in Union City, NJ.

The best Cuban bakery in south Miami The best pastelitos , croquetas, always fresh and tasty.

Terrible - mediocre - overprice - F+ Old food without taste ..waste of time and money.

Croquetas are life. Ham ones, chicken ones, mixed ones - I love 'em all! Enter the latest in my love: spinach croquetas, and hello, Ricky Bakery, you are my provider for them. See, it all started as follows. We often have breakfast potlucks at work. On many occasions, people have brought croquetas, and better still, they have brought spinach croquetas. Now I am used to traditional meat-filled croquetas, but I tried the spinach ones and it was love at first bite. Hence, I needed to know where they were bought at and so I was told of this place. I finally had the opportunity to visit a couple of mornings back. The place is one of the few in the area with its own designated parking spaces, so yay to free parking. That aside, it's a decent size; plenty of chairs and tables available to sit down and have a quick breakfast. The lady who attended me was nice. I was in and out quickly. Two things to note, however: 1) Speaking Spanish here will make your life much easier; 2) You have limits to use a card. Credit cards: $5; Amex: $10.

This is one of those good old reliable spots for pastelitos and Cuban pastries/desserts. This shop is conveniently located on Coral Way, and it has a large parking lot, which is always full, so parking on the street is your alternative. I have been stopping here for years, I really like how reliable they are. Never have I had a bad pastry, bread, sandwich, or coffee here. However, I would skip the breakfast menu, which is ridden with oil and fat, cheese and butter. I have never ordered a Cuban cake (Kay-cee-tow), or one of their party packages, so I don't know about that. But everything under the glass is good. Looking for fresh orange juice? They have it. There is a big imaginary sign that reads "Only Spanish", so use your translate option here, or learn to use it. Want croquetas? They'll fry them on the spot for you. Does it get any better? Muy Bueno. Muy Bonito.

On Sunday, January 22 I had breakfast at the Coral Way location, and unfortunately I lost my Apple Air Pods (which are paired to my iPhone). I returned on Monday night to retrieve them and the employees told me to come back on Tuesday to see Conchita (manager). I went back on Tuesday morning and explained everything to her. She refused to help me, even though my Air Pods are still in the building. I showed Conchita and the other employees the "Find My" screen on my phone, which clearly showed that the Air Pods are somewhere in their kitchen. None of them wanted to go in there and look. They even denied the Air Pods are in the building! They said "your iPhone is wrong". My iPhone is paired to my Air Pods, as well as other devices whose locations are accurate. It's crazy. I have been a Ricky Bakery customer for 15 years. They know me, they see my face all the time and this is how they treated me.

This place although a little disorganized is very good food. Very authentic Cuban bakery and they make large meals for families if you preorder. Not just for kids bdays. It also for dinners and lunch Maryville at the front counter is very wonderful with the customers and balancing out all of the line over and calls coming in. Prices are very reasonable and there's plenty of space inside to eat but the lines are sometimes not manageable because of the amount of orders coming in on the phone and through Uber another platform that they service, with limited staff they have

Great cakes and pastries but the service to eat in is the worst, someone should teach them how to work as a team I felt I was inside a chicken coop.

Went in, trying to get a quick bite before work. As the bakery lady was talking to me, she kept interrupting me to speak to her co worker about coffee. After waiting to finally for her to take my order. She gives me my two croquettes & they're not cooked & the filling is inside is frozen. I sadly couldn't return them as I was already running late to work, but I know I'm never coming here again.

When I need a mid afternoon coffee break I usually visit this Ricky Bakery Location. Why you may ask? It's conveniently located in the heart of the Shenandoah/Coral Gate Areas of Miami and the staff already know what I get so there's no need to request what I need when walking in. The Cuban ladies that work here are fabulous. They're super nice and provide excellent customer service. This bakery is extremely clean at all times. I love their Cuban coffee and enjoy the cafe con leche very much. There's an available parking lot for the bakery and if you can't find parking there then there's plenty of off-street parking (metered parking - Miami Parking Authority - Pay by Phone). The pastelitos and croquetas here are delicious. Most customers tend to purchase their empanadas but I've never tried them myself. Everyone has their favorite bakery in Miami but honestly give Ricky Bakery a chance and visit them if you're in the area.

This was our first time and our experience was terrible customer service was ok, but my scrambled eggs they forgot to add the cheese and the onions, the moose chocolate was bad too, Cuban bread oh no I think in other places they make much better I will never come back here for sure.

One of Best Bakery in Miami . If you are looking for a Cuban bakery These is it off Coral way !"

I was intrigued by the spinach croquetas and was in dire need of a pastelito so I landed here right in time to snag the perfect parking spot. The interior is setup just like you'd expect the traditional Cuban bakery to be. All your Tres Leches dreams are just an order away at this lovely spot. Plus, who can resist chicken croquetas? Not many people! The bright red lit logo outside shows the entrance to pull in as you can truly be yourself and order all the goodies you want without judgment. Not only is it reliable, but it's delicious! Plus, the freshly squeezed orange juice is the perfect boost for the mornings when starting off your day here. Rickys is a solid choice when looking for consistency and friendly service within a Cuban bakery that's right in the heart of Coral Gables.

My Cuban friend took me here a few days ago to try authentic Cuban food. We had the following: pan con tortilla, empanadas, croquettes, tostada, and more. They were so so so good in every way. There was a long line when we went in and everyone was wearing masks, which made me feel safe. My favorite is pan con tortilla and beef empanadas. The price point is great. The staff is friendly. I did ask my friends for some Spanish lessons and ordered in Spanish when I went again by myself. I recommend!

Was just informed here that a Cubano sándwich does not have pernil and you have to ask for it. So here a cubano is ham and cheese sandwich. Extremely confused since this is the first time I've ever been asked to include pernil in a cubano. When I did ask for it they served me the same sandwich "Cubano" (with a bite missing) with a bunch of pork cold cuts. Everything was cold. This was atrocious. Service and food was horrendously bad for a 2pm Tuesday.

I went for breakfast on Sunday with my in-laws and we ordered a couple of different things like panini sandwich, pastelitos, scramble eggs, coffee, etc. The good things is that the prices are very reasonable and they have lots of options to choose from and over all the food is tasty and made fresh. What I didn't like is that as soon as you walk in there is a strong smell of fried food and sticks to your clothing and you'll end up smelling like fried food all day. The staff is not super friendly and they mainly speaks Spanish so you might have a hard time ordering in English. Tip: if you don't like your coffee too sweet ask for it with out sugar because they make it EXTRA sweet...

I ordered from this bakery through uber eats, and let me tell you the food was absolutely horrible. The food came cold, the food didn't even taste good at all and on top of that. My tequeno, had a hair INSIDE of it. How disgusting, I am absolutely disgusted with this. I am never ordering from here, and I will make sure to never let any of my friends or family order from here.

Es una pena que una pastelería de tantos años en la ciudad de Miami ahora estén contratando personas que te atienden de muy mala gana, cuando haces una pregunta lo primero que te dicen "NO" sin siquiera hacer el intento. Y para colmo cuando pagas con tarjeta te ponen la propina empezando con el 18% cuando lo único que están haciendo, es despachando y no atendiendo en una mesa, pero lo que más me preocupa es el poco deseo de servir al cliente

it was whatever i guess, only thing i did enjoy was the croquettes & the orange juice other then that, the toastada cubana tasted like nail polish remover. toastada ham and cheese was a 5/10 & theres flys always flying around it's disgusting. the customer service does need to be worked on and they need to do less talking and more working

I really appreciate this place! I ordered a cafe con leche, empanada, and pastelito with a friend and loved it! Even if this place has a mediocre rating, there is a line in this place! Tables are nearly full when I came. They have a wide range of selections in pastries! Everything looked good. I came for the cafe con leche, pastelito, and empanada only though! Struggled a bit in ordering because my spanish isn't all that great but the lady still got our order correctly. Taste wise-- amazing! Pastelito with some guava filling and a beef empanada really hit the spot! I had the sweet and the salty balance going on. Haha! Cafe con leche was also just right for me. Not super sweet but sweet enough as it should be. I am not from Miami and would definitely miss this place.

We came late two nights ago and it was a great treat. Speaking Spanish is a plus. We ordered croquetas de jamón, pastelitos de guayaba, and pastelitos de guayaba con queso. They were all served warm. They didn't have any señoritas but all of it was delicious. The reviews were right. Definitely ordered the pastelitos de guayaba con queso- the best! Will be back!

I don't recall having negative experience in any of their bakeries. Super clean, nice ambience and super delicious and fresh pastelitos.

Ricky Bakery isn't huge inside, but they do have an impressive variety of things to offer from traditional Cuban pastries to desserts and sweets to birthday/wedding cake creation and decorating to made to order breakfasts and other foods, along with a handful of tables/chairs for patrons to sit and eat. There is an attached parking lot, but during busy times they sometimes ask vehicles to park 2 deep to accommodate everyone. If you don't speak Spanish you will most likely face a bit of a language barrier with the staff, as few here speak fluent English, but I've usually been able to get by by pointing or asking one of the customers or other staff to help translate when necessary. I've come to Ricky Bakery on a few occasions: The first was when it was my turn to provide a light breakfast at work for a special occasion. Normally whomever is in charge of supplying food for those breakfast events will bring donuts or bagels, but I wanted to do something a bit different and unique. I came here to Ricky Bakery, told them how many I needed to feed and asked for them to provide a box full of the appropriate amount of assorted Cuban pastries from the display case. I then went to other side of this shop and selected a few sweets like eclairs, lady locks/cream horns and a few other dessert-type pastries from the other set of display cases. In short, my co-workers (a handful of whom are Latin) offered high praise and were thrilled to have something a bit different from the usual donuts or bagels. The other time I stopped here was for breakfast. I was able to get a full cooked to order Cuban breakfast with a drink and a hoagie sized piece of warm Cuban bread for something extremely reasonable like $8.

A big variety of tasty cakes. They also have other party with spinach and meat. Place looks clean.

Horrible service. Walked in and one lady was helping a little girl with her homework while the other was attending the only other customer that was there. That lady had to call out to the other lady to even acknowledge my existence. The most horrible part was that another customer walked in and she immediately attended them instead of me. I walked out and won't be returning thanks to that lady.

As soon as they I walked they greeted me and asked if I need help. Which was nice, real nice....everyone likes to feel special. At Ricky's bakery they have the cakes, tarts, and many Hispanic pastries. Being being the pheen I am for Hispanic desserts.. Got a Jamon y Queso Empanada, mini papa de rellenos(I like how they had mini ones. Its the perfect amount and not too overwhelming in taste), and a Spinach y queso danish looking treat. Their prices were very reasonable...as well. The line service was quick and the pastries tasted great. My only drawback was that my food was lukewarm. They didn't even ask if I wanted it warmed up, so I had to take it home to warm it up.

Who would've known I would've ended up in Ricky's and not Vicky's! (hahaha) After getting out of doing chores for my boss, I decided to take some treats back to the office. It was Friday and lots of estrogen in an office, the calories don't count! I decided to go in anyway and hope for the best. Most places never do pastries very fresh so I wasn't expecting much out of this place. But they exceeded my expectations. I ordered beef pastries, cheese pastries, croquetas, and mousse. The mousse was okay, I feel the frosting over it was a bit too much, too sweet (and I love sweet). But it was okay. The beef and cheese pastries were amazing and super fresh. The cheese one I love because it actually had cheese. It wasn't burnt and they didn't rip me off. The beef ones were also so so good. Not over cooked, had great flavor. And the croquetas, wow! The look of the place is very nice and spacious. I would definitely go there to have lunch and relax for a while rather than go to a Starbucks to be honest. I will definitely go back.

I ordered scrambled eggs with French fries to go and got this within five minutes. For the price you're paying, you'd expect a little better quality than half cooked french fries, soggy eggs, and watery content swirling around at the bottom. Nobody there spoke English so when I tried to place a complaint about my order, I was screamed at in Spanish.

Wish I could give 0 Stars.. just spent $40 and regret tipping on top of that. Tequeños were very hard and the shakes literally had no sugar whatsoever. I explained to the woman that the tequeños were really hard and seemed old and she tried giving me a scientific explanation as to why they needed to be that way. Trust me when I tell you not to come here. For this disgusting quality, I would've just hit up the gas station pastries. I should get a refund including my tip.

My absolute favorite bakery, no trills no flash just good pastelitos great bread and wonderful breakfast. Ladies who work there are great friendly and like family.

This bakery is authentic and amazing. The service is exceptional and they make you feel at home. Great decor and extreme cleanliness at this place. Pastries sandwiches and cafe con leche are delicious and a must when you visit.

If you want to have the best bakery in town, please keep the scooters out of the Handicap parking spot. I have mobility issues and EVERYTIME I pull in there are one or two parked illegally in the spot. Uber Pick up doesn't mean the disabled have to make sacrifices just to get breakfast. I love to buy breakfast for my employees at least once a week. Next scooter I see I will just keep driving. Show some leadership and address the issue. Otherwise this veteran will take his business elsewhere.

Best Pastelitos in the city. I call in my order an hour before I arrive. Made fresh to take to my clients for breakfast meetings. I usually order 20 meat, 20 cheese and 20 Guava.. Ask for Theresa .

Short of the slowness in service, and occasional lack of parking, this place is always on point. Great Cuban baked goods, OJ you can have squeezed-site, and colada. Adjacent to Just the Funny, so actors have come here for years. A neighborhood staple!

ln a city where bad service and apathy towards customers abound, l give these ladies FlVE stars for their ability to be exactly that. Every single time! Bravo! This is a review based on MANY visits from someone who has had amazing cuban and latin pastries. Honestly, where cuban restaurants and bakeries abound, you want something more. Don't get me wrong, for a cafe con leche and a pastry it is fine, but the pastries aren't even as good as at Publix Groceries where the baked goods are surprisingly fantastic. The empanadas are made with a sweet pastry, and even though l usually adore a sweet/salty combo, this is a case where it tastes as though a 12 year old has been experimenting with cooking and had nothing but sweet cookie dough to stuff with meat. Not the taste one is really looking for in an empanada. The croquetas again, you can get 'em as good at Publix. The tamales - meh. Papas rellenas - eh. Dedos de queso - blah. Eclairs - bland. And how cold is the air conditioning inside? Repeat after me: "DEMASlADO FRlO, no estamos en Siberia por favor!" Highly uncomfortable to sit in. l have been here no less than 6 times and NEVER have l been comfortable - just way too cold. On the upside, many of the items are affordable, and for a cheap catered meeting it is fine. For a coffee and a quick bite, again ok. Cheap and filling, but definitely nothing to write home about.

I really enjoy their pastelitos but based on today's breakfast I gotta give it this rating. The Cuban toast had way too much butter. Now I'm Cuban and I love bread so when something like too much butter messes it up I'm not a happy camper. It did keep me from eating the whole toast but I still didn't need that many calories from butter alone. Cafe con leche was too dark even though it was ordered "clarito". I had to add sugar, which I don't mind doing, but it was still too strong for my taste. I did enjoy the eggs and fries, pretty yummy with chopped ham and nicely melted cheese.

I came here Sunday at noon to grab some breakfast. I ordered the desayuno completo. The complete breakfast is eggs with ham, onions, cheese, French fries and small coffee for $8 which is not bad for the area. Also ordered a side of bacon. The coffee was basically the one thing that tasted good. The French fries were burned, couldn't enjoy them. The bacon was beyond well done. You couldn't enjoy it. The eggs, ham and onions were just bland. Since I didn't enjoy it, I ordered a Pan de Bono which surprisingly was good.
