Craving a taste of authentic Miami? this place captures the Cuban culture from freshly baked pastelitos to creamy cafecitos, or a bold cortadito, you simply can't go wrong here :)
This location located on a strip mall at the Flagami neighborhood, on the intersection of Douglas Rd & Flagler Street, Bonus: there's plenty of easy free parking (highly appreciate in the busy city of Miami). sometime might get a little hectic but be patient on the parking manuover.
Now, going back to business:
Once inside, it's all about indulgence. The space is bright, clean, staff handles well the daily rush. Friendly staff willing to help you on picking your favorites.
Quality is consistent as found on their other stores in the city.
My order: A box of Cuban pastelitos (beef & guava) crispy and flaky on the outside, with a savory filling that melts in your mouth, paired with a cuban cafecito, strong, sweet, and totally energizing. Pure happiness.
My not so positive note is that they close at 6pm, going close to that time will expose you to a rush service vibe that might affect your overall experience, so try to go at least half an hour before closing time
Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, Vicky captures the unique Miami soul.
