We recently discovered this spot thanks to our family who lives in South Florida. It is a "wicked" cute spot that is serving some really delicious food. The location is hard to find if you are not looking for it. It is not the easiest to get it as it is in a small shopping area on a very busy street. Once inside you see the theme, which is all spooky and scary, however it is not overly scary. Its more of a fun scary, with witches and wizards and characters we know.
They serve tons of different empanadas and mini sandwiches along with coffee and a few pastries. What they are most known for is their cinnamon bread which comes in a small pie tin and then they top it with an amazing glaze icing they have heated in a caldron.
We ordered a few things since we were ordering for 5 of us. We did order a few different types including beef, ham and cheese, spinach and cheese and chorizo. They were all really good. They are not my favorite empanada since they are bake, I personally prefer when they are fried, but they were good. We also ordered a little sandwich that said it was Cuban, it looked like a croissant with ham and cheese. But it was good, my husband really enjoyed it. I also order the bacon and egg and cheese croissant, which was ok. It was mostly croissant and very little filling, and the filling it did have was mostly egg, I did not taste bacon or cheese. We also got the cinnamon bread which was outstanding. That was by far the best thing on the menu. Hands down would order that every single time.
I was disappointed with the service. There were two girls working and since my husband and I had never been there, we were taking a little longer to look. We let others go in front of us, as my mom was also waiting for my families order. But when we were ready, there was no one else in the shop, but they kept rushing us. We wanted to order a few things and have some for breakfast and then possibly lunch. They were highly irritated that we had a larger order. We had to repeat ourselves numerous times as well. And when my husband tried to order the Cuban, they kept telling him they only have ham. We pointed to the sandwich in the window and again just kept telling us they don't have it, only ham. I finally stepped in and told them its written on their glass, so whatever this sandwich on the bottom is, we want that one. I didn't quite understand where the attitudes were coming from when it was written on their glass window. I was surprised they got everything correct though, so that was a plus.
Overall this is a cute place. I think if I lived down south, I would find myself stopping for a coffee and pastry or the cinnamon bread. The bread was literally the best thing they had on the menu. It was served warm and stayed warm because they add that hot icing to the top of it. I think I would probably skip the empanadas in the future, they were good but again, I prefer them fried.
Overall, this is a really unique and cute shop. I could see people sitting inside, enjoying coffee and some food and taking in all the atmosphere. I would add it to your list if you are in South Florida.
