We go for coffee and pastry or a sandwich. Never tried their cooked meals. A bit noisy at times but always a great experience.

My kids love to stop here when we visit family in Miami. Pan con bistec is delicious! This time I tried their club sandwich with a croquette! So good. Service was quick. We got 4 senoritas to go! Love them! Quick, clean and delicious.

About a month ago, I placed an order for a custom cake for my son's birthday. We were so overjoyed and satisfied to see the excellent decoration, exactly what we asked for. We were all impressed by such delicacy and artistry on the cake. Thank you to the hands that brought us joy. Thank you so much.

Wow. This CAO bakery is just simply amazing. The bakery items were so fresh and tasted so good. I got a Pan Con Bistec and it was delicious. Simply the very best I have ever had. Cafe con leche was hot and flavorful. The staff was pleasant and very helpful. I got a birthday cake for my son. Everyone raved about it. This is going to be my new go-to Cuban Bakery. A+++++++++
