Love
these
Cuban
pastries!
To
be
transparent,
we
were
tourists
in
Miami
but
lived
in
LA
so
our
baseline
for
Cuban
pastries
is
Porto’s
bakery
lol.
Also,
we
are
non-Spanish
speakers-
If
you
can,
definitely
learn
to
order
in
Spanish
if
you
do
not
know
how
to
speak.
We
were
visiting
Miami
and
one
of
stops
was
in
Little
Havana.
There’s
a
lot
of
Cuban
bakeries
but
doing
my
research,
this
place
seemed
like
an
institution
so
we
decided
to
try
it
out.
When
you
arrive,
there’s
a
parking
lot.
There
seemed
to
be
three
entrances
-
a
restaurant,
the
main
bakery/cafe,
and
a
smaller
to-go
pastelito/coffee
only
place.
We
went
to
the
smaller
one
in
the
middle
at
first
but
ended
up
going
to
the
bakery
one
more
door
down.
There,
we
were
greeted
with
all
the
pastries,
and
other
goodies
at
the
far
end
of
the
display
case.
There’s
no
labels,
so
to
those
unfamiliar
with
Cuban
pastelitos,
make
sure
you
do
your
research
on
what
to
order
and
how
to
order!
We’re
used
to
Porto’s
bakery
in
LA,
so
the
terms
“cheese
roll”
and
“meat
pie”
caused
some
confusion
at
first.
Pastries
we
ordered:
-
pastelito
de
carne
(meat
pie)
-
pastelito
de
Guayaba
(guava
pastry)
-
jamon
croquettes
-
pastelito
de
queso
(cheese
roll)
-
empanadas
de
pollo
(chicken
empanada)
-
papas
rellenas
-
I
think
this
is
the
name?
(potato
balls)
Coffee-
Cortadito-
Cuban
espresso
with
a
little
bit
of
milk
Sandwich-
Cubano
sandwich
-
make
sure
you
specify
sandwich,
cubano
is
also
a
coffee
drink!
Food
review-
Wow
wow
wow
I
will
be
thinking
about
the
pastelito
de
guayaba
until
next
time
I’m
in
Miami.
The
guava
was
a
perfect
amount
and
the
pastry
was
so
flaky
and
flavorful.
To
me,
almost
everything
was
better
than
Porto’s!
I
only
prefer
the
Porto’s
pastelito
de
queso/cheese
roll
and
potato
balls.
I’d
say
the
Cubano
is
about
the
same
too.
I
also
liked
the
Cortadito,
it
was
pretty
smooth.
The
price
of
the
pastries
and
coffee
is
also
very
reasonable.
The
pastelitos
were
around
$1.25
each
and
so
was
the
Cortadito.
Highly
recommend.
I
wish
we
tried
other
Cuban
bakeries
in
Little
Havana
for
a
comparison,
but
we
loved
it
here!
