    Moreno's Bakery has a wide selection of food, pastries, and other sweets. They have inside and outside seating for you to enjoy your food immediately, or you can have it boxed to go. Make sure you grab your number to get in line. Even on a busy Friday, the line moved quickly.

    This isn’t the first time we ordered from Moreno Bakery. Last heat during the shutdown, we ordered catering for my hubby’s birthday and everything was delicious. We were thankful to be able to celebrate, even at home. This year, our daughter turned 6 and we ordered a cake and cupcakes for her birthday. Even with our last minute request, they were able to accommodate us. Cake came out beautiful, delicious and our birthday girl loved it, so did the guests. We are definitely repeat customers and appreciated the business that treats their customers with respect and integrity. We highly recommend this business, you won’t be disappointed.

    Roast Pork so fatty disrupted my meal; more Sweet potatoes on my order, yet 2nd order had plenty of Ox Tails. Soup anyone??? Not for me major Wheat & Milk Allergy.

    I finally found a REAL Bakery!! It is large and so is the selection! I was so excited to see hot foods area on left side of restaurant, bakery on the right. There is a big area to sit for dine in, as well as plenty of outdoor seating. We selected two hot dishes of chicken marsala and vegetable lasagna. Then over to baked goods ! There was a huge selection of pastries and breads. We chose the peanut butter cupcake, black and white cookie as well as chocolate brownie cookie. The cakes looked amazing! They even do wedding cakes. Whenever we are in Brandon, we will make a trip to this bakery.

    Every-time I’m in the area I have to stop by. Their bakery is amazing and so is the food. I was debating if I should buy the seafood chowder she offered me to taste it. And I liked it so I purchased it. Their sweet mashed potato is awesome.

    I got 2 boxes of almost everything as a sampler for my bday. Everything was FRESH and delicious! I was so happy to receive this box as a surprise! MY FAVE IS THE OOEY GOOEY BUTTER CAKE (the lemon blueberry especially but all of the butter cakes/bars are delish. A small piece and I'm good!) Dec 2022 - Ordered tons of gingerbread cookies for my daughter's Holiday party this week. They're so cute!

    Big selection of sweets! Guava turnover was great. Sweet and flaky. Portuguese sandwich was my favorite.

    I'm moving out of state this week so I had to stop at Moreno's one last time today. The food is quality Tampa Cuban-American cuisine and their sweets are amazing. I had a beef empanada today. It was the best one I've ever had. The crust was flaky and slightly sweet. The beef filling was flavorful as well. We love to get the Cuban sandwiches here as well. Their bread is fresh and delicious. I'm going to miss this place. Definitely worth a visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Great hometown Bakery & Hot food right in the heart of Brandon💙 Food is delicious always come for the Cubans and the guava pastries are on point! Recently ordered from the catering menu for a work event. They were so accommodating even though I was last minute and the job raved about the mini stuffed potatoes and loved the Greek Salad! Thanks for the consistently tasty food 😋

    Ordered via Uber Eats and was not disappointed at all! Delicious Cuban! Crusty bread that was soft and flavorful! Pulled pork and ham was delicious…and the Cuban was sauced just right! Also really enjoyed the cupcakes, moist with not-too-sweet frosting! I look forward to visiting in person!!

    Busy, busy place with slightly confusing process on which line to be in. Caveat, this was my first time there. Food wise it all looks wonderful with bakery on one side and hot dishes the other, sandwiches in the middle. Went with a standard cuban sandwich. The bread is outstanding, the meat and cheese as well. I ordered no mayonnaise but it seemed they substituted extra mustard making it a little heavy on that condiment. I will be back next time over that way to try other things.

    This place is always a 10/10. Birthday cakes, wedding cakes, custom cutout cookies, whatever we’ve wanted they’ve been able to deliver. Their service is always polite, professional and timely! Every time we serve their baked goods, we get compliments. I would highly recommend choosing this bakery for your next event!

    Their Cuban sandwich was absolutely fabulous! It was delicious! Fresh pressed, hot and full of sumptuous flavors. Exactly what I had hoped to find on my first visit. With all of the choices and varieties of Cuban food available in our area you are sure to find highs and lows in the ways proprietors present their cuisine. Definitely the Cuban sandwich was a high. I'm sure there are many more A-plus goodies, including the taste-tempting baked goods on display! Along with the Cuban sandwich, I got a cup of the Black Bean soup. For me, the soup was a watered-down letdown. The soup base was almost clear with no viscosity to it. The flavors were not bad, but I am used to almost always getting a soup with a thicker base elsewhere. A heavier soup base carries the bean flavors so much better and gives this soup the heartiness it deserves and typifies. Judging from the incredible Cuban sandwich, I feel bad mentioning even slightly negative issues. BUT, what's the point of a review if it's not factual? My first impression, or anyone's first impression on their first visit is the person at the point of sale. THEY are the face of the place, representing the owner and all their hard work. Their interaction with a customer sets the mood. AND, in many cases, a desire whether or not to return. The girl at the register that I interacted with was quite bland. I made some hopefully positive comments about the place to which she stood looking at me like a zombie. I'd rate her customer service skills as needing some training and insight. Secondly, I simply wanted water to drink. I'd have preferred a cup so I could have gotten ice and water from the fountain drink machine. Instead, I was offered to purchase a bottled water. Not an issue, but the water was luke cool. Like drinking out of a garden hose. My BIGGEST issue? Moreno Bakery should consider some more environmentally friendly ways to deliver the food. Tons of paper and plastic handed out, so people can walk 30 feet away to a table, consume the contents, then discard it. ALL of which likely ends up in a landfill. They are not alone in this practice; it happens most everywhere. But I did find it extremely wasteful to put my Cuban sandwich in a paper wrapper, then place that wrapper into a large paper bag. All so I could walk to a table, pull the Cuban sandwich out of the paper bag, then throw the paper bag away! That's a whole lot of paper bags going to waste. Okay, enough of the negative. I'm definitely looking forward to a return visit to Moreno Bakery. This time, I will take in some of the hot food offerings they dish up family style. AND, I'll bring a friend who'll HELP me get through some of those decadent desserts! Oh, yes.....

    You can sit here and gain 10lbs easily! It's huge inside with an infinite variety of food and especially pastries and desserts. Quick and friendly service tops off this wonderful eating experience.

    I have been to Moreno’s before but I’ve never had their savory foods. We shared a breakfast sandwich (plenty big) and also had the guava and cream cheese danish. The danish was light and not too sweet. We each had a cafe con leche which was a lovely way to start our morning. The Cuban bread was for later which paired nicely with butter as well as a bourbon bacon spread. I want to return for lunch and try the yuca and empanadas. This place definitely doesn’t disappoint!

    Ordered a chocolate mousse cake and 2 dozen jumbo cupcakes (1 - French vanilla with rainbow vanilla icing/ 1 - Amaretto) the week I needed them and Susan said she could make it happen! First time trying this bakery and definitely recommend 10/10. Everyone said these were the best and most moist cakes they’ve ever had.

    So much of everything to choose from!! But the lady let me taste them before I decided. Their coffee is also tasty.

    I'm going to provide 2 reviews for this Restaurant/ Bakery. The Food is okay, I expected more favorable food that would have been seasoned. The bake goods were amazing and that why it has 4 stars. I will be back for the sweets!

  • 4/5 Lisa M. 5 months ago on Google
    Enjoyed some birthday cake from this place recently. It was good. I liked it but didn’t love it. I hope to get there soon to see what other goodies they have to offer. I’ve heard they are fantastic. I can’t wait to find out for myself.

👍👍 What a great place. Only one of its kind I have ever seen. Great ford theme throughout even down to the ford car horn. The menu has many options to choose from.
