I have been fortunate enough to have enjoyed this artistry for the last eight years. Vanessa’s creative, flavorful, and rich mixture of pastries and bakery are at the top of the craft. She is a patissier who delights in an ample array of deserts that go between sweet and savory; she can handle it all. I love her guava creations, especially the Dominican cake with dulce de leche and almonds. And to close this up, if you love literature, the great Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote that if Latin America had a flavor and smell; it was Guayaba!

This bakery is so delectable that I went back the next day after my first visit. I had the guava cheesecake and it was lovely and light. The brownie is everything a brownie should be, and the ginger cookies were perfect. We also ordered the lime square which was light and perfect. This is a very high quality bakery with balanced flavors and sweetness. I can't give a high enough review. The cappuccino and espresso drinks are also perfect.

The best dulce de leche cake in Nova. Vanessa and her team are all very professional and very responsive. Glad to have a bakery like this in northern VA

Great add to the Stryker’s Square. Absolutely delicious. Point with your eyes closed, and any item that is chosen will be just fantastic. The owners are super welcoming and accommodating, which makes the experience even better. The latin twist is an extra plus. A zero disappointment bakery.

This bakery is awesome!! I posted on a Facebook foodie group looking for a place to get really good cheese flan. I moved from Florida recently and was craving to have one. The owners of Guava replied and said they could make it . I placed an order with them right away and woooow! The flan is amazing! Some of the best flan I've ever had. Took a picture half way through the flan 😋 Highly recommend everyone to give them a try and support a local small business. The owners are great too! Thank you and I'll be back to try some more stuff 😁

As a foodie who loves to try new bakeries I was so excited to try Guava. The owner is friendly and so kind, and the bakery is a cute space nicely decorated. I ate a guava croissant that was absolutely amazing and I only wish I had bought more. This is a hidden gem and I would definitely recommend them and will be back next time I’m the area. I’m sure the cakes are delicious too!

This bakery is 5 star for a reason!! Cutest bakery, absolutely incredible staff best service I have ever had!! Very friendly and personable! The actual baked goods are just exquisite, soft, sweet, fluffy & delicious! You can taste the love in them!! Definitely coming back to try the rum tres leches! Thank you Guava for an amazing experience and having incredible quality!

This cute little bakery is beaming with flavor. They have authentic baked goods to choose from as well as a few with a spin like guava blondies! They also had some cupcakes. My husband really liked those. I tried the guava blondie and it was delicious. Also their alfajores which were also tasty. It was late at night so I didn’t get to try their coffee or their coconut rum tre leches.

My wife just came home with a batch of goodies from this bakery, and everything we’ve tried today was amazing! The Guava Empanadas are so good you’ll want to savor every bite. I’m Cuban and was expecting to get the usual Latin pastries you get in this area, but this bakery is very unique and creative. Everything is so beautifully prepared that you almost don’t want to ruin it by eating it. I don’t write a lot of reviews, but this place just blew me away. So glad we found them and it’s only about 10 minutes away from us in Vienna, so we’ll be back soon.

As a Latina from SFL I can vouch that this place is the real deal. This is a wonderful family owned bakery that makes amazing treats. The flan tastes just like what I beg my tia to make me over the holidays. The key lime pie makes me feel like I’m driving back home from the FL Keys with a nice sunburn. Even their basic cupcakes are delicious and have a special something in them that makes the flavor standout. Also the family that owns this is an absolute delight. We went for the first time last week and already went back this weekend. Consider us loyal customers. Highly recommend!
