Rickys Miami Bakery

Under new management and the food is delicious! Came for an easy brunch and the media noche sand which was so tasty! Polished off brunch with alfajores (the best I’ve had outside of Argentina)! I’ll definitely be coming back!

I truly hope the staff reads this… Please stop serving old coffee too your customers!!! It takes only a minute to brew a new colada. And you don’t even put sugar inside when I ask. You should be ashamed to serve such bad Cuban coffee!!!

I would think judging a Cuban eatery by their Cuban sandwich would be a gold standard. Well there are honestly two places in northern Broward, that are not even Cuban places, whose Cuban sandwich blows Ricky’s away. The service was friendly but there was only one other party there. I suppose it is fine to stop in for a pastelito and cafecito, but here’s a protip to owner: Less trendy décor more quality food!

With other cafes closer to my job in Midtown, I still find myself walking here when I am in need of my crack, I mean colada fix. With a wide variety of pastries, pastelitos, and sandwiches to choose from, I have never been disappointed. I also bring my water bottle and fill it from the huge jug of ice cold water they have. Always refreshing since they throw in oranges or lemons.
Can buy a whole or half colada. I usually buy a half colada and a guava and queso pastelito. Ok, maybe more than one but whose counting? I have also tried their Cubans, medianoches, and croissants, all which were good. Nice spot which is definitely worth stoping by if you’re in the area. Worth nothing they serve «real» meals as well but I have never personally eaten a sit down meal there.

Excellent place for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Very reasonably priced! Ordered chicken breast and came with 2 sides only $ 10! I asked for no butter and they accommodated no problem! Food was still delicious and cooked to perfection!!! Highly recommend!

I ordered several desserts and a birthday cake for a party I was hosting for friends. When we cut into the cake, all my guests commented that the cake tasted like spraypaint – that’s right spraypaint and it was true. It tasted like it had been covered with chemicals. When I called just to let the manager know that I had been disappointed, not expecting anything. He told me «I should have» done this and «I should have» done that, not taking anything upon them and putting all the burden of the bad cake on me. I was horrified as a host, and more horrified by his reaction when I called. When I asked to speak to the overall Manager I was laughed at and told that I could not because I don’t speak Spanish. Needless to say, I will not be going back.
Advice to your overall owner, fire this Manager and Floor Manager immediately.

Stay away.
I’ve never seen a manager treat his customers so rudely. Anywhere. When you go to a restaurant you not only want to enjoy the food, but feel good about supporting a small business with good people. Here, you walk out smelling like a greasy spoon, and you get a kick in the a** out the door from a tough-​guy manager with a black t-​shirt.

Never returning.
Our usual server who would receive tips along the lines of 50% of the total tab decided to stick us with the busboy and some Hispanic women that typically works the bakery.
The place was a disorganized circus.
We ordered and our regular server got us our drinks. When our food was ready it sat under the heat lamps completely ignored for a good fifteen minutes plus. The area under the heat lamps was over flowing with plates of food that no one was bringing to the tables. So much so I watched the kitchen staff begin to get annoyed while trying to perform a balancing act with the plates. Finally, the busboy and bakery staff brought us our food. It was so terribly made that my husband gagged on the only bite he was able to take. Our fries were cold in the center and showed signs of only being in the fryer for a minute. We asked for the check so we could leave this awful experience and I ended up having to go to the register just so I could leave faster. Our regular server started talking about how I’m one of his regulars with the busboy who then made a comment about the table that left all their food. I responded to my so called regular server «you’re talking about my table the food was terrible» signed my bill and left.
Honestly, I shouldn’t have even payed for the terrible food. I have never seen my husband having to fight back spitting out food onto his plate.

Great customer service, our waiter was super nice. The food was good we had a chicken mildness and bocadillo Frances. The milanesa was good but unfortunately the bocadillo was very bad.
My boyfriend ordered a beefed and got another one free, he can’t wait to go back.

I came across this place because I originally was going to eat next door at the Italian place, but I was starving and wanted something quick. It took a while for the server to come out but she was so sweet that it actually didn’t bother me that much. I ordered a Picadillo and my boyfriend ordered the Milanesa. Since we were falling asleep, we also went for a espresso right before our meal. Te coffee was okay, I mean you can’t fuck up something so simple. The Picadillo however was kinda overpowering. The potatoes were huge quarters of starchiness instead of small slivers how they are supposed to be. The tomato sauce was about double the portion they should’ve used. Overall, I honestly wouldn’t eat here again if it wasn’t because I literally stumbled upon it. My boyfriends Milanesa had a fatty cut of steak covered up with the fried batter. I took the rest to go anyways because there was no way we could eat all of that. The only reason they got an extra star is because the maduros were cooked perfectly. If I had only tried the maduros and nothing else, it would’ve been five stars. Man cannot live off maduros alone though.

Service/​staff are horrible. Excellent location, but terrible food (and desserts)
Waitress/​cashier is cute but has a bad attitude and the rest of the staff are clueless .
Cuban pastries are just no good.

Love the place and the food! But Ricky if you are reading this you need to do something with the staff. It’s not open on time and additional to opening late they make me wait 30 min extra for pastry. I have never seen this happened in the coral way location. The cashier lady today 12÷08÷14 is the worst.

The prices when up a little but when your coming up on the midtown area you gotta charge fair so its not a bug deal. Service is ok but it should be getting better soon, the breakfast is delicious the pastrys are just amazing. Love the vibes here. i cant stop eating here love it.

What IS UP with the staff here? They’re always soo preoccupied with doing anything else but come right back to you after you’ve requested a refill, or sugar for your coffee, or the check.
The food is decent enough but the service is super lacking. It’s one thing if they’re busy, you expect the service to be slow, but both times I’ve been there it’s been on a sleeping weekend morning where the place is less than half full.
I don’t get it. Hopefully they’ll get it together.

This place is a pig in lipstick– I’d kiss it if I were in a bind, but I wouldn’t like to. Nice decoration, prime location, but terrible food. Trust me, go to a small mom & pop bakery. My colada was bitter, my eggs were bland and undercooked, and the Cuban French toast was tasteless and soggy. We also got a guava dessert which was pretty bland.
My boyfriend ordered the #1 breakfast and just wasn’t satisfied. The fries were pre-​frozen with no salt, and the rest of the plate was blah.
This place is just… No.

This is me and my girl’s new favorite brunch spot in midtown. Now under new management, it is a stand out place in an area full of over priced joints with subpar food. Brunch and lunch have excellent menus and they always have a daily special that is a great value. Has a chill atmosphere inside or you can sit outdoors and enjoy the warm fresh air. We have yet to try their pastries though but I’m sure we will cave in soon for a piece of cake.
The management is friendly and always attentive when you walk in, even got complimentary mimosas on our first visit! Very good food, great prices, nuff’ said.

I love this place. Now I have only eaten here for breakfast and lunch so I can’t comment on anything else.
But for breakfast they are amazing. They have the best Cuban pastries! Oh man are they good and reasonably priced as well. They also have breakfast plate which are also yummy. For lunch there sandwich are to die for! Have yet to eat something that wasn’t delicious.
Now they get 4 stars because their service is sooo unreliable. I have had the best service their and the absolute worst.
But the food is just so good I do not care about the service. I’ll go anyways and serve myself if i have to!
Update: Deion (sp) is the best server ever! We have brunch either Saturday or Sunday and Deion really knows how to take care of us. He gets us seated takes our order which is difficult bc the guys i go with are picky and change things up a lot he always gets it right. If the kitchen is slow he lets us know and brings some sweet pastries. Even if he is not our server he checks in with us to make sure we have everything we need. Often times it seems like he is the only one on top of things, and he will do whatever it takes to ensure a smooth turn over. He really should be in an management position bc if all the wait staff was as good as he is this place would never get stars off bc of service.

Ricky Bakery (not to be confused with Vicky Bakery in Hialeah or Vecky Bakery in Pembroke Pines) is pure Souwesera. Don’t let the fancy paint job and the chandeliers fool you: this place was forged in the same fires that gave us Valsan and el Miccosukee.
Yes, that’s right, Ricky Bakery: I see you! I know who you really are!
And I love you. I do.
Now, I’m not sure if the Shops at Midtown is the appropriate spot for this place to have opened. I kind of feel like Ricky should’ve gone the Enriqueta’s route and found a nice street corner on the outskirts of midtown.
(It’s not lost on me that I’ve likened Ricky’s to a prostitute.)
Still, though, I’m ecstatic to have this place nearby. I can’t think of any other bakery-​type place in the neighborhood where I can chase some croquetas, empanadas, and pastelitos with a colada and where it’s socially acceptable to walk in wearing a tank top and chancletas mended with duct tape.
Stay true to your identity, Ricky. Please, Ricky. Drop the tapas theme and install another eighty-​year-​old sandwich press. Just keep doing what you’ve done since the first of our people came over en el tiempo del Peter Pan.
See you this Sunday.

My first thought about this place is FINALLY! Midtown has been needing a legit Cuban bakery for years at this point, and established Westchester/​Kendall staple Ricky Bakery has stepped in to fill the void.
The only reason this isn’t a five star place is because of the service. Shockingly enough, very little english is spoken here (even though they’ve moved out of Westchester), and everyone seems pretty confused and will probably get your order wrong if you’re not paying attention. The former is true of almost all Cuban bakeries so whatever (especially because you can point to almost anything you want sitting in the window, as opposed to ordering in a restaurant off a menu, where this would def be unacceptable), but the latter really needs improvement.
The food, however, is fantastic. All of the pastelitos and croquetas are delicious (and this is really the main thing that sets a good bakery apart from a poor one), and the selection is very, very extensive. It’s a huge bakery with almost anything you might want available. If you like fish definitely try the croquetas de bacalao — which is something I’ve rarely seen elsewhere. It’s like the most delicious fish stick you’ll ever have.
As much as the service is meh, I’ve been waiting for this for too long. You’ll probably see me here every Sunday morning from now on.

Dear Owner,
Please work on your service look at your reviews Oy the people that work here are so slow. No one has a clue to what they are doing. We stopped in for a coffee and a pastry. I opted not to try the pastry because to be honest I don’t know how well the turn over is here. They have hundreds of pastries but not that many customers. The people that work here are CLUELESS, like get a clue seriously. We had a coffee, and a pastry we tried for 30 minutes to pay. Their service is the absolute worst ever !!!
