Rico Bakery

I’ve only been once but all the pastries we ordered were delicious and reasonably priced which it the best! The place was clean and the staff was friendly. I’ll definitely be back and look forward to trying other items.

10 bucks for a gourmet meal. Seriously amazing food, great coffee, welcoming service. I’ll definitely be back.

Amazing! Loved the chocolate ganache cake I ordered. Really a good deal and they even have a groupon.

What can i say, a pastelito de queso (sweet cheese pastry) is like bitting a cloud from heaven
Extremely moderate prices and if you go an hour before closing you get things half price
Fresh orange juice
Cuban coffee with the traditional window service
No seating but a sliver of a counter inside where you can put your materva as you woof down the croquetas

Super Tasty pastelitos, very addictive for real. Also recommend the miga sandwiches, pressed mmm so good! But service sucks. If you go, expect delays and lack of common sense, so be patient with the employees and other clients there. Also if you are in the mood for some serious Cubanaso (tacky ghetto kind) behavior, this is the place to be.

Best pastelitos ever!!! I live in Kendall but when I’m craving pastelitos fresh out of the oven I drive to Rico bakery even though is an hour away. My favorite is the cheese and meat pastelitos once I eat one I want more… Desserts are also delicious. Chocolate mousse, tiramisu, flan are great!!! Besides pastelitos and desserts they have great platters for bdays or special occasions. I went there for Christmas I took home a pork and ham made there with pastelitos party platters and my family was delightful to have such amazing food coming from a bakery. I recommend Rico bakery to everyone… I never get bored because like I can have their traditional pastelitos and desserts… Every time I visit I find myself tasting new sanwhiches, breads, even breakfast combos… Best quality bakery in Miami

Rico Bakery has the best pastelitos in Miami!
They’re always fresh and I’ll bet you can’t eat just one!
The cakes are amazing too!
Love their cheesecake and the chocolate cake is to die for…

3.5 cuban bakeries are quite competitive, and this place does well. only problem with the tres leches cake here is that the slightly torched whipped cream on top really was at least half the cake. so you had to really dig down and the ratio was off. also the sugar level was really high, also as evidenced by the crème brûlée with so much sugar on top.

First time going to this bakery for Cuban pastries. I knew about it from Groupon after seeing a half-​off deal from there. It’s in a plaza with a small parking lot in front. The first time I went there the lot was full and a car was leaving so I got a space luckily. The atmosphere here feels shady and ghetto though because there’s always these Hispanic old men hanging around the front of the plaza near the bakery. I’m keen to think they’re peddling drugs there or something, seeing how they’re just standing around not really socializing much. The bakery itself felt really clean. I went to the bakery around 10:30am and it wasn’t crowded at all, just one customer was inside and two ladies behind the counter helping out. The lady that helped me out spoke good English which I worry about when shopping at Cuban bakeries. I was leaving on a trip to Canada later that day and wanted to bring some local Cuban pastries for my hosts as a present. I took $ 30 worth of pastries home and had my dad split some for the family to try out. My dad was kind of complaining that there’s a pastry place around the corner and why I had to drive so far (15 – 20 min drive) to that particular pastry place and waste gas, etc. Later that night when I got to Canada and called home to tell him I got there safely, he told me the pastries tasted SO GOOD and went on to further detail why he thinks the pastry was good (my dad’s a chef). Something about using milk to make the flaky layer or something like that. After a three hour flight and one hour of baggage claim and drive to the house, I presented the pastries to my friend host. I felt full but decided to sit down and eat the pastries with her. The aroma was still there after so many hours (I think it was 4 or 5pm by then). We shared half a piece of each type of pastry; the more I ate my appetite seem to open up to want to try more. At the time, I didn’t feel like I ate anything spectacularly good but the pastries were definitely not bad. They were well made and tasted pretty palatable. But the next morning, we heated up the leftover pastries in the oven for breakfast and they tasted SO GOOD! I don’t know if I was just hungry or what but I wanted to eat more of it. My friend host was gobbling the pastries up too. I brought a huge box of 4 to 5 different pastries with 4 pieces of each type and we finished it up in 2 days. I had another Groupon for the party package which feeds about 25 people. You need to order this party package in advance because they need time to make the cake and pastries. I was a newbie so I didn’t know this and went there expecting to get it the same day but I was told to pick it up the next day. The cake didn’t taste that good; my mom said it tasted like it was made with nail polish as one of the main ingredients which I later can attest to, but I have a feeling this is how Cuban cakes must taste like. The pastries were miniature/​bite-​size versions of their full-​size counterparts. The pastries tasted good as usual. And to further rave the pastries, I consider my older sister to be the «pastry expert» of the house because she’s the first one to introduce us to Cuban pastries and she’s usually the one buying it home to eat. My mom brought some pastries over for her to try and she later asked me where I bought the pastries because they tasted so good. She said something about how it retains its crispness even after leaving it out for a few days. With all these people raving, it’s hard not to give this place five stars.

Empanadas the size of your head and great ham croquetas-​what more can you ask for?

One of my all time favorite Cuban bakeries in the neighborhood. This bakery has been in the «hood’ for years. The hood I refer to as Little Havana, where I grew up.
I can remember walking home from school with a buddy and always stopping in for a quick snack because we couldn’t just help but let the smell lure us in.
Their cuban pastries, ‘pastelitos’ are one of the best in the neighborhood. Flaky, crispy, with a shiny sweet coating on top that balances well with either salty or sweet filling. YUMMY!
The earlier you get there, the more of a selection of pastelitos you will get. Anywhere from a pastelito preparado; flaky pastry shell split in half with ham and cheese; pastelito de coco; chorizo; pollo; and of course the originals — carne, queso, guayaba, and guayaba y queso…
