Versailles Bakery

Great place to fill up on all your favorite Cuban pastries, desserts, and of course, Cuban coffee. You step in the store and immediately feel the warm energy of the people and the aroma of the food. It’s right next to the Versailles restaurant and both places always seem to be packed. There are small tables inside but it’s rare to find a seat. The way it works is you pick up a ticket and wait patiently for your turn to order. The staff speaks minimal to no English and there have been incidences where my order was wrong. However, everything is yummy so even if they just filled my box with whatever they felt like, I’d still be happy. One thing I discovered here and have only tried from here are the spinach empanadas, super delicious and not at all a health food, consisting of deep fried dough filled with cheese and spinach. But seriously, probably some of the best spinach empanadas you will ever taste.

Can’t begin to describe how amazing this place is. Went there two days in a row as well as bought a ton back to ny. Great service and great food. Extremely well priced. Everything I had was great but my favorite has to be the flan de coco.

Typical Cuban bakery, great products and the ladies behind the counter know their stuff. Recommend it if you are looking for a place to go.

For anyone familiar with Chicago’s neighborhoods or South Asian people — Versailles for the local Cuban population reminds me of what Tahoora is for the South Asian population in the Midwest.
You’re not going to find space to sit (if you do, you’re lucky) so make sure that your order reflects that. Tres leches is yum and will hit your sweet tooth and then some. The spinach empanadas are fresh. Flan is meh. Their desserts, as a whole, are good and the cortadito will chase it all down just right.
Not a surprise, but many of the people behind the counter don’t speak a lick of English and will move on to the next person when they realize you don’t speak Spanish. Make sure to bring your patience along with you on a trip to Versailles.

I only had the cupcakes, and normally I wouldn’t write a review based on one item, but the cupcakes were really good, and everything else LOOKED really good. Definitely look forward to coming back here and trying other things next time I’m in Miami.

So good and so cheap. I love all of the pastries here — get the guava pastries warmed up and get a lot of ‘em! There is a bit of a language barrier if you don’t speak Spanish, but I was able to communicate enough to get the amazing treats. Open late with little tables for sitting and chatting, don’t miss Versailles (bakery OR restaurant) on your trip to Miami.

All of their pastries are fresh and yummy. Top notch pastellitos de guayaba. Love coming here when I’m craving some cuban treats.

Pastries are so yummy! Tres leche was better than normal. They mostly spoke Spanish but understood us okay

This place could not be any more magical if it wanted to. It is a small mom & pop style bakery and when I walked in the door I was surrounded by amazing smells. The options of the items they sell is so vast it was hard to pick anything for us to share. My husband picked out a guava puff and croquettes. The guava puff was light and crisp on the outside. Inside it had this wonderfully sweet filling. It was really perfection. The croquettes were good as well some of the best I have ever had. I wish that we would have purchased more than two. I would come back for sure to try the other options they offer or even buy a giant cake!

Versailles Restaurant has been open since 1971, located in Little Havana area of Miami. The bakery is attached to the restaurant and is great for quick in and out service.
I’m a big fan of their Cuban Coffee! I ordered a Ham and Cheese pastry on the side.
The folks behind the counter were really nice. Some were local Cubans… I had the opportunity to go with National Geographic Expeditions to Cuba a few years back as an educational trip, so it was neat to have some impromptu casual conversation.
Since I was traveling by myself at the time, one of the gentleman behind the counter (who appeared to be the owner or manager), he gave me a long history about Cuba and its food. It was really awesome to listen to someone so passionate about their culture and be knowledgeable about the food.
Really awesome local flavor!

Cortadito & a pastry what more can I say?
I wish I spoke spanish but I pretty much have ordering food in español down by this point. This place is usually crowded but they are quick and friendly. Very, very good.
If you don’t want the cortadito for some reason Cuban coffee is some of the best here at this place. I recommend the Café Con Leche as well.

Fantastic Tres Leche dessert and the coffee is amazing. Enjoy!

Wow, this place is amazing. When I vacation in Miami it is always the first place we go to for breakfast in the morning (beef /​chicken empanadas for breakfast probably isn’t the best but oh well). Their café con leche is delicious and I normally only drink iced coffee. The empanadas are cheap and crispy and delicious. The homemade fresh squeezed right in front of you orange juice is absolutely amazing and I honestly HATE orange juice. It is so good. Try this place and you will not be disappointed.
EDIT: I just tried the tres leches and it was so delicious– also very cheap. Yum.

If you’re in Miami it’s worth trying this place out early in the morning. Cuban coffee and all the local talk of the town. Definitely felt like a local staple.
Coffee was excellent if your looking for Cuban coffee, the empanadas and pastries were alright.
Great inexpensive light breakfast place.

Located directly next door to the famous Versailles Restaurant, this required a visit after having lunch next door.
Make sure to grab a number because they call out numbers based on order. But make sure to do so after you know what you want to order. It’s a bit overwhelming because of the cases filled with so many sweet and savory yummies. I ended up having a guava pastry with a café con leche. Delicous, delicious, delicious! There are a small amount of tables here but they fill up fast so you can either get your items to go or stand at the counter along the wall.
My only regret was not driving out of our way to pick up some goodies to bring back home. Next time…

Traveled to Little Havana for this bakery because we heard that they sell authentic, Cuban pastries and desserts. They didn’t disappoint! The prices are so reasonable and the food is delicious. Loved the chicken pastelito and tres leches cake. The café con leche here is as good as it gets.
The one thing that we didn’t like from here was the guava pastry. In comparison to the other guava pastries we had before this one, the one at Versailles had too much guava filling for our liking.
Don’t expect five star service because the setting here is super laid back and chill. Overall, not a bad place to take a snack break when in Miami.

The café Cubano is a must try (order one with evaporated milk). It is rich and perfectly sweetened. The beef empanada is tasty as well, with a delicate crust that crumbles when you bite into it, revealing the nicely seasoned minced meat inside. To finish my food adventure, I also ordered the guava pasty (this was OK, nothing compared to my empanada, hehe). All in all, this is a great place for a yummy bite!!! Minus one star because the ladies that work here are rather rude. Yes, you’re busy, so I need to make my order quick, but you’re seriously going to give me attitude because I’m taking an extra second to grab exact change to pay you? Ay-​yi-​yi senoritas!

This is quintessential Cuban Miami and is a must stop if you are in the area and want some local flavor. You’ll be greeted by tons of cases full of both sweet and savory pastries and street-​food snacks. Stay for a cortadito, if you please. If you love pastelitos, you will be delighted at the freshness and variety that Versailles Bakery offers. Some say theirs is the best Cuban coffee in the city and if you don’t happen to think so, it is very good nonetheless.
I’m a fan of empanadas and croquetas and these don’t disappoint. The tres leche cake is super sweet, but it compares to any other good one you’d get in Miami and will probably have you half-​way to a cavity about a quarter way in. I also like that you can find the cone-​shaped soaked sponge-​cake capuchinos here, a Cuban dessert that I had never tried in Atlanta but found in abundance at the right places in Miami.
Spanish helps immensely and if you’re not Cuban, you may get some side-​eye from possibly both patrons and workers, but stand tall and order what you want with balls! You’ll be rewarded with authentic Cuban food at amazing prices. I can’t wait to come back the next time I go to Miami.

I didn’t live until I met the wonderful little intravenous glucose drip that is Cuban coffee. But for real. I’m pretty sure I’ve been walking through life half asleep up to this point.
Don’t be disappointed when the fabulous ladies behind the counter give you your teeny tiny cup of caffeine. No need for a venti here. That little sucker packs a punch. But the sweetest little punch you could possibly imagine. Like if you got whacked by a 4’11″ Cuban abuela wearing a floral print head scarf and smoking a Cohiba who then proceeds to shove delicious croquetas in your mouth… Who wouldn’t want that?
Speaking of croquetas, you should probably get some of those too. And pretty much every other pastry in that beautiful case of goodness.

A nice option to pass the time while you’re waiting for a table at Versailles! If you go around the back of the bakery, it connects with the restaurant and that was a good place for our group to wait together where we could still hear the host call out names.
This is a no-​frills bakery. Very plain in décor, especially compared to Versailles the restaurant, like an everyday diner. I like that – they are all about the quality of their baked goods!
* Guava Pastry — 4 stars
pic:
Fantastic buttery, flaky, soft crust! Just enough of a crisp to the outermost later, and the rest of the dough is heavenly soft and stretchy. The filling is thick, quite sweet, but just about right.
* Beef Croquette — 4 stars
pic:
Also fantastic, though very oily! The potato filling was very moist and smooth, the filling flavorful, and the outside a nice even crisp. A great savory option.
