Arahi's Bakery

Discount Cuban Food.Three of us ate for $30 in total ... not too bad.Coffee, rice, beans and maduros were absolutely wonderful.Mains, soups and baked goods were meh.On the plain meat I got served for my main course (Liver with onions and green peppers), I forgot about the hot sauce on my table.I have little doubt that hot sauce would have helped a lot.* * *Arahi's is on the eastern fringe of Little Havana.Go west on Calle Ocho and you hit the epicenter of the Little Havana tourist zone.This part of Calle Ocho is to be avoided like the plague.Go farther west and you are in Cafe Versailles and La Carreta land.Once again Cuban paradise has been restored.* * *You are not here for legendary Cuban.You go to Havana Harry's for that.You are not here for portions that are massive beyond massive beyond massive.Again you go to Havana Harry's for that.You are here for everyday Plain Jane Cuban at an attractive price.The place is 2/3 full most of the time - which is pretty good.Nearly all of the customers are old Cubans.There is not a tourist to be seen.The menu is written in illegible handwriting on a plastic board.Bring your reading glasses.Bring your willingness to take random guesses as to what the more incomprehensible lines actually mean.But there is more to like than to dislike.If you ate here regularly, you would find the main dishes they have here that are actually pretty good.* * *If you go to one and only one Cuban restaurant in Miami,Arahi's bakery shouldn't be it.If live in Miami, you are not made of money, and the rent for your apartment is killing you,Arahi's looks better and better.

Stopped by from a friends recommendation. Got the vaca frita--- con maduros - no rice cause i'm on diet. It was scrumptious-- perfectly cooked soft with a little crisp and that oh so good lime .. next time i'll get it with arroz .They had a whole bunch of cakes and baked goods i could not eat-- i'm on a diet afterall

Cafecito was amazing perfect blend yummy!I'm going to come back later to try food and pick up bakery items for the peeps back home.

Didn't try many things but the guava pastellito was the best I've had in Miami. Guava cheese was also good but the guava was the winner. Would go back and try more!

Authentic Cuban bakery! Awesome breakfast, café con leche, pastries, and sándwich Cubano! Service was great and I felt right at home. Took some pastelitos de guayaba y queso with me. Will definitely be back!

Love this bakery every time I come to Miami I always stop here to have breakfast or grab something from the bakery. Service and food is always excellent!

Amazing family-owned bakery in Little Havana! I tried their colada (cuban coffee) and guava cheese pastry. Both were delicious. The guava pastry was a perfect treat with flakey pastry dough and it wasn't too sweet. They had so many pastries and cakes that I am looking forward to trying soon!

Pastelitos de guayaba y queso Colada served in a styrofoam cup! Very affordable. It gets busy but things move fast. Amazing breakfast spot on Calle Ocho!

the only piece of little havana left in little havana. Food is a memory trip with nostalgia. i love this place for a quick bite to go and coffee or to sit and enjoy the meal a littlelonger.

I was with one of my team mates last week and they mentioned they had never had Cuban food in Miami.This needed to change and fast. So we started our morning with breakfast from Arahi's bakery. Authentic and in the heart of Little Havana The mood was set with chickens crossing the street from where we parked, in front of the venue was an older man playing guitar and singing.We walked in and got in line, the ordering is much like a cafeteria or classic deli, "almost" everything on display in deli glass encasements. If you don't speak Spanish, learn to or get good at pointing because this is super authentic and some of the staff do not speak English. Make sure you come for the croquettes, the empanadas, papa rellenos (potato balls deep fried with meat filling) the pastries are heavenly (guava and cheese, coconut, flan) the Cubano sandwich, the cafecito (Cuban espresso, black and sweetened with Demerara sugar during brewing) AKA jet fuel. Fresh juices, Any of the house specials - vaca frita, chicken soup)And the price point is beyond reasonable .... This is your best start to the day for Cuban when visiting Miami or anywhere in the USA for that matter
