Havana Carolina Bakery

Amazing authentic Cuban comfort food in Kannapolis! They're way better than the similar named eatery in Concord. I've been a few times and everything I've had has been superb and just as good as the spots in south Florida. I've had the empanadas, picadillo, Ropa vieja, and moros and everything is superb!

Delicious authentic cuban food. The cuban special sandwich is fantastic with roast pork. Coffee is great too.

I stopped in on my way home for a sweet treat. They had a variety of desserts but I went with the tres leches because rarely does that disappoint. Normally I'm a chocolate fan but the vanilla was perfection. 10/10 I'll be stopping here again

It's a great rest stop for caffeine and a snack off 85 in Kannapolis. It is located in a suspect looking shopping area, but it's at the end so it's easy accessible. We stopped in for Cuban coffee for a road trip, and we were not disappointed. The worker was so kind and ensured we were on the same page with the coffees (there was a small language barrier) but my hubby got the cortada and I ordered mine with steamed milk. Also decided we needed a snack-and the chicken empanadas we're the perfect mix of crispy and flaky pastry. We must return to try the Cuban!

This used to be my go to Cuban restaurant...the past several interactions have been extremely disappointing. Fortunately there are more options than when we first arrived.Here's a riddle, what do you call a Cuban restaurant that offers several types of Cuban sandwiches but is constantly out of Cuban style bread?

I absolutely LOVED our visit here for a family lunch. We were sat quickly and our food orders were taken promptly. We found their food to be very flavorful and truly taste home cooked which is important to my family and me. My entire family was very pleased with their meal selection. We visited on a Saturday around lunch and they had quite a bit of customer come in to purchase their pastries and delicious Cuban bread! There is ample parking as this location is in a strip mall. They have a couple of tables with umbrellas outside too! The nicest family owns this restaurant. They also offer catering. Cant wait to visit again very soon!

Have tried to order from this restaurant four times. Aside from having very limited operational hours, I have now had multiple orders canceled after the order was processed. Leaving my family waiting for food that did not come. Not sure if they no longer utilize the online delivery platforms, but they should then remove themselves if they are not an option. I give them two stars because as a Cuban American I would hope that they can correct this. And I expect that dining at the restaurant probably offers somewhat of a better experience. For now, it'll stay at 2 stars until they can get it together.

Been going to this little gem for years now. I realized I hadn't Yelp'd them. It's our favorite spot to have some foodies when we're missing home (Miami/). It's authentic, period. We're Cuban if that helps! We've had just about everything on the menu. Do not hesitate to try anything. Our favorite is el tamal, Cuban frita, steak sandwich, seriously everything... pastries, empanadas, batidos... we've never been disappointed. Today we went for simple, café con leche, tostada, croquettas, empanadas, and pastel de guava. We will continue to come here again and again.

Havana Carolina Bakery is the absolute most authentic Cuban food you can get in the Kannapolis/Concord/Charlotte area! I have never had a bad experience there, the owners are passionate about the food they put out and you can definitely see it! The owner, bakes the Cuban bread fresh every single morning which makes the world of a difference. This bakery is perfect for a quick pick me up breakfast or a quick lunch! If you're looking for fresh authentic Cuban food look no further!
