Florida Bakery Co

Loved the fresh pastels and quick service. Opens early so plenty of time to enjoy before work

Been coming here for Cuban sandwiches since I was a little girl. It's insane how the sandwiches are just as delicious as back then. I love to get a Cuban sandwich with an empanada or croquettes. I'm not the only one who enjoys a good Florida Bakery treat, the place is always packed! Yet the ladies behind the counters definitely know how to work the crowd and are great with tending to everyone in a timely matter.

Located on W. Waters Ave. east of Himes this bakery has been around for ages. A wide assortment of cakes and pastries fill the shelfs but most people come for coffee and breakfast or for a lunch sandwich. Of course, there is also fresh bread.My attraction is that they will make for me a childhood favorite, Mayorca a la Bonbonera. It's the Mayorca pastry sliced, buttered and pressed, then topped with powdered sugar. I love it with a cup of Cafe con Leche.In a strip center, parking in front, it is a quick and convenient stop for a tasty treat, breakfast, lunch or a party cake. They have bulk pre-wrapped goodies to choose from for the office or home. I always leave with a smile and a warm fuzzy feeling.

This spot was great when it was just Florida Bakery, but since Mailkel's took them over the food is not the same, even the pastries are mass produced so it doesn't have that mom and Pop taste. I ordered the Cuban sandwich and it was not tasty. The bread was terrible. The ingredients put in we're not fresh. I just wonder how you can F up a Cuban sandwich especially when you're a Cuban bakery. I tried the guava pastry and it all seems mass produced and not tasty at all. I wish they would have not sold out to Maikel's.

This local spot was happening! When we went on Saturday afternoon, there were half a dozen people in line waiting to order and even more waiting for their food!There is a separate line for the pastries but it turns out I could order pastry from the food line also. You just have to know what you want... Pastelitos De Guayaba!We also order Cuban sandwiches and a colada! Who can resist a large cup filled to the brim with amazing Cuban coffee? Not I! It had a beautiful crema and an amazing smooth flavor. I'll probably be awake for days but it was worth it. We wanted to try something we hadn't had before so we got quesitos which turned out to be cheese pastries. They are tasty and filling and I'm totally sure they are good for you too. Really. We love this popular local spot and the service is helpful and friendly even though I was the only person there struggling with my Spanish. They were quite patient with me. Life is good in West Tampa with local favorites!

A lo largo de los años Florida Bakery a decaído los dulces no tienen la misma calidad de años atrás. Compre estos dulces y cuando llego a casa que abro la caja horrible los dulces pésima calidad eran dulces viejos y duros y los pasteles de coco mal sabor horrible los tuve que botar $15 dólares gastados en basura

Best food and cheap priceShould go there for breakfast or bring home Friendly worker

I've been going to this place for years, over 18 yrs. In my opinions the best cakes! Super moist, great fillings... I love everything about this place, but it's definitely the consistency for me. It's never changed! I definitely recommend paying this place a visit. Follow me on IG for more food and hospitality @danda_gonti

I ordered through Uber eats. The only part that was good, was the Cuban coffee. The Cuban bread with Swiss cheese was disgusting & full of oil. The bread was horribly hard & stale. The sandwich was melted into the paper, so I had to keep ripping paper off of it. Half was cheese, half was just stale bread & butter, no cheese!! The half missing the cheese, had aluminum foil baked into it, as if it was someone's leftovers thrown in!!Threw the whole thing in the garbage!The churros were stale & hard & cold. The oil they were cooked in was disgustingly old.Basically only had coffee because I had to throw the churros away as well. WTH is wrong with this place!! Thumbs down & never again!!Seriously angry at this place! And I'll bet they never clean their coffee maker. !

$2.99 for a small coffee is pretty steep considering their small is more like an extra small. On the other hand, their tres leche was a little too sweet for me but pretty good. I would return to try their other stuff.
