La Bahia Bakery

Forgive me if I already shared this. I don't think I did. The cheesecake is banging. It's delicious, flavorful and goes right with some coffee. The service is on point and the place is always busy.

I have been here a couple of times and it's pretty good. It's spacious inside with lots of indoor seating. I have only had their sandwiches but not their baked goods. I had the bacon egg and cheese recently and I wished they hadn't done it hot pressed because it made the bread dried out. Otherwise the food is good and is ready quickly.

Impressed with the servings and prices! Definitely worth visiting and sharing with a small group. Flavors were good and so was the service.

I dropped by here because I wanted a little snack. I ordered a couple items from the bakery. Somethings were good. Some things were OK. I got the croquet as well, which are very good. I got a Quito and a guava pastry. They were OK a little bit on the dry side. The service was not great. The people that were taking my order didn't care to explain some things, didn't seem like they want to answer my questions. They seem short that day. I ended up ordering online. Which works out great because I also have pictures. It is a casual place with several tables that you can bring a bunch of people to sit down and have some hickory items. It's quite cute in there.

Stopped here recently while passing through. I had seen several yelp reviews and wanted to check it out for myself. I ordered a coffee and a few empanadas. The coffee was fantastic but the empanadas were just ok. The restaurant was bigger than I expected and had several patrons in line and seated and eating. I got there kinda late for breakfast but not quite lunch time. They were setting up the lunch area and I saw several dishes that looked and smelled appealing . I will certainly return and try some of those lunch dishes.

Went on Mother's Day. It was packed and lively. I love that they serve plates of food while also having sandwiches and bakery goodies. I also love that they have flancocho it was so good and moist! The Pio Pio sandwich was delicious and the pan de água was toasted to perfection. Will definitely be back. Plenty of parking in the plaza and tons of folks also ordering pick up.

Great service with a smile. Fried items not sitting in a warmer. Made fresh! Got potato ball, croquetas and pizza empanada. Also got boiled yucca, arroz con gandules and 2 different kinds of pasteles. Lots of pastries to choose from as well as drinks. Lots of things I wanted to try but gotta save it for next time!

I was in the area and saw this bakery and was eager to go in. I had some time before my appointment I had in the plaza so I figured I'd go in and check it out. Usually bakeries like this are on point and walking in, it smelled so good and the ambiance was nice so I was excited for my treat! I ordered a meat empanada & a slice of chocolate cake. When I bit into it, it was a cheese and pizza sauce empanada no meat & not what I ordered. It was okay but wouldn't order it again. Also the chocolate cake was so dry & underwhelming like it had been sitting there for days. I gave it three stars bc I didn't try any thing else but the two simple menu items I did try were disappointing and highly underwhelming.

We don't live in this area and came here to look at Carmax. We were starving and checked this place out. They were so helpful since we weren't as familiar with the bakery part and they mostly spoke Spanish. All the food we got was yummy! We had pork with the flavored rice and fried plantains, chicken empanadas and a sandwich that had 3 meats and the yummiest sauce. We also had a strawberry turnover and flan. Such a cute and clean place too! Definitely check it out!
