Had stopped at the optometrist next door quick, and figured it was early and always like a good bakery. Wow, just delicious. Wife got the guava and cheese pastelito(?) , not sure what our daughter and son got. I tried the sour cherry and pistachio tart. Wish we could have tried more, or had we known, stopped in every morning on our way out to see the sights! 😁

We came here every time we visit OB. Their coffee and food are so good. Especially the meat pie!! I forgot my drone and 360 camera on the outdoor chair. They kept it for me. So nice of them!

Delicious Cubano sandwich with nice crisp pickles. Praise worthy Peanut flavored patisserie. Would have loved to try more but We have already had so much food 🤣

Cute. Cozy. Local cafe serving Cuban coffee and pastries like guava cheese danishes, Cuban pie and even gluten free. They have Cafe con leche that tastes just like they do it in Miami (I’ve never been to Cuba). Great location in old Ocean Beach. I walked over after shopping at Target. Desserts are so yummy and look pretty too.

Worth the hype, good selection of Cuban pastries. The guava cream cheese pastelitas are great! The cherry pistachio tea cake was also very moist and flavorful

Fantastic cuban pastries! Their scones are world class. Also delicious cakes and good coffee - can highly recommend this bakery

This place is absolutely worth the wait. I went here 3x this past weekend while visiting from out of town because it was that freaking good and took a ton home on the plane for friends. Every sugary delight in the front window facing display case is fantastic in addition to the Cubano meat pies, the scones, and some of the other pastries on the line side. Cookies are good but wasted calories compared to their other offerings. Absolute favorites: pistachio cherry tea cake, butterscotch bun with cornflake crack, bourbon butterscotch custard with salted caramel, the Divina, Turron, Diablo, and the peach champagne scone.

Cozy space with a few sidewalk tables featuring Cuban inspired pastries and coffee. Service wait on a Sunday morning only took a few minutes, it allowed me time to browse their delicious display of pastries. Coffee Toffee Scones, Ginger Pumpkin, Passion fruit Raspberry, Cuban Meat Pies, and many more sweet and savory offerings. I'm a bit of a Scone aficionado and these are some of the best scones I've ever had. Not too sweet, not dry. Flavorful and well balanced. 5 stars! Parking is on street so be prepared to park a bit away and walk. There are many niche shops in the area so it makes for a nice stroll.

I'm so happy I randomly stumbled upon this place! I was looking for a cute pastry place to get pastries for my husband's birthday. He's not big on the traditional cake and since it was just the two of us celebrating tonight I wanted to get something small yet to tasty. The original pastry place I was going to was closed. So I just Googled somewhere that was relatively close and found this place! And omg, their pastries are amazing! I definitely will be back to try other items. This time I tried the Cuban tiramisu and they are tres leches pastry.

I NEEDED Cuban coffee. I was staying in La Jolla and found this spot when I did a search. SO happy I made the run here. Service was quick but more importantly so pleasant. “Meat pie” was killer! The Cortadito was excellent and EXACTLY what I needed.

The pistachio mascarpone with passion fruit cream was delicious!! The flavor was unique and definitely worth trying. Haven't tried any other of their pastries. But I will definitely order some when in the area. Looks and feels like a small bakery shop worth supporting!!

Delicious coffee and sweet pastries, a few savory pastries. We got coffee, the guava cheese pastry is a must and we got a beautiful tiny cake that was just right for two. The passion fruit flavor was on point. I would come back here, so many things I wanted to try

I went here two days in a row during my weekend trip to Ocean Beach. Both days there was a line out the door (and on day two I was there before they opened!). The classic Cuban pastry (guava & queso) is delectable. I tried both the guava-only and guava/queso...I would get both again. I also tried the everything eloté quiche pastry with egg, corn and peppers baked in, and it was divine. My latte was delicious, too. Coming here for a treat is never a mistake! Enjoy for me since I can't come back daily for more sweets!

If I lived in San Diego, I’d be here ALL the time. The pastries were truly incredible, some of the best I’ve ever had. And the Cubano sandwich was delicious. Don’t be in a hurry…. It takes a while. But it’s worth it the wait. For the faster takeaway items, the cubano meat pie was super tasty, as was the strawberry rhubarb almond tart. 👌🏼

I’m Japanese , plus I bake! So I’m very picky with baked goods and I always think American baked goods are too sweet, but OMG! This place I heard good things about, I came to check out myself… they’re AMAZING!!!! I also love the Havana beach vibe that comes from the baked goods…..especially the pineapple coconut loaf…. 🥥 🌴 also my favorite is Guava queso pastry. Love the sweet and creamy !!!! Ok, not done yet, I love the croissant, and the passionfruit raspberry scone was a new hit too, it’s sweet and sour and tangy….. DONT FORGET the CUBANO SANDWICH. 🥪 those were AMAZING…. Everything was new in my mouth and was mentally and physically happy when I left this place. Thankyou for people who recommended and thankyou for the bakery!! Love this place!! They have lots of cake too, I’m going to try cakes next time 😋 I’m definitely coming back… with some friends ….!!!! + love they have dog treats too. My dog loved it!

Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious! Really appreciated their unique twists on traditional pastries. The peach champagne scone is legitimately the best scone I’ve ever had.

This place is evil. Get thee behind me Satan. Everything in here is ridiculously good. We had the cheese guava pastry, muffin donut and Cuban coffees Easily the best Cuban bakery I’ve ever been in

Came here for the first time. It’s a small coffee shop and bakery with Cuban flavors. Everything looked so good and made fresh. I decided on the pastelito de queso (cheese roll) and my wife had the strawberry pastry. We both ordered the cafe con leche. The staff is very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back to try the sandwiches.

Wonderful bakery! Everything we ordered was delicious 🤤. Definitely go and check it out. We grabbed a couple of things and let me tell you my favorite items were the “everything bagel quiche “ & I absolutely loved the “Dark corner cake.” Legit Chefs kiss! We will definitely be coming back 😊. Street parking, They are right on the corner of Newport ! They DO NOT accept Cash , card / debit only (not sure if they accept Apple or google pay so just call them ahead of your visit & see.) anyways Enjoy 🧁🥯🍰🥨🥐🇨🇺🇨🇺

First time here. Ordered the Cuban pie with pork, cheese and pickle filling. It just came out of oven, so it was warm. Not too bad. Ordered the passion fruit/berry scone…a bit too much sugar for my taste, but good. Not a bad option for different types of pastries.

Coffee was good. Clean restroom. The dessert in a photo was 10/10 for appearances but 2/10 for tasting, way too sweet.

Nice bakery. Not many people in line. One thing that I'm a bit disappointed about is that they don't write the prices.

I tried the Coconut Cake...best I've ever had. The Mango Cheesecake was delicious! To drink, I had a Double Cortadito, so good! What brought me here were the Guava and Guava Cheese Pastelitos. I have only ever had these from Portos. Sadly, they were too rich! Not the Guava or Cheese, they were way too buttery! The amount of butter used over powered the Guava. Hopefully it's just the batch I had. I will be back to try their other cakes and sandwiches.

My wife and I came in excited to try this pastry shop and we were disappointed by the sandwiches and coffee. The pastries we had were the chocolate crossaint and keylime pie. The chocoate corssaint was actually decent and very soft bread. The keylime pie lacked flavor and was overpriced. We had the havana sandeich and espana sandwich which were terrible. The havana sandwich was mostly cream cheese and espana sandwich lacked flavor and was very oily. Overall had a bad experience and it seems the staff lack customer service. The atmosphere was actually nice for the little shop. Safe to say we will not be going back.
