Cao Bakery Cafe - Miami

I always enjoy visiting bakeries in Miami, and this location did not disappoint. The service was exceptionally friendly, and they are adhering to all COVID protocols with their indoor seating area. The prices are very reasonable, and the menu is beautifully curated, featuring a wide variety of delicious pastries, sandwiches, cakes, and more. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

Surprised me. Have seen chains of this bakery pop up, I hadn’t realized it was good food, it’s replacing pinecrest bakery as the 24/7 bakery

The traditional Cuban pastries are consistently served hot and fresh. There's ample parking available, although it can be challenging to find a spot on busier days. The restaurant employs a large staff, but despite the number of employees, the service tends to be quite slow.

They serve the best breakfast sandwich paired with coffee. The pastry selection is excellent, especially the cakes!

I went in to get a quick coffee and a bite to eat to go. Someone greeted me right away. It was an older lady. I forgot to get her name : . She was super sweet and attentive. While she was getting my items ready another employee distracted her and she apologized for the delay, which I thought was nice. I told her that it was fine and not to worry about it. She said I was 'amable ' lol, which in Spanish means that I 'm very polite. Ha ha I ordered a 'cangrejito ' and a 'cortadito '. Cangrejito is a Cuban pastry literally shaped like a little crab. It 's filled with mashed up ham. It 's delicious. Cortadito is like a mini Cafe con leche, with equal parts of milk and espresso. Yummm. Hard to stay away from Cuban pastries. It 's a weakness lol. I 've been here before. It 's such a cute store. And I love that they have outside seating as well. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Give it a try. It 's worth the calories.
