This is a great bakery and cafe and you can find several locations in the South Florida area. The coffee comes out hot!! I ordered the cafe con leche which is already sweetened and delicious. The breakfast sandwiches are filling and quite big. The bacon, egg & queso sandwich comes stamped with a CAO for added flare. The breakfast sandwich is a big sandwich and comes with your choice of thinly sliced ham or bacon. The orange juice is freshly squeezed! This is my new go-to for coffee and breakfast when I’m in South Florida.
Someone insisted I try the Cuban coffee. It was fantastic. Also enjoyed a breakfast croissant and a bite of a Nutella empenada. Both were great. The staff was friendly. Totally affordable - great value
Tasty cakes but not a place you’ll want to go for coffee. Ordered ice coffee and wasn’t aware it was sugared flavor coffee. Was expecting just a typical ice latte coffee. The sugar wasn’t even dissolved so expect to be sipping up sugar with your coffee. Plus, took quite a while getting 2 ice coffee.
I’m always on the lookout for a good Cuban place. Today I visited CAO. I ordered a Croqueta Preparada sandwich and a medium cafe con leche. It took 27 minutes. During which, only nine other customers visited this location. When I asked why it took almost 30 minutes, I was told that the sandwich needed to be pressed. This process take less than four minutes. Also, I don’t know how a $8 sandwich and a $2.25 coffee came to over $14 plus a 18% tip. I paid the tip with the order. I would not have tipped after this service. The coffee was good but the sandwich wasn’t. The outdoor seating was nice. Overall I’m very disappointed and will not return.
Great authentic Latin eats. From sandwiches to pastries and desserts. Everything is delish. The staff is friendly and patient. No wonder the lines are always long. So prepare to wait a bit. But it will be worth it.
Staff was very friendly. Food itself was of quality however, not something I’d eat on a consistent basis. A bit too dry for me (steak sandwich). Not to say others wouldn’t love it.
Good location for a quick cafe con leche and some delicious latin pastries to go. Or dine in for breakfast and lunch. The pastries I'll give a thumbs up, great spot for coffee, cuban breakfast toast, eggs, ham etc. They also have a wide array of yummy desserts. It's conveniently located on federal hwy before the Audi dealership. They are open super early 6am and I think this location has an early closing time of 5pm. The service is another hit or miss experience. The staff predominantly speak Spanish (no biggie) but it does cause lots of misunderstandings. They are also slow so prepare to wait the process is not organized. But if you don't mind all the jibba jabba (I have no idea what that means lol) check it out you won't be disappointed.
I had to help the waiter take my order on the device because he didn’t speak English well. I had to speak in Spanish (not my native language) to be able to place my order. Kind of ironic. The food and drinks overall great. There was another workers, female and older, who knew the ordering machine well and would have been much more efficient for her to stay at the register the entire time to take orders while the other guy did something else. It took longer for me to place my order than it did for my food to come out...also I had to remind them I ordered pastries, otherwise no one would have gotten them from me. They need to brush up on management here. Would have scored the place overall higher but cannot.
This place is really clean. All the deserts look sooo yum. I always get an egg and cheese with potato sticks. They have almond milk which is a nice alternative to dairy. There is a ton of seating options inside and outside.I will definitely be back.
Great coffee and pastries, easy parking though I'm on foot right now, friendly staff. Highly recommended. The outdoor seating is nice, and has cover from sun or rain.
