Last Stop on our quest to find the best Cuban coffee in Jacksonville:-) here is our list:1. Mambos- Best Cuban coffee2. 1928 Cuban Bistro3. Kathy’s BakeryBest Cuban Sandwhich: Kathy’s BakeryIf you like a lot of meat then 1928 Cuban Bistro.
We had the Cuban and the Midnight Sandwiches, they were good. My husband had the Bocaditos, he said they were good. Coconut macaroons were very moist. I bought a few pastries and will update my post later.4 stars because prices need to be posted regardless if, it from scratch or not. I had 2 items missing. This is a business not a swap meet.
Stopped here to pick a birthday cake up for my little girl. The price was very fair and the cake was nothing short of amazing.Can't wait to go back and try the sandwiches and lunch!
The pastries looked very good. I had a Cuban sandwich which was pre-made and they just pressed it to heat it up. It was bland but with traditional Cuban sandwich ingredients. It takes a few minutes for the staff to respond and a customer even walked out when no one came out of the back room for 3 to 5 minutes. Customer service is not the high point and neither is fresh seasoned sandwiches. If I were just rating the desserts, it may get a better review but $10 for one sandwich that was not feeling seems enough for the day.
Nice friendly owners .it makes me happy going there. I'm Cuban argentine. They cook like my late mom. Delicious good prices
Rude and desserts taste old. ?
I can officially say, YES, this business is unethical. I've been charged anywhere from $19 to $30 for the same 4-5 slices of cake. I wanted to include my tip the first time and the lady just added it herself and blamed it on tax. She CHARGED MY CARD MORE THAN SHE SAID SHE WOULD.I've visited the bakery a few times to test the pricing. Each time, I was charged more or less depending on who was charging me that day. The last time, I mentioned it he said each slice could vary. I understand that and I love to support local businesses but not when you're stealing from loyal customers.
Best Cuban Bakery in Jax....,????
Stop by here with my sister while waiting for our boboa tea next door. I was expecting a small bakery with cupcakes and cake mostly, but it was so much more. We were overwhelmed with the selection (in a good way). Since we both are big dessert people, we stuck with unique options. So we didn’t do any of the traditional cakes, or pies. Instead we got some absolutely amazing (sorry, I didn’t get the name of them) colorful jelly, caramel, des leche desserts, cannolis, and empanadas. They were all so wonderful! I am excited to go back and try some more.Side notes: I read a lot of negative reviews about prices and service. There were no prices, but honestly, I will pay extra if need be for small businesses. I felt like I was given a very fair and great price for everything ordered. We actually wanted to leave a tip, but looks to be cash only for tips, so I will remember that for next time. Also, Kathy was an absolute delight. She answered a LOT of our questions since we had no idea what many things were. She was happy and very pleasant when taking our completely random order. I am excited to return.I have worked at small family owned places before, so I understand when the owner is sick, the store is closed. If they are running behind, times change; slow day, you close early. So I understand and respect all of that. It is not a corporation, and I wish others understood that as well.
