On our way back to home, we stopped for gas and saw the bakery and dropped in. We ordered egg and cheese sandwich, cafe con leche, orange juice and a pastry filled with cream cheese. OMG!!! Everything was amazing from the greeting to the exit. The ladies were like tía y mami and they ensured we were okay, enjoyed the food and felt at home. It felt like home. I loved that they served us on real plates too. ¡Muchisimas gracias!

Omg. Out of this world delicious. We stumbled on this place right next to a gas station. Boy our bellies were happy! We had egg breakfast sandwich, and a Cuban lunch sandwich, which giant. Fresh cheese and home bed bed crust explode with layer of original flavors on top egg, ham, pulled pork. Go!

Called ahead to purchase a box of pastries, staff was very friendly and super helpful. Arrived and was thrown back when I realized it was next door to a gas station but I wasnt disappointed in the quality and freshness of the food and pastries. Location was very busy but staff was very effective in getting people in, serviced and out as quickly as possible.

If you are in palm bay and want a to die for cuban sandwich and pastries, this is the place. Warning though, the wait maybe a little long depending on when you go. Growing up in Miami, this is the closest I have come to some authentic food and cafe!

It's nothing to write home about from the outside (located in a strip mall behind a gas station) but man, is the food here authentic and delicious. And if you can finish an entire sandwich, I'm impressed - they are not insubstantial. Easy off/on from the highway if you're road-tripping but if you don't call ahead, expect to wait a bit for your food. Staff is pleasant but *busy*. Not much seating and it's mostly 2-top tables out front so plan for take-out. Stop for the breakfast sandwiches, guava pastries or Cubanos. You can't go wrong.

Stumbled on this place because we needed gas (next door) and thought we'd try something new. My husband got a coffee and we decided to try the pastries. We got a guava and cheese and a coconut pastry. Both were excellent. We were rushing to get home to Ohio or I would have turned around and bought more to take to my kids. Such friendly staff. I would definitely go out of my way to stop there again.

Being a Cuban that is originally from Miami I can definitely give this place a huge thumbs up. It is reminiscent of Hialeah and the taste of REAL CUBAN (heavenly!) It is a hole in the wall, but worth the taste for certain. The empanadas of beef are to die for and the croquetas are very good. I definitely recommend a visit if in the mood for authentic Cuban, while in Palm Bay.

Really upsets me when prior reviews are so absurdly unfair. 1 star really? What are you smoking?This place serves amazing Cubans along with everything else. If you're not satisfied with one order, how about you give them a chance fix it first?

I’m so happy we found this spot! We will definitely be to explore more of the menu. Authentic place and don’t let the outside looks fool you when you approach the restaurant. Only two tables inside, so don’t expect to stay and eat.

Food is amazing! Truly authentic and cheap. Worth a visit if you're traveling on I95. It's real food, better than a chain restaurant. Coffee is great as well.
