Crema's Take
“This Tampa gem brings authentic Venezuelan bakery and bistro culture to life with made-to-order arepas, cachitos, and empanadas that transport you straight to Caracas. The welcoming, Spanish-speaking staff and casual family-friendly atmosphere make it the perfect spot to linger over breakfast or grab something fresh and affordable, whether you're seeking comfort food from your childhood or discovering Venezuelan flavors for the first time. Don't skip the malt or any of the fresh pastries—everything here tastes like it was made with genuine care.”

My friend is from Venezuela and brought me here to enjoy her cultural esthetic. To my surprise great atmosphere, great service, and great food. When i am back in Florida i will stop here.
First time here. As a Venezuelan this place brings me some joy. Empanadas is a must here also “cachitos” don’t forget your Malt. Casual for a breakfast fiends and family. Staff super friendly.
SO nice to have an authentic Venezuelan bakery nearby! Arepas cooked to order... be patient! Everything is delicious... I'll be back!
Spanish speaking but menu describes everything very clearly in English. Venezuelan lunch/bakery cuisine. Super polite and friendly 😊 Food made to order and fresh. So delicious 😋
This place was super clean, the food was very fresh and authentic flavors which reminded me of my favorite food growing up. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. The prices are VERY affordable too which is rare in this economy Gracias a Panitas!
