Crema's Take
“Gilbert's Bakery trades on a strong reputation for pastries and fresh Cuban bread that clearly resonates with loyal customers, but the 3.9 rating reflects real inconsistency—multiple reviews cite glacially slow service and a noticeable decline from its former standards. If you're ordering ahead for a special occasion cake or grabbing croquetas, you'll likely find something worth your time; if you're dropping in for a quick coffee and pastry with good service, recent visitors suggest you might leave frustrated. It's a neighborhood institution with genuine baking chops that's currently coasting on legacy rather than delivering the experience it once did.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Gilberts is definitely not what it used to be. The service was terrible, with one older lady at the register that takes for ever. I decided to stop by today as I hadn't been there in years. I bought 3 croquetas and 3 pastelitos. when eating my croqueta, I bit into something…
