Crema's Take
“This beloved Cuban bakery chain delivers the real deal with robust, no-nonsense coffee and an impressive array of freshly baked pastries and sandwiches that keep locals coming back. The atmosphere is consistently clean and welcoming, with staff like afternoon cashier Adrian who make you feel genuinely cared for, making it equally perfect for a quick cafecito or lingering over conversation with friends and family. Though portions and pricing occasionally spark debate, the authentic flavors and warm hospitality capture what makes a neighborhood bakery indispensable.”

Outstanding Service from Adrian Adrian, one of the afternoon shift cashier’s at CAO in Hollywood. He is absolutely amazing. His service is consistent and as an English speaker, I really appreciate how clear, friendly, and patient his communication is. He always goes above and beyond to make sure my order is right, and he does it with a big smile and a welcoming attitude every single time. What really stands out is the personal touch Adrian brings he makes you feel genuinely valued as a customer, not rushed or overlooked. Because of him, I actually look forward to visiting the restaurant. He’s a true asset to CAO and a big reason I keep coming back.
Place is super dirty has to clean my table and chair the pollo milanesa was dry the rice was dry the beans wasn’t even enough to cover the rice the food have zero flavor what a slap to call it Cuban food I asked for a refund and they nicely said no witch is ok 👍 won’t be coming back and I will let everyone know this the plate sucked
One of my favorite cuban bakery chains, this is the first time I’ve been to this one and it was excellent! Extremely clean inside, staff was nice and food was great! Ordered a box full of cuban pastries including my favorite the guava and cream cheese pastries as well as some ham croquettes. I also ordered some desserts for later. Highly recommend this place.
A nice Latin bakery With a large and tasty variety of pastries, sandwiches and such, accommodating staff and a spotlessly clean venue. I come to this location frequently because it’s so handy. Lots of free parking too!
We really did like this place. The coffee was absolutely strong. Didn’t need much but one thing that was kind of disappointing was the cost and the size of the skirt steak. It was pretty tough but everything else was great. I’m still gonna give a five star review because I think that they just overcooked mine a little bit and I’m gonna give them the benefit of the doubteverybody here was great and the pastries and sweets Lord Jesus, yes
