Kendall Bakery II

My family has been coming to this location for nearly 20 years. The prices are great and so is the food. It can get very busy on the weekends. I like how they have trays of pastelitos ready so if you just wanted an assortment you can grab it and pay instead of getting a number.
The sandwiches here are better than what I’ve found in the area. The only issue I have with this place is the parking. The parking lot gets full and hectic and the nearby Sedanos means a lot of people will be walking by with carts which slows the parking lot down.

good food for cheap price, well at least breakfast, that’s what i have here
surprisingly very sweet ladies, AND great amount of food is served!
love this place

I absolutely love Cuban bakeries! The smell of fresh pastelitos, Cuban bread and coffee is the best! If you are in the neighborhood and are craving some Cuban finger foods and sandwiches then pay a visit to Kendall Bakery. The pastelitos, Cuban bread, tequenos, freshly squeezed OJ (when the machine works), café con leche are all delicious. It’s not the best Cuban bakery, but it has everything you are looking for.
Caution: The people who visit this location are super uneducated and do not know how to make a line to pay. If you approach them about it, they won’t care and will try to fight you about how they were in the line first although they clearly didn’t.
The queue to pay is terrible — especially on busy weekend mornings.
They sell food by the pound here which looks like cafeteria food, but if you are into that sorta thing, you should check this place out.

I like their desserts. But overall they have good pastries.

I LOVE their cakes!!! Sometimes they are a little slow but in general good Cuban pastries and friendly staff. I will continue visiting for sure.

I really love this bakery. Lately the last three times they have been slacking. The ladies are very lazy and when customers that they know come in they give them preference. I have also witnessed a few of the waitresses feed their families a lot of food and when they went up to pay at the register it came out to a lot less than mine did when they ordered a lot more than I did. Their customer service might suck, but their pastelitos are good. Their cakes I would not recommend though. I guess this is just my taste of course, but do go and try it for yourself!

Typical Cuban bakery but not as good. To begin with their credit card machine wasn’t «working.» So, we had to go to Sedano’s next door to use their ATM, guess what? Sedano’s wasn’t working either! With the little bit of cash my wife, father-​in-​law and I had, we were at least able to order something close to what you would call a breakfast.
I used to work retail and when our CC machine went on the fritz, we did EVERYTHING possible to 1) correct the issue and 2) tell customers their options for purchasing and WORK WITH THEM to make sure their purchase goes as smoothly as possible. In the time that we were there, I didn’t notice, not even once, any of the workers on the phone calling their bank or cc card service provider with regards to their issue. I never once felt that they wanted to make sure that we, as paying customers, were treated with courtesy and due attention because their machines were down.
Unfortunately, this is a staple of MOST Cuban/​Hispanic cafeteria/​bakeries in South Florida. There is usually no organization when it comes to taking orders and a very ho-​hum attitude for the customer — nearly all of these cafeterias basically make you feel as if their doing you a favor by taking your order and this spot was no different. My wife ordered toast with extra butter since these places are NOTORIOUS for skimping of the butter. Instead of extra butter, she essentially recieved a plate of butter with a side of bread. When my wife took it back to the counter, the girl looked at her as if saying, «Isn’t this what you ordered, what?» Stop it! Only now do I truly wish I was drafing a review on Unilocal while eating so I could’ve snapped a pic of bread drenched in butter… totally inedible.
As for their food, it was very mundane. The pastelitos I had were alright but their ham croquettes were «runny,» something a fried food should not be. As a last send off, we got some pastelitos for the rest of the crew back at the house. My wife ordered a guayaba and queso pastelito, don’t you know, THEY DIDN’T HAVE ANY??? WTF, it’s only 9:00 am in the morning on a Sunday and you don’t have every Hispanics favorite pastery? WOW. I shan’t be going there again, I’ll take my chances at McDonald’s across the way were at least I know that they take credit cards and they won’t run out of McMuffins.
