Impressed with the servings and prices! Definitely worth visiting and sharing with a small group. Flavors were good and so was the service.

I have been here a couple of times and it's pretty good. It's spacious inside with lots of indoor seating. I have only had their sandwiches but not their baked goods. I had the bacon egg and cheese recently and I wished they hadn't done it hot pressed because it made the bread dried out. Otherwise the food is good and is ready quickly.

We don't live in this area and came here to look at Carmax. We were starving and checked this place out. They were so helpful since we weren't as familiar with the bakery part and they mostly spoke Spanish. All the food we got was yummy! We had pork with the flavored rice and fried plantains, chicken empanadas and a sandwich that had 3 meats and the yummiest sauce. We also had a strawberry turnover and flan. Such a cute and clean place too! Definitely check it out!

I dropped by here because I wanted a little snack. I ordered a couple items from the bakery. Somethings were good. Some things were OK. I got the croquet as well, which are very good. I got a Quito and a guava pastry. They were OK a little bit on the dry side. The service was not great. The people that were taking my order didn't care to explain some things, didn't seem like they want to answer my questions. They seem short that day. I ended up ordering online. Which works out great because I also have pictures. It is a casual place with several tables that you can bring a bunch of people to sit down and have some hickory items. It's quite cute in there.

I typically get the media noche which is really good. However, this time I decided to switch it up with the De Pavo Asado. The sandwich was flavorful. The turkey was juicy. The bread was soft. I think it might even like this more than the media noche. Although there was a little too much mayonnaise for my liking. Other than that, I continue to be a satisfied customer. Sorry there is no pic. I was hungry!

Stopped here recently while passing through. I had seen several yelp reviews and wanted to check it out for myself. I ordered a coffee and a few empanadas. The coffee was fantastic but the empanadas were just ok. The restaurant was bigger than I expected and had several patrons in line and seated and eating. I got there kinda late for breakfast but not quite lunch time. They were setting up the lunch area and I saw several dishes that looked and smelled appealing . I will certainly return and try some of those lunch dishes.

Went on Mother's Day. It was packed and lively. I love that they serve plates of food while also having sandwiches and bakery goodies. I also love that they have flancocho it was so good and moist! The Pio Pio sandwich was delicious and the pan de água was toasted to perfection. Will definitely be back. Plenty of parking in the plaza and tons of folks also ordering pick up.

1. I really love the vibes inside and outside of this bakery. The inside gives rustic modern Latin vibes. There is plenty of seating but it seems very busy behind the counter and although it seemed as if the staff spoke little English I had no problems ordering my food. 2. The staff was very nice and the lady that plated my food was very nice and friendly, the young man behind the register was very helpful and even suggested the freshly made drinks. 3. The food was good also. I highly recommend the freshly made mango drink and the flan chocolate cake. The flan cake was moist and had a delightful sweetness. The macaroni salad was delicious as well, the white rice was very good and a bit salty for me. The pork was moist and delicious and so was the yellow rice and beans but for me it was a bit on the salty side, although If i would have gotten the macaroni salad I think it would have balanced the food out a lot better(the plate with the white rice balanced nice with the macaroni salad). I also got the sweet plantain and it was delicious. 10 out of 10 highly recommend. Definitely will return.

Their pastries, breads, and cakes are crafted with love and care, showcasing the skill and artistry of their talented bakers. One standout item is their signature guava pastelitos. These flaky pastries filled with sweet guava are a delightful treat that will transport you to tropical paradise with each bite. Their empanadas, filled with a variety of delectable fillings, are also worth mentioning. The flavors are rich, and the crust is perfectly golden and crisp. Amongst their lineup of sandwiches the La Media Noche (a Puerto Rican bread filled with flavor bursting mojo pork, ham, Swiss, pickles) and Bacon Mananero (bacon egg and cheese sandwich) are must try. These are served warm and in perfectly crispy on top and soft inside bread. Each bite is satisfying to the pallet and eyes. The customer service at La Bahia Bakery is exceptional. The staff members are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to assist you in making the best choice from their enticing array of baked goods. Whether you're a regular customer or visiting for the first time, you'll feel welcomed and appreciated.

Great service with a smile. Fried items not sitting in a warmer. Made fresh! Got potato ball, croquetas and pizza empanada. Also got boiled yucca, arroz con gandules and 2 different kinds of pasteles. Lots of pastries to choose from as well as drinks. Lots of things I wanted to try but gotta save it for next time!
