Our traditions begin with Familia and Pastelitos

Since its opening in December 2012, Pinecrest Bakery has become a beloved staple in the South Florida community. Founded by the Valdes and Rodriguez families, who hail from Miami’s historical Little Havana, our bakery is driven by a deep-rooted commitment to sharing the rich traditions of Cuban baked delicacies (i.e Pastelitos) and cafes. 
 
We are dedicated to providing your community, regardless of their cultural background, with an authentic taste of Latin American cuisine that embodies the warmth and flavors of home. With a focus on quality ingredients, consistency and an inviting upscale atmosphere, we strive to create a memorable experience that honors the cherished traditions and brings families together. 

Committed to Bringing Family Tradition to Your Table

Pinecrest Bakery opened December 2012 with lines reaching out the door early weekend mornings, a sweet-spot filled the hearts, homes and appetites of South Florida families, and has since become a staple in the community.

 

Founded by the Valdes and Rodriguez families, natives of the Little Havana area of Miami, combined vision and talent to share their passion for Cuban baked delicacies and cafes in neighborhoods that would benefit from fresh and affordable tasty food every day.

 

Our mission is to provide modern families and fast casual diners of all cultural backgrounds with authentic and affordable Latin American food that is prepared with quality ingredients, and delivered consistently in a clean environment and homelike upscale atmosphere.

 

With over 1 MILLION Pastelitos served since 2012, we’ve been nominated “Best Bakery” in the Miami New Times readers poll every year since 2018!
