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!
