Suárez Bakery & Barra

The eclairs were phenomenal! All of our goodies were delicious.

They always seem to cheat you on the sandwiches and the coffee. Every time we've gone the next experience has always been worse than the previous one.

I had the Mojo Chicken Rice bowl. It was bland, completely tasteless. The chicken was supposedly Criollo marinated but tasted like steamed shredded chicken thighs. The jasmine rice was plain white rice. I didn't expect a Cuban restaurant to use absolutely no seasoning whatsoever. I don't even think they used salt. There were no condiments available to add flavor to the food. I asked for no pickled onions but received pickled onions anyway. I also had a Cafe Cubano coffee which was barely lukewarm and way too sweet.

Everything looks so good but I kept it to a few options. They all are delicious

Tried to suprise my wife with Salted Carmel Brownie. Unfortunately, it was very Salty!!! Willing to come back to try other pastries

I’m a sucker for tres leches cake and they have one of the best in charlotte besides my besties home made one.

I love their desserts so much. My favorite so far has been the trés leches. It was so yummy one of my favorite places in Optimist Hall!

Got the café tres leches. Very yummy. Unfortunately, the service was not great at all. We showed up at 10:05 and the light was still off. And I would have some grace if they at least acknowledged their patrons. But we stood for another 7 minutes as they are unloading the pastries behind the case. Finally the young lady acknowledged us. Didn’t apologize or anything. We waited all that time just to hear the kitchen is still closed. I actually saw another party of 5 walk away because she didn’t acknowledge them either. Please work on your service so you don’t lose customers!

The guava pastry was the winner for me. My fiancé and I bought one if everything of the pastries they had and it was all good. Donut’s definitely not their specialty.
