Housewife Bakery & Cafe

We've had limited selections over two visits, so I'll start at 4 stars and see what happens. First, Gingerbread! It is clear as soon as you pull into the parking lot that gingerbread man is a specialty here oh, so I cannot figure out why none of the other reviews seem to mention the Gingerbread. A friend pointed us here, and even though three out of five in the family typically don't like gingerbread, we gave it a shot and LOVED it! Their gingerbread men (and women) have a more subtle ginger taste, and the texture is like any more conventional cookie (firm but soft and chewy). Unfortunately, the other item we tried once, the bread pudding, was simply awful. The taste and texture were unlike anything we had tasted, almost like burnt soap (which I know makes no sense at all). If we hadn't driven 30-45 minutes before tasting, we would have asked for a refund. The customer service has been very welcoming, so I suspect they would have honored it. It's just a shame the it was such a 180 from the deliciousness of the gingerbread. But at least we had 1 piece of bread pudding vs. 12 gingerbread people!

I have been looking for a good cuban breakfast place due to my familiarity with South Florida cuban cuisine. Housewife Bakery & Cafe did not disappoint. Everything they had was exquisite and freshly made. Staff was very friendly and personable. This is definitely my new go to place for cuban breakfast. Also has a wide variety of desserts and baked goods that looked amazing. There will always be something new to try when I come back.

Those that already know this place but haven’t been here since COVID will be pleasantly surprised by the makeover. From the outside you will notice right away the cute murals on both sides of the building, including a photo spot where you can stick your face in a cutout of a gingerbread man! The selection inside is expanded. There’s a hot case with a variety of empanadas, several lunch sandwich selections and the HUGE variety of cookies and desserts! Get yourself a cafe con leche & bring your family or office the pizza scacciatta. I have ordered catering for the office many times in the past. I’m glad they are still around.

Wonderful selection of American and Spanish pastries, cakes, and cookies. Beautiful occasional cakes for order. Also has some wrapped sandwiches like Cubans, Tuna and Egg as well as finger foods like croquettes, stuffed potatoes, and different kinds of empanadas. Clean, modern woods in indoor eating area. Prices are worth it with the quality, taste and size of the portions.
