Cuban Dulceria International Bakery — Restaurant in Carrollton

I've always loved and adored this bakery for nearly three years. All pastries I've had are amazing and the coffee, La Gaviña, is the best I ever had. But as a resident from Mesquite it takes me about 45 minutes to get to this wonderful bakery, which has been incredibly worth the trip when leaving with boxes of pastries and a cafe cubano in hand, and I've always tip as best I could. However there have been times I've come all this way, speeding down the George Bush turnpike, making it out here only to find them closed. The first time was on a weekday I got there well before 5 but only to find them closed. I then learned they changed their closing time to 4pm on Tues - Thursdays, but Fridays and Saturdays are still 5pm. Yet here on Google maps, and their website, still says 9am-5pm Tues-Saturdays. A second time on a Saturday I was running late and made it there about five minutes till closing but they were already closed. Then the last time was on a Saturday in March, when gas prices began to spike again. I made plenty of time to leave early, I got there shortly before 4pm once again finding them closed! I then felt like I've been punched in the stomach standing there before the locked door, not being able to buy anything - only burning gas and getting hit by tollway charges. I then pulled up Google maps to check the hours and the Updates tab/By Owner tab to see if they posted anything as to why they closed early but was blank, and no updates on their website as well. Since then, I haven't tried again fearing that it's just going to happen again, never know what they are going to do. Just really sad, I really loved them and everything about this bakery! There will never be another...

Great find! My friend Daniel told me about this little gem. Since, wife loves Cuban sandwiches, I brought her here...OMG! It's owned and operated by Cuban sisters. For those in the know, no need to read any further. We're done. For those who don't know, please continue. First off, the atmosphere screams island relaxation. You walk into a glass row full of pastries and small bites prepared that morning. That could be enough for some. The sandwich (aka the reason we came). It was everything a cuban should be. The bread had a crisp buttery exterior to contrast the soft pillowy inside. It was neither too thick nor too thin. By the way, they prepare all the sandwiches to order, so there may be a wait if they're busy, but it's worth hot food. The ham and mortadella were cut so thin that you could see through them. The pork was soft and juicy, not dry. They also didn't kill the sandwich with too much mustard or pickles, nor did they starve it either with a lack of them. Normally, I detest Swiss cheese, but it marries perfectly with this combination. That first bite...well you're going to just have to experience that for yourself. All the pastries were tasty as well, but hey, this post is about the...

This is one of our favorite places to stop in for coffee, pastries, and sandwiches! Being from Miami, it’s the only cafe that makes me feel like I’m right back home. Everything is authentic and the flavors are exactly what I remember growing up. I love that the owner uses photos of her grandparents in the cafe and that the business has stayed in the family. The prices of her food are excellent. I personally feel like she should charge more for bringing such authenticity to the area and I love that I can sit outside and hear people from all walks of life coming to enjoy such good coffee and pastries. My husband and I love bringing friends and family here every...
