La Cubanita Bakery — Restaurant in Castle Hills

A Taste of Miami in San Antonio

La Cubanita Bakery is a welcome addition to San Antonio's culinary scene. As a local, I'm thrilled to have a bakery that offers authentic Cuban pastries and treats. The moment you step inside, you're transported to the vibrant bakeries of Miami. Their menu is extensive, featuring classic favorites like guava pastelitos, flaky and sweet.
