Argentinian Bakery & Cafe — Restaurant in Winter Springs

Went to eat lunch with my grandmother on July 7, 2024, and we ordered the Milanesa napolitana to share. Gloria served us a Milanesa sandwich which was not what we ordered but we decided not to complain. We shared the sandwich noticing that the Milanesa was drenched in oil, the bread was falling apart, and the fries were once again drenched in oil. My grandmother requested new fries that came out looking worse than the first ones. We didn't eat the fries, nor did we finish our sandwich. We were even offered a to-go box after complaining again that the food was not made correctly to another server (second complaint).

When we approached the counter Gloria helped us check-out and pointed to the screen for a tip at which point my grandmother stated yet again that we were very dissatisfied (third complaint) with the meal and that she was very disappointed because this is one of my grandma's favorite restaurants. Gloria became irritated and responded stating that well if out of all the times my grandmother has visited, this was the only time the food was bad then it's not a big deal.

Well.. Gloria.. it definitely is a big deal because I woke up with food poisoning after only eating half of your Milanesa sandwich. Nausea, abdominal cramps, and gastro-intestinal issues all day which has completely prevented me from working today. I have been in excruciating pain all day and have filed a complaint with the health department. This is very disappointing because we love your restaurant and love your pastries, but I have been sick the entire day and have been completely miserable and in...

I went to try out the job, to start working there. I’ll explain a little my awful experience with the owners… Gloria had me everywhere, I couldn’t finish one task that she wanted me to start another, she also had a really bad attitude, speaking to me with arrogance, treating me like I was stupid in front of people, she even pushed me in some cases and looked at me badly that everybody could see it. That same day, the woman that cooks, was crying because of them and saying she was going to quit the job at that exact moment! (Also the other two employees said to me like 8 times that day “you need to have patience with them” what do you mean patience? Let them treat me with 0 respect and keep working for them? Nah.) Well… After 9h there, I left and of course wasn’t thinking of coming back. The next day I texted the owner, José, to ask when were they going to pay me for all those hours. They sent me $80 (that’s miserable) and again, now him speaking to me with arrogance. The majority of customers only see one face of the coin. I don’t care if the food is good or bad, but the way they treat people is just not acceptable at all. There are good places to eat, with delicious food and good people,...

Finally made it! So glad I made the time to stop by and an hour after they opened.

The bakery is at the corner of the plaza, which has been remodeled and the bakery space extended. I was told that they are going to have a seating area and extend their hours soon!

I was greeted by a really nice lady (I did not get her name but I think she runs the place). She was nice, friendly, welcoming, attentive and more than happy to answer any questions and make suggestions. She made the experience a better one!

I got an assortment of sweet bread (did you know Argentina calls them facturas?) and a baked chicken empanada. The bread was delicious, tasty, fresh, fluffy and not overly sweet. I got some one stuffed with dulce de leche, one custard and peach, one custard and guava, one chocolate dusted and a regular media luna. The chicken empanada was still warm but if you like it hotter, they are happy to warm it up for you. They have an assortment and mine was filled with pulled chicken with a tomato sauce. Very tasty and filing.

I will definitely be back and looking forward to getting awesome bread and try other things!

Thank you for the great...
