El Recreo Bakery in Margate

I wish I could stop here everyday!!! Their Cafe con leche ☕ is really delicious and inexpensive. I go out of my way to come here as often as possible. Very, very good! Love the pastelitos too! Stop by TODAY!

Small family place that is good with great people.

Slow service but amazing food and coffee

If you want a good Cuban Sandwich, this is the best place to get it from!☆☆☆☆☆

Love this place! We always stop when in Margate. Nice ladies provide great service. Food is yummy.

Great food and service. Need more space for eating in.

Small family business very good Cuban coffee.

Cuban sandwich was so good! first time having one after living in S. Fla for 26 years. where have i been? Cafe con leche could have been a little stronger but overall very good!

Delicious & authentic Cuban food.Jesus (owner)really attentive.

By 7:45 a.m.,15 Customers line up.Oderd 2 of everything in the show case.Guava pastelitos are real guava filling.Very fast pace.Legit crub.

Recreo never fails. Best toasts. Stop by and pick up one of their party trays with mini cuban pastelitos sweet or salty. Great for home or office parties. Love this bakery!

Place is dirty and disgusting! Order a sandwich, I was told it would take 15 minutes, after waiting over 35 minutes I just walked away .. Horrible customer service and rude people that doesn’t even speak English.

This is one of our favorite places for a quick bite. The food is always fresh, coffee always hot and staff are friendly. The ham croquetas have to be some of the best in the area. Mornings and weekends can get busy and wait times can be in excess of 10 minutes. But it's well worth the wait. Best of all is that it is not expensive.

Home feel. Packed don't wait too long.

The best Cafe Con Leche and sandwiches

Really Great Staff & Environment

Anything and everything is great!! As authentic as you can get

Best bakery in Margate!

Best coffee and sandwich cubano in town!

Great cuban sandwich. I only wish they had a larger variety.

Great food, prices, and service. Will be back next time I'm in Fort Lauderdale.

Great cuban sandwich. Pork is roasted in house. So good!!!

Rude staff, not a quick place to stop to pick up food because they take forever to make it. Place was very dirty.

Anybody who’s anybody knows this place. Food tastes like home love and family. They know everyone single persons name.

Best place for a colada (black Cuban coffee), breakfast and other food.

Best authentic Cuban bakery in the area. Fast service and the ladies are very sweet!

Too expensive., bad customer service

Amazing Cuban spot, great food great coffee.

Service is always friendly and good. And the croquetas Also. Can't forget the colas.

Best Cuban sandwiches in Fl. Great traditional Cuban pastries too. You can even order a custom cake for any occasion. Great Cuban coffee!

Food is excellent. Made to order, they have the best sandwiches! Place is always busy.

I've only tried the coffee so far. It's pretty good. Friendly staff.

Family owned and run. Fresh Cuban pastries

Good people good sandwich.

Breakfast and espresso was good. Unfortunately they lose a star due to lack of ventilation (I really don't like having my clothes smell like a greasy french fry). They lose another star for having no apparent customer restroom, or even a sink to wash your hands (that will surely be buttery after handling the Cuban bread).

The best Cuban sandwiches around. I recommend this place to everyone. Tiny little bakery, always packed on the weekends, but sooooo worth it!

Nice people but place needs more staff, larger space. Good cuban food if your out west.

Love them friendly and good fresh food

Excellent bakery. I get my Cuban sandwiches and cuban coffee from here. Friendly crew.

5 stars! Pastelitos are fantastic

Legendary man provides service

I love it, great food and coffe. Nice ladys and owner

Best Cuban coffee really good food really good service

Love this place, they are very humble, efficient and attentive. Prices are the best in town. Food is delicious. I recommend this place 100%

This place is legit. Best pastelitos we’ve had in South Florida so far. Ham croquetas were awesome, and definitely the best cortadito I’ve had outside my mom’s kitchen. Highly recommended!!!

Great place with delicious authentic cuban food. English is the 2nd language and customer service is not the best, however the authenticity of the food and cafe is worth it.

Great food fast service.

Oh my goodness, this place is good. Sure, it’s tucked in a less then attractive shopping strip center… driving by, you might think you are going to a place that isn’t right. But’s it’s okay, because this place is where you want to be. I love a good sandwich, a good Cuban is something which I love too, it’s like the right meat combination, and if the bread is great, then you just won something that you didn’t deserve. Here, the bread they use really sets it off. The bread holds the juices of the meat, but the crust is just that perfect, crunch, without the need for munching down. This is a quick review, but look, this is a SERIOUS HIDDEN GEM, go here and eat it, because you will be pleased with the simple, but honest food here.

I love this place! It can get busy but the food and coffee were always worth the wait for me.

Awesome place. I enjoy the sweet and caring service the servers give. I recommend it. Great tasting sandwiches, empanadas, and the coffee is WOW! Delicious. Great work and facility.
