I don't even have words for what I just experienced. But I'll do my best to put it into words, for the reader's sake.
So I show up to Vecky's at about 11:30 am on a Sunday. They have 3 people working and maybe 2 people ahead of me in line. Somehow, it still takes about 10 minutes for someone to help me.
Once I'm helped, I order 2 coffees, 3 tequeños (the number here is important and we'll circle back to it in a minute), and some empanadas. The gentleman gets it all together quickly and my total is about $15. Not too bad.
I go to sit down and bite into one of the tequeños. They looked a little soggy, but I was ravenous so I was willing to suffer through if they were a little old. But they were not a little old, they were VERY old. I'm telling you, I'm pretty sure these tequeños had been sitting in the warming case since yesterday. They were greasy, disgusting, and had a terrible after taste.
I didn't pay $15 to not eat what I'd paid for. So I go up to tell the gentleman that these tequeños are no good and that I would like something else. He offers to get me some fresh ones, so I take him up on the offer.
Are you ready? This is where things get weird. About 10 minutes later, he comes out with a tray of 6 fresh tequeños. I had only ordered 3, but I thought okay this is some great customer service bringing me extras to make up for the fact that the initial ones were bad. I was willing to forgive the whole incident and keep Vecky's on my list of breakfast spots.
BUT THEN one of the ladies working there comes out after I had already eaten 1 of the fresh tequeños they brought me and says "I'm sorry I put6 tequeños on the tray and you only had 3." I was like "yeah, and?" THIS LADY BROUGHT OUT A TRAY AND TOOK BACK THE EXTRA TEQUEÑOS SHE GAVE ME!!! But wait, it gets worse!! She put them back in the case for the next customer!!!!!
Long story short, if you come to Vecky's, just hope that you don't get food that was already given to someone else and then taken back. -

Have visited this bakery twice several years ago and also before moving to Florida it was a go-to with friends to get some pastries. They have a great selection of pastries like back home, my FAVORITE is the quesito *****! All day, any day, any time! That's the key to my heart! Lol .. Basically, they're filo dough, stuffed with cream cheese, and on the outside they might be glazed or sprinkled with sugar.... LOVE these! Had a Cubano also and it was really good. Nothing like crusty panadería bread toasted and stuffed with goodies for a crunchy warm sandwich! Add a quesito and croqueta in the side and it's a recipe for an Uber satisfying food coma :) It's a drive for me now, but I would gladly make it just for their goodies and great service! Their staff is super friendly .. Buen Provecho!

Purchased two slices of cake and when I brought them home for the wife and kids, they were completely dried out and stale. These must have been made days ago and they sold me old cake. The place is very clean hence the extra star, but they need to have better controls on the deserts they sell.

By far thee worse excuse for a bakery! I am behind disgusted with this place.
My co-worker got a cake and guava and cheese pastelito's from here as a part of our boss' birthday celebration. Everything seemed fine. We served the cake, pastelito's and everything else that was a part of the spread. A few hours later, we began breaking down everything and putting things up. I didn't initially have any cake as I am not a cake person but since it was quite a chunk left I decided to bring some to mom and son.
I cut the cake, put my piece on my plate and my co-worker notice a spot on the cake still left in the box. I immediately dismissed it and said that it was the icing from the cutting the cake. A little piece of cake dropped and I grabbed it and tasted it. Tasted a little funny but figured "hey maybe it's me." My co-worker kept insisting and we further examined the cake and came to the conclusion that it was mold. That end of the cake was very moldy. The mold was in the beginning stages and hadn't reached the other side or really expand much.
Being that this place opens at 6am and we sent a guy (big mistake), he just got what he could get considering we decided to get a cake at the last minute. That won't happen again. The real question is because it was the on stages of mold, just how long was that cake refrigerated? Clearly since he got it early this morning, it was a fresh cake so just how long had it been sitting. The pastelito's we later learned we very hard.
By the time I thought about leaving a review, the cake was already disposed of but boy do I wish I would've thought of taking a picture first! Just plain disgusting!!!
