Las Americas Bakery

"I urge you to try this place!!! It is delicious and I can say it resembles the most to the Colombian food I most adore!!! DELICIOUS!!!"

"Please come visit Las Americas Bakery! I absolutely love this place! If you’re looking for authentic Colombian/Venezuelan cuisine this is the place for you! There is a wide variety of different types of food to choose from! (I.e: soups, empanadas—better than Mi Apá!—chorizo (sausage), arepas, sandwiches, and MORE!) there are also bakery items, like Flan, Arroz Con Leche (rice pudding), and so much more. I recommend the Beef Empanadas, Chorizo & Cheese empanadas, and try their Arepas! If you want something sweet they sell “Chocolatina Jets” which are fun-sized chocolate bars or the Cocosette! This is a great place and I’ve always had a great experience here with food and service"

"This hole in a wall bakery is one of the best representations of Latin American baking in Gainesville. I bought 1 of everything on the front displays for my wife's birthday. Despite a slight language barrier, the owners are extremely welcoming and will do their best to bridge that gap with you. They serve a variety of sweet, savory, and mixed of both. They also have a hot menu. And the price is on point with everything! Their bakes are light and airy. The desserts are well balanced. The chocolate cake is perfectly layered and not overpowering. And for someone who isnt into sweets, this is its the perfect amount of sweet. This place is great for a quick dessert, lunch from their hot menu, or just want to bring back home a nice homemade loaf of bread for later. They are well deserving the 5 stars, if not more, and your taste buds. Make sure you ask for the sauces for your savory order, 100% worth it."

"Great Deal! Great food! This place is truly a little hidden gem of a bakery/restaurant. We’ve eaten here three times now and upon each visit, keep discovering new little delights on the menu which combines various Latin American cuisines including Cuban, Columbian and Venezuelan. All of the breakfast and lunch items had thus far are unfailingly fresh and delicious and their baked goods are outstanding! Moreover, the prices are extremely reasonable, particularly compared to other bakery/restaurant establishments in town. The proprietors are extremely friendly, welcoming and gracious too. Highly recommended!"

"I walked in on a whim after seeing their sign. And holy mackerel! Their food is amazing!! I got pork arepa, beef empanada, a sweet roll and some strawberry cream cake to go at the suggestion of the cashier. I intended to share with the family, but it was all gone before anyone else had a chance to taste it. Will definitely be going back soon!"
