Pinecrest Bakery: Cuban Classics Around the Clock on Military Trail

Craving a pastelito at 3 a.m.? On N Military Trail in West Palm Beach, Pinecrest Bakery keeps the ovens running literally around the clock, serving up a menu of Cuban-American staples to early risers, night-shift workers, and everyone in between.

A Bite Into Tradition

Since the brand's original location opened its doors in December 2012, Pinecrest Bakery has built its identity on "a bite into tradition" — leaning into the classic Cuban bakery-and-café format found across South Florida. The West Palm Beach location carries that same lineup: pastelitos, croquetas, empanadas, and tequeños fill the display cases, while the kitchen turns out home-style breakfast platters and Cuban sandwiches pressed hot off the griddle, including the bakery's signature Pan con Tortilla.

Cakes, Coffee, and Catering

Beyond the daily pastry case, the bakery leans into celebration mode with more than 60 gourmet cakes and desserts made to order — think merengue cakes, cheesecakes, and traditional Cuban sweets like tocinillo. For groups, customizable party platters and full catering menus round things out, alongside the strong Cuban coffee that anchors the counter at any hour of the day or night.
