Pinecrest Bakery Online

Let’s be honest, every Thanksgiving table has that one dish that stays untouched. (Looking at you, mystery casserole.) If you want to show up to la cena del pavo with something everyone will actually eat (and probably ask you for again next year), Pinecrest Bakery’s got you covered.

1. Pastelitos de Guayaba (aka the crowd favorite)

Forget the fancy desserts; bring the ones that disappear in seconds. Our pastelitos are flaky, golden, and filled with that perfect guava sweetness Miami runs on. Bring a box or two and watch everyone suddenly “save room for dessert.”

2. Cuban-Style Croquetas

Croquetas are basically the universal love language. Whether you go with jamón, pollo, or bacalao, they’re the ultimate appetizer that keeps everyone happy while the turkey takes its sweet time. Plus, showing up with croquetas from Pinecrest Bakery? Instant main character energy.

3. Arroz Imperial

Now this one’s for the MVP slot. Layered with yellow rice, shredded chicken, mayo, cheese, and that perfect Cuban seasoning: it’s rich, comforting, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. It looks fancy, tastes like home, and pairs beautifully with whatever else is on the table. Even abuela will approve.

4. Sweet Ham Dinner

Not everyone at the table is here for turkey, and that’s okay. Our sweet ham dinner is the perfect alternative: tender, glazed, and packed with that classic holiday flavor. It’s hearty, beautiful on the table, and pairs perfectly with arroz, maduros, or your favorite Cuban sides. Basically, it’s Thanksgiving a lo cubano.

5. Tequeños & Bocaditos

For the antes del pavo crowd, these little bites are a must. Crispy, cheesy tequeños and those soft, nostalgic bocaditos bring instant Miami energy to any holiday spread. Easy to serve, easy to love, and absolutely impossible to stop eating.

This year, skip the stress and swing by your nearest Pinecrest Bakery. From pastelitos and croquetas to arroz imperial and sweet ham dinners, we’ve got the sabores que nos unen: the flavors that bring everyone together, one delicious bite at a time.

Because at the end of the day, the best dish on the table is the one everyone actually eats.
