Craig’s Cafe and Bakery

Craig’s Cafe and Bakery sits on NW 107th Avenue in Hialeah Gardens, and it is one of the few small food businesses in the city with a fully active, current website, which made it possible to get a clear picture of exactly what the shop offers. The cafe describes its own mission simply, saying every cup, plate, and pastry is made to bring people together, and the menu backs that up with a genuinely wide range built around Cuban and Venezuelan flavors alongside more familiar American cafe staples.

The bakery case is stocked daily with fresh pastries, croissants, and Cuban style baked goods, while the kitchen turns out all day breakfast options including omelets and egg plates for anyone who prefers breakfast well past the morning rush. Sandwiches make up a big part of the lunch menu, from a classic Cuban sandwich and pan con bistec to a Philly cheesesteak for customers looking for something outside the Latin menu. Venezuelan specialties round things out with empanadas and arepas, giving the cafe a broader Latin American identity than a strictly Cuban bakery would offer. Burgers and wraps fill in the rest of the savory side, while desserts like tres leches cake, tiramisu, and eclairs cover the sweet end of the menu alongside Cuban coffee and other specialty drinks.

The cafe’s hours reflect a full day of service rather than a quick coffee stop. Monday through Friday it opens at 7 in the morning and stays open until 7 at night, covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner in one long stretch. Saturday hours shorten slightly, running from 8 to 5, and Sunday the cafe closes early at 2 in the afternoon after opening at 8, giving the family that runs it a lighter close to the week.

Beyond the food itself, Craig’s Cafe and Bakery has built out services that go past a typical small bakery, including online ordering, delivery, takeout, catering for events, and a rewards program for regular customers. The business also maintains active Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok accounts under the handle craigscafeandbakery, giving it a more visible public presence than most of the other small food businesses in Hialeah Gardens. Customers can reach the cafe directly by phone or email for catering inquiries or general questions.

NW 107th Avenue sits toward the western edge of Hialeah Gardens, and federal address records confirm this location falls within the city’s official boundaries. Hialeah Gardens is a small city, well under four square miles, almost entirely surrounded by the much larger city of Hialeah, and a family run cafe like this one, with a genuinely active online presence and a menu that spans Cuban, Venezuelan, and American cafe classics, is exactly the kind of independent business that gives the city its own identity. Whether someone is stopping in for a quick Cuban coffee and pastry or ordering a full breakfast spread and catering platter for an event, Craig’s Cafe and Bakery covers a wide range of everyday needs from one storefront.
