Hands down my favorite bakery! The quesitos are packed with cream cheese and so flaky and tasty, I love them! The pastellitos de guayaba are also so yummy and stuffed with filling unlike some of these other places which are just puff pastry. You really can't go wrong with the variety of desserts from here, the budín, the flan, the tembleque, sugar donuts, orejitas, you name it they are delicious! I recently ordered miniatures from here for my nieces sweet 15 and everyone went crazy for them. Service is good. Most of the staff speaks Spanish but they always try and are very pleasant. Ambience is ok, the front entrance due to its location you always have your beggers hanging out asking for money but just ignore them and you'll be fine. The back entrance could use more lighting in the hallway, and the ceiling definitely needs some attention from that leak and bucket but if you'd like to avoid the beggers and hate parallel parking then park in the back.

The best Cubano sandwich around. Never disappointed. The coffee is out of this world !!! Just don't be in a rush because there often is a wait. However long always worth it

This spot became a regular for me weekly when picking up fresh bakery for the nicu nurses who took care of my son. I've always gotten the Cinnabon's and guava pastries and it's always been a hit! Whatever icing or cream cheese they put on the Cinnabon is delicious! The prices are not bad for fresh bakery! I would suggest this place to everyone I know. They also make sandwiches, breads, other pastries, and desserts here as well.

Excellent customer service. The owner seemed like a very sweet lady. The baked goods were budget-friendly, delicious, & freshly-made. I chose to give Sol de Borinquen 4 stars instead of 5 because of the rough location & limited street parking.

This place is sinful! My husband loves the bread pudding. Prices are amazing. Try the tres leches or the cake with the flan on top. They also sell sandwiches and they are heavenly. Love this place!

Great place for cheap sandwiches. I ordered the Cubano, tripleta and Cannoli. Let's get it out the way, the Cannoli sucked - dry with a stale shell - makes sense NO Italian pastry should be bought at a Latin pastry shop. lol. The sandwiches? Magnifico! Yummy! The tripleta had pulled pork, ham and cheese and the works. - it was melt in my mouth the Cuban was simple, even though it lacked the components of a real Cuban sandwich, it was still a tasty one. The workers were sweet and the food was made quick. Sucks that you can't sit inside. It's a huge place.

Excellent bakery on Park Street! When I lived in CT, I had gone to other bakeries in the area, but not this one. What a pity that I can only go whenever I make my pilgrimages home. Got a papa rellena (usually called relleno de papa by true boricuas) and tres leches cake. I quickly ate my stuffed potato ball as I pulled out of my space on the side of the street. Glorious! It must have been because I arrived at 7 am, because the outer breading was amazingly crispy and not greasy. The mashed potatoes were fluffy and and provided the perfect background for the inner treat of seasoned ground beef. Simply delicious. Criolla cooking at its very best. Tres leches was consumed before 8 am this morning as well. It was well made, but since I also make tres leches, I typically prefer a less sweet milk bath for the cake. The frosting is a merengue one, rather than whipped cream (which I don't like as much, though I recognize that it is usually the Latin Caribbean adornment for this dessert). Ladies, if you are frightened by catcalls, maybe going in the morning is the ideal time. Mostly middle-aged men in the area, though my experience was that they were polite (maybe extra nice because of my magenta leggins, knee-high boots, and leopard print scarf?) but not dirty and did not say/do anything to make me feel uncomfortable or in danger. Expand your horizons and start your day with Sol de Boriquen. That is exactly what I did today and already my day is starting out marvelously.
