| - This review is for the bakery only. Since Sweet Delights Cuban Bakery closed over two years ago, I've missed great pastry in the north side of Vegas near my mom's house. When my brother, a picky pastry fanatic, raved about this place, it was definitely worth a try since I am in Vegas once a month. So on a Monday morning a 7:30 AM, I made the five mile trek from my mom's house into this bakery not too far from a Target.
From the outside, I could see some smiling counter girls with a smile on their morning faces. When I walked inside, the sweet smell of butter smacked me upside the nose. The place is big and modern, and there's no question the pastries are stars. There are two families munching heartily on their breakfasts. But my eyes aimed lustily on the big, the golden brown, beautifully presented croissants. "Hello sir, are you here for breakfast? "Actually, I am here for these pastries". They're not too cheap, but once I got them home, the four items... blueberry, apple, plain and chocolate croissants were gone in a flash. The flavors and texture were perfect. I go to pastry shops all over LA and OC where I live, and only a handful can get that texture just right. Flaky on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. With home brewed French Roast coffee. it was a simply perfect breakfast. They had some very cool breads that I will try next time, along with other pastries. My doc says to take it easy on the carbs...limit yourself eating them as an occasional treat. So I will cut down on sweets until I come back again...
