I stopped in yesterday and thought I'd get a Pernil Sandwich ( Roast Pork Sandwich). I haven't had one since last summer and thought I'd get one from a place recommended by a co-worker. I've eaten Pernil most of my life. Let's just say I'm over 50 years old. That's a lot of Pernil. I've also learned to oven roast it the old school Puerto Rican way by my parents. I've even smoked them on a Pellet Smoker Grill. I ordered 2 Pernil Sandwiches with lettuce ,tomatoes, Mayo ketchup and cheese on Spanish loaf.I don't usually write reviews. Let's just say that this was the worst Pernil I've ever eaten. The Pernil was bland,, dried and hard as if it were left overs . The texture was so bad it just wasn't something I could enjoy eating beyond the 2 bites. Then too top it off I paid just over $16.00 for them. Oh I forget to mention that the cheese I paid for was also left out of the sandwich. Never again.

The bakery has taken so many steps back. I enjoyed getting a nice ham and cheese sandwich with a coffee but I don't anymore. The coffee is disgusting, I grew up going to Puerto Rican Bakeries in the Bronx, NY where they had milk warmed up or steamed milk. After seeing employees use a microwave to heat milk and then they don't even stir the coffee after putting sugar in it. The ham and cheese sandwiches suffer because they are made with leas ham than before. Also they want to charge a fee for using a debit card?? We are still in a pandemic and they dare charge a fee for that? WTF? I like buying the muffins and they never have enough. On four different occasions the ham and cheese sandwich disappointed me. So I went back more than once to see if it was just a bad day but it's not. So please if you enjoy coffee don't go there unless you like microbes coffee? That's not a real Puerto Rican way of doing coffee. Truly sad and they lost a customer.

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.

Sol De Borinquen found me in 2017 when I was working temporarily on Park Street. I don't speak Spanish, I'm really pale. I do wear a smile wherever I go, which seems to help. I ordered the Crisolisimo sandwich off the specials board it was served on Puerto Rican bread that was toasted after being stuffed with pernil - pulled pork, ham was added, cheese was added. It was the best thing I had ever tasted in my life. Heart clogging goodness. I have returned ten times since the first time. I'm patient, there are sign up tables inside going on for CT voting, Medicade, Health Insurance, Social Security, Disability, just smile, look down at your phone, you'll be okay. Promise.
