this is one of those diamonds in the rough! from the venezuela pollo and carne empanadas to the tequenos filled with queso & queso with guava to the pan de bono. they know exactly what they're doing in every freakin' way. the cafe con leche was dreamy and the service was perfect (just be sure you can speak a little spanish...it helps). if you like any of these treats, it's worth the flight to miami, and take my advice: bring as many as you can carry on your flight home. you will want to eat charlotte baked goods on the daily. they not only have venezuelan empanadas, but they also have argentinian, chilean, columbian, and uruguayan. this is the real deal and all other bakeries should bow down to charlotte!
