Miami-based Vicky Bakery, a family-owned Cuban bakery, has officially made its way to paradise.
Now open at 97630 Overseas Highway in Key Largo, Vicky Bakery is bringing its authentic flavors and traditions to the heart of the Florida Keys.
Vicky Bakery was founded in 1972 in Hialeah, by Antonio and Gelasia Cao, who began making pastries in Miami exactly as they had in Cuba. Today, the bakery is known for its wide array of fresh-baked breads, pastelitos, croquettes, empanadas, cafecitos, cakes, sandwiches and more — all made daily using the family’s original recipes.
“Our dream has always been to share the flavors of our culture with as many communities as possible,” said Amy Cao, managing partner at Vicky Bakery. “To now be serving the people of Key Largo and welcoming visitors from around the world is a milestone we’re so proud of.”
The Key Largo location marks Vicky Bakery’s 30th store — and its first in the Keys. The new bakery continues the brand’s statewide expansion and is designed to be both a local gathering place and a destination for travelers, offering dine-in, takeout and catering.
The founders, Antonio and Gelasia Cao, fell in love over 50 years ago while working at Cuba’s most renowned bakery at the time, La Vencedora. The couple married and migrated to Miami as political exiles, and soon had enough money saved up to buy a small bakery. Now, Vicky Bakery has grown to over two dozen locations across South Florida.
Vicky Bakery plans to debut its first full-service bar at this location.
Vicky Bakery in Key Largo is also hiring and inviting locals to join the team. Interested applicants can email keylargo@vickybakery.com for more information and to apply.
