What exactly is a Quesito?

Pronounced keh-SEE-toh, this Cuban-Puerto Rican classic translates loosely to “little cheesy thing.” Picture a croissant’s flaky layers wrapped around a silky cream-cheese filling, then rolled in granulated sugar that caramelizes to the perfect crunch in the oven. It’s crispy outside, creamy inside — and ridiculously addictive.

Hand-Rolled — The Perez Familia Way

Original recipe. The Perez familia perfected the technique in their original bakery, and the recipe is still the same decades later.
Hand-crafted. Ingredients are prepped first, and every single quesito is rolled by hand.
Freshly baked daily. Each location bakes batches throughout the day, so you can enjoy that just-out-of-the-oven aroma and golden finish.

Baked Fresh — Every Single Day

We slide trays of quesitos into the oven all day long in every café. When the sugar bubbles and amber flecks appear, they’re ready. That’s the bite you’re enjoying right now.
