When a restaurant has withstood the sands of time in a big city, one can’t help but take notice. In a fast-paced urban environment, eateries come and go… but there are always a few that continue to thrive as neighborhoods change and evolve, and there is just a handful that upgrade and expand alongside the city. Today, we’re going to look at a Latin American restaurant in Cleveland that has grown in recent years… and, if it’s been a while since your last visit, you might not even recognize it. Prepare your taste buds for excellence, because this long-standing Cleveland restaurant is calling your name:
¡Bienvenidos! You just arrived at Caribe Bake Shop, a Cleveland dining destination specializing in Puerto Rican cuisine.
Don't let the modern construction fool you; this restaurant is a neighborhood landmark that locals can't get enough of. You can find Caribe at 2906 Fulton Road, Cleveland, OH 44113.
Caribe Bake Shop has delighted hungry visitors since 1969, and as you may have guessed, it started its life as a bakery.
Alongside mouthwatering sandwiches, you'll also find grilled and fried meats - including fried delicacies like empanadillas, which may be filled with beef, chicken, or pizza. Mmm!

And, of course, they also specialize in mouthwatering baked goods, as their name suggests.
With limited seating and a cafeteria-style counter, many have grown used to snagging food from Caribe to go. The food, which is tenderly prepared, heats well at home, and the eatery is almost always boasting a line, it seems, as locals are hooked.
The restaurant, which is still a fairly new construction, is welcoming from the moment you arrive.
It's a definite step up from the smaller space the restaurant once occupied right next door. Nowadays, the offerings at Caribe have expanded, and there's truly something for everyone here.
The aromas of delicacies like pollo a la plancha and chicarron will instantly tempt your taste buds with indulgence.
If you're looking for a new local favorite, you just might find it at this long-standing Cleveland restaurant. Latin American favorites new and old shine on the menu, and visitors and staff alike are easily able to make recommendations if you're stumped on what to order.
