Welcoming CAO Bakery & Café to the South Dade Chamber of Commerce

  • April 2026

The South Dade Chamber of Commerce is delighted to welcome CAO Bakery & Café as one of our newest members. Known for its unique blend of Cuban tradition and American energy, CAO Bakery & Café brings a flavorful and authentic experience that celebrates culture, community, and connection.

CAO Bakery & Café was born from a familiar experience shared by many Cuban Americans—growing up with the warmth of café con leche at abuela’s kitchen counter while also embracing the fast-paced rhythm of American life. Instead of choosing between tradition and modern convenience, CAO embraces both, creating a space where heritage and ambition come together.

This “in-between place” is what defines the CAO experience. It’s where a pastelito de guayaba brings back memories of Sunday mornings with family, and a freshly prepared cortadito provides the energy needed to power through a busy Monday. The café reflects the everyday life of a community that proudly carries its cultural roots while continuing to build something new.

At its core, CAO Bakery & Café celebrates the Cuban American story—one filled with tradition, resilience, and the pursuit of opportunity. By blending classic Cuban flavors with a modern café atmosphere, CAO has created a welcoming destination where customers can enjoy familiar tastes while connecting with friends, family, and neighbors.

Beyond great coffee and delicious pastries, CAO Bakery & Café represents the spirit of entrepreneurship and cultural pride that helps make South Florida such a vibrant place to live and work. Their commitment to honoring tradition while embracing innovation aligns perfectly with the values of the South Dade business community.

The South Dade Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome CAO Bakery & Café and looks forward to supporting their continued success. We are excited to have them as part of our growing network of businesses that help strengthen our local economy and celebrate the diverse culture that makes our community so special.
