The evolution
Versailles eventually expanded to accommodate the now equally popular Versailles Bakery. The bakery makes all the desserts and pastries for the restaurant. Aside from famously sweet and decadent desserts, the bakery carries all the elements for a typical casual Cuban breakfast. Our loyal morning customers come in for a cortadito, a pastelito, and a croqueta, which they enjoy while sitting in the cafe reading their copy of El Nuevo Herald. They may then stroll to "La Ventanita," where they can discuss the latest news with the other regulars.
Our staff are as diverse as our patrons, and many have been with us since we opened forty years ago. They are more than employees; they are like family, not only to us but to the regulars who confide in and share their stories with the staff. Romance, deal making, politics, gossip, celebrity sightings-it's all in a day's work at this sprawling mirrored gem we call home.
An extension of the Versailles brand is Cafe Versailles, a Cuban coffee and pastry stand inspired by the "Ventanita" and bakery. There are currently five Cafe Versailles stands located at the Miami International Airport. Our loyal customers love being able to enjoy their cortaditos, croquetas, pastelitos, or sandwiches while they are at the airport, or even better, take some with them on their journey.
