Tucked into the back corner of the Stryker Square shopping plaza in Fairfax, Guava Artisanal Latin Bakery might be easy to miss from the street, but once you discover it, you’ll be coming back for more. The small bakery offers a cozy setup, with a few tables on the sidewalk under a covered area, perfect for enjoying a treat outdoors.
Everything here is made on-site, and the variety is impressive. The menu combines Latin flavors with American and European pastry traditions. If you’re looking for something quick, you’ll find cupcakes, cakes, individual cheesecakes, and much more. Their custom cakes are available for any occasion, and they offer unique options like guava blondies, Dominican cake, tres leches, and traditional alfajores.
Among their most popular items are the passion fruit and dulce de leche cheesecakes, but if you want something savory before diving into dessert, try one of their empanadas—ham & cheese, chicken, or spinach ricotta are all excellent choices.
The passion behind the bakery shines through in every item, making each bite worth savoring.
