Pinho’s Bakery & Deli

A local family-​owned and operated business, this place is as good as it gets for fresh sandwiches and baked pastries. The Pinho’s work hard to provide fresh food, in a clean restaurant. Tony bakes amazing traditional Brazilian and Portuguese and American pastries, while his son Jimmy runs the deli counter, making overstuffed subs and hot sandwiches at a decent price. they’ve been in North Andrews Gardens since around 1999, and I’ve been a customer ever since. Good place

I always get a sub sandwhich here. They are made to order with the freshest ingredients. My favorite is the roast beef and cheese. If you order a large sub here, it will easily make two meals! They also have empanadas and dirty potato chips. If you go during the lunch hour, be prepared to get creative with parking. The small lot behind their establishment is sure to be full.

I’ve passed this place for years and never went in, until my niece recommended it. Great sandwiches and the BEST mini éclair I’ve ever eaten, and I’ve had my share. Definitely worth a visit.

A small mom/​pop sandwich place with great food and service. Co workers brought us here for lunch and it was surprisingly crowded as we arrived around 1130am (early lunch). I ordered a salad as well as a sandwich and controlled my fat self from getting the pastries which looked so inviting.
Why eat at subway when you can support a small business???

Apparently I forgot to review this place.
I’ll admit though — I came to this place twice only. And didn’t get anything the first time. Why? I came specifically for one thing, and one thing only!
Pasteis de Nata. The venerable Portuguese burnt egg custard tarts looks somewhat like a crème brûlée in a tart crust. It’s nothing like the Chinese version — the Portuguese came up with it first. The Chinese just tried to copy it after the Portuguese colony Macau exposed them to it.
Anyways… in ALL of South Florida, there’s only two places that I know where this treat could be retrieved (besides in a restaurant setting at any one of the Portuguese restaurants in Miami). Seabra supermarket in Pompano Beach, and this little bakery run by real Portuguese people.
And I’ll just say it’s good, and thankfully so, considering that there’s not really much of an option. It’s still not the best I’ve had — the honor goes to the Pasteis de Belem of Lisboa, in which it’s perfectly warm, creamy, tasty on its own, and can be further customized and sweetened by spreading powder sugar and/​or cinnamon on top to each person’s liking. Here, as in Seabra, it’s good on its own as it’s already made sweetened.
But considering that this place is much closer than Pompano Beach, coming from Miami, this is a great find. Try to come early, and maybe call ahead of time, because they DO run out of them (which is why I wasn’t able to get them the first time I visited).

My 401^st review and I’m happy to give it to Pinho’s. I frequently order my subs from Publix or
LaSpada’s, but now they have some competition. They are on vacation right now, and I am craving their subs so much. Their subs are huge, and at a great price. Small cold subs are $ 5.50 and their large subs are $ 8.50 (guaranteed two meals for the large sub). They use Boar’s head meats and freshly baked bread. Their ingredients are always fresh and really generous. I can’t say enough about how great, fresh and filling their subs are.
They also sell breakfast, breads, empanadas, cakes and pastries.

After reading the reviews I thought I’d stop in and check them out for some croissants to make sandwiches for a road trip the next day. They must do good business because when I came in nearly everything was gone. Thankfully they had two croissants left and that was what I needed. Now I can’t comment about much else, but these croissants ($ 1 each) were huge disks of buttery flakiness; each roughly larger than my palm. They were delicious and made for a delectable base to our turkey, avocado, sprouts and mayo sandwiches (plus provolone on mine).
When I walked in, it was about 10 minutes to 3 on a Saturday afternoon and was told they would be closing shortly. I’m not sure if this was for the day or just for the afternoon and they’d reopen later. The place was clean with a simple yet homey feel and layout. I’ll be back again for more croissants and hopefully to try some other goodies.

A small operation bakery and deli that is worth stopping in any time.
I popped in the other day, mostly as it is very close to where I start my day. I didn’t know what to expect as I walked in.
The interior is stark. A very simple layout that almost seemed that they were at the «soft open» stage. I felt blessed in a way, as most people can end up judging a restaurant by its cover, and this place was so much more.
As there was really only one other customer at the time i arrived, I got to my ordering within minutes. I got a few croissants and a mix of empanadas for the office. Being greedy I had one of each.
Very good on both accounts. The empanada was a spinach. Tasty and crispy, it was all that I could want. I got the cigar croissant as well. It was very good too, with a nice array of sweetness and almonds scattered across the top.
I would recommend popping in here soon, before the word gets out and you have to wait far longer in line!

I decided to give this place a try as it’s right down the street and I love finding new places around the neighborhood to try. It’s located next to a BP station and parking is in the rear so parking might be tricky during busier times.
When I walked in I was greeted immediately and everyone was super friendly. They were nice, helpful, and it seemed like they knew so many of the patrons by name. It was great.
I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki sandwich because they were out of steak and it was pretty damn tasty! I’ll have to go back to try the philly cheese next time. My wife also enjoyed her sandwich and she also would order from the place again. We ordered some chicken empanadas as sides and they were tasty. :)
Everything tastes fresh here and they do run out of meats depending on the time of day which is a good thing because that really does mean things are fresh and not sitting around overnight.
Definitely give this place a try!

There’s 20 mins of my life I will never get back after reading the great reviews I decided to give it a try really off the beaten path in a run down part of town finally found it only to be told they had no HAM come on that’s a basic for a deli NO HAM

Pinho’s is near my office so my co-​workers and I have eaten breakfast and lunch here many, many times. While there is a wide variety of restaurants in the area, Pinho’s is the best deli, no doubt. The prices are reasonable, the service friendly and quick, and the sandwiches are big and tasty. It’s my go-​to, standard, not-sure-what-I-want-today-so-pick-Pinho’s default. Like Times New Roman 12pt or «use Recommended settings?», going to Pinho’s is a no brainer. If you are a man or eat like a man, or maybe a bear or bear-​dog-​man, then this is the deli for you. Pinho’s also has salads, which I’m sure are good, too, but I don’t eat salads.

Always fresh Portuguese goodies. The best are the shrimp & crab empanadas as well as the cod croquettes. They go fast though so try to go as early as possible. Sandwiches are good. The pastries are excellent.

We work in a storefront shopping center in the neighborhood and order from Pinhos frequently. Having tried many of the different eateries in the neighborhood, I have found this place to be the best. Ingredients are fresh, portions are more than generous. Most menu items are big enough to be shared. The salads are big enough to share, or split between two meals. The chocolate chip cookies (if you like chocolate) are to die for!

Pinho’s is the go to place if you need food for a luncheon meeting. The food is always fresh, delivered on time, and Jimmy is so courteous. Our office managers rave about it. Soon, you will not be able to get in the door.

This is the third time I’ve been in and they are out once again of what I wanted. The first time I asked if they had wheat bread no they didn’t. What about muenster cheese they didn’t have that either like really who doesn’t stock up on stuff. I went in a couple days ago to see if I changed my mind on the place they did have the stuff so I got my sub/​wrap and it was good. Well now I go in and they don’t have the turkey. Like really this is ridiculous I don’t think ill come back I don’t care how good that sub was. I won’t come back! Don’t waste your time here.

Great salads & subs!

Well established bakery/​sub shop right between uptown and downtown on Andrews. I think you can actually see both (modest) skylines, one of the few spots that you can. I’ve been going here for a while now and seen the renovations and expansions. It meets all my qualifications of local, authentic with value. The pastries are huge and rich. The salads are fresh and big and the subs are the best this side of Laspadas! The owners are friendly and with all of BSO in all the time, there will never be a stickup here!

This place is amazing! Everything is so fresh and delicious. A long established, family owned and operated business that brings back the meaning of business in America. I love going to places like this rather than the «mills» that pump out preservative laden foods. The Pinho’s are nice and welcoming when you walk in. Smiles everywhere — and they make a heck of a baked good!
The danish and crossaints are especially tasty. Great job!

I feel a little bad that it’s taken me so long to give Pinho’s the review it deserves, because I have been enjoying this place for awhile now. I think it’s more than time to spread the word! This slightly hidden gem has some of the best subs I’ve had in the area, and I love a good sub, so you’ll have to trust me on this one.
Pinho’s makes the usual Boar’s Head deli subs, but don’t think they’re your average sub. The subs are generous and overstuffed, made to order, and the prices are more than reasonable. A 6″ sub is more than enough for my lunch, but I always get the 12″ and save the rest for another delicious lunch the next day. They offer hot subs and sandwiches too, but I haven’t tried one of those, since I think they only make them on weekdays and I always visit on Saturdays. Try the sweet peppers, I love getting a little order of those to go with my sandwich. Finally, the staff is great, and have remembered us (even our order!) from our first visit, which makes you feel welcome. The place itself is very clean and looks great.
The thing that gives Pinho’s the edge for me over comparable places like La Spada’s is the bakery section. They recently expanded into the space next door and now have a deli counter and an even bigger bakery section. Like others have mentioned, they have some good savory stuff here too, like empanadas, croquettes, and seafood cakes (the best). But if you have a sweet tooth, you’re in for a treat. They have all sorts of baked goods from cookies to cakes to breads, and each one I’ve tried has been better than the last. Love their double chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies, fudge brownies, raspberry bars, custard cups… I could go on and on. Everything tastes like homemade. My absolute favorite has to be the little apricot tarts they make on occasion. I’ve never had anything like them, they’re sooo good. I just wish they made them more often. (Most of the baked goods go pretty quickly, so go early for a better selection.) If you go, give them a try — just leave some for me!
So, if you’re in need of a darn good sub and some sweet treats, definitely check this one out.

I’ve been coming here now for the last 5 years, and consistently fabulous. Came back here 2 days in a row, with my ‘crew’ of 8 from work.
order the big fresh baked cookies, custard cups, fresh semolina rolls, and seafood croquettes early, they go quick!!!
by mid afternoon, all my fav treats are gone!!!
Finally did the review adn added pics.
