Produce - Manatee County

Part bakery part deli. This little sandwich and dessert shop is tucked into the back of a fruit stand with a BBQ joint dangling off the side. I have eaten here three times i the two weeks since I discovered it. Apparently it is known by multiple names so don’t be discouraged. Think of it as a treasure hunt. The folks behind the counter vary from Grand mothers to a biker dude. They will tell you different things about which of them makes the best pie. Get the Cuban sandwich and a personal pineapple upside down cake. Then experiment with some of the other choices when you come back. After two or three Cubans get the half smoked chicken from the BBQ guys and a cherry pie.

Great employees making great sandwiches do the Dirty Bird yummy ? and they added BBQ next door and it's so good. See the menus in my pictures and the pics are made fresh ?

We just visited and I had to pull over and eat!!!! My son got a homemade pie which I didn't get a picture of lol. I got a Cuban and pineapple upside down cake which is my weakness!!! I was treated to a strawberry shortcake and omg I started in the store and like I said had to pull over. The Cuban was the best you can have no complaint. We will be back. Thanks ???????

I stop by this place quite often. The ladies are always friendly and accomodating to my 'special requests '! I have never tried the numberous home made pies they have, they all look delicious but I cannot say how good they are. I have eaten the cookies and they are delicious as well. The cuban is a true cuban not cobbled up on a hoagie roll or sub roll on cuban bread pressed. 'Traditional ' means mustard and pickles besides the meats. I ask for the mustard mayo mix and extra pickles.

I have not bought anything in the Garden bi=ut have bought from their produce stand. Not good, The corn was not fresh and the tomatoes the same. Won't go back.
