Editorial Review of
Azucar
Azucar communicates the Cuban origins of Owner/Chef Vivian Hernandez-Jackson —producing Cuban inspired patisserie that is the sugar to the city of Ocean Beach. Offering specialty Cuban items such as Cuban sandwiches with turkey and pork, papa rellenas (stuffed potato balls), corquetas (small friend rolls containing minced meat, mashed potatoes, and or shell fish and vegetables), pastelitos (baked puffs with filling), Azucar brings a taste of ethnicity to an ordinary lunch or snack in Ocean Beach. More noted for its hand-decorated bakery favorites, such as the light coconut cupcake and red velvet cake, Azucar is known for creating dessert treats with Cuban flair — such as the unique Mojito cookie. Whether you’re in the mood for a Cuban sandwich or a delicate cupcake, this papaya-green establishment will always bring an exotic flavor to the table.
