Guava Bites Cookies by Conchita. 4.9 oz. Pack of 2

Guava Bites are small shortbread-style cookies with a guava jam center — the same guava-and-pastry pairing that defines Cuban bakery counters, scaled down to a one-bite cookie.

Conchita produces these for the diaspora market: shelf-stable, lunch-friendly, and built around the guava flavor Cuban kids grow up associating with breakfast and merienda.

Common Uses: afternoon merienda, breakfast alongside café con leche, lunchbox dessert, crumbled over yogurt or ice cream, served on a coffee tray with pastelitos.

Cultural Context: guayaba is the flavor of Cuban childhood — pastelitos de guayaba on Saturday mornings, guava paste with cream cheese at every gathering. These cookies translate that flavor into a portable format for the Cuban-American household where the panadería is a two-hour drive away.

Pairs With: Café Bustelo or La Llave cafecito, cream cheese, Materva or Jupiña on the side, vanilla ice cream for an easy dessert.

Common In: diaspora pantry restocking, care packages to college students, weekday lunchboxes, cafecito break trays.

Two 4.9 oz packs ship nationwide — a small thing, but the kind of small thing that makes a kitchen in Orlando or New Jersey feel a little more like home.
