This is a must -stop any time I am in this area. The coquito frappe, pastries, and cakes were all delicious! I got the birthday bundle and everyone was impressed.

My first time visiting here and all I can say is I absolutely loved it! Excellent customer service was provided and the environment just feels like home away from home. I highly recommend the pastrami sandwich and the quesito for dessert which were both very tasteful and delicious and were made hot and fresh which is a plus. I purchased a few more food items to go but these were for sure my two faves while I sat and ate there. I will be returning back very soon when I am around in the area again. Thank you once again for the great customer service provided today you guys rock!

I took my friend here as she is from Puerto Rico and all I can say is I was only allowed ONE pastelillito lol. I had already had a number of the cupcake flavors at a festival, but being able to taste all the rest, including the flavor of the month, I can say with certainty everything is exquisite. We got the bundle box and everything was eaten in 3 days. Very accessible with two locations and well worth it.

I ordered two birthday bundles (24 mini assorted cakes) for my boyfriend’s birthday this past weekend. The process to order was very easy and the presentation of the cakes was very nice. They were tied with a ribbon and the bakery provided a cake topper. Unfortunately, the taste did not match the presentation. We found the cakes to be extremely sugary and most people could not finish them. It was also hard to decipher the flavor because all we could taste was the sugar. It was disappointing because we were initially interested in this place for all of the amazing flavors they advertised like guava, coconut, hazelnut etc. For the price, I expected better quality in flavor. Not sure I would purchase from here again.

I recently visited Borinken Cakes for the first time and was thrilled with my experience! The Coquito Frappé was delicious—I couldn't believe it was vegan! The pastries were equally delightful, and I'm so glad I decided to try something new. It feels great to support a women-owned business, and I'll definitely be back for more!

I recently picked up some cupcakes for my friends birthday. I walked in with my great nieces and the young lady who took care of us was amazing. When I walk in here I get transported back to my island. The great Puertorican music, the ambience, the friendly staff, and the authentic pastries are simply outstanding. Thank you for bringing a piece of Puerto Rico to the south side of Chicago, this place is a true gem.

Recently, got four of the bizcochitos for a birthday gift. The process was easy. I ordered online and was able to pick up at the time I picked. They were ready to go when I arrived. I was able to try the cakes as well. I had never had them before and they were really good. The cake is moist and the icing is hard. I found the textures to go well together.

Drove all the way over here after work to get cakes for my friend’s birthday during rush hour traffic just for them to be closed a whole hour before their posted closing time. They don’t even answer the phone. Won’t be back.
