I ordered pastries, empanadas, and flan for a small catering order around the holidays, and everything was fantastic. The staff was super helpful when I placed the order and again on pickup, making everything easy. The food was a huge hit. My guests loved everything! I'll definitely be back.

This place is a real gem! Hands down the best cuban pastries and coffee in the area! Everything we’ve ever ordered has been great! We particularly love the fried beef empanadas, croquetas, espresso, and the pastel de queso.

Very impressive display of pastries here. The pastelitos de guava are superb - nicely caramelízed. And the pastelitos de carne were also surprising and delightful. I will return!

The food, coffee, display, and the prices make this place worth it. Most of the women are queens and have always been very kind. Unfortunately, the customer service at this place has severely downgraded. It’s only an observation but it seems that mostly older Hispanic people/men get the most attention.
I want to bring awareness to this issue because I don’t think I deserve to be judged, mocked right in front of my face (they use Central American slang to cover it up - funny enough my parents are also from Central America) or ignored by a select few of the ladies that work here. But I have to call out the weekday crew like the one with the very long dark hair/bandana and long skirt.
This has happened on several occasions where I get ignored and the ladies serve other customers that came after me. One time, the one lady acknowledged me, then took another person’s order. Recently, two of them were chatting and ignored me, the usual. I let it pass bc it wasn’t big deal. What bothered was that, I quickly looked down on my phone and the one who attended me was getting impatient and kept asking me if that was going to be all. I said yes, was about to give them my card when they turned their back to talk to their friend and then I was the one who had to repeat myself. It left a bad taste, it’s unfortunate. I know I’ll feel happier taking my business elsewhere, knowing that I will be treated like a normal person.

This bakery is geniusss!!!! I wanted a chess themed cake for my chess loving pre-teen son and this bakery absolutely rocked it. The attention to detail was impeccable. Given the fact I asked them to make it in a one day’s notice. Bouldering the cake with KitKat was a genius idea too. The cake tasted as yummy and as fresh as it looked. Hands down the best bakery in the neighborhood. You made my son so happy.

The owner of this place should see how the clients of this place are treated by the service they send, take action on the matter but you are going to lose a lot of clients due to the terrible service of the ladies who work there.

Food is decent. Most bakeries and restaurants in the area have pulled away from real cuban recipes, catering to other nationalities. Baked desserts are decent but cheap; not so can be said by their cakes. Super sweet and with artificial flavoring comes through. Texture is dense and dry. I stopped buying their cakes after 2 tries years ago. Miss a good cuban bakey!
