I visited this shop yesterday 8/10. Me and my girlfriend were welcomed immediately by the staff. My girlfriend recommend getting a cheesecake from this place from a viral tiktok video. I, who loves cheesecake, came to check it out. We ordered the Empire State cheesecake. I noticed they had a Mexican sour gummy candy so I thought it would be a great addition. I was glad when I did because when I tried it after leaving the store. I was amazed how good it is so I had to run back and buy two more! While sweets are my favorite, sour candies are always the top tier choice for me. I will say this, the cheesecake is amazing! I can’t wait to stop by again soon!

Ok, so my friend who lives in Hells Kitchen, mentioned a few weeks ago, that I MUST go to Huascar Bakery. He said that he and his partner goes all the time, and that it’s one of the best bakeries in the city. Me being a foodie and food vlogger, I was instantly intrigued! I was also a bit disappointed that I never heard of them :-( . But as I say, better late than never, right?! I made it my business to get to Huascar’s!
So, I pull up, and I start filming outside the bakery, first. It’s a small, humble-sized bakery, with cute decor. The inside is small and cute. I love the utilization of the board, where they have their name, as well as the menu items. The wall with the flowers on it is sooo cute! I really dug it and even got lost in its beauty for a few seconds! Their display case of all their goodies is thee most tempting site to behold! They think they slick lol. I wanted EVERYTHING! The woman who was working, was a DOLL! Ugh! She was the sweetest, and most helpful. We joked and laughed and talked about sweets we love, what I should try that was seasonal, I mean we had a great time. I really appreciated her and she contributed to the experience just as much as the baked goods. The owner then came out to greet me and he was super sweet. He asked about my food vlog and we chatted with me for a bit. I expressed my excitement to try his cupcakes, considering he won Cupcake Wars on Food Network!
Ok, speaking of the cupcakes, I’ll use that as a segue to get into what I ate! The first being……yes! A cupcake lol. I tried the guava peaches and cream cupcake, which….girl. This cupcake was done beautifully. It was topped with this guava cream cheese frosting, crumble, and drizzled with guava. It was stuffed with peaches and LOTS.OF.GUAVA! This cupcake was fluffy, lite and airy. It was absolute perfection, and it was truly a flavor journey that I didn’t want to end. I also tried their key lime pie, which was beyond impressive. I have had thee best key lime pie from Key West, and Huascar’s Bakeshop holds its own! They DID.THAT.CUSTARD! It was the perfect amount of lime flavor, nicely rich and laid atop a thick graham cracker crust. It was topped with lime zest and whipped cream. This pie was made with love. You taste it in every bite. Lastly, I tried the Black Forest cake which was cake….at its finest. The cake itself was MOIST! Paired with the cherry and whipped cream??? Fuh-get about it! It was served in a jar, which, just made it more fun to eat for some reason.
Again, I was soo disappointed that I was late to the Huascar Bakeshop party, but I’m glad that I finally got to go and enjoy its divinity! Gooooooooo to Huascar’s!!

Most of their products are food, except for macarons. They're just plain shaped marzipan, not macarons

They have a lot of great and unique items, and are famous for their cupcakes. But I always make a stop here when in NYC to get, literally, the best chocolate chip cookie on the planet.
Try the basil pineapple cupcake and the oatmeal cookie!! Everything is delicious, including the cafe au lait. Everyone is super friendly too. We weren't able to try the tiramisu or the spiked tres leches or the banana pudding but we will next time!
Way too much chocolate icing on the cake I purchased. Proportion of icing to cake was off, making it difficult to eat. Dulce de leche was fine, but hard was overpowered. Overpriced for a four layer cake for 12 people
This is the only place that not only do I get my cakes and cupcakes but also my daughters every year. Hauscar does not fail. Love him so much I am stingy with sharing my baker
I ordered the tres leches and unfortunately I couldn’t finish it as there was too much alcohol. I realize now there is another review with the same feedback. The alcohol is so strong that takes all the flavor away :(

I discovered Huascar & Company on a recent trip to NYC. It is hard to say which we loved more, the incredible cookies or how amazing Natty was to talk to. I thought she was the owner because it is a rare quality to find someone with that much passion and love for the business who isn't. Truly, a wonderful experience and a bakery I look forward to supporting on my next visit.
Love this place! Had the Biscoff cupcake and it might be my favorite one ever! Love supporting a local shop!
