29106339Feb 18, 2023I visit this place mostly for bubble/boba tea and have tried their cakes twice. Honestly, the cakes are never fresh that's one thing I have observed and the bubble tea is above average. A friend of mine recommended their avocado toast, that's something I would try the next time and hope that's better!

AWESOME Mini Coconut Pie. Espresso Cuban eye opener style, Cuban Sandwich is good, Bubble area options too. Service is a two person pace and place has limiting seating, but I believe worth the wait for take out order.

Small place, where mostly good is served. attentive service.
You can also order ahead.

Fresh bread and Pattie's served daily.
Service is as fast as the one flat bread toaster for sandwiches ordered.
It is a tiny place, sitting six to eight only, order out and ahead are ongoing options.

2. Coffee was delicious.
3. Friendly Staff.
CONS
1. I like their Cuban Pan De Manteca but I wish they made Puerto Rican Pan Sobao which is Sweeter than Pan De Manteca...

Nicole M.Midtown East, Manhattan, NY2132Dec 19, 2021I love this place, they have an awesome Cuban sandwich at a great price/portion. They have cute pastries and cakes and I've tried their beef empanadas which are pretty good as well

My favorite bakery in this area from their coffee and their sandwiches to the service. If you are in the area visiting or not stop by and try their delicious coffee and their Pasteles de guava personally love it all and have been coming here for 25 years

Bin K.NJ, NJ224917Jul 16, 2020I have friends who live in town and they come here for the cortadito. Bakery looks amazing with all the sweets. Tiramisu cake, Japanese Cheesecake, rice pudding and bread pudding. Also spinach and cheese empanada. After 4pm all Asian pastries are $1.00!

Horrible. I ordered from them 2 days before I was supposed to pick up my order and when I arrived they told me my order was not ready for
The time I requested, & if I wanted it I would have to wait an extra hour. I asked for a refund and they said they couldn't give me a refund until the manager arrives. No one could tell me when that would be! Very disappointed, that acted like I was annoying them!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
