If you told me that Brownsville, Texas had a sweets shop that sold trendy jiggly Japanese…read morecheesecakes, I'd laugh in your face. I'm pretty sure I can't even find fluffy jiggly cheesecake in San Antonio, what makes you think Brownsville would, for once, have the leg up on that trend? Well, I ended up eating my words. And friends, my words were in the form of this delicious cheesecake. So, we ordered this cheesecake through DoorDash, but we did also swing by the actual cafe in person to check it out. The cafe is pretty bare bones from what I remember, and they sometimes have cakes available to walk in and buy, but for the most part, they prefer you order ahead. And then we saw they did DoorDash. So. Yeah. Naturally, we got one. The cheesecake arrived with fresh strawberries on the side, and a light dusting of powdered sugar. Cutting into it was like cutting into a cloud. The taste? Wow. Heaven. Think the perfect marriage between angel food cake and cheesecake. It's so incredibly light but also retains a moist texture. I know these cakes use a lot of egg, but this cake wasn't eggy in the slightest. Overall, it was a delightful, satisfying slice and I think I vastly, VASTLY prefer it over regular cheesecake now. San Antonio has to get on the ball, cause this little shop nailed the recipe for Japanese cheesecake. A+, y'all. We'll need to order it again the next time I'm in town.

Everybody I spoke to over the phone and in person while picking up my cakes was VERY polite, attentive and nice. The cakes themselves (the execution) exceeded my expectations, both of my babies received exactly what they were asking for and they were blown away!:) As far as the flavor, my daughter is eating it right now saying, "OH MY GOD, it's too yami":) my husband who is not a cake eater admitted that both cakes were way better than he expected. For my taste the flavor and texture were just ok, but I have to admit that I grew up eating decadent gourmet cakes and it's really hard to impress me with cake flavor these days. Overall it was an amazing experience! And we highly recommend this place if you are in a mood for some beautiful sweet stuff:) THANKS to everyone from Monique's Cake Company!

As for the atmosphere he said that it felt welcoming and ready to serve their client. I am one satisfied customer will definitely return for more cakes. Thank you

They have a respectable assortment of pan dulce to choose from, including the all-time favorites like conchas, empanadas, marranitos, the sprinkle cookies, and the sprinkle cake (recently re-branded as dot cake to the kiddos). The prices here can't be beat. In San Antonio, a selection of pan the size my mom got would be well over $20. We paid $12.50 for our haul. Of course, back in the day I'm sure that would have been much less, but by today's standards that's still an excellent price. The quality is also pretty good. I ate the giant Mexican wedding cookie that was shaped like a normal sized cookie instead of the quarter-sized balls you typically see. It was buttery and crunchy. So glad we got to try it.

This was our first time having brunch here and they were super helpful with explaining the menu (since there is a lot of French) and recommended for us to try the Croquettes. My boyfriend loved them!! I on the other hand was not very fond of the taste but I still had one :) I had the croissant sandwich and that was the best croissant and best sandwich I have ever had 10/10. It was super filling and the croissant just melts in your mouth. I had tried their pastries before and I HAVE EVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED PLS GO TRYYYY!! (If they ever make those beignets from agave fest again I would go every week for my fix) My boyfriend had the Canard Et Gaufre which is duck and waffles and he really enjoyed the duck. The only issue with this dish was that you can't eat it without using your hands or getting dirty. Other than that this is definitely a must try if you like chicken and waffles.
