    Pandan Flan Cake
    Serene C.

    If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! Such was my experience in terms of food, service and just overall quality. Everything we got was great but some highlights definitely were the Bella Frita Burger which is so unique and tasty and my husband really enjoyed the Cuban Sandwich. They make everything from scratch and it's evident. I love the empanadas too and the pandan flan cake was so tasty! I can't wait to go back and try more things just cause we couldn't try everything at once the first time. I'd also say that the owner was so sweet and she was so personable and friendly. She took the time to explain everything and was just the best! We are definitely going back!!!

    If you like flan, this is where you go. I didn't know flan came in so many different flavors/varieties... and they're all good! The flans come in nice plastic containers too, ready to be stored in your fridge. I haven't tried the other food and pastries at the shop, only the flans, but they all look good.

    Delicious little sweet treat and coffee. Grab a flan to eat there or to go. Plenty of options in the case. Some food options as well, although I didn't try this time. Limited seating inside.

    Black Bean Burger with sweet plantains

    SOOOO GLAD I FOUND THIS PLACE WHILE AT WORK. Its top notch! The customer service is amazing, there is a sweet lady there who is such a joy, Id stop by there just to see her if I could. They are vegetarian friendly having meatless options for everything on the menu. This is my second time trying the black bean burger and its just as amazing as the first time i tried it. Bursting with so much FLAVOR. Their cuisine is cuban inspired so my next purchase will be trying the vegetarian cuban sandwich! Cant wait. Give them a try the bean burger is the best Ive ever had, taste fresh, flavorful, and its huge. The place looks lovely inside and does have a couple of seating tables if you wanna grab a bite inside. Give this place a try!

    My mom brought me this for lunch the other day. First time eating Cuban food and OMG was it ever so delicious! The seafood stuffed potato balls were to d-i-e for!!! I will absolutely try more items in their menu. Yummy!!!

    The lady who seems to be the face of the place is the sweetest person on Earth I believe. The portions are large and definitely shareable. I got the Cuban wrap and it comes with fresh made plantain chips that they serve with a yummy mojo sauce. Ask for extra. The desserts! The desserts! That strawberry cheese pastry is scrumptious. I definitely should have gotten 2. I also got the ube flan cake. I'm not even a custard fan, but their custard is so good. It has the best texture. These desserts are addictive.

    Rejoice California transplants! If you long and miss Porto's, this place will bring tears of fatty joy and nostalgia. Not only is the owner here the sweetest person, they take great pride in their fantastic food. The interior has a cheerful & welcoming atmosphere to complement the service. I took my friends who are Cuban food snobs and they were blown away by the food here. Here are my top favorites that will delight your culinary palate: 1. Guava Pastelito/ Guava & Cheese pastelito. Words can't describe this culinary delight so try it yourself and you'll see why words doesn't do this justice. 2. Quesitos (cheese roll) Amazing, flakey sweet roll with a gentle vanilla cream cheese filling. It's so rich but dangerous because I put away 4 rolls without realizing it. 3. Crawfish Potato Ball If you love crawfish etouffee, this is like savory little etouffee bites stuffed in a potato ball. These things are huge! Like small baseballs! The Cuban sandwiches are bursting full of flavor and the plantain chips are the best I've ever had. I'll be leaving more reviews as I sample everything on the menu while succumbing to fattiness.

    I feel really guilty that I haven't reviewed them sooner. Bella flan has been a staple and go to restaurant for me since they opened. I love a good sandwich, and their Cubano is second to none. I have been trying to get back to be vegetarian these last few months, and I will tell you...their vegetarian Cubano is just as good, or even better! It's a cute little space, and the service is amazing. The owner is so sweet! She always remembers me, and thanks me for coming in. Today was my daughter's bday, and all she wanted for dinner was a quesadilla from Bella Flan. I mentioned to her in passing that it was my daughter's bday, and she gave her a treat on the house! Great food, great service, great people. I highly recommend

    Great food in an unassuming plaza. Service is top notch. She was so friendly. The Cuban sandwich is a must! There are also lots of pastries that were great. If you love Cuban coffee, they make a really good one here. It is hard to find one made right in dfw. Save room for dessert! Parking was easy. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

    An absolute gem in Richardson -- we'll definitely be back!…read more La Casita Bakeshop completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and welcoming, and our server Diana made the whole experience. She was knowledgeable, genuinely enthusiastic about the menu, and so pleasant to talk to -- exactly the kind of hospitality that turns a good meal into a great one. The food itself was outstanding. We ordered the French Toast and the Birria Brisket Croque Madame, and both were incredible -- beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The Croque Madame especially blew us away; it's the kind of dish you think about after you leave. The side hash rounded it all out perfectly. And then there are the pastries. We grabbed the Mango Sticky Rice Cream Puff and the Amaretto Cherry Basque Cheesecake Brownie from the Weekend Selections -- both were stunning, not just visually but in flavor. The cheesecake brownie topped with those cherry meringues looked almost too good to eat. Almost. Washed everything down with the Salted Honey Matcha and it was the perfect companion to the whole spread. Honestly, the hardest part was choosing -- the menu is so creative and well thought-out that we already have a list of things we want to try next time. And there will be a next time. La Casita has earned a regular customer. Highly, highly recommend.

    This place is pretty good. I was impressed with the grab and go fresh bread they offer. Next time I…read moreneed a loaf of sourdough I know where to go. This place is two concepts in one. Full service brunch on the left with a hostess and a full coffee bar with pastries and grab and the go fresh bread. I didn't come for anything specific other than to check it out. I wanted to get an iced tea since it was hot out, but I didn't see that on the menu. I may have missed it and didn't ask though. My wife ordered a coffee drink. She said it was very strong. I could tell since she was bouncing around the house for the next few hours driving me nuts lol. The pastries were fresh and flavorful. They are the real reason for the visit and it did not disappoint. The tart was crisp and flavorful. The puff had some rice in it. It was okay. I didn't really get any mango though. I do plan on coming back to try other offerings. That freshly baked bread was so nice and warm I really need to plan a meal around it. The full service restaurant looked fine, but the ambiance wasn't very cozy. I would probably order it to go and have it at a nearby park or something.

    WHAT I ORDERED: A dozen egg tarts…read more PARKING: Shared parking lot with limited spots INSIDE: Simple shop that's really more for to go orders. Very nice gentleman who runs the shop. As of January 2025, it costs $35 for a dozen. Will need to call ahead to place your order and keep in mind, it's cash only. THE FOODS: Hong Kong style egg tarts that's the right amount of flakiness and buttery goodness. The custard filling is smooth and the perfect sweetness. Go support!

    This shop looks like it's seen better days, but they still have the same yummy egg tarts!…read more When I arrived, the door was locked and the shop was empty, even though it was during their opening hours. There's two phone numbers on the door. I called the top one (972-815-7560) which was written more clearly. A lady answered, and we spoke a mix of mediocre Mandarin and mediocre English. (The reviews say they speak Cantonese.) She said my order of a dozen would take 30-35 min, $35, cash only. I set an alarm and napped in the car. After 40 min, I stepped into the store and greeted Dragon Mak (who now appropriately looks decades older than his photo on the wall). As we waited for the egg tarts to finish baking, we chatted in broken Mandarin about how his wife passed away 6 months ago, how much it cost to bury her, how much it cost to purchase his nearby home decades ago, how he used to live in the Houston Chinatown and how affordable it was back in the day... Tl;dr - Scrumptious fresh egg tarts made to order Call to place order for pickup: 972-815-7560 Cash only, no $50 or $100 bills (something about a counterfeit bill scare??) As of 12/2024, $35 a dozen

    I recently visited Big Dash and I'm still thinking about the desserts!…read more The hazelnut baklava tasted just like a Ferrero Rocher -- rich, nutty, chocolatey, and perfectly sweet. Absolutely delicious. The butter cookie roll was soft, buttery, and indulgent without being overwhelming. But the real star was the kinafa. The cheese pull was INSANE , perfectly crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. Easily the best thing I tried. Don't walk, run to try their desserts. You won't regret it!

    This is a bittersweet review for us to write. As you can see, we posted our first glorious review…read morein 2017 when Bigdash first opened and could not have loved this place more. It was SO special. We haven't been back in many years and not only did that magical original location close, but what we found instead was this monstrosity of a location that felt hyper corporatized and commercial--in other words, soulless. Listen, we don't begrudge them their success. And we were so happy for them when we saw them being mentioned in the NYT a few years ago. But now Bigdash has gone full American--they've expanded to multiple locations, the quality has gone down, and that je-ne-sais-quoi magic is completely gone. We came here yesterday after a stellar meal at Khashoka, excited since it's been so long since our last visit. We walked in (it was freezing) and the whole place looked like a Disney-ified version of the original Big Dash. There was one woman working, and she was very friendly, but what a different experience than mingling with the original owners in the unpretentious cozy ambience. The worst part is that the ice cream is nowhere near as good! The original Arabic ice cream's level of rose water was off and the ice cream's stretchiness felt less organically created. The pistachio was OK. Our daughter got this crazy container of small individual frozen fruit shapes that were covered in chocolate. Those felt cute and special and we liked them all except for the grape. Again, we're happy for Bigdash's success. They deserve it. But we will not be back again because what we loved so much about this place is no longer. Tis the American way, alas! Three stars and sincere best wishes to them.
