An update 8 years later…read more.. My quest to try and rate every cortado in the city continues... I picked Panaderia Jimenez by chance because I was looking for something not too far from where I live. Since it's been a little more than a minute since my 1st visit, I decided to see how they've changed in almost a decade. First of all, I adore how they serve the coffee in the traditional Mexican cups that resemble pitchers. I ordered a cortado (with cinnamon and honey) and a Snickers latte. For breakfast I had the jalapeño cheese kolache, and I took some pan dulce home for later (a Mexican wedding cookie, a blueberry empanada, and a mini pink concha). The cortado was lovely, if a wee bit foamy for my liking. The added cinnamon and honey made it very cozy and palatable. The snickers latte was excellent. The kolache's breading was a little thin, and very buttery and flakey, but the sausage was the star. Each bite was snappy and flavorful. I've yet to try the pan dulce, but I'm sure by the way they smell that they're fantastic. Panadería Jimenez reminds me of merienda on Sundays with my family back in Brownsville. Nostalgic, comforting, and familial.

A classmate…read morerecommended Pashina, and before long, the whole class wanted to check it out--and we're so glad we did. We had a wonderful time chatting and enjoying some of the cakes. I believe we tried the Napoleon, Lemon Raspberry, and Double Brownie with Cherry. My favorite was the Napoleon cake: flaky, creamy, layered, and not overly sweet. It even reminded me a bit of baklava. I'd highly recommend the Napoleon cake for a birthday or any special celebration! Parking: There's parking in front of the bakery, along the side by the street, and in the lot behind the building, so finding a spot was easy. Seating: The bakery is small and quaint, which adds to its charm, but seating is limited. There's a small table with a few chairs and a cozy little nook by the window--perfect for enjoying your treats and catching up with friends. Overall, Pashina was a delightful experience, and I'm so happy I got to try something new. I'll definitely be back to sample more of their pastries and cakes! Thank you for having us!

The beef item reminded me of coxinha in Brazil but better - the chewy texture is there without the intense amount of bread. 10/10 would come back, you can taste the passion and attention to detail here.

The lattes are the perfect addition to all their baked goods. It's a small café and they usually run out of their French bread because it's so popular. I just wish I lived closer--unfortunately it's about 45 minutes away from me. In the video I posted, you'll see me really enjoying my treat lol. Service is always good in this small cafe!

By the people that run Comfort Cafe and the sweet Serenity non-profit organization. As it is at…read moreComfort Cafe, all the employees here are part of the recovery program. Customer service is wonderful. Extremely welcoming, love the decor in here. Very brightly painted colorful, smiling cakes and pastries. Plus they have a lot of mineral and healing things for sale, suggested donation prices. Things like angel bars, tarot, sage for smudging, other metaphysical, spiritual goodies. Tried the Chai Tea Latte, which was on the set side- even for me, who adds something like 4 sugars to my drinks- that might have been on me for not asking about it ahead of time though. The rocks and minerals, not going to deny how tempting they were, especially the rainbow colored ones, but unfortunately didn't bring enough cash with me. They are cash only, again like Comfort Cafe. Highly recommended place to stop by and hang out though! They even offer crepes, which I unfortunately did not have the stomach for since I had walked over from Comfort Cafe minutes before. Next time! P.S. Always nice to have free wifi. Password? SweetSerenity111.
