Bottom of the cake overcooked and tough with no milk at the bottom and as tres leches cake should be.
Tomeka C.

Bought a cookies and cream cake from Capy on 88th for our daughter's 9th birthday and the cake was delicious. We thought about that cake since, it was so good! Fast forward to today, our daughter is 11 and decided to order the same cake. This time the cake was overcooked and we were underwhelmed. Was not soaked as a tres leches cake should be. The bottom was clearly tough. It just didn't taste the same. So disappointed. Sad to say we won't be coming back to them for another cake anytime soon.

I randomly found this cake store along Roosevelt Avenue under the 7 Train. I walked in and realized they had all kinds of tres leches cake. I love tres leches cakes. This cake store/bakery looked really clean from outside. Once I walked inside....it is even more clean which is impressive being that it's located right underneath the 7 train. There is so much space in this retail store that I didn't understand why they didn't make it into a cafe with tables and chairs. If you are not familiar with what a tres leches cake is, tres leches cake is in Spanish, three milks cake which is a cake that is soaked in three kinds of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. It's my favorite kind of cake because it's moist all the time since it's soaked in milk. The cake doesn't fall apart...it is wet but without being too soggy. I don't know how that can be, but it works. Only problem is, I am lactose intolerant...but for this slice of cake, I am willing to take a palm of about 20 lactase enzyme supplements. Capy has a variety of flavored tres leches cakes. Capy is a chain of cake stores that originated in Mexico. Capy mostly sells 9-inch diameter cakes that range from $38-$45. A 9-inch cake will feed about 12-15 people. The best part for me is Capy also sells slices of their cakes. I have tried the almond, mango and peach cake....I loved the mango the most. My boyfriend was making "....Mmmmm...." sounds alternating with exclamations of "...Oh My Gawd!.." at me when we were sharing the mango slice of cake. For $3.75, it is sure yummy!

Moras con queso...tres leches and cream cheese filling topped with blackberries

Light Latin Sweets If I didn't work in the neighborhood, I would have never known about this chain bakery. Their cakes are light and not overwhelmingly sweet. Their English isn't so good so you might have trouble ordering if you don't know what you want. I'm gonna let this secret out that I've been keeping for quite a while. Their best cake is a hybrid Tres Leches Cake with cheese cream, with blackberry jam topping. The bottom layer is decadent Tres Leches and the "Cheese Cream" taste like cheese cake. It is called "Moras Con Queso." I usually don' enjoy sweets but this Moras Con Queso is one of the best cakes I've ever had in my life. They might have a slice if you are lucky but you have to order in advance to acquire a whole cake. Moras con Queso is a must!

Cappuccino and strawberry cake

Love their cakes. They are so delicious and the best thing is they were able to customize my favorite flavors for a baby shower!

I was here on a Friday mid-morning. There were a tray of buns and the crust as well as the bun was…read morehard. Had to search for softer buns. There was a tray of Tee-Doy decided not to buy any of them because they were all hard. Got 2 of the fish sandwiches and 2 of the chicken sandwiches. The prices for both sandwiches and bun have jumped up since January. I stopped here to get items for family and relatives/friends. Not impressed with their chicken sandwiches for they were hard and there is tendon in one other chicken sandwich has area that was not edible. The quality definitely not what it use to be here. There were lots of seats and tables for patrons to sit. Notice less foot traffic at this store.

This is one of the busy cafes in Elmhurst that has the most variety of items…read more They offer things such as cakes, Chinese breads, mochi donuts and more. I decided to try their Coconut Pandan cake which was enjoyable except for the jelly they had in the middle. The cake itself was pretty moist and the cream had a nice Pandan flavor. The Portuguese egg tart is what you would expect from one of these bakery's, very basic but it was nice and flaky. The milk tea was also okay, we asked for less sugar so it was not too sweet. We also got the sesame mochi to go and this was delicious! Definitely the best thing I bought from this bakery. The sesame paste was nice and strong but not too gritty and the mochi was super soft. I have to go back to grab another when I get the chance!

We came by the day before Mother's Day, so they had pre decorated Mother's Day cakes. You can also place an order. Service is quick and friendly. We initially planned on getting a Strawberry Shortcake, as that seemed to be the cake to get. However, we opted for the Cheesecake, because we were able to add fresh strawberries (and whipped cream) on top! I'm not a fan of whipped cream, so I avoided that, but everyone seemed to enjoy. It had a good creamy texture and was not too sweet. The strawberries were indeed fresh. The pound cake was soft and airy. The vanilla flavor comes through. I will have to try the Marbled version next time! Note: Cash Only! A regular customer ordered the tiramisu cake; said it was the best cake ever, so will have to try that next time!

This bakery is amazing--everything is made in-house, and it always smells incredible when you walk…read morein. A friend recommended it to me, and I've already ordered two birthday cakes from here. The tiramisu cake was absolutely delicious, honestly one of the best I've ever had. I didn't even know you could customize a tiramisu cake since it's usually served the traditional way, but they made it exactly how I wanted. As someone who loves tiramisu, this really stood out. I also ordered a strawberry shortcake, and it was just as impressive. The buttercream was so good , light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Everyone loved it, and there wasn't a single slice left. The owner's son (I believe) was super helpful, he really takes the time to understand what you want and brings it to life perfectly. I've also tried their croissants, which are huge and delicious, and the hero bread is excellent too. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash.I'll definitely be ordering all my cakes from here moving forward!
