    Flan
    Michelle O.

    I stopped by looking for an afternoon sweet treat and was not disappointed. I was hoping to try their slice of dulce de leche cake, but sadly it was out of stock. I got these instead: Flan - dense, sweet and flavorful. It's great. Tres leches - it came in a cup and with a whipped cream topping. I loved the flavors and how the cake soaked up all the milks here. This being in cup form also makes it perfect to bring to a picnic.

    Is what I asked for

    Worst cake I have ever bought. Did not look at all like my picture, I asked for fondant and they changed me for fondant and gave me the complete opposite. I took the cake because I had no other choice. Worst customer service I have ever experience and they did not care at all. They charged me $200 for the cake and it was not worth it. Do not waste your time or money at this place. I wish I could upload a picture of this horrible and disgusting cake they gave me.

    Pros: * Super accommodating, they took my order in the morning and said the cake would be ready in just a few hours * Cake was decorated perfectly, even better than I expected. I asked for a tennis ball and they absolutely nailed it. Picture attached. * Pricing - Totally fair. Major Con: * The cake did not taste good. I've had Dominican cake before and it tasted nothing like this. This had an odd savory flavor. My entire family didn't like it. Such a bummer.

    Terribly made chocolate cake

    My 5 year old baby cousin could've done a better job. It was supposed to say 21!! Will never go back. I'll let the pics say the rest.

    What I received--anchors are large, only about 10.The rope is piped icing. Note the candle and cake topper are NOT from Carmen Rosa.

    My family and I have been getting cakes here for EVERY event for years--never again, especially after their awful customer service. My son's first birthday was Memorial Day weekend. My husband picked up the cake since I had no worries about the cake looking like literal shit. I quickly got over the appearance of the cake since I had so much to do that day. We spent $115 for my son's cake to look like a first grade project thrown together last minute. Not only was this not the cake I asked for, it was STALE! The cake was falling apart in front of our guests as it was being sliced--so embarrassing. Everyone was laughing that the "rope" looked like swirly poop--I was mortified. I called after the cake was served and explained what happened. I was immediately met with an attitude (Carmen's daughter) and told--verbatim--"sometimes that happens to icing." I was then offered 10% off my next order--why would I want that after this horrible experience, not to mention your horrific attitude? I wanted my deposit back at least and she would not budge. I asked to speak with Carmen but was told she only speaks Spanish. I arranged to have my father call to explain to her the situation but no one has the time for this--after reading their reviews I am sure the most we would get back is $5-$10. Not worth the aggravation. You've already lost SEVEN customers', including myself, after I showed everyone this disaster and telling them about the awful experience I had with Carmen's daughter. Get some class.

    Any special occasion I turn to CR bakery, including my wedding & child's first birthday. Each cake is made from scratch (you can taste the difference). They personalize each cake with custom decorations. They are a family run business that was in the neighborhood before it was cool.this place gets 5 stars for the great cakes. Well worth the trip from nyc.

I've never eaten anything that I didn't like. My faves are: milhojas, breakfast croissant sandwich, and any and every cake with dulce de leche filling. I only tiny, minuscule complaint I have about this place is the lack of signage for the pastries and cakes. It would be nice to know what I'm looking at without having the ask. Absolutely zero gatekeeping here. Please everyone keep patronizing this establishment. I need this place to continue to exist in my hood.

So get anything fresh, like made to order cakes or things you see come out right when you're there. Otherwise you run the risk of getting old stuff, which sucks that they don't manage that at all. On a Sunday afternoon lines moved quickly and we were able to find seats. This is a cute cafe that offers plenty of savory items and lunches, plus drinks like matcha, cakes, pastries and cookies. There is also a bathroom! The women behind the counter were all nice and patient with my questions, they also kept the line moving and were quick. I had high hopes for the Alfajores as this is an Argentinian bakery but unfortunately the ones given to me were stale. The cookie was very hard. Also the Dulce de leche was too sweet and burnt tasting to me. I also got a chocolate covered one and the cookie in that was also hard and dry. The strawberry croissant was amazing. Never had anything like that before. Not too sweet and very flaky. It has a ribbon of red on the outside which gives it a unique look. I would love to come back and try savory items. I'll continue to stick with the cakes and croissants for desert and make sure it's fresh!

Surely I'd incur the wrath of Twitter culture war jackasses for twice DoorDashing this spot; "ehh anyone can make an egg sandwich at home." I'm sure those fools don't have access to bacon like this. I enjoyed the salted fudge brownie too. The most surprising item I got was the orange cinnamon cold brew. The idea seemed delightfully taboo; for better or worse the citrus angle was relatively subtle, it wasn't like "hey you dropped your Tropicana in my iced grande Americano." Orders were quick and well-packaged.

But this time I got the Taylor ham egg and cheese and potato sandwich with hot sauce . It was great. Came out quick it's hot and was everything you wanted from a Taylor ham, over easy egg and cheese, and they add the smashed potatoes that are just smashed not mashed that add some crispness cuz they're a little crispy and they also give it a little more texture and bite. Really enjoyable. I did not know the sandwiches were this good. Get it with the hot sauce, its not too spicy, made in house. Closer to a siracha without fish sauce if that makes any sense. I will have to go back and try some more breakfast items I was unaware they were this good. Despite the price of $10 for a sandwich It was actually worth it.
