We grabbed chicken sandwiches and an orange juice concoction here and barely paid $20 for a monstrous amount of food. An absolute recession special, if you ask me personally. The bread on the sandwiches was pillowy and appropriately crusty on the outside. The mayonnaise and condiments were generous. The chicken was flavorful and so juicy, as if it was ripped right off a dripping rotisserie chicken. They definitely did not skimp on the meat and every bite was a juicy, tender mouthful. The sandwich is quite large and for those of us who actually have to watch our diets, the other half made for splendid leftovers the next day. The orange juice was A-okay. I'm not latina so perhaps it is an acquired taste but I found it to be a bit on the sweeter side and the texture due to the orange juice curdling the evaporated milk is kind of grainy. There were several other offerings at the bakery with endless rows of baked goods, flans, cheesecakes and pastries as far as the eyes can see. Service was efficient and friendly and effortless. It's definitely a take out spot as there is no seats or even counters to stand and eat your food. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and treat yourself to an epic meal here.

I, too, was fooled by Instagram. We discovered this place the same way most people do -- through…read morethe cute, trendy desserts that look great online. I also wanted to support a local business. So my husband made the journey across town and brought home a few treats from Happy Cake, including a chocolate coffee dessert shaped like a Starbucks cup with a chocolate lid. When my daughter popped the chocolate lid off to eat it, we found mold growing inside the dessert. This is absolutely unacceptable for any food business -- I don't care if it's "my people" or not. For context, we bought the dessert on Sunday and discovered the mold on Monday. Fresh, properly stored desserts do not grow visible mold overnight. That means this item was already old, improperly stored, or handled without proper food safety standards. None of those possibilities are okay, especially when the dessert was meant for a child. We didn't bother driving all the way back to the store -- it's too far -- but we threw out that dessert and every other treat we bought immediately. I'm just grateful my daughter didn't take a bite first. I cannot trust the freshness or safety of their products and will not be buying anything from Happy Cake again. And if anyone thinks I'm exaggerating, I'm posting a photo so you can see exactly what we found.

The drinks were delicious, the food was just as amazing, and everything was presented so beautifully. You can tell they really care about the details. Luis, our waiter, was incredible. He was attentive, thoughtful, and truly paid attention to every detail throughout our visit. We were celebrating our book club anniversary, and they surprised us with a lit pastry and a celebratory song. It was such a special touch and made the brunch even more memorable. The entire staff was kind, welcoming, and attentive. I will definitely be coming back to be served by Luis and to enjoy more sweet treats. I cannot wait to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend.

Although I do still plan to visit the original location in Yonkers thats also not that far from me. Anyway it was another hot day in NYC, and I decided to take my girls to go get some ice cream. I've had my eyes on this company and was happy they had opened a new location even closer to my home. When we got there, for a small shop it was packed. The customer service was great, they let us try some amazing flavors of what they had to offer. When I say everything was good, I mean it! I put that on my mama lol. The ice cream was smooth and creamy. The flavors were different and they even offer these huge cookies that I believe were freshly made. I My youngest sampled some of the sorbet that she thought was really refreshing, shes not to much of an ice cream fan. She did decide to get their strawberry and my other one got the Morir Sonando. We all left happy. So happy we forgot to take pictures of what we got before we went in on eating it up! Sorry about that, we'll do better next time ! I will return for the viral banana pudding they are known for on another day. I did take home a pint of Coquito 21+ ice cream on my way out. We will definitely frequent this place. Two Thumbs up!
