    My friend recommended this restaurant for some specialty pastry options and wow the selection was so stunning! It's a super packed place with a wait out the door and the staff is hustling. I got 3 dessert pastries to do, and there was a selection of cheesecake and pastries in fruit shapes as well as decorated croissants. There wasn't a dedicated person for takeaway but someone took my order pretty quickly and took the time out of whatever they were doing. I got the green apple, mango, and coconut with mango on top for $38 after tax. My friend liked the mango one the best!

    Really cute place, but I wouldn't go in the winter again. We went pretty early (right at open) and it was freezing even though we sat to the back of the restaurant. Food was really good and portions are really big. Their maduros were a 10/10. Service was a little slow. We were the only ones in the restaurant and the waiter was yapping most of the time that we were trying to order another coffee. I ended up getting up to pay at the counter since he took so long to bring the check.

    I went for brunch with my husband, and it was our first time visiting. The space is charming and feels like stepping into a little princess room. The Victorian gold-framed mirrors are beautiful, the teacups are gorgeous, and I especially loved the Toile de Jouy patterned dishes. Even the bathroom carries the same decorative touch, which made the whole place feel thoughtfully styled. The service was just as lovely as the space. Leo was attentive and made sure everything was taken care of, and our server Kenny was wonderful. She was warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Before we left, she invited us to come back and wished us a relaxing rest of our Sunday, which felt very sincere and personal. If I had one small note, it would be that the tables are a bit too close together. Since we went on a date, the space felt a little tight for my taste. That said, it didn't take away from how much I enjoyed the place overall. The food, the atmosphere, and the service made it a really pleasant visit, and I truly enjoyed my experience here.

    Oh my goodness!!!!! This place is just like an Alice in Wonderland the Dominican version. The attention to detail from the utensils, food, and the way they give you a check is artistically done. I got the Dominican breakfast (which is the tres golpes) and they don't skimp out on the cheese or Dominican sausage. I also got the oxtail mofogitos they are delicious. My wife order the tres leches pancakes and the sweet plantain chicken and waffles another dish that was delicious. The atmosphere felt you were in another fairytale story and the waitress Kirby was very helpful on helping us choose when we were undecided because everything on the menu was delicious. I just recommend to reserve a spot before heading to this place because it gets busy.

    First and foremost this place is a hotspot so a reservation is a must. Street parking outside only. Conveniently located down the block from the A train on Dyckman. If you would like to spend a relaxing time while dining please consider the day and time you go. Can't expect to sit 3 hours on a Friday when space is limited. Staff goes above and beyond for the customers and with limited seating they are doing the best that they can. Ambiance is everything here so it's comfy and cute. My family and I ordered drinks entrees and a bunch of cake. My brother had the oxtail risotto while we had the Churassco with Tostones. Presentation is everything and they showed out with the Pink drink and Churrasco garlic butter flamed table side. That steak was so juicy and tender cooked perfectly. We were moaning as we ate. Desserts were chefs kiss at the end couldn't resist more then one.

    On my trip to NYC, we wanted to try something different and came across this place on TikTok. The food looked good so we decided to try it. Some places you find on social media is all hype, but Happy Cake Bistro lives up to it!! This restaurant is like Alice in Wonderland in the Dominican Republic!! The food was absolutely amazing! The twists to different dishes is so creative! We got the the hot chocolate crossaint which is literally delicious hot chocolate poured into the crossaint and topped with suspiro (Dominican frosting)! Our table also had the tres golpes (Dominican Breakfast), sweet plantain chicken and waffles, cassava breakfast, and the star of the show for me, the Tres Leches Pancakes. Everything was 10/10 but the pancakes for me were 11/10! They had perfect amount of milk and also topped with suspiro. The flavors together made this the best pancakes I have ever had. Salud to the chef!! Our waitress Kirsy was sweet, knowledgeable of everything and made great recommendations! Def recommend this restaurant and will be back on my next trip to NYC. One tip, make sure you get reservations!!

    Cute little bistro with two locations. Service was slow and the place was empty, food was good but lacked. I had the Dominican Breakfast dish and the mangu was dry. My mother had the New York Steak dish, she asked for well done and half the steak was medium well. The chicken empanadas were delicious. Grabbed a few pastries to go; expensive and aren't worth it. All in all, don't go out your way to make a visit.

    So I decided to try this spot once more and out server this time josimar was amazing. He was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious.

    This place is awesome. I've been seeing a lot of influencers on social media reviewing this place and it's always been amazing reviews. What that being said I've been to a few places that influencers have reviewed and let's just say most of them did not meet my expectations based on the reviews. I decided to try this place because even if the food wasn't top tier, I wanted to go for the experience. I decided to do a mommy and me Day. With my sister friend and our daughters. We had a 9am reservation on a Saturday morning and there was metered parking right in front. I love the design of this place it looks exactly like it does in photos...We were seated right away. The waitress was very nice and friendly. She took our orders and the food came out fairy quickly. Each of our meals were served on beautifully designed china. Each of us had a different pattern. Which was nice. We ordered Tostones Avocado Toast, Pancake Tres Leches, Sweet Plantain Chicken and Waffles, and Breakfast Bistro Burger.Everyone enjoyed their meal. The only thing I would have like to be better was the croissant on the breakfast burger. It wasn't that fresh, it tasted stale. The food portions were plenty. This place is for everyone,there were people eating alone as well as in groups. The vibe is loud which I didn't mind because it was literally people laughing and talking enjoying their meals and each other. The girls really liked this place. Especially the dessert display which is their favorite. We couldn't leave without dessert for the girls. One choose the mango and the other choose the mango. Neither of them were disappointed. . If you been on the fence about this place my advice is please try it. It's best to make reservations because they do get packed pretty quickly.

    This bistro is so cute and charming. It has a modern Victorian, feminine, and floral pink aesthetic. It's very small. The service is excellent and so is the food. We had the steak empanadas that were so tender and moist on the inside and wrapped in a light and crisp shell. The seasoning was spot on--savory and well-balanced. We also had the Dominican breakfast which was delicious. The mangu was rich and paired so well with the fried salami, fried cheese, and the fried egg. The casava breakfast was also delicious-- it tasted like a deconstructed croquette. The Beso D'Angelo cake was delicious. I'm not a big fan of flan so I can do without the flan middle but the sponge of the cake and the tres leches mixture was perfect.

    Came to this location again today around 11am and had the tres leches pancake and my friend had the burger with egg on top. It came with a salad on the side that was really good. I also ordered the beef empanada which was so good. I loved my food and the service. This location is small but the staff here is nice and attentive. I recommend coming on a weekday as it's slower and easy to just walk in. I came once in a Friday around 3pm and now today at 11am no issue at all and fabulous service. I can't wait to come back

    Desserts to choose from.

    Food was so good. I had the Dominican breakfast and my friend had the avocado toast. The drinks were also good, very flavorful. The desserts were so cute it was hard to pick one. I got the chocolate mousse bear with raspberry filling. It wasn't too sweet, was a perfect balance. My friend had the mango one and it had pieces of mango in it, super good! Service was attentive and we didn't feel rushed. The restaurant itself was cute, clean and decorated.

    I made breakfast reservations for two; upon arrival we were immediately greeted/ seated. My daughter & I really enjoyed our meal. It's definitely a cute spot & we shall be returning.

    The dessert here is so inviting and pretty. Especially the mousse based ones that look like fruits…read more I got the mango, orange, and the one that looks like a mushroom. The orange has a base made of chocolate Rice Krispies. All of them have more fruity filling than the mousse. They are very fragile. I recommend eating there if you can. Finding can be a challenge because it's busy and there aren't many seats. I got mine to go just to be taken to the park across the street . The mushroom kind are totally ruined. It has strawberriy jelly and it was a mess. The orange one was almost ruined too. The mango has some diced mangoes. I devoured three of them instantly. Definitely come back to try more.

    Yummmy!!! What a cute and unique dessert boutique! So many choices but what makes this place stand…read moreout are its adorable and colorful mousse delicacies. The inside was packed with folks! There was no place to sit down because of how busy it was but the staff kept the line moving quick enough. The place still seemed reasonably stocked with their desserts and treats, despite the late afternoon time that I arrived. I ordered 4 different treats to go and they're packed in small box individually. Unfortunately, they didn't quite stay intact during my trek back to my hotel and were tumbled around in the boxes. Nonetheless, the taste and flavors held up well and even after a few days in the fridge. The yuzu daisy has this vivid pastel yellow-pink base and adorable gelatinous yellow gem atop a white flower. The yuzu gives a subtle infusion of tart that is balanced out by the light delicate skin texture of the rest. Sitting atop a thin round rice crispy. I loved the red mushroom one which is a creamy pink mousse inside the cap. The stalk is a thin porcelain-white chocolate light base also filled with a rich cream. Adjacent are two cute little tree nuts. The orange and mango have such vivid colors and are aesthetically pleasing too. Just like the previous ones, their delicate chocolate exterior houses a rich tarty mousse-y filling. I think the mushroom has a better balance and variety of flavors. Although I don't eat mousse treats often, I look forward to trying some of the other ones in the future, like the blueberry, banana and cloud.

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!!

The Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie was not too sweet as the walnuts were the perfect balance! I think this is for people who are not too big on chocolate chips in their cookie. The Coconut Caramel cookie reminded me of a Samoa! You can taste all the coconut in the cookie and it was delicious! The Sticky Bun was so soft as well! 10/10!
