Her joy was contagious. I got the chicken patties, beef patties, and spinach patties. Half a dozen for $10.50. All so good. I wanted to try the Phoscao because I've never had it before. Best I can describe it is a spiced thick chocolate milk.

Haitian patties are smaller and baked in a different type of bread than Jamaican patties or empanadas are. While you are there get a loaf of bread it's awesome. Customer service is great, just know what you want and keep it moving. Don't linger and be annoying there is plenty of enough time to see the menu and there isn't many options. Chicken patty 4/5 Very little filling depending on the luck of the draw but the seasoning is amazing. Beef patty 4.5/5 Solid as always also there isn't much filling sometimes but the bread is flaky and is tasty. The filling is amazing.

For those who are not aware: Layers is a Pakistani bakeshop chain that is absolutely delicious!…read more The Elmont location is quite small, and more of a grab and go situation, but the variety of flavors is truly unique. Choose items like Cadbury chocolate brownies, Biscoff or Raffelo cupcakes, or even sundae cups! Seeing as though there were only 2 left, I ordered a Belgian Chocolate Malt cupcake for about tree fiddy (no joke) and was on my way. The cupcake was superb. The base is a nice, moist chocolate cake. But the frosting is where it truly shines. It was so rich and malty, it was like eating a soft Malteser. What's even better is that the size is not obscene, so you're felt feeling satisfied but not overwhelmed. Service was polite. And if you're not in the Elmont area, no worries as there are now a few locations on the island. Would gladly recommend them for your bakeshop needs!

I ordered a vanilla cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream filling, but the filling was extremely minimal--barely there. The cake was also very dry and not moist whatsoever. This cake was for a special occasion honoring my mother, and she actually described it as "disgusting," which was incredibly embarrassing given the event. While the bakery clearly excels at appearance, the taste and quality did not match the presentation. I was very disappointed.

We are from Chile and my mother has always enjoyed having food from our beloved country, so it was natural that we would visit San Antonio and happy occasion. As we entered, the bakery looked fine, but the woman attending seemed to have an attitude when she motion for us to go on to get seated. The dining room that had always been decorated with murals and paintings was now all bare brick walls. We sat down and waited for the rest of our party to arrive while ordering a few empanadas.. The shot came when we were presented menus, which had shrunk down to 1/3 the size and gone up at least 35 to 40% in cost.. the empanadas we ate were mediocre at best. After the rest of the party arrived, no one came to the table for at least 10 minutes at which point we decided it was not a good place to have a celebration. It was a very disappointing experience for what had been a good restaurant.

The interior of the coffee house is small but has enough space for a quick pickup and go. The young lady behind the counter was pleasant and welcoming.

I ordered two chicken empanadas for a total of $8.00. The first bite had plenty of chicken, but the second bite was sweet, too sweet. Aside from the chicken, it had sweet raisins.

I'm kicking myself for wasting my hard earned money on this establishment. I find that in this economy, just cook your own food at home.
