    Came by this bakery curious to try some Filipino baked goods, honestly I'm not familiar, I've only had Jollibee a couple times with the general impression that their products tend to be on the sweeter side. Would love any good suggestions! On a weekend early evening around 5pm and they seemed to have most items in stock. From other reviews seems like they're known for their ube cheese pandesal, ube cake, mango cake, pan de coco and pork asada bun. I picked up a torte Cebuana $3.25 and pan de coco $1.50. The former tasted similar to a pound cake in cupcake-like form, sprinkled on top with fine sugar. The latter was a sweet bun with shredded coconut that tasted sweetened with palm sugar. It had a lovely fragrant coconut flavor and was tasty though a tad too sweet for me. The store itself isn't big, a pretty casual set up with seating for maybe 12-15 at cafe tables. The back counter is where baked goodies are displayed, a fridge on the right contains chilled drinks and full-sized cakes which looked made to order. On the left side of the store are some Filipino grocery items on shelves. Staff was friendly and helped answer a couple questions I had about ingredients, (or asked other staff what they didn't know). If I was in the area I'd come back to try a few other items.

    Went and ate here today for my bike group trying this place out for the first time. We definitely got different kinds of pastries to share together as a group and we then said it tasted really good and delicious. The service there was also very attentive, pleasant and friendly. We couldn't agree more about it. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

    Nice little spot for fresh filipino baked goods. Came in around 1245 and unfortunately most of their I've flavored baked goods were sold out or until later in the afternoon. Plenty of seating for a little meetup and catch up. Would like to come in again and try some of their other baked goods. The torta is their version of a mamon and it is not as spongy, but definitely more dense

    When you have a sweet tooth, most important part of a birthday dinner is the dessert. I was surprised with this whole Ube Cake from Kape't Torta for my birthday cake and it did not disappoint! Ube is one of my favorite flavors and unfortunately, there aren't many starts that sell whole Ube cakes in Queens, luckily, my siblings were able to find this place! It was very simple as you can just call in to place the order ahead of hand and pay when you pick it up! The writing was written neatly and the flavor was perfect! It was nicely sweet but not too sweet and you can actually taste the favor of the uber through the cake and the frosting. I will definitely be grabbing a slice here and there (they sell the cake by the space as well!) when I am around Elmhurst! Definitely a must go for Filipino dessert lovers!

    The ube cheese bread was AMAZING. It was hard to get a seat at first because there was a massive party of people. But the food was absolutely worth it. Maybe Im not a fan of the cakes, but the bread was simply spot on. Would definitely go back to get more of the bread.

    I happened to be near this tiny bakery, and, based on other reviews, decided to give it a try. It turned out to be a good decision! Having never had Filipino deserts, I went with a variety. I tried a slice of Ube Cake, of course. It was light and less sweet than I expected. The cake was spongy and the icing was smooth. I'd definitely have it again. I also tried two different pandesal, the cheese and the ube cheese varieties. These are basically buns with cheese in the middle and were also quite tasty! The space, while tiny, had seating for a dozen, and had a nice vibe. Service was great too. I'd definitely recommend checking Kape'r Torta out.

    Have tried the Pork Asado Bun which was okay. What I like to get at Kape't Torta is the coffee and the Ube Cheese Pandesal. The soft purple bun with cheese and ube. Will get those again. Also tried the Pan de Coco, very tasty with shredded coconut went well with the coffee, but it was a tad too sweet for me. Current pricing of both the Ube Cheese Pandesal and Pan de Coco were $1.50 each. There were chairs and table you can sit and enjoy your treats. Staff was nice and friendly. Will be back to try the ube cake and other desserts.

    This is a small Filipino bakery located in Elmhurst. I heard about them as I was trying to find Ube cakes. And I'm really glad I did because I loved the cake! I can definitely taste the Ube flavor and would definitely love to get it again!

    Ube Cheese Pandesal- Left. Excellent. Nice mix of salty and sweet. Right- Pan De Coco. Tasty. A tad sweet maybe. Would be good with coffee

    I was walking back (I believe from the nearby Lahi or some other nearby place) and passed by this small little Filipino bakery. The people inside were nice and while I was interested in the ube cake, I decided to just go with two of the small buns as I was just in the mood for a little snack. I got two buns; the Ube Cheese Pandesal and the Pan De Coco which were $1.50 each. In general, both buns were both soft with a good texture. The pandesal was my preference of the two. There was a bit of floral sweetness from the ube while the cheese inside was slightly salty and the bun had a good chew overall. They contrasted well and I can see why they are popular. The coco was a tad sweet though it had a nice buttery outside. I could see it going perfectly with some coffee or tea and it was still good though and cheap as noted. Good little place. I would go back in the area and get a slice of their excellent looking ube cake.

    Incredible one of the best Filipino bakeries in the city. Tried their freshly baked ube cheese bun which is one of the best pastries I have ever had. The cheese has a very sweet but pronounced taste to it. 10/10 The ube flan was not too sweet also tasted a little stale... I can imagine what a fresh would be like. 8/10 still was pretty great The ube cake was the star... fluffy and mouth watering. 11/10. Don't walk run here

    Amazing family owned Filipino bakery with very affordable slices of cake and other Filipino baked goods. Came for the ube cake and it was fantastic, cold and at room temp. At room temp it was bouncy, fluffy and melt in your mouth. Cold it was a lot firmer like a more dense chiffon cake. Great ube flavor throughout and a sweet light whipped cream frosting. Absolutely coming back for the mango cake and more of that ube cake next time!

    Went to pick up some sweets for afternoon snack. Got the flan ube cake and some ube cheesy bread, which I had not had before. Really like the flan ube cake, like having 2 desserts at once. The bread was interesting, not overly sweet or savory, very pretty purple.

    As stated before, I finally came back to try the savory foods from Tea Cup Cafe!…read more Starting off, my fiancé ordered the Crispy Fish. The sauce that was served was absolutely delicious with the signature tanginess and sweetness of Thai food. The hot pot that I ordered was also enjoyed to the fullest! The food here was super good but also I love liver so I was glad they had a hot pot option that included that! After a delicious meal, we finished off with the mango bingsu which also was a huge hit! The bingsu was super fluffy and light! This meal was definitely worth it and didn't leave me feeling super heavy. The service was also great even though they were always full house with some parties waiting and only one person serving. I will be back next time to try their Thai barbecue which I saw people having and I could stop looking at! On top of all this, the server or manager even gave me a free Melona ice cream which I paired with the bingsoo after he saw that I was pregnant which I thought was super sweet. I don't live too far from here so I also want to add that even though I have not added a review, I always go to this restaurant to grab a coconut Thai milk tea to go (I am not even a huge Thai tea fan)! For some reason, I love the coconut thai tea from here and always find myself craving it.

The atmosphere is indeed cozy with quaint outdoor seating as well. Unfortunately, I gave their iced matcha latte two tries, on two separate days. Sadly, their version of an iced matcha latte is watery and lacks the matcha flavor, despite being green. It just tastes like milk. It takes a lot of flavored syrup to make this drink taste better, and syrupy drinks aren't good. The first time I had it, I was surprised to be chewing on ginger pieces that were floating in the bottom of my drink. Luckily, I like ginger and, more importantly, I'm not allergic. I passed it off as maybe their unique twist on a matcha latte. When I went back for a second try, I asked them to not put ginger in the drink, to which I was told ginger should have never been in the drink and the whisk they used was likely not fully cleaned from a drink that contains ginger. Uhh, gross! And not a good practice for a restaurant serving the public. I forgave the first mistake and ordered another iced matcha latte with lavender. I get back to my family's house, take a sip, and notice they omitted the lavender. Had to walk back to get it corrected. The young lady taking orders was very apologetic and swift in correcting it. However, her colleague wearing a bandana on her hair was not as kind and seemed to be irritated at my kind request it be fixed. Both of my experiences have been off putting and I simply will not be back! Thank goodness the neighborhood has alternatives like Over The Moon and Qahwah Valley. Espresso 77 would benefit from improved quality of their products, cleanliness, and customer service.

This place is a vibe -- warm, buzzy, effortlessly cool, the kind of spot where you sink into your seat and suddenly two hours have vanished and you're totally okay with it. Now let's talk drinks, because WOW. The blueberry spritz? Sunshine in a glass. Bright, fizzy, refreshing, perfectly balanced -- not a drop too sweet -- and gone way too fast because we couldn't stop sipping. And the espresso martini... stop what you're doing. Rich, silky, with a real coffee punch and that gorgeous cloud of foam on top. Easily one of the best I've ever had. These people don't make drinks, they make magic. And the service? Off the charts. The staff were warm, attentive, genuinely passionate, and treated us like regulars from the second we walked in. Not one detail missed -- from the first hello to the last glorious sip.
