These are the delicious guava pastries I bought whole tray plus an extra 4 Phenomenal
John C.

John from Westchester; This tiny bakery is so much more than The size of it, situated in Mott haven Bronx, drove 40 mins from my home in Westchester to get the PUFF PASTRIES Fill withGUAVA and covered in powdered sugar, even though they're made in many Latin bakery's in NY There's something that they do that make them as delicious as they are So if in the Bronx stop by and visit Shop, nice people working hard with Great Latin pastries, the FLAN is a standout also

Hands down some of the best pound cakes you will ever find. A very small bakery in the South Bronx, that does a little of everything. From morning coffee before you hop on the 2/5 train, to sandwiches for lunch and school trips, to individual sweets for any time of the day. La Pastora Bakery is a very small bakery that you may miss if you walk too fast or are distracted by your phone but they do it all and they stay busy. The small store can only hold 6-8 customers comfortably while waiting for orders but I have witnessed more squeeze in. Do not let the size or location fool or deter you. I only go for the pound cakes and they have become my go-to contribution for any event (family/work) or potluck that requires me to bring something when I don't want to cook. If I'm honest the pound cakes are my go-to for a "just because" occasion also. They are always so moist and decadent, they will never be a bad choice. They come in Vanilla, Chocolate, and occasionally they have Red Velvet. You can usually get the Vanilla in a loft or large round and the chocolate (and red velvet) in the large round. I already regret sharing this little piece of heaven with the world of Yelp. Just A Note: This is a family owned bakery and sometimes they may or may not have what you want but it's a risk worth taking. (1st Review of 2020)

Cuban sandwich lunch looking so good
Steven R.

Wooooo! Omg the cakes are Delicious, the Cuban sandwiches are out of this world, and the customer Service is in whole other dimension. This small shop creates such big moments for their customers and I appreciate it all. I'm a teacher and I needed two last minute cakes the other day for an event for my school and they had cakes already to go! The dolce de leche was a hit with all staff as well as the pineapple. Let me also say the strawberry short cake I had personally and it is to die for. I'm literally eating their Cuban sandwich as i write this review today. Thank you pastora bakery for the care you shown me and the quality you put out! Made my weekend for sure =D

This cake was nothing of what we spoke about when I placed the order

I was initially lured in by the good Yelp reviews. I liked that I could do everything online, I had a particular vision for what I wanted my birthday cake to look like and they communicated with me via email that could make my vision come true. I had a birthday celebration at a restaurant, which I asked The Evercake to have delivered directly to the restaurant. The delivery was smooth and the restaurant had the cake before I even got there. The cake was very cute and did look like what I had pictured. But...what I majorly disliked was the actual taste of the cake and being misled about what the contents of the cake would be. I selected the strawberry shortcake option for my cake and what I got was not what I thought it would be. I think it's quite normal for a strawberry shortcake to have like...real strawberries in between the layers. My cake didn't really have that, and if it did it was hidden in all the strawberry jam that there instead. I was not a fan of the cake texture too and the cream outside of the cake. Overall I felt so sad that I was feeding this to my friends and I told them that they didn't have to finish it because I wasn't going to either. So embarrassing :( Would you believe that this flop of a cake was nearly $200? And that's after the 10% coupon. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because it wasn't completely bad, but the cake not tasting good was the biggest thing for me. I would have preferred it the other way around at least, like if the service was so bad but the cake tasted amazing, but unfortunately that was not the case for me. After digging through the reviews some more, I found that this happened to another customer as well. I wish I had seen their review before ordering a "strawberry" shortcake from here lol dang

This was a very delicious pumpkin spice cake from The Sweet Spott NYC! I wanted the cake for…read moreChristmas (which is my grandma's birthday), they told me to remind them a week prior, and I did. They were able to accommodate my holiday deadline. Furthermore, I appreciate how they respect the COVID regulations, and offered me free curb side pick up. (PS They were very courteous.) Now on to the cake itself. First off, the cake was moist and dense at the same time, which I really liked. It wasn't too overwhelmingly sweet - this is important, since I served it to older adults, who are not fond of super sugary, diabetes inducing cakes (hahah ). But they appreciated the cinnamon-y taste from the pumpkin spice cake. Furthermore, all the fruit on the cake was fresh. There were pomegranate seeds, blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries. All 1000% ripe, fresh, with the right amount of sweetness. The fruits did not seem to be pre-frozen and thawed either. Lastly, the rosemary and cinnamon sticks were a very nice touch to the cake. It made it look more earthy in my opinion. Most importantly, my grandma loved the cake! So thank you very much for putting a smile on my Lola's face for her birthday!

Erika is truly exceptional! We came to her for our baby's 100th day celebration, and the cake she…read morecreated was nothing short of magnificent. We wanted the 3 Chinese zodiac animals incorporated into the cake, and she executed it in an amazing fashion (she hadn't done it before for her clients). Erika's professionalism shone through, as she not only crafted a stunning cake but also provided instructions on caring for it until the right moment--an above-and-beyond touch in my extremely humble opinion. We were so impressed that we returned to her for our baby's 1-year birthday (a significant occasion in Asian culture), and once again, she exceeded our expectations! My wife and I never had a single criticism of her work; it was always just "wow, this cake is perfect and how the heck did she do this." Erika is incredibly talented, professional, and personable. I highly, highly recommend choosing her for your special occasions. The taste matches the impeccable appearance, and I'm 100% certain we'll be turning to her for all our future cake (and cupcake, we haven't tested it out yet) needs!

Yay! They finally open the yelp account! I was waiting for this because it is the world best cake…read morethat I've ever tried. I went to my friend's b-day party last year and saw the cake by Peory L'atelier for the first time. I am neither a cake lover nor sweet tooth, so I am not interested to have cake at all. However, how can I not try to have a piece of cake while the appearance of cake is so gorgeous and fancy?! My friend told me the flower on the cake is also handmade EDIBLE BUTTERCREME, not fresh flowers. Before I tried a bite, I did not have any expectation about the flavor because I assumed it may be too sweet and buttery. But it was neither too sweet nor buttery. It was just perfectly and enoughly flavorful and mellow. I started to order cakes from here to celebrate special events, so my beloved ones also can try what I have experienced. They reply very fast once I submit the application and they also deliver occasionally depends on the date/time and location which is great! If you have not tried this cake, if you are not sweet tooth but want to have some cake, if you are a sweet tooth but want to try mellow and flavorful cake, and if you want to make celebration or your day more special, this cake is the one.
