Walking through the doors is nostalgic invoking your own walk through history. If you've never been you won't be disappointed and begin your own experiences. Grab a box with one of everything and you still will have plenty more to sample. Ive traveled through many states and places specializing in this sweet pastries but never find anything as delicious. The staff is very friendly eager to help and always smiling. Even the owner will be there in the front lines assisting. Like the olden days. You can even get a cup of coffee and talk story. They also have a few grocery items in case you need to grab milk, eggs and a soda. The ambiance is just down home. Maybe I'll see you there grabbing your favorite piece of "pan dulce". Yes, they are "Special".

They have quite a selection of freshly made items. I would suggest getting there early if you are looking for something specific as they did have several empty trays.

If you're ever in the area, put it on your list of places to visit.

I also ordered a hot taro latte, and it was very creamy and nice. They take a lot of pride and care in their craft, and you can tell. The employee explained each pastry to us, even if we were familiar with them already. We'll definitely stop by again.

We arrived at about 11:30am and selected a maple iced donut and a chocolate iced, cream filled donut. Service was self serve. The price was a bit high at $6 for the two based on weight.

My boyfriend and I had brunch at crepe town on a Monday morning. They are going to close soon and…read morereopen at a different location so I wanted to try them out before they disappear for a while. It is kind of hidden next to the museum but we found it after a couple of minutes. I can see why they want to move to a different location so you can find them easier and so the seating can maybe look a little more elevated. We were able to sit wherever we wanted and it wasn't too full so we chose to sit in a corner and it wasn't too full pretty quiet. This was a nice little change compared to most brunch places that are loud, we enjoyed being able to talk without yelling. There is only one server so I'm not sure how they do it if it gets busy but he was nice and knowledgeable about the menu. We got a green tea with pineapple and a raspberry tea. They came unsweetened so you could add the sugar you wanted and customize the sweetness. Soft drinks (Coke, sprite etc) were not refillable so I'm not sure if it was a can or bottle. Coffee was available (cafe de olla) and also had free refills. I got the eggs Benedict with a spinach crepe and it was pretty good. I liked the fruit it came with, it was super fresh and the eggs were perfect! My boyfriend got the poblano chicken with a spinach crepe and this one was AMAZINGGGG! I know why the server said it was his favorite. He added some spice with the chile and it was perfect. I would 1000% come back for more and I will definitely go to the new location for this specific plate. The chicken was shredded perfectly, corn, poblano pepper and the cheese was all delicious. We ordered a side of almond flour pancakes because we were pretty hungry and weren't sure if our plates would satisfy us but we loved these! It comes with strawberries, bananas chocolate sauce and I think roasted pecans. It was so yummy and the pancakes were a little dense but the toppings complimented it so well. I do wish the server came back so I could ask for more syrup because my boyfriend and I like to drown our pancakes but that little cup was fine. Overall I would definitely come back and try other things on their menu. I hope they get a soda fountain since I am a Coke Zero addict but their tea was not bad. I also got to try their mostachon with strawberries and that was hands down the best mostachon I have ever had. I will be looking into ordering a full size one because it is worth it!!

The pink cake was to die for and I am saddened that I didn't buy more, I will be dreaming of that pink cake until I go back to Brownsville especially the concha's I got the ube and vanilla, all I can say is I wish I had one right now! I'm from Austin and have never ever had pink cake or a concha that was so fluffy and delicious! The coffee taste was to perfection my other half is picky about his coffee and he rolled his eyes when he got his first sip. The young lady in the front was so bubbly and sweet and you can tell she puts love and hard work into these pastries! The store is very old but that's what gives it that genuine charm it took me back to when times were simple and you didn't need much to be happy. It was a beautiful feeling being in there and I will definitely be back!
