WOW! I haven't had tres leches so good like this in ages. It passes the eye test - spongey cake that is clearly soaked in the milk sauce and does not look dry. It definitely passes the taste test - sweet, milky, and other wonderful descriptors that I'm too small brained to verbalize. After the first bite, I instantly wish I had ordered at least 2 slices. The store is small and is mainly to-go only. They have a small, standing side counter that can fit up to 2 people if you want to eat yours in-store. Lots of other flavors to pick from, but since I was only picking one I had to go with the original. Service is friendly and fast! They're really not playing around when they say on their website "creation of the best tres leches cake in new york city". I haven't had any other tres leches in the city but I believe it. read more

Tres Leches Cafe - Harlem - Original Tres Leches - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

The tres leches cake here is solid. For $25 I got this cake for a party. It fed about 10 people. It is very sweet. It is right across from the projects. If you have to choose between Capy or this place, go with Capy- it taste better. The coconut flan $5 is not good. The coconut flakes and the flan did not mesh together and it just didn't taste good. read more

Oh my god, this place is a dream for anyone who loves Tres Leches! We were staying nearby and my husband suggested we check it out and it is the best decision ever. I tried the original, guava, and pineapple flavors, and I genuinely don't say this lightly - this is hands down some of the best Tres Leches I have ever had. Perfectly moist, not overly sweet, and each flavor was so distinct and delicious. My favorite was the pineapple! The women at the front were so warm and kind and it made the whole experience even sweeter. This bakery is a hidden gem and now officially on my must visit list every time I am in town! read more

In honor of Hispanic Heritage month I wanted to write about this amazing little shop in East Harlem that has the best tres leches I've ever had outside of home made. The owner Ronaldo Felipe is originally from the Dominican Republic and used to help his grandmother make tres leches which was the inspiration behind opening up his shop. While I love a good story and supporting a minority owned business the main thing I care about is the taste. The tres leches from here is always delicious, moist and just the perfect amount of sweet. My absolute favorites are the guava and passion fruit options. If you've never tried tres leches then this should be the place to do it but be aware you might become addicted. read more

Heard about the cake from my friends a couple of times and finally had a slice of the tres leches! They had different flavors but I got the original. For someone who is lactose intolerant, this was worth risking it! Haha Cake is super moist and was soaked in this sweet milk moisture. The cream on top was light.Perfect dessert! They sell other cakes as well and would love to try them! read more

Forgot how I heard about this spot but so glad I did. My faves: cuatro leches and tiramisu tres leches. The flavors are so rich, the cake is so moist. YUM. I just wish they were open later than 6pm because i can't make it there by the time i get out of work sometimes. Highly recommend checking this place out and I'll be waiting until they release their cinco leches. read more

Outstanding service and even BETTER tres leches. The sweetest women are in the front and are so helpful. Now on to the cake... omg I can't get enough of it. I finished my traditional tres leches slice very slowly so I can savor every bite-- yet I'm still thinking about that beautiful piece of cake. I'm so grateful (& also in a lot of trouble) to be around the corner from the cafe. Ordering a medium sized cake for a Super Bowl party this weekend and I can't wait to show off their delicious cake! read more

tiramisu tres leches. one of the best tres leches i've ever had!! I got the 8 inch cake for my friends birthday. The check out process online was fast and easy. The flavor was phenomenal. They had by the slice of all the different flavors like cuatro leches, passion fruit, and more. I can't wait to go back and try them all. read more

Tiny to-go shop in Harlem that sells really amazing tres leches! The lady gave me a recommendation and I got the passion fruit. Definitely enjoyed the recommendation as it was an extremely moist cake! read more

Deserts and cakes better than you would even hope. Delicious soft sponge with a wide variety toppings served in an authentic style. The staff are very friendly and generously gave me a piece of their most popular slice free. The prices are very reasonable and it is simply a neighborhood gem. If you are looking for some delicious affordable deserts for Christmas, you won't do better. I lived nearby for 20 years and this was my first visit, shame on me. El Barrio for the win. read more

YES! i finally got to go here. cuz whenever i decide to run it's always a sunday bruh. and then the bakery is closed and then i can't get the cakes that everyone raves about. anyways i got a passionfruit one and then a cuatro leche one because people said it was good. i liked the cuatro leche better than the passionfruit. the passionfruit tasted too curdy like it was too sweet and strong. my friend got the tiramisu and it literally just tasted like straight tiramisu. anyways i honestly like the tres leches here and i would go again if i am ever in the area but it is SO out of the way for me which sucks but isn't their fault. 4.5 stars! read more

The cake was amazing, I recommend this place if you love tres leches cake. They have multiple flavors and sizes available.

My fave dessert!! It does not get better than this place for all things tres leches! All flavors are a hit!

This cake is it! If you want authentic tres leches this is your place to go! They sell different size cakes and individual slices.

It was a very small storefront and a bit out of the way for us. The cake was very delicious - I got the pineapple tres leches

The women working here is amazing and kind. Please be patient with them when it gets busy. the service is 10/10. small place, no seating. they work quick so if there's a line, don't get discouraged . in the last 3 years, i have tried all their tres leches flavor, guava is my all time favorite. read more

I shamelessly came here because of an Instagram reel, but I do not regret it one bit. The classic tres leches is very creamy and sweet. The portion size is just right. The staff is very friendly. The shop is small and you can miss it if you're passing by too quickly. This place is, hands down, the best. My fiancé, who is a very pick eater, also loved this place. She loved it so much that she asked me to come back the following day and has asked me to buy more cake on a weekly basis. read more

Always the best! Everything they sell is so so good (I've tried everything minus the flan). I found them via Instagram & I've been hooked ever since! read more

This is one of the best tres leches cakes that I've had. Since this place only sells tres leches cakes, they are fresh and actually moist unlike other places where the tres leches can be a bit drier than what they're supposed to be if they sit out for too long. They come out at $5 a cake and they have different flavors like the classic tres leches, cuatro leches (with dulce de leche), pineapple, and others. I tried the cuatro leches and the original. The original is some of the best I've had for the cost. Highly recommend if you happen to be in the area since it is a bit out of the way. read more

Tres Leches Cafe isn't really a cafe. It's a take out for a very popular cake. I made a visit on a Sunday but they are closed Sunday's. This day I returned because all the buzz about how delicious the cake is got to me! I have to admit I tried a piece of Tres Leches cake elsewhere and just didn't care for it. I don't know why I thought this business might be different as most have the same or similar ingredients. Sure enough I got it home (after spending $3.75) I took a couple bites and hated it. It was soggy wet cake floating in a pool of milk. I just don't like this type of cake. I also can't stand flan. I guess it's personal taste. The customer service is excellent and it's a cute tidy shop. I recommend to all of you Tres Leches Lovers. I may return to try their cheesecake as the prices are very reasonable. I suggest you visit when you are in the hood! Let's support our local businesses! read more

Automatic 5 stars to this cafe! This place literally has the best tres leches cakes I've ever eaten in NYC. They have a variety of flavors such as cuatro leches, passion fruit, pineapple, guava, and tiramisu. I've tried everything but the guava and pineapple ones and I can only imagine how great they taste. Customer service is really good, too. I rave about this place to my friends and family, and had them try and they really love the taste of the cakes. read more

really great tres leche cake. nice options of flavors and sizes. would definitely try this again. a family run establishment which is always nice to see. read more

Tres Leches Cafe has and always will be the OG for the best Tres Leches cake in NYC. The only time I've had a better Tres Leches was when I went to Mexico. The other desserts here such as the flan are good as well, but nothing comes close to the Tres Leches IMHO. I understand that this location will probably be out of the way for most people but they also opened a LES location which would be a lot easier to get to for most people. read more
