Fantastic cuban pastries! Their scones are world class. Also delicious cakes and good coffee - can highly recommend this bakery
This place is absolutely worth the wait. I went here 3x this past weekend while visiting from out of town because it was that freaking good and took a ton home on the plane for friends. Every sugary delight in the front window facing display case is fantastic in addition to the Cubano meat pies, the scones, and some of the other pastries on the line side. Cookies are good but wasted calories compared to their other offerings. Absolute favorites: pistachio cherry tea cake, butterscotch bun with cornflake crack, bourbon butterscotch custard with salted caramel, the Divina, Turron, Diablo, and the peach champagne scone.
Cozy space with a few sidewalk tables featuring Cuban inspired pastries and coffee. Service wait on a Sunday morning only took a few minutes, it allowed me time to browse their delicious display of pastries. Coffee Toffee Scones, Ginger Pumpkin, Passion fruit Raspberry, Cuban Meat Pies, and many more sweet and savory offerings. I'm a bit of a Scone aficionado and these are some of the best scones I've ever had. Not too sweet, not dry. Flavorful and well balanced. 5 stars! Parking is on street so be prepared to park a bit away and walk. There are many niche shops in the area so it makes for a nice stroll.
I'm so happy I randomly stumbled upon this place! I was looking for a cute pastry place to get pastries for my husband's birthday. He's not big on the traditional cake and since it was just the two of us celebrating tonight I wanted to get something small yet to tasty. The original pastry place I was going to was closed. So I just Googled somewhere that was relatively close and found this place! And omg, their pastries are amazing! I definitely will be back to try other items. This time I tried the Cuban tiramisu and they are tres leches pastry.
The pistachio mascarpone with passion fruit cream was delicious!! The flavor was unique and definitely worth trying. Haven't tried any other of their pastries. But I will definitely order some when in the area. Looks and feels like a small bakery shop worth supporting!!
