I've never eaten anything that I didn't like. My faves are: milhojas, breakfast croissant sandwich, and any and every cake with dulce de leche filling. I only tiny, minuscule complaint I have about this place is the lack of signage for the pastries and cakes. It would be nice to know what I'm looking at without having the ask. Absolutely zero gatekeeping here. Please everyone keep patronizing this establishment. I need this place to continue to exist in my hood.

The cake here is very good!

So get anything fresh, like made to order cakes or things you see come out right when you're there. Otherwise you run the risk of getting old stuff, which sucks that they don't manage that at all. On a Sunday afternoon lines moved quickly and we were able to find seats. This is a cute cafe that offers plenty of savory items and lunches, plus drinks like matcha, cakes, pastries and cookies. There is also a bathroom! The women behind the counter were all nice and patient with my questions, they also kept the line moving and were quick. I had high hopes for the Alfajores as this is an Argentinian bakery but unfortunately the ones given to me were stale. The cookie was very hard. Also the Dulce de leche was too sweet and burnt tasting to me. I also got a chocolate covered one and the cookie in that was also hard and dry. The strawberry croissant was amazing. Never had anything like that before. Not too sweet and very flaky. It has a ribbon of red on the outside which gives it a unique look. I would love to come back and try savory items. I'll continue to stick with the cakes and croissants for desert and make sure it's fresh!

But this time I got the Taylor ham egg and cheese and potato sandwich with hot sauce . It was great. Came out quick it's hot and was everything you wanted from a Taylor ham, over easy egg and cheese, and they add the smashed potatoes that are just smashed not mashed that add some crispness cuz they're a little crispy and they also give it a little more texture and bite. Really enjoyable. I did not know the sandwiches were this good. Get it with the hot sauce, its not too spicy, made in house. Closer to a siracha without fish sauce if that makes any sense. I will have to go back and try some more breakfast items I was unaware they were this good. Despite the price of $10 for a sandwich It was actually worth it.

It's the perfect fast-casual spot when you want high-quality food in a comfortable, open environment. Highly recommend this location!

There are only a few spots in a tiny lot, making it very tough to park. That said, if you're planning on going, make sure to plan accordingly (ie: bring a small car, come earlier). Inside is relatively small, consisting of a bakery section, a hot food section, and a few tables to sit and eat. Both the bakery and hot food sections include a wide variety of options. I tried their palabok, which was okay, nothing extraordinary. However, their ensaymada and fresh baked pandesal are both very delicious! In terms of pricing, everything is priced fairly. Also, the staff is nice. Overall, this is a great Filipino mom-and-pop shop that I've been going to for years, and I would recommend others to stop by if they're in the area.

The almond croissant was one of the worst ones I ever had. The filling was accurate but it was very hard like biting into a stale baguette. It must've been just old. I still finished it after wetting it and reheating it to get some moisture in but I was upset that I needed to do that. The apple caramel tart was fine. The filing was yummy but the tart crust was so thick and overpowering. Felt like I was eating 70% biscuit and 30% filing. I can't comment on the other food items or drink items because I didn't have them. But I recommend not get the almond croissant.

The quality wasn't consistent across all items I tried. The bakery has a cozy atmosphere, and the staff was friendly, though service was a little slow during busy hours. Pricing seemed fair for what you get, but not exceptional. Overall, Prato Bakery is a decent spot for a quick treat, but better consistency in baked goods would make it stand out more.
