However, once you enter it, you are instantly transported. The decorations, the feeling, the mood, it all screams enjoy to your hearts desire. They have so many variations of cupcakes, cookies, and even brookies. I ordered the cupcakes and brookies and I have to say it is some of the best stuff I've had in my life. Even better, the people here are super patient and helpful. Definitely a gem in the city of Duarte.

She was able to take on my order and then some. When I walked into the shop I was impressed with the displays and how clean it was.

I recommend if you're looking for someone to do a party order look no further!

I found Sugar Sisters Bakery via a quick search for good cookies. I called the bakery to confirm…read morethere were cookies available for purchase. I was sent a menu to select flavors and told we could pick them up in the next 2 hrs. We sampled chocolate-walnut, campfire, strawberry shortcake, peanut butter, brownie, and snickerdoodle cookies to celebrate my niece's bday. Each cookie is hearty, filled with chocolate/nuts/fruit, individually wrapped, and they were still warm fresh from the oven. The bakery is not a store front, but they're baking and decorating goodies on the premise. The baker included a cookie care card with instructions on caring for the cookies...so creative and helpful. All of the cookies were amazingly delicious, fresh, gooey and filling. Our favorite were the strawberry shortcake, snickerdoodle, and campfire cookies. I would love to try their cakes and other baked goods. Sugar Sisters Bakery we'll be seeing you again!!!

She had informed me ahead of time that some flowers are seasonal but she will try her best to recreate the same one. For those who are not too familiar with different types of flowers or have a specific preference, you can provide her with a color scheme you like and she'll work with it. The cake turned out exactly like the picture I showed her. From the color of the flowers to the rose petals that were​ coming down the side of the cake, everything was just the way I wanted it. All of the ingredients used are fresh and made from scratch so none of that boxed cake mix. The cake not only looked great but also tasted amazing. We got so many compliments on it while we were cutting it at the restaurant. Thank you, FinaLee floral cakes!

Super excited because the mini fruit tarts are going to look amazing on my newly purchased dessert tray! I was feeling a bit sleepy so I decided to fuel up & eat breakfast while I was there. I ordered a Vanilla Latte & a side order of 3 eggs + Sausage Links. If you're a big eater and want the additional potatoes and pancakes, I recommend paying a few dollars more and ordering the Breakfast platter. The Vanilla Latte came in a paper cup (a bit bummed out by not being able to take a more IG worthy picture of that), but it actually tasted really good! Same with the sausage links - it was probably one of the best tasting ones I've had for breakfast in a while. Aside from their wide selection of pastries and food options, their customer service was phenomenal. Every customer that walked through the door was greeted upon arrival and thanked on their way out. The restaurant was very clean and the cakes looked so beautiful behind the glass case. I had a pleasant experience today at Merengue Bakery & Cafe and can't wait to come back soon to try a slice of their chocolate cake!

Street parking can be tough during peak hours, but there are public lots nearby.  For the past 12 years, this has been our go-to spot, and their Guava Cake is the ultimate family favorite! This past Mother's Day, Mom wanted that exact cake. We stopped by in the morning to pick one up as usual. However, the lady at the counter informed us they would not have any ready until 2 PM and was quite dismissive and short with us. I was next in line, it was now the second person at the counter helping me, ( male ) once he knew I was looking for a guava cake, he immediately went to the back going out of his way to check and ensure we took a fresh guava cake home right then and there. He saved Mother's Day !!! I must also mention Danny and Lissette are amazing every time we order cakes for family events. It's always a great experience, and we'll definitely keep coming back for their goodies.

I've been coming here ever since I was young, and after trying various apple fritters from other…read moreshops, I would say the ones sold here are one of my favorites. They have a nice fried texture while maintaining a soft, doughy apple-filled interior. Not to mention, they're well worth the $3 or so per donut.

I asked if she knew the name for one of the special pan dulces and she snapped back that no one knows that name. Secondly when I paid she did not give me my change back correctly. I told her I'm missing some money and she said she is out of change and I have to deal with it. After I told her she could have informed me she said something under her breath I could not hear. Terrible experience and I was robbed. I am no longer coming back here and will tell everyone in the area not to support them.

We bought an elote, tortuga and can't recall the third piece of pan, and alfajores. The elote was delicious, I love that you can see little specs of cinnamon, soft and tender and vanilla scent. The tortuga was a bit more spongy, fragrant, and nice balanced of sweetness. The alfajores were buttery, crisp and smeared with dulce de leche. I needed a bday cake and decided to order the strawberry shortcake, because it looked so pretty. The cake was a hit with the family. The frosting was super light, the filling is one layer of custard and the other of light whipped cream and berries. The sponge is moist, the cake is not sweet, but decadent in its creamy texture. The inside of the store is aesthetically appealing, traditional glass cases showcase the pan. I'm so glad to have a nearby bakery and cake shop!

While I am very…read morehappy about this (I love Cafe de Olla in Monrovia), getting coffee and a pastry post-workout might very well become my routine if I don't exercise enough self-control! Like some of the reviews already mentioned, this location is more of a "grab and go" type of place. They have a solid selection of cakes, pastries, and drinks. If you are looking for their full breakfast menu, the Monrovia location down the street is where you would want to go! When I visited, they were celebrating their 1-year anniversary with an outside table of samplers. They had a balloon arch outside to signal to the community that they are celebrating something special as well. The lady out front shared with me what they had to offer, and she also mentioned that they do catering! I like my coffee strong but also on the sweet side. When I asked for the stronger option, I was recommended to get the cappucino rather than the latte and they can make the caffeine a little bit more concentrated without sacrificing the flavor. The cookies were a little dry for my taste but maybe it was because the samplers were sitting outside for a little too long. I would go back just to try the breakfast sandwich, but the experience of grabbing food was pretty fast and the food was flavorful enough! Excited to have a closer Cafe de Olla to me and wishing them so much success!

The ice cream shoppe is cute and the menu items are of average price. A single scoop is about $6 and they offer ice cream flights if you want to try out different flavors.

Overall, Moo Moo Mia a great place for dessert.
