Great selection of tres leches cake flavors. I ordered three flavors: tiramisu, pina colada and chocolate. The crowd's favorite was tiramisu. The comments were it's not too sweet and the cake is very moist. It costs $7 per slice, which is a little pricy, but because it was tasty it was fine.
My wife and I were looking for something sweet to take back to our hotel room for a treat and stumbled upon Capy. We walked in at 4:00 on a Sunday and there was no line. They primarily sell cakes or cake slices. Each slice was 7.00. I had a slice of cookies and cream, my wife had the strawberry. We both felt like the cake was very light, which isn't a bad thing. Would have liked a more rounded selection of baked goods. Definitely a worthwhile option in Little Italy. All depends on what you're in the mood for.
Great dessert shop in between Chinatown/Little Italy that specializes in Tres Leches cakes of all things. It was nice that we were provided sampes of the Pina Colada cake when we entered but I was really overwhelemed by the sheer variety of cakes that I didn't get a sample. The staff was really nice when I asked which one was her favorite but I ended up with a slice of the Dulce Tres Leches. It was delicious, the sponge was moist and wasnt too sweet. I will definitely come back and try other flavors!
Decided to stop in here after having dinner on the way to the Canal Street subway stop having passed by this spot a couple times. Capy is apparently a Tres Leches cake chain originally found in Mexico in the '80s with a couple locations in New York around the various boroughs with more locations it seems in Queens and the outer boroughs compared to Manhattan which makes sense because of the style/origin of said cake. It's usually a very moist cake which is almost sopping wet and is quite sweet. People inside were nice and its a small corner shop. I do think that they should be a sign displaying the prices for the cake but apparently all the slices are $7 and I'm not sure about the full cakes as I didn't buy one of course. I decided to get the Coconut and the woman working there after she said that it was one of her favorites. I brought it home and tried it. This was very different from most tres leches. It was a lot less moist outside of the cream being actually slightly dry. I don't think it's because the cake was old or anything but just a very different style compared to most and I both didn't expect it and did not prefer it. Apparently the coconut one is one of the more moist ones and I can't imagine the drier versions. I think that Tres Leches Cafe on the Lower East Side is a better representation of what you normally find for this dessert and is just tastier but this can definitely come down to preferences. In short, if you're looking for a lighter less sweet and less soft version of tres leches, I'd go here but if you're looking for a more representative tres leches and cheaper, there's definitely a lot better spots. The ratings are a bit more accurate at their other locations being more like a mid 3 rather than the 4.5 that's here. 3.3
I always past by the store before noon so I was so excited to try the place during a night out. The employees were very welcoming and will pride suggestions based on your preferences. If you want cakes or flans, this is the place to be. The store is minimalist, brightly lite so you can see all the products clearly. There is a wrap around counter with a refrigerated display case. In the corners of the store, there are stands for truffles and cookies. There is no sitting area. I got a flan since I been craving for one. My friend gifted me a slice of chocolate cake. That day, the store gave a complimentary slice of key lime cake. Thank you! Flan was great. The chocolate cake and key lime cake were a bit dry for me. If you get a chance, try it yourself.
I thought I didn't like tres leches cakes, but I was wrong! My friends raved about this place, so we stopped by after dinner in Chinatown, and I was shooketh!! I thought I really wouldn't enjoy tres leches cakes (I'm such a basic Martha's cake girl, lol), but Capy proved me wrong! I was stuck between ordering the oreo or chocolate slice, and ended up choosing the oreo, and the staff gave me a chocolate slice on the house! They also basically gave a slice on the house to my other group of friends, so they are extremely generous! They have seating inside and a restroom, but it does tend to get crowded quickly! The price of each slice was about $7.
I wanted to get a birthday cake for my husband, but I didn't want to get the typical cake. I found capy and was intrigued by the tres leches cakes so I figured let's give it a try! When we walked in, we were greeted immediately. The woman was super nice and let us have some samples. We decided to get the choco caramel which she said was a popular choice. Before I paid, she asked me if I wanted to have something written on the cake. She actually wrote it on a ribbon and added to the top of the cake. Super cute. At check out, she even gave us a slice of free cake with our cake purchase. Will be coming back again!
We wondered into Capy as we were in the Little Italy area early before our dinner reservation down the street. Service here was really nice counter service. Table seating is pretty limited, but we just wanted a quick bite of cake. We ordered their tiramisu tres leches cake for around $10 after tax and found it to be pretty good. It was nice, moist and flavorful! I really liked the cake, but the ambience inside just felt weird and sterile yet, but off. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but cake is great to grab to-go.
While walking by the Little Italy sign, I stumbled upon Capy, a Spanish cake shop chain with several locations in different boroughs. The shop has a cute interior, and I decided to try the $7 fruit slice cake made with fresh peaches, pineapples, grapes, and other fruits. They offer both whole cakes and individual slices, and there are four tables available for dine-in customers. The restroom is also available, but the staff needs to unlock it for you. At checkout, I noticed a tipping option on the screen and was even asked by the staff if I wanted to add a tip. It was a bit strange to me as the staff wasn't a waitress, and it made me question if the chain pays their employees enough. Unfortunately, this was the first time I had encountered this situation and it led me to drop a star in my rating. Besides the fruit slice cake, they also offer jelly, cookies, cheesecake, and ice cream. The staff was nice to give a sample of their velvet cake and it was not too sweet. There type of cake are created to be moist inside. While I prefer a drier texture, they suggested other flavors like chocolate caramel, coconut, and strawberry for those who like a wetter texture. Overall, the pricing is reasonable for the area, and I recommend stopping by if you're looking for a unique dessert experience.
Great customer service, clean establishment, friendly staff, and a large selection of cakes/desserts to choose from. I stumbled across Capy on a whim as I was surprised they had a location in Little Italy. Upon entering, I was greeted by the friendly staff who also offered samples. They sold cakes by the whole and also individual slices. I purchased a slice of tiramisu and cookies and cream tres leches to try and the staff was so kind to give me a coconut slice on the house! All the slices tasted amazing, moist, and wasn't overly sweet. If you're not a fan of "wet" cakes this might not be for you but if you're a fan of tres leches then definitely stop by!
Capy is a Mexican dessert place. It's a chain in Mexico. This is what the nice woman working there told me. They had a lot of cakes and they're known for tres leche cake. I wanted the flan. It cost $5.50. It was really good. The location is in Little Italy. They have more locations on the area too.
Saw this Tres Leches Cake right on Little Italy in Manhattan. They have so many different flavors of Tres Leches cakes. I brought limon and blueberry and they also gave me a free slice of cappuccino. I love the blueberry and cappuccino cakes, but my sister likes the limon more lol. Also I got some bon bon flavors are [Jack Daniels, banana foster, strawberry sorbet, red velvet, pomegranate, mocha madness] I can't even wait to try their other flavors. It's a great newest addition to little Italy. I found out they also have a 2nd location at sunset park Brooklyn. Prices are $7.00 a slice Mini flans Bon bons 6pcs for $22.00 Whole cakes range around $30 and up Nearby trains D,B to Grand st or RNQWJ6 to canal st Cash/Cards Only take out
Small cake spot in Little Italy. The exterior was very eye catching so I decided to check it out. Turns out they sell tres leche cake in many flavors. I chose the mango slice which was almost $8 with tax. Overall, not a bad slice of cake but I did it expect it to be a little more moist. There's some seats in the back for you to sit down and enjoy if you choose which I thought was nice since it's slapped in a busy area in Chinatown!

Their tres leches cake options are tasty. Sweet and moist, but thankfully not quite as sopping wet and sugary as other ones I've tried. You can buy whole cakes or individual pre-packaged slices. I tried the coconut and peach slices (the latter has actual peach pieces) and they were both great. Each slice is kind of pricey, but I had each one over 2-3 sittings, so it wasn't too bad when divvied up. read more
I love tres leches cake and have wanted to try this place ever since I passed by it. Inside was bright and clean with a few tables. When I walked in they offered me a free sample of coconut tres leches cake. The piece I took was a little dry. She was friendly and helpful in answering my questions. I chose a slice of strawberry tres leches cake. I shared it with my cousin who loved it. We both love tres leches and we're happy at how moist and subtlety sweet it was. It just melted in my mouth. It is a little expensive but a nice treat. read more

Saw this Mulberry location by accident, so I went in. Place is well lit, clean, friendly staff. Curious, I bought a slice of chocolate and tiramisu tres leches. I must say, they were delish. Unexpectedly not sweet and very light. A Lil pricey, $14 for 2 slices. Make sure to ask if any peanut allergy. read more
After passing by numerous times and admiring their pretty cakes from afar but not actually going in due to lack of customers, we finally made the visit into the store. The place seemed to be hopping with customers and I figured it was the best time to give them a try. Upon walking in we were greeted warmly and pleasantly by some staff offering samples of the tres leche cake. They were super patient to explain what the different cakes were. We went with the pineapple jelly and they gave us a complimentary slice of raspberry cream cake with the purchase. The jelly was surprisingly very refreshing and not overly sweet. The tres leche sample was pretty satisfying so will be back next time for more! read more

Amazing tress leches cakes by the slice! Serious so good! We got the peach flavor and a plain slice with pineapple on top. Both were good but the peach was a pleasant surprise and was better! read more

There's a wide selection of cakes that were in full sizes and slices. I got the tiramisu slice and they also offered me a coffee slice for free! I tried the coffee slice while I was walking on the street and I literally had to stop walking cuz the cake was so damn good. It's moist, not overly sweet, and the flavors very balanced. It's the kind of cake that you want to tell your friends about and have another slice. I totally would come back and try all the flavors!! read more

We have a house divided... me, a lover of tres leches, and my wife, a non lover of tres leches. As you can see, we enjoyed three varieties. By far, the tiramisu is the best. Ironically, we do not prefer tiramisu. read more

Are you able to walk in and buy a whole cake? I was hoping to place an order but didn't realize it…
Yes you can, they did have some for sale when I walked in. You might be better off calling them to ask before heading there on what they have.
