    The chocolate vanilla cake with a layer of caramel too!
    Candace F.

    I've been seeing the sign for this bakery for years during my travels around Seven Corners! So, today I finally spontaneously decided to pull into the plaza and check it out! As it turns out, the bakery specializes in baked goods from El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico and North and South America. There are totally adorable pinatas hanging from the ceiling! The bakery has a large selection of sweets, including many types of cookies, cakes, tarts and more!! I decided to try out a piece of chocolate/vanilla/caramel cake and a vanilla custard tart with fresh fruit on it! The tart was wonderful! I devoured it way too fast! I really enjoyed the cake too, but I didn't realize it had a whipped cream-based frosting; I prefer sweet, buttercream frosting. I would definitely go back again! So many interesting and unique baked goods to try out!

    Stopped here randomly and saw that other reviews had suggested the tres leches cake. I ordered a slice and it was so good! Not too sweet, soft consistency, great flavor. And I don't normally even like cakes. They also seemed to have a lot of other non-cake options. They were pretty busy inside and the service was quick.

    Very bad costumer service , from the owner's relative. I ordered a cake , today august 14th and she answered like she was going to bark at me.

    I love the smell of a bakery and this one isn't any different. We ordered a queso bread (kind of like a cunape) and a buñuelo (a large circular crispy fried treat that is covered with melted brown sugar). The Dulce Bakery has the best cunapes, but I did enjoy their buñuelo - it was airy, crispy, sweet, and if you have a sweet tooth, this is a great treat. The staff were friendly and it seems as if a lot of people come in to get some treats to go. +buñuelo

    Didn't realize how bad the cake was made until after picking it up. The lettering it terrible and the cake itself is lopsided.

    My family has always gotten cakes from here so I decided to go myself. The cakes taste great but the customer service is terrible. Two days ago I called to order a red velvet cake. Over the phone I gave them my name, phone number, card info, cake flavor, and what I wanted written on top. I went in today to pick it up and they were super confused. The girl looked in the refrigerators and checked the back twice to ask. She then told me that nobody had made an order for a red velvet cake. I was upset and even showed her that I did make a phone call two days prior. She went to the back again, came back, then told me that they were actually just finishing the cake up. It was very strange how a few minutes before there was supposedly no cake and then now there is one? She told me to wait 5 minutes for it to come out and I ended up waiting 15 minutes. Not coming back here again.

    Worst cake ever

    Very inconspicuous shop! I was pleasantly surprised to be able to discover more and more things…read morewhile here during the visit. First I was greeted by a customer while I was reading the outside sign on a pumpkin spicy latte, a customer that was leaving stopped and turned and explained it was everything and do good and if I have not, I must as they put actual pumpkin puree inside not just that pump pump stuff. So I was sold walking in. Next up was home made cookies making ice cream sandwich's by the front door. before I could even get through the line to the front, I was greeted with more baked goods, cupcakes, scones, macroons, dog biscuits - normal biscuits! So I went to town ordering a variety being asked by my lil and my inner child. While sipping on my now, pumpkin spiced latte from here, I saw actual meals being served and I missed out on ordering sandwiches from the back :( Something I will be coming back for! I did get up and order more things, like a fall inspired cookie ice cream sandwhich, all alone by itself in a sea of other flavors, I had to rescue it. And the sour macrons! When did that become a thing??? They were so good and perfect for our movie night later that day. I'm very happy to have stumbled across this find.

    Was looking for something sweet and this place was pretty close to the hotel. I decided to try the…read morecake and pie. The lady behind the counter also gave me a free cookie to try. The key lime pie was absolutely delicious as well as the cookie. I would definitely try both of them again. Unfortunately the cake was not as good. It was just too dry and not sweet enough. Overall a good place to visit.

    This place is interesting because they have essentially three different menus along with a bakery…read morethat I believe is open all day with a variety of interesting baked goods. They have a breakfast/brunch menu, a daytime/lunch menu, and an evening menu and you can watch them preparing items in the kitchen. You can either eat inside or outside on the patio, and they have heaters for the cooler days. We came here to get some baked goods mid-afternoon and they still had a good selection. The bear claw was large and tasty with an enjoyable cinnamon flavor and the lemon meringue croissant was unique and enjoyable as I'd never had a croissant with lemon meringue filing. They weren't cheap but they were tasty and enjoyable. I did want to mention they have parking but it's hit or miss on getting a spot since it can get crowded so walking might be easiest if you live nearby. I'll come back here again for a meal and to try some other items on their menu.

    I really wanted to love this place…read more My family and I chose to come here for Easter because it's dog-friendly -- which felt like the perfect combination for us. They even have a dog menu, and the patio setup is honestly beautiful. The ambiance is warm, inviting, and aesthetically on point. The staff greets you right away, and first impressions were genuinely great. We chose to sit outside on the balcony so my puppy could join us, and that space alone is worth noting -- fire pits going, cozy atmosphere, just really well done. Unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. We ordered food for all of us, including my daughter and my puppy. My food and my puppy's food came out fairly quickly, but my daughter's meal never arrived. After waiting quite a while, I had to flag down the waiter, only to be told -- after the fact -- that they didn't even have what she ordered. At no point before that did anyone communicate this. So now she has to reorder, and we're waiting all over again while the rest of us are already eating. When her food finally arrives, there's no silverware. Just... dropped off with no thought to the fact that she actually needed utensils to eat. We also ordered lemonade, which was great -- but when the waiter offered to bring more after the issues, it never came. To try and make up for things, they brought out a dessert that looked beautiful, but when we asked what was in it (due to food sensitivities), the waiter had no idea. He eventually came back with an allergy sheet, which felt like an afterthought rather than informed service. At that point, I asked to speak with a manager. Instead, the waiter told me, "I just got out of trouble -- what can I do to make this right?" That response alone was incredibly off-putting and unprofessional. We ultimately just had my daughter's meal removed from the bill and decided to move on. Even my puppy's waffles -- which was one of the things we were most excited about -- came out slightly burnt. Overall, the lack of communication, poor follow-through, and disorganized service completely overshadowed what could have been a great experience. It's disappointing because the space and concept have so much potential. Unfortunately, I can't overlook the service issues.
