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!

The cupcakes are fantastic, and the Nutella croissant is buttery, flaky, and absolutely worth the trip alone. Coffee is genuinely creative, rich, and warm with that perfect cinnamon-piloncillo kick, and the seasonal lattes. But what really sets it apart is the warmth. The owner greets you personally and takes time to walk you through the menu -- you feel like a regular from your first visit. Comfortable little seating area, outdoor tables, easy parking, fair prices. This is the kind of neighborhood gem you tell your friends about and then regret telling them because you want it all to yourself.

Honestly, the coffee is handcrafted and very delicious but unfortunately, I've been twice now and…read morehad a very similar experience both times. The owner starts off with a kind and welcoming greeting, but because she appears to be the only barista, once multiple customers arrive, orders quickly back up and the atmosphere noticeably changes. On my most recent visit, I ordered 2 lattes and after waiting about 20 minutes, I finally received my 1st latte and politely mentioned i was still waiting on 1 more and was met with a super rude tone and rude response. It's clear the friendliness seems to disappear as the orders pile up. Running a small business isn't easy, and I understand that hiring another employee may not be financially feasible but at some point, I think you have to reevaluate whether doing everything alone is actually costing you customers as we're the ones stuck on the receiving end of your frustration and rudeness which ruins the entire visit. As good as the drinks are, unfortunately, I wont be returning or recommending a coffee shop with rude service to my friends and loved ones.

Probably the least sweet of the three we tried. -Reese's was good but a little overpowering on the peanut butter side. -The coconut is way too sweet. Reminded me of an almond joy without the almond. Cake is a little dry. Frosting helps balance it out but most of them are too sweet. Like how they're small in size so you can sample multiple if you desire without feeling too heavy. Can't speak to service or ambiance since I didn't visit the store.

Couple hours later I look at my charges and I see that I have been chargedl $ 24.74. NP I will get this corrected. I had taken a bite of my cinnamon roll. Yum ate half of my red velvet cupcake. So I call when I get home to get it corrected the female who answered the phone could barely be bothered. Exchanged information correction the charge was $17 and something cents. She said is there anything else I can help you with? I was a little taken aback that there was no apology, I realize she was not the one who had helped me. But I did explain to her. This was the company she worked for, and it would have been nice to hear some sort of an apology. She told me she wasn't the one who served me. ???? OK I see the problem They don't work as a cohesive it's everyone for themselves . Disappointed.. I did take the time to rectify their mistake. I had no problem with that, but I have a problem with the last person I had to deal with. I don't feel the need to return to dots EVER!! My cupcakes were great . I will end with that.
