The more sizable of two locations, another visited just 27-hours later in the city's Ruzafa area far more crowded and loud, guests visiting Dulce de Leche Jesus at any time of day will likely find the café busy and after waiting in a small queue the largest issue is one of deciding what *not* to order from a collection of more than fifty choices, made to order coffee the only things delaying guests from collecting their goods and eating immediately with numbered cards handed out along with an invitation to take a seat as items are plated. Populated with about 90% locals, many of them clearly regulars based on the manner in which they were greeted by staff, it was on the far side of a wooden picnic table that a seat was taken followed by perhaps five minutes wait as a smooth Americano was prepared, the radio overhead American and largely ignorable with the setting shabby-chic and relaxing, a total of six items soon to arrive including a flaky Argentinean "Bay Biscuit" provided complimentary as the young lady at the register had difficulty describing what was essentially laminated dough crusted in Sugar with a savory linger that seemed to be from creamy White Cheese as opposed to Buttermilk. Offering savories in addition to the sweets, the former not really of much interest despite the fact that all of it looked quite nice, Breakfast progressed with two small Alfajores that outperformed those Stateside thanks to both the quality of the Caramel and unsweetened Coconut used for balance, the freshly-made Mil Hojas also quite successful with the Pastry layers still flaky and crisp with the thick Dulce de Leche creating no sog. Almost overwhelming in terms of Cake choices, the American practice of only offering a select-few by the slice completely the opposite as staff was seen cutting large wedges of more than a dozen choices for patrons as early as 08h15, those looking for a truly remarkable Carrot Cake are encouraged to give Dulce de Leche a chance as the traditional sweetness of Pineapple is replaced by bold spicing which allows both Walnuts and grated Vegetables to shine beneath light icing, both the Dark Chocolate with Apple and Marble Plum Cake with Pears eating like "Ooey Gooey" Butter Cake with rich Streusel topping atop a smooth Fruit base.

It is not that common to find this kind of cake shop in Spain. So I would say that this place is…read moreone of a kind! This Argentinian cake shop has amazing cakes and other pastries. Personally I like their carrot cake and any cake that has dulce de leche in it (for someone who has never tried dulce de leche, it is similar to caramel but it is much richer!). In the morning they offer a good deal for breakfast set (2 Euros for a cup of coffee and a piece of toast or bread or croissant!!!). Also they offer lunch menu for 6 Euros. For their drink menu, they have the typical ones that Spain offers and also different kinds of fruit and vegetable juice. For whoever has lactose intolerance, you can ask for lactose-free milk in your coffee! Noted that during las Fallas they offered churros con dulce de leche which I almost died from overconsumption of their churroses.

We buy cakes from Crème Bûlée every Sunday ! I love them,…read morereally tasty, delicate, perfect presentation. If you like hazelnut, you can not miss this place you will be in heaven! Every cake I have tried is a must! and I have to say I am pretty critical with sweets. So happy this place is open in Ruzafa!

This was my favorite bakery in Old Town Valencia. The pastries were tender and delicious. Staff…read morewere great sharing their favorites. The coffee and orange juice topped it off. Like many other places the orange juice is squeezed right there by a contraption that I wish I could have at home. The bakery is very small and has a neighborhood vibe which is why I liked it. And the coffee was great too.

Everything looked great and the pastries tasted even better than we could have imagined.read more
