The set up has a couple tables in the front and some rocking chairs next to their ice cream. There are gf baking mixes, juices, teas, coffees, cakes, cookies and pies. The people that work the shop are very friendly and understanding when it comes to allergies. Everything is easily labeled. This visit, we bought a lot but one of may favorite items was the Cuban sandwich, it was very delicious. I would recommend trying any of the sandwiches but definitely pressed or toasted. I am really looking forward to trying a coffee or matcha my next visit. I hope to see this bakery and bakeries like this expand here in the Tampa area.

Some of the mixes, coffee beans and a hibiscus tea to go.

The lime was moving well today, i got my whole pie at $24 n will update review after i get to car n not eat the whole pie lol Updated ; sun 26th 2025: The pie is very good, its a cream pie type. Cloudy whip cream with condense milk and Kumquat rinds. I think one slice is the serving size. It scales up every byte. High bitter fruits tend to have a scaling effect. Every byte multiplies the bitterness. Not bad in a slice size. I recommend a flush with beer or clear soda. I think next time i am around ill try their pastries.

We thought the prices were very good but could not get them to refill the coffee dispenser while I was there so only 1 cup of coffee. We were one of the few in the restaurant and watched as they talked in the back while waiting for another coffee. We did not wait long for cuban toast and it was fair not toasted really well. It is very dinner like and nothing fancy. We sat and talked for a bit and went on our way.

When did Dade City become trendy? In my book, it was when this cupcake shop went in. The…read moreanticipation was killing the cake fans in our family as we waited for the shop to open. Now that it is open, we have had the Chocolate with Caramel, Chocolate with Snickers and Caramel, Birthday Cake with Sprinkles, Chocolate Chip Heaven and Lemon cupcakes. I have yet to try the rest but have heard the Red Velvet and Chocolate Mint ones are great and I need to try the Peanut Butter ones. The cupcake options change every few days. The chocolate ones are my favorite due to my allegiance to chocolate but the Snickers bar with caramel drizzled on top sealed the deal. I am not sure what you would call that type of frosting but it doesn't matter; I could eat that cupcake every day. These cupcakes are dense, hearty, made from scratch and really good. Some have butter cream frosting, others have cream cheese frosting. They might be considered pricey at $2.50 but that's just about the going rate for cupcakes so it's a great (and necessary) treat once in a while. Although, I have to admit, now that Dade City has two cupcake stores, I have been making a trip downtown to get cupcakes every weekend. The store sells tons of other items too - cupcake liners, cards, picture frames, soaps, etc. The best part about the store décor is the diamond checkerboard floor. I just love it.

If you get the chance to visit the shop in Dade City, it's worth it. The space is fun, eclectic, and full of personality, with touches of her Scottish heritage and support for other local businesses.

And don't even get me started on the rice and beans -- not an afterthought at all. They're seasoned so well, full of flavor on their own, and they complement the birria perfectly.

Tucked away in the heart of Dade City, there's a small Cuban coffee cafe that's a true hidden gem. You'll know you've found it the moment the rich, intoxicating aroma of freshly roasted Cuban coffee hits you. This place isn't just about the coffee--it's about the entire experience. The Cuban coffee itself is nothing short of excellent, with a bold flavor and a signature sweetness that's perfectly balanced. But the real showstopper, the one dessert you absolutely cannot leave without trying, is the flan. It's a creamy, rich, and perfectly caramelized slice of heaven that will make you a believer. While the cafe may be small and easy to miss, the incredible quality of its offerings and the authentic, welcoming atmosphere make it a must-visit for anyone in the Dade City area. read more
