What a gem Jackie's Sweets is! The name is perfectly fitting, not just for the yummy pastries and…read morecakes, but for the delightful staff as well. This was my second visit, and once again, everyone was incredibly patient and nice. The atmosphere is bright yet cozy, they have plenty of books and a lot of room to catch up with friends or settle in for some work. This time around, we tried the Coco Cloud Matcha. If you enjoy fun and funky beverages, this is a must; it's a blend of coconut water and matcha that somehow tastes sweet and milky while remaining both rich and refreshing. I'm not sure how they pull it off, but I'm obsessed! If you prefer a more traditional option, the Strawberry Matcha is a decadent choice, I love that you can actually taste the fresh strawberry compote. We also had the Tres Leches Coffee, which featured a perfect balance of creaminess and bold espresso notes. We ordered it hot this time, and while I personally find it ideal iced, it's wonderful that it works so well both ways. For treats, we chose the Dulce de Leche cake. While the sponge wasn't quite as moist as I expected, the overall flavor was superb, especially with the addition of the meringue. To balance the sweetness with something salty, we added a savory spinach and feta pastry. Definitely ask for it to be heated for the best experience!Not pictured, but equally noteworthy, were the empanadas. They offer both beef and chicken, served with a delicious green cilantro sauce. Whether you need a quick caffeine stop or a productive place to get some work done, Jackie's Sweets is the place to be!

Jackie's Sweets truly delivers a top-tier Dominican cake experience. I've had the chance to try…read moremany Dominican cakes throughout my life, and this one stands out on another level. We tried both the original and the pineapple versions, and they were incredibly well done--perfectly moist, flavorful, and balanced without being overly sweet. The hospitality of the owner made the experience even better. The environment was warm, welcoming, and really pleasant. I went with a friend, and we ended up staying a bit longer because it's just a great space to relax. We also had coffee, and I highly recommend the mocha latte--smooth, rich, and the perfect complement to the cake. There are so many tempting choices, and overall it's just a great place to visit. Especially during the winter months, this is a cozy spot to hang out, enjoy great desserts, and feel welcomed. Highly recommend Jackie's Sweets.

Medium draft list but with bottle and can options too. Had the cape May double IPA 16 oz. 1.

Highly recommended but salty so drink plenty of fluids. Will be back again to try other food items!

Our group of 3 throughly enjoyed the happy hour specials and pricing as well as the winter specials. Our server (Mike?) was super friendly and attentive. Beverages: Apple pie old fashioned and sangria The sangria was excellent. My husband thought the old fashioned tasted like pure sugar (I guess to be expected for apple pie). Beer was his preferred beverage of choice. App: Chips and queso! --Always a good choice Entrees: Short rib burger, bbq boneless wings, killer b pizza, side salad (for balance). --All throughly enjoyed and would recommend. The pizza was super fresh and the crust was cooked to perfection. Not too soft, not too crunch. (No one wants a soggy pizza). Also noteworthy, the pepperoni cups. :) If you're looking for casual, relaxed sophistication and a good happy hour deal, you've found your spot.

The space inside is super tiny inside, but everyone working there works hard to get people in and out quickly -- plus the teeny-tiny inside adds to the cozy, nostalgic, small business feel. Several tables with chairs and umbrellas to sit and enjoy when the weather is nice. DB also has lots of other delicious deli/lunch items (haven't tried many yet bc I'm always craving my regular order) and some sweeter breakfast treats. Fridge full of different flavored homemade cream cheese & other breakfast essentials -- orange juice jugs, grab and go drinks & counter coffee. Bonus points for no longer being a cash only business!!

However, I love the ambiance of this place, and already before you go in, there are some tables and parasols outside, and a bright, Colombian flag! Inside, it is a bit small, but I've never seen it super crowded. However, I don't think it would be authentic if it wasn't "intimate" lol. In any case, I have tried the following and everything has been great: Mini Bandeja Paisa, Bandeja Paisa, Filete al Ajillo, all of the bakery items except the churros, and the fruit juices with water). The portions are very generous and I always have leftovers. The lady that I always see there is also very nice (I can't remember her name though).
