The place is very small, cute and cozy. The customer service is pretty good. This is my 2nd time coming here. The first time I was just checking the place out to see what they had to offer. I ended up getting a guava cake. The slice was huge I guess that is why it was $7. & I also ordered a small Mangu for $9. It was very tasty I wish the portion was a bit bigger but hey. I would definitely return.
I came in today with my bestie because we saw this spot on IG and wanted to give it a try. We were starving so we knew we wanted to have a meal before trying desserts. The issue was how small this location is and seating was def limited. There was a big group that came in and took all the seats/tablets near the window but not all the sweats were filled. We waited until someone was leaving and tom the seats, it took about 10 minutes. Then we took turns ordering our food, my bestie had a burger with fries and i had a fish with mash and veggies. Both were great, i just wish the mash had more flavor but the fish was amazing. I ordered 2 tres leches cups- reg and strawberry and def preferred the reg. The strawberry is good just sweeter. I also got the beso de angel slice. We tried everything before we left but i saved mine for to eat at home. I was glad they had a restroom, it was pretty inside and clean. This place def gets crowded and the store is pretty small. Seating for Maybe 12-15 people at a time? The staff was nice and kind. I would come back
I came here on a Friday night and I came with low expectations because I don't trust other people's reviews. So first and foremost this place was great and I would definitely come back. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I had a lot of questions and they answered all of them. Also the place is small so I would recommend you come early to get a seat. I ordered the angel cake which was good and I want to try other items. This is a great place to come with a friend and chat over dessert. I liked their decorations they had very positive things on the wall.
Wanted love this place so badly but it disappointed me, despite being a heavy sugar fanatic. I think its aesthetic and overall product variety is great in the neighborhood, but scarcity shouldn't substitute quality. Very watery and warm milkshake. The hot side foods (chicken tenders, cassava balls, etc) are very dry as well. They desperately needed a dipping sauce. In retrospect, I should've asked or at least been given some. The cupcake is a dense pound cake-base as well. Not horrible but definitely not what I'm use to. Also, you really gotta be aggressive in there. If you're not adamant on being served, the line does not matter or serve any function.
First visit here because of all the hype on social media. This isn't a driver friendly area! It's difficult to find parking here, lots of double parked cars and this bakery was packed on a Sunday afternoon. There was a line with about a 10 minute wait and the small tables were full. It's a small space, just elbow room. I opted for getting takeout rather than waiting for a seat to open. The displays here are beautiful. The presentation of their desserts are lovely. The servers are Spanish speaking but I was able to manage. I got 4 desserts to go, each provided in a separate plastic container instead of a dessert box, which I would've preferred. I tried the mango mousse dessert and as pretty as it looks, it didn't impress. The shell is white chocolate, which I liked, and the center has mango puree. It's not too sweet but it didn't meet my expectation. The mousse wasn't light and fluffy instead it had a jello like quality. I also had a chocoflan, which is also presented beautifully but the caramel rosette on top was too thick and I couldn't taste any chocolate. The other dessert was a passion fruit filled chocolate mousse and a banana tart. I didn't care for the passion fruit at all, again the chocolate wasn't too my liking and the texture is dense not light. The banana tart was more of the that dense whipped cream and caramel then banana and the cookie tart itself was tasteless. The whipped caramel and whipped cream topping here is meant to hold it's shape for the presentation of the desserts so its thick and dense, making it's texture and taste artificial. The bill for 4 desserts was $35+ a bit pricey for the Bronx. Overall, I appreciate that this is a family owned business, a minority owned and run bakery. It has a pretty esthetic and the desserts I tried were okay. If I were to go back I'd want to try their savory items instead. Happy Yelping!
So happy we stopped by this viral location after learning about it on Instagram. The line outside moved really quickly and was worth the wait! The desserts we tried were all delicious. My favorite was the flancocho - half Dominican cake with a layer of flan in the middle. We hope to go earlier next time to try some of their sold out best sellers like the guava tres leches! Heads up, parking is pretty impossible in this area.
Gorgeous Dominican desserts! Cute little shop & customer service was there, right in the Bronx ! Mango mousse cake was my absolute favorite I have to go try the other fruit cakes now. The carrot cake was ok I've had better and that tres leche flan was soo good !! Cant wait to try their savory food next time.
I had an amazing time here even thought the space is very small and if you are by the register you will not eat in peace they do the best with what they have for sure. The are very nice and friendly. the selections are to die for. I love their deserts not to mention their food. They have indoor seating and they even have a bathroom. Food is also very fresh and hot when it comes out. The decor is outstanding and all very picture friendly for a small location. They even do custom orders.
The food and pastries were fantastic! My only complaint is that they used suspiro (a Dominican "frosting") in one of the pastries that really called for whipped cream or MAYBE marshmallow fluff, but suspiro does not belong on a pastry.... Everything else was better than my family and I were expecting! Very small place with a few tables and a long line. But worth the wait!
I've seen this bakery all over my social media & as soon as I saw that it was near my neighborhood, I knew I had to make time to try it! I came in slightly closer to the bakery's closing time & was able to get their Tres Leches cups & their Beso de Angel cake slice (a flan-cocho basically). The checkout process wasn't as quick because of the language barrier, but the employees were very kind. Their Tres Leche had good flavor, but there a lot more frosting than cake in the cup & the Beso de Angel cake also had good flavor. The inside of the store was very pink, cute, & aesthetically pleasing. Will definitely return to try other items on their menu.
We are beyond grateful to Karina with The Cake for bringing our wedding vision to life. From the very first consultation, she was warm, attentive, and so creative. The cake was not only breathtaking in design--each tier was a perfect masterpiece--but it also tasted incredible. Every guest raved about it, and it was such a sweet centerpiece to our celebration. If you're looking for a baker who will go above and beyond, Karina is the one. Thank you, Karina, for making our day so special!
The pancakes were sooo good, the service was very attentive and great, felt like a princess lol.

My wife brought me here for a birthday gift, as I love Dominican food, and this place didn't disappoint! You can't miss this place. This place stands out as this bright pink beacon below the tracks. On entry you're greeted by colorful pastries and cakes encased in light up glass cases like jewelry. It is a little tight to sit inside for parties bigger than two, but that's because it's pretty busy. The Coffee was excellent. No need to add sugar. It just tastes perfect with that cinimon that Dominican coffee is known for. The Tres Golpes was excellent, as was every other course my wife threw at me. The only thing to last long enough to be photographed was the Chimi, and my desert. The staff was very pleasant, outgoing, and surprisingly attentive for such a busy place. I'd go back. read more

I, too, was fooled by Instagram. We discovered this place the same way most people do -- through the cute, trendy desserts that look great online. I also wanted to support a local business. So my husband made the journey across town and brought home a few treats from Happy Cake, including a chocolate coffee dessert shaped like a Starbucks cup with a chocolate lid. When my daughter popped the chocolate lid off to eat it, we found mold growing inside the dessert. This is absolutely unacceptable for any food business -- I don't care if it's "my people" or not. For context, we bought the dessert on Sunday and discovered the mold on Monday. Fresh, properly stored desserts do not grow visible mold overnight. That means this item was already old, improperly stored, or handled without proper food safety standards. None of those possibilities are okay, especially when the dessert was meant for a child. We didn't bother driving all the way back to the store -- it's too far -- but we threw out that dessert and every other treat we bought immediately. I'm just grateful my daughter didn't take a bite first. I cannot trust the freshness or safety of their products and will not be buying anything from Happy Cake again. And if anyone thinks I'm exaggerating, I'm posting a photo so you can see exactly what we found. read more
I went with my book club and we had such an excellent time. The wait was long, but it was absolutely worth it. From the moment we sat down, everything exceeded expectations. The drinks were delicious, the food was just as amazing, and everything was presented so beautifully. You can tell they really care about the details. Luis, our waiter, was incredible. He was attentive, thoughtful, and truly paid attention to every detail throughout our visit. We were celebrating our book club anniversary, and they surprised us with a lit pastry and a celebratory song. It was such a special touch and made the brunch even more memorable. The entire staff was kind, welcoming, and attentive. I will definitely be coming back to be served by Luis and to enjoy more sweet treats. I cannot wait to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend. read more

If you go anywhere in New York, please go here. Servers are kind. The desserts are to die for. The pistachio butter oozes out of the croissant when you cut into it and it is deliciously paired with a blackberry sauce. The fruit mousses are so delicious. And the tres golpes was good. The place is very small and it's all pink. Very cutesty. Apparently they have a larger location too! read more
This is a very cute and cozy spot. It gives Afternoon Tea vibes. I got a few items in the menu - I like to taste everything - and hands down the tres leches was so good!!! Everything else I got was dry (especially that caramel cake!!) or just blah. The service was good. They were very busy but still kind enough to explain the selections, patiently. read more

We ordered delivery as a group and I got the guava tres leches. The delivery was very quick and the shop was enthusiastic to take our order. Everyone was extremely happy with their desserts. I loved the crumbs on my cake which added so much flavor and the guava syrup tasted so fresh! The tres leches was absolutely delicious and I was craving more. They got the cake, leche, and guava taste combination perfect. My colleague ordered a cinnamon roll and it was soft and delicious (unfortunately no photos). Whether you go for a regular tres leches or any other dessert, you'll def come back the from bakery happy! read more
