Just cakes? No way, there's so much more!
What can I say, my parents have been coming here since I was 7 to get our fresh baked pineapple filled Nicaraguan style cake and to this very day, the staff in my office comes out to this little shop for the very same style cake for my birthday. It's not just me who is crazy about it either, there are never any leftovers (a shame really) because it's just that delicious.
They also make what are thought to be these odd little pastelitos de carne (beef), pollo (chicken), or piña (pineapple), which have a semi-hard empanada like exterior with a semi-crunchy edge (not flaky) and they are covered with grains of sugar, each about the size of a dumpling. Sugar and beef on chicken? That's crazy! Yea, well, try it.
It's a Nica bakery thru and thru serving up picos, bolillos, quesillos, crema, cuajadas, Pio V, cacao, & cebada; but they also serve up a pretty good blend of cuban coffee, pastelitos de guava y queso, croquettas, tequeños and even colombian pan de bono.
Come for the cakes but don't shy away from the snacks and the authentic Nica items, all freshly baked, cured, or handmade daily.
Oh yea, did I mention they make a tres leche that makes even lactose intolerants wish they could eat it simply from the expressions others make? Don't leave this place without trying a slice of that Nicaraguan heaven. read more
