Super excited because the mini fruit tarts are going to look amazing on my newly purchased dessert tray! I was feeling a bit sleepy so I decided to fuel up & eat breakfast while I was there. I ordered a Vanilla Latte & a side order of 3 eggs + Sausage Links. If you're a big eater and want the additional potatoes and pancakes, I recommend paying a few dollars more and ordering the Breakfast platter. The Vanilla Latte came in a paper cup (a bit bummed out by not being able to take a more IG worthy picture of that), but it actually tasted really good! Same with the sausage links - it was probably one of the best tasting ones I've had for breakfast in a while. Aside from their wide selection of pastries and food options, their customer service was phenomenal. Every customer that walked through the door was greeted upon arrival and thanked on their way out. The restaurant was very clean and the cakes looked so beautiful behind the glass case. I had a pleasant experience today at Merengue Bakery & Cafe and can't wait to come back soon to try a slice of their chocolate cake!

It is the perfect spot for a quick coffee and sweet treats!

Unfortunately, service was rough. It took a long time to go through the people in front of us and for us to order. We got a couple of breads which were a great size and tasty. The coffees we got were also tasty. We ordered three breakfast items, which only two ended up coming out. I decided to get a refund for one of the items instead of waiting. The staff were super apologetic! The inside was so cute and modern. The outside had one table with two chairs. They were kind enough to bring us out a third chair.

While I was there, I also grabbed a slice of their vegan chocolate brownie just to try it out. I was so surprised because it did not taste like it was vegan at all.

I went in on Saturday morning around 11:00 AM, and the male cashier working the counter was very friendly. He provided great customer service, which really made the whole experience even better. It was not my first time at PB (I even went to a couple in Seoul) and it certainly will not be my last.
