    The mango tres leche cake is to die for. Although prices have increased over the years, they maintained the taste and quality of their tres leches cakes, so worth it. No tables available to eat inside since covid. Staff are cordial and friendly. Best mexican bakery in town!

    Receipt
    Karina O.

    Terrible! Horrendous service and poor quality food. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I had called early on and placed an order for a tres leche cake with whip cream, strawberries & peaches, thin layer of dulce de leche with almonds on the side along with it saying happy birthday mom on the cake. The lady had repeated my order exactly as what I said and told me it would cost around $50 or so because of the additions, no problem. I live in Long Island and told the lady taking my order that I would like to pick it up early because I live 2 hours away which she was accommodating and said okay to 9AM. On February 11, when I went to pick up the cake it did not have the writing on top and the nuts were very scarce. I had asked the young lady to please put more nuts since there was barely any. Once I paid I just received back the receipt and said if I can have a bag. She stated they charge $1.50 for the bag and I said okay I will pay but then told me there is a $7 min since I was paying with a card. So, I just carried the box. Finally, when it came to opening the cake for everyone and cutting a slice I realized this was the completely wrong order. I had given my mom the first slice hoping it would still be good just different but she couldn't finish it. Just like that the whole cake was thrown out. I was so upset and embarrassed that I had brought this cake for my Mother's birthday. It was such a terrible feeling of disappointment. The mousse was so thick and the whipped cream was overwhelmingly thick. The next day (Feb 12) I had called early in the morning and told the bakery my situation that I got the wrong order and could even send them photos. I spoke with a lady named Miriam who really made my experience even more unpleasant. What had happen was that the young lady from the day I picked up the cake did not give me a yellow copy of the order I only got the payment receipt. On that order someone had crossed out the strawberry and peaches and wrote caramel mousse. I told Miriam this is incorrect I never stated that. To make it more unpleasant this lady was inconsiderate and rude towards the end. Because I didn't get that order receipt I couldn't fight my case. Stating that they can give me a $5 store credit. But can't reimburse me. I stated I would like to talk to the boss and she said she would leave a message and the boss would get back to me but because the boss doesn't come everyday just here and there that she can't give me a definite period as to when the boss will contact me. So, I waited the whole day on February 13 and got no call. I called again on February 14 and finally spoke to a lady who was much more pleasant and helpful. I told her I was expecting a call and just wanted to see if the boss was available. The lady said she will see if there was any message left and as to my surprise the lady informs me that no message was left. Miriam had told me she left a message for their boss. I do not appreciate being lied to which made me even more upset. However, the lady was much more understanding of my situation and gave me a number to reach out to so I can send photos of what I received. Which, is what I wanted to do early on but Miriam was not at all helpful. I sent the pictures to the number and Miriam calls me back which I really wasn't too happy about. Stating she spoke with the boss and can only give me $22 store credit for their bakery, when I physically go they can service it. Which I had repeatedly said I live in Long Island. Tolls are not cheap. I have never experienced this before and never wrote such a detailed review like this for a bakery. What upsets me is how inconsiderate and unprofessional this bakery has been. I would stick to much better places& with better customer services such as Martha's country bakery. But I wanted to support this bakery because it's wasn't just me but my whole family that has been coming here for 10+ years. However, most definitely we agreed to never go back to this bakery. Horrendous experience!! Please don't waste your time and money.

    My godsons 16th birthday cake

    I have been getting all my cakes and sweets from this place for years Everyone there is amazing and professional especially the owner. If anyone needs a cake or special order please visit them. Look at my recent order.

    a piece of cake with a bite taken out of it

    This was no good at all payed a lot of money for this cake and it was supposed to be a tres leches but it had no milk at all horribly dry and no flavor it tasted liked it's been there for days

    Bridal shower cake

    I've ordered two cakes now and have been very pleased. The bakers/decorators are extremely talented: they can replicate any design with perfection. Both cakes were strawberry shortcake and delicious as well as beautiful. I'm also impressed with the service: the ladies that take orders are very professional and efficient.

    They did amazing with decorating my daughters first birthday cake, flavors were delicious and moist, but failed to listen to the main ingredient where each type of cake was suppose to go. I had more leftover than expected because of it. Expensive ($320) for 50 people, if my family wasn't paying for it I would have totally purchased elsewhere.

    The cake

    The cakes here were good a couple of months ago and the prices were fair but all of the sudden quality decreased and the prices went up. The other day went to pick up a custom order we made over the phone and we asked for the cake to be for 8-10 people. When we went to pick it up the cake was smaller than what we asked for AND we had to buy another cake(the cake show in the pictures below). This cake mas more filling than actual cake and it seemed like the filling was old because after an hour or so the cake became inedible and we had to throw it out. We are extremely disappointed. You just lost a customer. If I could I would give you zero stars but since it's not possible you only get one star.

    What I received.

    Such a bad experience at this place! The manager Roberto was very nice and tried to fix the issue by charging me 1/2 price, but the girl at the counter was completely useless and had a bad attitude as if I was wrong for expecting my cake to look like the picture. Definitely not going back to this place. If you want a cake with a basic design, then this is the place for you. If you're looking for a cake made by a professional, avoid this place at all costs. Look at the pictures and let me know what YOU think. OH...AND THEY MISSPELLED "DETECTIVE" THE FIRST TIME AROUND. THE MANAGER HAD TO FIX IT. Smh.

    This bakery USED to have good quality years ago when they were a small but ever since their renovations. It seems that quantity has overtaken QUALITY. They do want to charge the big bucks for a cake but it's always a disappointment at pick up because quality is not delivered. Resenlly I order a cheese cake for a birthday of my nice. My surprise was cake was not cheese it only had a thin layer of cheese . They are super sloppy with their work & don't care about the customer one bit. You don't get what you pay for. I will never use this bakery again. Don't make the same mistake I did. Horrible customer service. Definitely recommend driving the extra mile to another local bakery where you will get quality, there's plenty in Yonkers.

    Custom tres leches cake with berry mousse filling.

    I ordered a custom tres leches cake for a 10-person bridal shower and every single one of my friends and family enjoyed it. Prior to the event, I discussed cake details through text with Kathy and Miriam, who were very accommodating and helpful. I sent a picture of what I wanted and the cake was made just like I envisioned and even better. The berry mousse filling was a big hit and the cake wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. The price was reasonable as well. It was perfect!

    Red Velvet "Coco" themed cake. It was beautifully made and tasted as amazing as it looks! Best red velvet Fondant cake I've had!

    See all

    cakes are amazing but the workers attitude is ridiculous. Do better because your prices are too high to have shitty service.

    The service is not the friendliest, the process of getting your pastries is very disorganized, the actual food is ok.
