There are a few gluten-friendly options and they are able to accommodate a lot of custom requests with some advanced notice. I love that they have specials for different holidays. I recently started taking advantages of their specials: I ordered a Triple Mousse Cake from their Valentine's Day specials (soooo good!) and a Berry Deluxe King Cake from their Mardi Gras specials. I'm always on the lookout on social media to see what the next specials are to be able to treat myself.

My local FB group posted a quick review of the cinnamon rolls so I had to check for myself. When I got there, no rolls were in the display case. I was just about to try something else when the person working the register told me there were some that had just been baked. I ordered two because. I walked back to my car to enjoy them by the fall leaves like a bootleg Hallmark movie. They were delicious. Soft and fluffy, lightly glazed, and not overly sweet. I loved them. So much so I went back the next day but they only had them unglazed. So I had to pass. Side note: they also have the festive Canada Dry flavors you only find during the holidays. Love that. This is a cute neighborhood spot. You can even see the ladies in the back kneading the dough and making the pastries. I'll def be back to support it!

Seen the signage for this bakery while driving on Middlebush Lane but have always been on the go…read morethat I never stopped by. Todays was at leisure and while passing by made an impromptu stop and decided to check out this bakery. Run by a mother son duo , it's a cute bakery selling authentic Mexican pastries. The ambience is nothing fancy . The standard display case showcasing their pastries , which are not seemingly very attractive, but their service wraps it all up into a pretty package. They have a coffee station and a cooler with sodas and other cold beverages Conchas, Sweet roll, Gusanitos , Sweet empanadas , croissants, Dressed Concha's , Tostadas, Sweet corn muffin and cake. Many of these were new to me. But I wanted to try the sweet roll and dressed mini Chocolate Concha's . They gave us complimentary vanilla topped concha's and a sweet corn muffin to try . Nothing was cloyingly sweet . Simple basic flavors but baked to perfection. Sweet roll and cone muffin was nothing unique but was a good combo with hot coffee. The concha's topping was the sugary based icing that made the pastry texture interesting. Crisp sugar coated exterior with a soft interior. I found different from anything i have tried before. I felt all pastries were a bit eggy for my taste , but it may be the nature of the pastry itself. They cater for events and among other things they make colorful Corazonchas which are heart shaped concha's that could be a good substitute for standard cookies at a gathering. I would recommend trying this spot to get a taste of Mexican style pastries.

I'm always on the hunt for good donuts in general so I was hype to try something outside of DD. I got a box full of assorted donuts - the maple bacon and cinnamon looked especially good. I got a cronut (legit one of my fave donuts ever) for a car snack. Mind ya business. I'm not gonna lie. My box of dough and sidecar were $31. Pricey! But the service was warm, the donuts looked fresh and airy, and the other items - braided breads, cookies, etc. enticed me to visit again in the near future. Happy to spend my money in a local business. Also, the cronut was fantastic. So light, perfect tasting icing, great layers. I'd like to think I chose wisely.

What I ordered the first time: - Latte - Hot chocolate - Beef croissant The drinks were decent but the beef croissant was so good! Very flaky and messy to eat but worth it 100%.

What I ordered the second time: - Beef croissant (had to run it back) - Ham and cheese croissant - Chocolate croissant - Puff pastry dessert All of the croissants were very good but the beef one is still the best. The puff pastry dessert was underwhelming. It was so tough to eat because of the harden caramel and the pastry underneath was also too hard to be enjoyed. We just ate the top pieces and some of the cream and threw out the rest. Service is fine, no notes.

Pretty upscale quality food though, so I guess it is worth it in the end. Inside is pretty spacious with a good amount of seating. There is not too much decor, it was pretty modern in here.

"I don't know if we sell that. Wait here." She goes in the back and returns. "It's baking right now." "Ok. I'll wait, and I'd like chocolate croissant with a cup of coffee please while I wait." Then she puts two plain croissants in a bag and rings them up. Makes no move to pour coffee.
