Inside was bright and clean and pink, with cute signs and decorations on all walls. We were immediately greeted and given the spiel since we had never been: cookies with or without frosting, cookie ice cream sandwich with flavors of your choosing, boxes of cookies, or just ice cream. I went with a sprinkle cookie with icing, and it was perfect. I love icing so sweet it makes me shudder, and makes my teeth feel like they are about to fall out, and this hit all those benchmarks. We were told that while the cookies are made in house, the ice cream is not; however, it is made by a local dairy (ice creamery?) and brought in fresh. Go here eat cookies be happy!

Next…read moretime, I'll ask if they can heat mine up or get a fresh one out of the oven and it would be perfect. In my photos I numbered the $25.99 12 mini cookies with 1 being the best and 10 being the worst. I couldn't label the 11th cookie, but just look at the photo. I did order 2 chcolate chip cookies on the left side. I didn't try all of the cookies, but here is my ranking from best to worst: (Best) 1. Red Velvet - the icing is actually delicious 2. Birthday Cake 3. Peanut Butter 4. Pink Strawberry 5. Stuffed Oreo white chocolate 6. Stuffed Oreo milk chocolate 7. Turtle caramel chocolate 8. M&M 9. Sprinkle 10. Chocolate Chip (I ordered 2) 11. Snickerdoodle Overall, if I came back for cookies, only the top 2 were worth ordering. The brownie you should absolutely get. For any other style cookie, Bake N babes (especially chocolate chip) or Indy's cookies are the best you can get around Tampa Bay.

They sell pastries, desserts, breads, sandwiches, and more. It's great that they are close to home. I absolutely love their guava & cheese quesitos. They are so delicious! I'm not usually a fan of this combination, but I love this particular version. Maybe because the cheese filling is sweeter. They also have strawberry and pineapple turnovers. I've only had the pineapple which I haven't seen in this area. It was great! The guava pastries are also a winner. I'd go back many more times just for these items alone. The mallorca wasn't my favorite. It's good, but it's more of a bread consistency than a sweet roll. The cheese and guava on top was very good. It was just too dense in my opinion. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a Puerto Rican gringa whose parents were born on the island. I'm guessing there are two different versions. The version that I know (and my mother loved) is the softer one that is more like a sweet roll. I've also had better ham & cheese mallorca sandwiches. However, I will try their other sandwiches and fritter appetizers for lunch one day. Other than that, everything else I've tried was wonderful. I love that the turnover and pastries are flaky and full of flavor, unlike some other bakeries. They are perfect! I do want to try the donuts and tornillos. I also want to try the breads. There will definitely be more visits, and very soon.

Nice chunks of Reese's throughout. The dessert cup was sooooo good. It is a creamier no bake filling with crust crumbles on the bottom layered with caramel and biscoff cookies. It was very big and filling. Service was quick and friendly. Selection was good for late on a Saturday. Inside is small with a couple tables and a bar in the back.

One of them recently sold their business to Ricopan. That's very sad, because I really loved their guava & cheese quesitos and turnovers. This particular bakery is in a shopping plaza on the corner of Kingsway & Windhorst Rd. I was greeted right away by a very pleasant gentleman. He offered samples of bread pudding. It had good flavor, but the texture was different than what I'm used to. My aunt used to make the best bread pudding. I really need to stop comparing things to what I've had in the past. I decided to get the mallorca with ham & cheese, some pastries, and a café con leche. The coffee was very good. I like that he made it stronger for me. The sandwich had a nice presentation, but there wasn't much filling. They used American cheese instead of a white cheese. Let's just say that it's not my favorite mallorca sandwich in the area. As for the mallorca pastry/bread, it just didn't taste as good as what I've had on the island. I like the sweeter & softer version. However, I do like the tornillos, palmeras, and quesitos. This bakery has a lot of potential. It was somewhat busy on a weekday morning. Hopefully they do well in this area. I really need to go back to try other things like the filled donuts. I did see flan, flancocho, tembleque, and tres leches in the case. I'm just picky when it comes to anything Puerto Rican. Both sides of my family used to make some amazing comida. Please don't let my review discourage you. Try it for yourself.
