I was fortunate to be working in the area on a film and happened across her bakery. It was kismet . Not only was everything beyond delicious ! I say everything because once I tried one thing.. I had to keep trying more. The owner/baker was just as sweet and generous steered me toward amazing delicious treats. As I said to her, I only wish she was in Manhatten so I could go there daily. read more

I haven't tried many things from here since everything I come I get the same thing. The beef pastelitos, they are amazing. They are your perfect combination of puff pastry and beef. A really good friend put me on to them since she has brought them to several events and they are always a big hit. read more

The service and the food is very delicious, it's as if I'm in an Ecuadorian restaurant back in my home town, Cuenca. Words cannot describe how good the food was, the bread to the Colada morada to the cleanliness it was all on point, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. It has blown me to pieces and the owners are magnificent at their jobs and I only got good vibes and energy here. Felt very welcomed and very pleased with this bakery, Amen. read more

Mama Leti's Cafe - Bread - Bakeries Near Me - Corona, New York

See all

I came with my boyfriend to have the lunch special. The food was well prepared. Soups were flavorful but needed to be hot, they were warm, still they were tasty. The ambiance was good, but music a bit too loud. We order hot Morocho ( and server put plastic. Spoon inside) please do not give plastic spoon with hot drinks since is toxic! Plus is terrible for the environment. Make sure to order bread, it's very fresh and tasty! read more

Mama Leti's is a breath of fresh air on Junction Blvd. In an area that is up to it's neck in Spanish restaurants of all varieties, Mama Leti's offers up a little something extra. You can find lots of good food in the area, but just TRY to find yourself some ambiance. It's near impossible! Mama Leti's is an exception. This is a retaurant/bakery. When you walk in, you're greeted with the sweet smelling aroma of their fresh baked goodies. Walk in further, and you'll find a small seating area. Recently remodeled, I think the best word to describe this place is darling. Too cute, very clean and a pleasant change from the places nearby. I ordered the media noche and it was greasy deliciousness. Ham, mortadella, pernil, melted swiss and pickles on a soft, sweet roll. Really authentic, and very filling. I'm still dreaming about it, and I'll be ordering it again when I return. I also had a chicken empanada. The filling was great, but the shell was too hard. Skip it, you can find better empanadas nearby at any number of places. I also fell in love with their homemade hot sauce, mixed with cilantro and served in a tiny dish. If it had been bottled, I would've stolen it and brought it home! My Mom had the oxtail soup, which came in a generous portion and she finished every last bite. She also had the churrasco, which we intended to share. I was too full to have more than a few bites. That one plate alone would have been MORE THAN ENOUGH for one person. The steak, of course, isn't exactly USDA prime meat. But, it's tasty and they work wonders with it. It's a poor man's steak, pounded thin and served with rice, eggs, fries and salad. At $12, it's a steal and also, the most popular thing on their menu. Grabbed a tres leches to go, and it didn't disappoint. I had low expectations for Mama Let's, but it was far better than I thought. I'll be back again for another media noche. read more

Mama Leti's is one of the nicer looking Ecuadorian restaurants in the community. It is small with just a few several tables. Their menu is simple "little of everything". I love their mote pillo with carne asada which is always well seasoned. Their food overall is good, but not to die for. Overall pretty positive EXCEPT the waitstaff. The owners should really try to hire people who LIKE to help customers and not ignore them. They are getting paid to help us spend our money there. I have received incorrect take-out orders despite me repeating it to them several times. i felt horrible when I wanted to treat my mother for breakfast there and we were completely ignored for the first 15 minutes when we were sitting right in front of them, I had to get up to get my own menu. Decent food and place would be truly wonderful if they had better service. I believe dining out or even take-out should be a wonderful experience full of great flavors and a thank you and a smile. read more

By the way the manager is so rude. read more

I am falling in love with Corona restaurants and bakeries. One reason due to Mama Leti's. Although I just came here for dessert and coffee, i was very impressed with the pastries made here. Came out was a fresh cheese phyllo dough pastry which was to die for. Fresh or not this I am sure it would be just as good. Coffee is good as well. After reviewing the menu I would definitely come back for their lunch/dinner options. read more

Mama Leti's Cafe - the interior of the restaurant - Bakeries Near Me - Corona, New York

I really like their food. Really good Ecuadorian food. However the service is bad. The women that work there are mean and rude to their customers. They are not friendly at all. I was there today 9/7/2020 because I like their PAN con Nata, they do not greeting you, they ask "what do you want" not cordially. I asked for 4 things and she kept rolling her eyes. The music is so loud it feels like walking into a cantina. Please if you are the owner, make some changes, you need better lighting, clean up and hire friendly staff. I am always looking for a good place to invite my colleagues so please make an effort to represent the Ecuadorian community better. About the music, you can always alternate or use Spotify. Thank you read more

I'm not always a big fan of typical bakery style Hispanic desserts and pastries. Across various bakeries in New York, most of the breads and pastries that they sell are dry and bland. I'm not sure if they are meant to be eaten dipped in coffee, because that would make sense why they are so dry. Here they have the typical dry, bland pastries, but they also have a few awesome ones! My absolute favorite thing here sort of like a cream filled donut. Its essentially a soft donut sandwich with a cream layer in the middle, sort of like a Boston cream, in fact there is one that has chocolate on the outside, but I LOVE the sugared one. It tastes like a soft churro filled with pudding! Yum! I really enjoy the cheesecake here too.(The triangle pastries in the shelves, not the round cheesecake in the display case) It's denser and less sweet and creamy compared to American cheesecake. It's a great option for people who don't love super sweet desserts. I do love super sweet desserts and my favorite way to eat the cheesecake from here is to drizzle on some Coronado Cajeta (goats milk caramel). The tres leches from here is delicious, but it seems like several people have had issues with ordering it for parties, so maybe stick to buying it directly. The typical Guayaba (guava) pastries are just ok. Just remember, if it looks dry, it probably is. The cakes haven't looked appealing enough for me to get. Go for those delicious pudding cream filled pastries and the cheesecake! read more

I wish I lived closer. We parked right in front of the 99cents store and saw this bakery right next to it and got some stuff. We got enormous toasted croissant, coffee and sometime of coffee with chocolate,it was quite good but I wish it had been hot as I would have enjoyed it more. Def. gonna stop by here if I am in the neighborhood. read more

Chocolate is good. But having to wait to use the restroom for more than half an hour for a young child is unnecessary. Even spoke to the owner in a polite way but even he was not helpful. If I eat there I expect to be able to Use the bathroom. I guess having chocolate is not enough to make me go there. read more

Money down the drain!!! Liers. Instead 3 leches would be 3 suns cake so dry. . They took my money also ruin my celebration. Bought for 50 people size rectangle 3 milk cake w strawberry and got a sand-cardboard box crumbly square/pinneaple filling instead. NOTHING that I asked for barely for 30 people. So dry that you could bread a chicken with it. Im not sure if it was edible at all!!! Called to complaint and they said that they dont know what happened and they will call me back wich never did. After more calls on Thursday they told me that humans make mistakes and they will give m a 20 % off in future orders and that would make m happy. I said why should I ordered again and he said that they DESERVE a second oportunity. I cannot do another party and how can I trust them when their picture of 3 leches cakes has running liquid and my cake was complety dry. They robbed me, they ruin my party and not apology at all. They will give whatever they want and take away your money and ruin your celebration getting away with it if you buy for them. read more

If you're looking to make a quick stop to pick up coffee this is a great place. Great tasting coffee and even better croissants. However service, at least for dining in, was disappointing. Had to ask the waitress for the simplest things like utensils, and got a dirty look. Asked for water more than once and was ignored. Otherwise, the food was okay. Ordered the Chaulaflan, wasn't bad but not something I would want to have again, a bit too greasy. read more

April 2012 Bride We did a lot of research to find the best Dominican Wedding Cake in NYC. Mama Leti's Cafe fulfilled all of their promises to us. Delivery was on time. Cake was delicious and guests are still raving about it. They promised certain fillings, which one they did not have, but they came through and found it!! The design was excellent (exactly what we had requested) and the colors perfect. Service was excellent. They really made sure we were comfortable with them. It could not have been better! Looking for a beautiful, priced right wedding cake, you will not go wrong. Thank you so much Mama Leti's Cafe for making our cake a hit!! read more

This is an Ecuadorian restaurant. They serve Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner and also has a full array of pastries, made to order cakes, yummy desserts. breads & cookies. The place is immaculate clean, nicely decorated, festive Spanish music on the background. The tables are very distinct in a way because the coffee beans and legumes were enclosed in the glass and you can see though it. Very nice conversational piece. The servers were both very polite and pleasant . I had a bowl of Bola Soup which is oxtail, yuca, corn and a round ball of ground beef w/ raisins, fresh cilantro served w/ rice and hot sauce. Very filling .....My daughter Camille had an Empanada, Media Noche which is a sandwich made of Pernil slices, ham, cheese and we shared a Churrasco which is a plate of rice w/ avocado, red onions, tomatoes & ;lettuce, 2 eggs, and a huge steak w/ sauteed peppers & onions. I was also eyeing the tripe but I have to pass. So full there was no more place for desserts. We just ordered the Tres Leches to go. A very affordable place. For everything that we had came up to $29.50. Also they didn't charge tax. read more

Me and my mom were excited to eat in here the place seemed so cute to eat in. We were wrong, we didn't get a nice table to eat in, so dirty and sticky. I try to ignore the fact that we were not getting good service and was excited to enjoy my food. I FOUND A ROACH IN MY CHICKEN SOUP. It was floating in my soup like if it was nothing. NEVER going back . Disgusting !!! read more

bad service, it is very slow I always spend to buy coffee but the girls are very slow, sometimes one is behind and a row of people in front e waiting for them to attend and nobody does it, before the service was fast but now it has become slow, you give one thing for another of finitivamente no longer pass because one goes compressed and take too much. read more
