    ...what WE RECEIVED!!
    Ramon R.

    THEY GAVE US CAKE WITH MOLD!! See the attached pictures. What we wanted VS what we got. Go somewhere else, didn't even taste good.

    1/2 lb. Dominican cake!
    Brendalynne F.

    I got a 1/2 lb. Dominican cake with strawberry filling here for my friend's Superbowl party yesterday, and it tasted delicious! I ordered it on late Saturday afternoon, and it was ready by 10:30am on Sunday. I'm glad they were able to accommodate at such short notice! The employees are really nice too. TIP #1: If you don't speak Spanish and you're calling for a price estimate or to place an order, the first thing you should do is ask for their English-speaking employee because the woman who answers the phone only speaks Spanish. TIP #2: It's *CASH ONLY* but there's an ATM outside if you need one. TIP #3: It's located on the corner of 22nd Ave. and E 32nd St. behind the liquor store. In order to see it, you have to turn onto E 32nd St. My GPS had a hard time finding it when I went to pick up the cake. The street of E 32nd has plenty of potholes too, so be careful and drive slowly onto the street. Pricing: 1/2 lb. of cake is $25 and supposedly feeds 10 people, but it can definitely feed more than 10. I can only imagine how much a full pound can feed! That size (1 lb.) is $40. It might cost extra if you want a design, but I only ordered a plain cake so I wouldn't know.

    Bad hand writing and too simple.
    Gem T.

    We have ordered many cakes here and will now never get a cake here again. I ordered a cake and asked them to make it REALLY pretty however they need to do it. This is how the cake comes out- sloppy handwriting and extremely simple. The complete opposite of what I asked for. We asked them to fix it and they want to charge even more to decorate it nicer when they already gave me a price when I ordered it. Sadly, there were even more cakes there waiting to be picked up with terrible hand writing and so plain.

    I added the candles and Happy Birthday on top but they executed it well and perfectly

    This place is always in demand because they make acceptable, good, and priced well (not estimates they have per pound basis) cakes not perfect though. I told them put everything edible they still do what they want they put a ribbon that when stripped off damages the cake and a lot of icing goes with it. There's always something here and there that can be improved. Customer service so-so. You really have to speak spanish, this is a Dominican cake specialty place and the main baker/owner is like an abuela that prefers speaking in spanish. Lucky if the others are there to help her with the receiving. My first time I went here (last year) there was a girl who helped me. She was brilliant, she even designed the cake that I attached here. But for the second cake well in the beginning I said fondant and she sort of refused so I suggested maybe buttercream? the lady said they don't make that she raised her voice saying "only dominican cakes" so since it was a rushed work I said fine. Then she told me Jamie speaks spanish next time.

    Beautiful Job

    I was very pleased with my overall experience with Mary's Bakery. My sister really wanted a Dominican Cake for her birthday this year, so I googled places around us. Mary's popped up and I gave them a call. Super friendly and helpful. I ordered a 1/2 lb cake which feeds 10+. I also asked for purple writing. The cake looked beautiful! And tasted great!!! There is always the risk of Dominican Cake being too dry, but it was moist and flavorful. Delicious. I would definitely order from here again.

    The cake itself is not good. It was dry and the writing and design was so sloppy. I asked for colors that did not have a bitter aftertaste and I got bitter aftertaste. I asked for candied flowers instead of a bow and i got a bow. The cake was expensive too $30 for 1/2 lb which is the smallest. Everywhere else they sell for $20. Only reason I used this bakery was because the one my family always uses is closed on mondays. Never again

    Thanks for making my cake the way I asked.. Awesome cake !!!! This is my 5th year making  Birthday cake here!!!!!

    Thank you for a beautiful cake!!!! It was done how I asked. This is my 5th year of special cakes order from Mary's Bakery!!!

    Baby shower cake! Love it Love it!! CAKE WAS EXACTLY HOW I WANT IT !! And freshhh
    Jenn G.

    Very very happy with my baby shower cake!! This is the place to go!! I seen my cake on Pinterest and they made it for me. Of course there was some changes but it came out lovely! This is my favorite Dominican cake bakery! The girls do an amazing job.

    I am beyond happy with my order. The cake was the best cake I've had. I order a what it was supposed to be a 1 pound cake, but it looked more like a 2 pound cake. They did my cake just as i had asked, even the colors were the ones i asked for. I strongly recommend this place!!! i order my cake about 2 weeks ago and just placed the order for cake#2

    The inside slice - dulce de leche and pineapple
    Deanna S.

    My sister picked up a cake from here for my birthday. I normally just stick with traditional vanilla but this year I wanted a Dominican Cake. And it was AMAZING!! Moist and delicious. I will definitely get cakes here again.

    The cake Mary's Bakery made for my 29th birthday!! I love their cake its amazing!!

I went here last year around Thanksgiving as I have been a big fan of this bakery for many years. I actually drive almost 30 minutes for treats to bring my family for the holidays. It was busy when I went in and a I waited in line for my turn. Once the man in front of me ordered, and the young blonde girl behind the counter called next, I went to place my order and the man in front of me mistakenly thought he could have her do the rest of his order. I still tried to get her attention, but she refused to even look at me. Here I will note that I look very different from the other patrons in the bakery at the time... take that for what it's worth. The other workers saw this happening, and didnt acknowledge how I was being ignored by this girl. The middle aged woman who works there, who I have bought from for years, then went to help the person after me... what kind of service is that? The crazy thing is the man in front of me even apologized for what he did because he was confused by what was going on, and the middle aged women STILL DID NOT HELP ME. I always thought she was a manager or owner... perhaps she doesn't like people with my skin color. Who knows. Finally, after an upsetting amount of time where I was feeling humiliated, a brown haired girl (with absolutely great eye makeup said she would help me). Good to know one decent person works there. I used to go there regularly when I worked in the area and stopped going as often, but I will never go again and have stopped recommending it to others. For the area, there are plenty of bakeries without people like this blonde girl, who would love to have a diverse group clientele who doesn't look just like them :) Avoid this place if you don't want to be treated like a second class citizen. The way I was treated was disgusting and shameful.
