Pair it with a jugo de parcha My boyfriend is from Puerto Rico, and this place brought back so many memories for him. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. They even had their son training, and he was doing a great job! You can tell a lot of the customers are regulars, which made the atmosphere feel warm and welcoming. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in the area! Paramos aquí a desayunar antes de ir a la playa y pedimos un sándwich de salami y queso en pan de agua. Estaba demasiado rico, definitivamente uno de los mejores sándwiches que he probado. Acompáñenlo con un jugo de parcha Mi novio es de Puerto Rico y este lugar le trajo muchísimos recuerdos. El personal fue súper amable y nos hizo sentir como en casa. Incluso tenían a su hijo entrenando y lo estaba haciendo excelente. Se nota que muchos de los clientes son habituales, y eso hizo que el ambiente se sintiera aún más cálido y acogedor. Definitivamente no veo la hora de volver cuando esté por el área.

We…read moregot six baked items, two meals, and two drinks, and there was no way we were finishing everything there. A couple boxes definitely came home with us! I ended up getting the popcorn chicken with their spicy sauce, which was pretty good! The baked items were decent, but my favorite was definitely the coconut lemon bread. I also tried the hibiscus refresher which honestly wasn't my favorite. It had a little bit of a weird aftertaste to me but it may have just been that it wasn't sweetened to my liking. They have a HUGE menu with tons of bakery options, so there's definitely a lot to choose from. The inside is really spacious with plenty of seating and since they're located in a plaza with other businesses so there's plenty of parking. Overall, a fun spot to check out if you want a lot of different options and definitely come hungry because there's A LOT of food!

Somebody finally came out of the back and we ordered one cheesecake and also a cake as well. One thing I noticed right off the bat is at they tasted frozen. They lost a lot of flavor unfortunately and the cake was dry. The cheesecake was okay but again digging in it had a frozen taste.

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.
