    Mexican sweet bread counter
    Jose Tony P.

    Drove into the parking lot off Madison Ave to finish a phone call. My mom Spotted Mexican bread panaderia displayed on store front window, and asked me to go inside and order some bread. Walked inside and noticed they also offer Mexican hot food items. I ordered tamales and an item seldom offered in Mexican eateries, a chicharron taco. Also a grilled chicken taco and side of beans. When my mom, who is a food critic, not easily pleased, gave a huge gesture of approval, that's saying something! She also gave thumbs up to the texture and flavor of the beans, mentioning the chicharron beats the world famous East LA Lupe's chicharron menu items! Even said the beans are way better than what is served at authentic Mexican restaurants. Service was also excellent! Recommended!

    Sweet Bread

    The bread is still delicious. Especially their cream and raspberry. I used to love their carne asada burritos. Best ever, but this time the ratio of beans to meat was off and the meat was a bit in the salty side.

    Amazing burritos and loving folks here... the Lord is good...

    Do you have only cheese tamales?

    Yes they do but they have a chili pepper in the cheese, if chili not wanted you can come a day before and order special accommodations.

Uncle Fluffy has been on my list for like a gajillion years not even joking. my mother is a cheesecake fanatic.... and also an almond mom. so japanese cheesecake is that woman's dream: lighter, less dense, and less sweet than american cheesecakes (the higher protein content from fluffed egg whites also means u could make ur fellow gymbro into "making up" the calories too) the regular cheesecake was yum and the texture was divine: basically if you imagined a fluffy soufflé pancake and cheesecake had a baby. it didn't wow me though, especially since i love things on the sweeter side and it definitely wasn't. for a tiny $11 dessert, it didn't taste like i was indulging in a dirty little sweet treat. so i'll stick w my dense caloric diabetic cheesecakes from the freezer isle at vons. BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN! my mom ATE THAT UNC UPPPPP. she ADORED the cheesecake. also service was quick and sweet. uncle fluffy def has daddy potential xoxo ;P

    This establishment has been on my radar for years, way before social media had hyped it up, but…read morenever had the chance to make my way over there until yesterday. In practicing self-control, I did a 4 pack cupcake at $21. I picked dulce de leche tres leches, carrot cake, chocolate salted caramel, cookie butter tres leches. They all tasted the way they were described to be. Dulce de leche tres leches was my favorite. Marshmallow fluff in the frosting for the carrot cake was surprisingly addiciting to me. I wanted more of it. Overall, the cakes were moist, and the frosting fluffy, airy and not too sweet (which is a compliment). I love that there's a decent assortment of flavors to choose from. I'll definitely be back again to try more flavors.

    The staff was friendly, service was quick, there was no line or wait time…read more I've been seeing this place on Instagram so much so we decided to try. We drove an hour and a half out to try these cupcakes and I was truly saddened and disappointed with the outcome. The cupcakes are so beautiful, however quality didn't reflect the same thing and I'm so sad to say that. The cupcakes were dry, especially the tres leches cupcakes. We were expecting it to be more moist but it wasn't. All the cupcakes have the same whipped buttercream like frosting, which is unfortunate because that kind of frosting doesn't go with all flavor cakes. The frosting is definitely heavy handed and some had to be tossed because it was just too much. Give them a try for yourself, everyone has different taste. Unfortunately this was not for us.

    5 stars for always being consistent and delicious. I mainly visit on Saturdays for lunch and it…read morecan be busy but the staff is pretty efficient and gets orders out quick. Honestly, the line is mainly due to the customers taking their sweet time while ordering. You might have a hard time finding a table to sit at inside, but they also have outside seating. Price-wise you'll probably spend around $15-$20 per person. I highly recommend their grilled chicken sandwhich. It comes with grilled chicken, lettuce and tomato, all on a toasted sourdough bread covered with pesto and cheese. For the side I typically get the Italian pasta salad, which is always delicious. One thing about this sandwhich is that the chicken will never cover the entire bread and it will never be distributed evenly. So you will always have one half that has less chicken and ends up being part veggie pesto sandwhich, which is still worth it. The other favorite is a turkey club sandwhich on a croissant. It's basic, but also very tasty. They also carry a variety of pastries and serve Klatch coffee (brewed coffee) if you need a sweet treat afterward.

The sticky carmalized bottom and delicious frosting on top was delicious. I also wanted to try their chicken apple sausage and ordered a side. It was decent, I think the baked good was much better though and I'd probably come back to try more pastries and baked goods in the future personally. This is a casual place so you order at the front of the restaurant and then pay in the back. Prices are very reasonable all around across the menu. Plenty of tables but can get busy! Worth checking out if you're in the downtown area.
