Five stars doesn't even come close to describing this wonderful bakery experience…read more I am from a large family who love to gather over food and fun. The first time we had a cake from Creme de la Cocoa, it was lemon blueberry for my Mom's birthday. From then on, "good enough" wouldn't do. The cakes from this boutique bakery are exquisite works of art that taste absolutely divine. We've had vanilla cake with white chocolate between the layers and fresh strawberries for Easter, exquisitely decorated with whipped cream frosting and fresh spring flowers, a birthday cake for my mother that said HAPPY BIRTHDAY HURRICANE PEGGY with a hurricane and warning markers bc her birthday is the first day of hurricane season that was Florida Native, featuring summer fruits and orange zest in the frosting, and the latest for Labor Day that will be a classic carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and Fall decor that will say HAPPY FALL, Y'ALL! We've had their French macarons in every color and flavor, their charcuterie box for my husband's birthday which featured sweets of every kind in white and dark chocolate, and their homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast. All were exceptional tasting and beautiful in their artistry. Creme de la Cocoa is where perfection in design and flavor are an every day adventure. And the customer comes second only to the quality of their decadent delights.

My bf and I stopped at Crème de la Cocoa for an after lunch snack. It was highly rated and I'm so…read moreglad we did!! We each ordered a Chocolate Chip cookie sandwiched with chocolate buttercream, along with a chocolate and praline cake that we split. Everything was delicious! I loved both desserts! The chocolate and praline cake was definitely the winner. The place itself is lovely and has a beautiful atmosphere, making it a nice spot to stop in for something sweet. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the service. It was average, and for me, personality and a warm greeting really make a difference in the overall experience. The desserts were wonderful, but I would have loved a little more warmth and friendliness from the staff!

We stopped by one day to grab a couple glasses of Prosecco and sit outside…read more It was empty and the two girls behind the counter seemed very confused in general. I ordered two glasses of Prosecco and she informs me that they are out of Prosecco. What!? I then order a can of IPA and a glass of white wine for my gf, which took way too long to get. Plus my beer wasn't even that cold and her wine wasn't good either. I asked about the cheese tray + wine and she looked confused. I asked her what cheeses came on it and she said she didn't know, but she'd find out, but never did. lol. I came here prepared to buy a bottle of Prosecco and a cheese tray to sit outside and enjoy with my gf but that didn't happen. If you are working at a place you should know the couple things that you do serve and know them very well. There also wasn't any clean glasses for the spa water. The deserts did look good but god forbid I asked either of them a question about them because they would have looked at me befuddled. I highly doubt I'll ever come back here again. Good luck with your questions and selections.

The cake pop was really the only item that drew praise from my crew. Breakfast croissants were "mid" per my teens... I now know what an overdone eggs tastes like. The "pancakes" were thick and more of a biscuit like consistency. Next time, will likely stick to the pastries in the window.

I ordered a spinach and cheese empanada and it was very flavorful and my son got a piece of flon, which was a new experience for him. Although he didn't care for it, I did eat it the rest and i thought it was pretty good! Glad we stopped by but wish we had come here first!

Walking around Saint Augustine on a busy spring break March day we stopped by the Cuban Cafe for…read morelunch. Lots of people, very popular, no inside seating but we did snag an outdoor table. The ordering process seemed chaotic but I ordered two Cuban sandwiches and a Cafe Con Leche for lunch. Told the wait would be 15 minutes, we sat outside in the meantime. After 25 minutes and no sandwiches, I inquired inside as to the status - finally, five minutes later the sandwiches were ready. However, no Cafe Con Leche . Again went inside, waited for the front desk server to process several orders before I could ask about the status of the drink. Nothing had been made, so another five minutes for the drink order. By this time I was plenty hungry, and was disappointed with the Cuban sandwich. It's basically a toasted ham sandwich, nothing particularly unique about it. Given the hassles just getting the meal entailed, not a great experience.

Back story- my four year old son is staying/vacationing with my parents, his grandparents, for a few weeks this summer and when their journey took them to a friends house in East Moriches this week I really wanted to send him a special treat to remind him how much me and his father love him! Google searching lead me to Cynthia and I sent a message to her through her website. She answered almost immediately and made my wish to send my son cupcakes a reality. And it was so simple and sweet! She personally delivered the cupcakes just an hour or so ago and he ate two while skyping with me. He said they are delicious! Again, I am completely happy with this experience and I highly recommend Cynthia's to you!

The ambiance is quaint and humble with display cases and everything was meticulously labeled with prices and flavors. We will definitely be back to try more baked goods and you should stop in and support this business!!

Their cheesecakes "may be"heavenly, but their service is some of the worst I've ever had anywhere…read moreI've ever gone. I ordered a cheesecake to go and it took so long. I told the manager I was going next-door to check out Kyle's Seaford highly recommended when I came back he had put the cheesecake back in the case? He told me he thought I wasn't coming back? So as they were getting ready to box up my cheesecake, I asked the attendant if you would please cut the cheesecake for me. What I thought was a simple request turned into a huge problem as he told me NO then another woman behind the counter said they don't do it because maybe they wouldn't cut the pieces all exactly equally I told her I don't care if they're equal I just simply wanted the cheesecake cut again they refused? At this I was so upset I said keep your cheesecake and left.
