***BEST TRES LECHE CAKE EVER*** I was looking for a last minute tree leches cake and found this amazing spot. The lady that owns its is the sweetest lady. Very customer service oriented. Was hesitate about trying a new place especially, for a tres Leches cake. Happy I stopped in because this was the BEST cake over ever had. Best place for tres leche. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Stopped by because I live in the neighborhood and go to dollheads salon a couple doors down. I grabbed a chocolate tres leches cake because I had a friend's birthday the next day and the cake was a total hit. It was my first time shopping and I will definitely be back! The woman who helped me was very kind as well! Great experience overall

  • Victoria Ocholla

Best Tres Leches cake I've ever had! So moist and flavorful. I have since ordered a large cake for a friend and have spread the word about this place. They have lots of yummy looking pastries and baked goods. Look forward to trying some in the coming months and of course some more Tres Leches for yesars to come. …

A great Mexican bakery to grab a doughnut, some breakfast pastries, or some french bread. We always like to grab food items from here after grabbing a coffee at Damn Fine Coffee a couple blocks away. It's a great one two punch. Come in the morning to smell the fresh bread and feel the warmth from their ovens heating the store!

  • Nick Hobart

Great Tres Leches cake! At $2.50/slice how can you go wrong? The rest of the bakery items we've tried have been tasty as well. Nothing out of this world but still - great food for a great price. Not sure how much English they speak there but thankfully my Spanish is good enough to get by. $5 minimum for credit cards.

This is my favorite bakery to go to in the morning for bread. Their bread is always so fresh. 3 leches cake is so good. I was impressed by how good my cake looked. My husband showed him a picture of the cake design I wanted, he did an excellent job cake looked amazing and tasted delicious.

  • Raquel Ruiz

Such a nice clean shop! So fresh! The empanadas are to die for! I had the pina one and the authenticity was spot on! You definitely get what you pay for. The chocolate was super rich and all the bread was super flaky and fresh. Definitely going back …

Felling gross out about that place finding like a piece of string of clothes cloth? I don't know ,but I almost take a bite from that while eating the concha, I had to throw away all my pan dulce bag because of that so gross, …

Been going here for years and the quality has always been the best. Delicious bread and sweets for a very low price. Clean, well lit interior and accessible hours. Ordered a custom cake (tres leches), would highly recommend.

  • Alicia Flores

Usually this place is really good, it’s one of the best local bakeries around. So I am very disappointed to find that the donut I bought was raw and unbaked. Had I not split it open before eating it could’ve gone bad.

  • Alma Rivera

13 years of goodness love the coffee and fresh bread on daily basis. French bread is great for subs and delicious stuffed bread with ham and cheese with jalapeño slices at counter top are so yummy.

  • Juan Carrero

I gave it only 3 not because it's bad but because it doesn't stay soft 24 hours later get what you're going to consume because as I said next day kind of hard but same day great.

  • Trina Allen

Called for a cake order, the man who answered Clearly stated he didn't speak English and hung up the phone. Rude as hell! Didn't even wait for me to respond.

  • Millie B

1st time visit. So far so good. Didn't want to start with too many stars allowing me to raise it after a few more tries. Options are very limited, though.

  • Dana Moran

Eating a fresh banana nut muffin as we speak! It’s light and airy, not heavy like so many muffins are. And at only $1.50 you can’t beat the price!!

  • Jesus C

3 leches cake was delicious and on point. Would go back for another one

  • Angela Viator

Their take on a Boston Cream donut is my favorite …
