They have great fresh bread (cheaper & better than A&P). Italian cookies are also very good. The pastries and cakes are good as well, but most are too sweet for my tastes. The thing that really sets this place apart is the staff. Always very friendly & helpful.
Ordered a tres leches, lobster claw, cannoli type pastry and a cupcake. I should have known something was wrong when the nice counter girl asked me if I wanted my tres leches with pineapple or caramel filling..say what? Tres leches has no filling its milk cake, I know this because I make it at home but I thought what's the harm in trying something a new way.
Came home to find the container with the tres leches had leaked all over the bag. Upon inspection realized they had put the cake and milk sauce in a cracked container and instead of replacing it they just added another container on top. To me that shows such lack of pride in your establishment, do it right the first time, what does a container cost you 25 cents? The fruit on top of the tres leches was gross, strawberry was shriveled up and peach was canned..they weren't going for freshness I suppose..
The cupcake was dry and the frosting was really thick..my 6 year old did not even finish it and she LOVES cupcakes. Lobster claw was inedible, the pictures don't lie. The top of a lobster claw is suppose to be flaky and airy but this one was so hard and rubbery it tasted like it had been sitting on display for at least 12 hours.
I will not be coming here again. I spent $11 on four pastries that eventually ended up in the trash. If this bakery can't do a simple cupcake or tres leches then I would hate to see what their specialty cakes taste like..thanks but no thanks.

Came here right after my meal at Backyard Grill-
I was feeling CUSTARD – _-
– So I Ordered a cappuccino and a creme brulee-
The Creme Brulee was "A-ok" – It lacked presentation –
No crispy top nor a blackberry as a garnish- =(
I am willing to come back and try other goodies.
Maybe I'll go with a Tiramisu………
