Description

Ordering here often involves navigating a pronounced language barrier, as the staff primarily speak Spanish, which can make detailing custom orders a bit tricky. The cake itself leans toward a dense crumb rather than a light and fluffy sponge. While the decorating is generally well-received, the custom handwriting can sometimes look child-like, and vanilla fillings default to a thick custard. Regulars recommend the pineapple filling and note that the portions are notably large for the price. Expect a straightforward, no-frills environment where you might need to initiate the conversation yourself.
