Description

Beyond pulling off quick turnarounds like two-tiered cakes in a few hours, the counter keeps a steady rotation of baked goods. Visitors stop in for cappuccinos paired with guava and cheese mini empanaditas or chicken empanadas, which arrive in frequently refreshed batches. The dessert case features decorated red velvet cakes alongside large trays of tres leches, though the latter draws mixed reviews regarding recipe authenticity.
