"Cubanos were very cheap and good. Their breads were fresh and tasted really good. I didn't have time to order a fresh Dominican cake for my mom so I tried this place for the first time eventhough I was afraid they would taste old, but the price was very affordable so I bought two a tres leche and a pineapple one and they were both really good. My mom loved them. They both tasted fresh as well. They're open 24 hours so this will definitely be my go to spot for Dominican cakes. Also I gave them a 5 but that was based on the full cakes, sandwiches and breads that I bought. I tried the slices from the dessert displays and they were not good at all so I definitely won't be getting desserts from the display. Just full cakes, breads, sandwiches and coffees"

"Random stop on my way to New Jersey. At the stop light the sweet delicious smells wasted into my car. I had to stop and purchase some products. Everything was tasty and not overly sweet. Loved the donuts. Would visit again if on the area. Helpful of you know how to speak Spanish."

"Best bakery ever! My mom placed an order for me for a cake I've been wanting for a very long time. My dad picked it up, but unfortunately he was alone and he didn't realize the cake had tilted in the box while driving back home. I was devastated when I was told the news and even cried. My dad quickly called for another cake and the kind bakers gave us a great discount after hearing what happened. The next day, I was able to get my cake for my party!! This time, some of my family members picked it up together to make sure it was okay. Thank you to everyone who was involved in making my cake and we will definitely get our future cakes made here again!! You all made my 25th birthday amazing because of this beautiful cake!! And it tasted amazing!!"
