I generally never leave reviews let alone bad reviews.. but I had to this time, I just bought 2 caramel flan from this small business.. the lady at the counter had some kinda attitude which was pretty weird. I asked for a bag to carry the food, (because I was carrying a lot of stuff already and 2 containers of flan without a bag wasn’t ideal, also just FYI I did leave a tip because of the sentiments of supporting small businesses) the first time she said we don’t give take out bags for small purchases .. which is pretty weird, if not giving take out bags are your way of cost cutting get plastic bags I guess.. but whatever then I showed her all the stuff I was carrying in my hand already, she proceeds to roll her eyes and give me a bag…

Sub par overpriced food, $7-14 for an oily pastel, I will not be returning. $59 for 5 pastels left a bad taste...
