Almibar postres, etc. — Restaurant in Baja California

Almibar is a welcome find here in Tijuana. It's an American-style coffeehouse, with plentiful, comfortable seating and games galore. The owner is a gamer with a Star Wars obsession... my kind of guy!

Offerings are fresh and tasty, featuring a variety of cheesecakes (the ChocoRol, based around the classic Mexican treat, was a unique twist). There's also the very hipster bacon-topped donut here, as well as cookies. It's not on the menu, but almond milk is available on request.

Wifi is fast and free (with purchase), and prices are very reasonable. Music was all in English and was mostly happy indie hits. Overall, an enjoyable way to pass...

By the looks of the dessert case ( almost empty!), the place seemed really popular! Luckily we were able to snag a piece of Biscoff Cheesecake and it was DELICIOUS. The pieces are LARGE, definitely enough to share among 2 people. Will definitely be back at an earlier time in the day to try...

The pastries are EXCELLENT and the menu items pretty darn good!! The service could be better but friendly people own/run the place so it's tolerable as it's not a fancy dining location.

Fans just don't cut it. Hasn't stopped me from buying desserts but it has stopped me from staying for coffee and/or...
