One product they talk about is the best is the Monolitos , not something special...

They came with a spilled moca all over the bag, and the croissant box was destroyed. The mistake was from Manolo Bakes since the iced moca was not closed and the top was not firmed. It is a shame since the quality was always good but with this service they managed to give a bad name to...
