Dulce Antojo Panaderia y Pastelería — Restaurant in Belmont

This place is lovely. Please enjoy, don't criticize. I happened in here yesterday, and a grandmother and granddaughter came in, clearly American. The granddaughter understood that you come in and learn the culture difference. The Grandmother came in with all these "suggestions" and she was really insistent on her preferences. Like this business wasn't already a 2nd location, and they had been doing business for quite some time already. Like jeepers lady, just because they are a different culture doesn't mean they are dumb.

Folks, if you can't come in and be polite to the business, please don't open the door. The young lady behind the counter was as accommodating as possible (and spoke proper English), but the grandmother was very vocal about cleanliness and so on. *The bakery clearly meets the sanitary standards of the state, they wouldn't be open if they weren't.

Please be respectful of the vendors, no matter where you go. They don't have to serve...

The Tres Leches (?) cake with the pineapple & coconut filling and light and creamy melt in your mouth frosting/icing was so delicious and so far my favorite. It was what I remembered cake to be. If you like pastries that remind you of homemade and not overly sweet, with sugary frostings and filling, then you will want to try these. And the rolls are so light & fluffly soft but can hold the ingredients of a hearty...

I’m going to start off by saying that I absolutely loved this place, until I stepped in there today 12/27/23 around 2pm, we were looking through the window, wondering if it was open “as usual” no one around, pulled the door and to my surprise it was open, out of no where I here “can I help you”, didn’t see anyone, walked closer to the counter , saying hello, finally I get to the counter, look over it and the , what appears to be a teenage girl sat there in the corner on her phone, never once looking up, I asked a question, she never answered, I proceeded to pick out pastries, bring them to the counter, she acted as if she was angry because I disturbed her, I think I’m going to shop elsewhere from now on. This place wasn’t anything different than what I’ve been to, I just tried to support them because...
