Manolo's Bakery — Restaurant in Charlotte

2 years ago, my friend bought me a baby shower cake, we initially wanted a 3 leches cake with fondant and fruit in the middle, but the person helping us explained that 3 leches would not work with fondant because it would fall apart so she suggested for us to get a moist cake with the fondant and fruit... It didn't really go as planned because they ended up calling my friend that they couldn't do it, but we still got the cake and it was delicous! Yesterday I wanted to get a similar cake for my friend's baby shower because she and her husband loved the cake at my baby shower. When I tried to explain the cake to the person helping us, she didn't quite understand what I was talking about so she asked someone else to try and understand what I meant... Well I noticed she asked the same person that helped us 2 years ago, BUT she thought that I was complaining about my cake 2 years earlier.... Ok.... I said, no , I'm asking to get the same cake.. And she just turned around with her hand up in the air.... and the person helping us started to assist the customers behind us..... Not telling us, please wait or anything... At that point we just walked out... I'm very disappointed because that cake was really good! ... I'm currently still looking for a good cake for...

My roommate and I went there for a networking event. It's the second there in a networking event since the owner is very much involved in business networking and politics. The owner has expanded the location. However, the place is moderately spacious to have a gathering of 12-24. Thanks to his recently added space, he was able to have a nicer bread/pastries showroom. I assume that he would have tables and chairs so that customers can sit down and enjoy their favorite(S) whenever there isn't a networking event. As far as food goes, the place had offer catering services for the LACCC event was quite good. They had a variety of food from empanadas (which were gone rather quickly), chorizo, morcilla, arroz con leche, tamales, South American bread (obviously), among other things. I didn't photographed the place nor their food while I was there, but I managed to photograph a small to-go portion I took home from leftovers.
