Don't underestimate this small bakery in the heart of Dyckman street because it's a little piece of heaven on earth. I grew up in this neighborhood as a child and now I drive from my place in Chelsea sometimes to get a cup of their incredibly rich, smooth, and decadent coffee. I have been to so many coffee shops in Manhattan and there is not one that can compare to the coffee being served fresh every MINUTE in this shop.
Now let's talk about their pastries. I pair my extra strenght coffee with either their columbian Pan de Bono, their ham and cheese rolls, or their potatoes balls (rellenos de papa). Their sandwiches aren't extravagant but are absolutely delicious. And if you have not eaten dominican cake, well today is your day. I'm half Italian and I have to say we have nothing on island style bizcocho! My favoritas will always be tres leche (3 milks) and bizcocho de Guayana (dominical cake with guava filling) 😍.
For those moving into the neighborhood, this will be your one of your favorite stop in place on a daily basis. Please be patient since there is always a small crowd but so worth the wait. Oh how I wish I was closer. Coffee is the essence of my life!
To the bakery owner, thank you for serving our community and for keeping us moms alive with...

They stole $ 7 from me and hope people read this review so the don't steal from anyone else. They are horrible and I am reporting them to the health department for selling spoiled food. They should be...
Read moreI went there with so much excitement since I wanted some bizcocho dominicano. I ended up getting suspiro, coco cubano, bizcocho and chocolate donut since everything look good. When I got home home the cake was SPOILED. I couldn’t believe I spitted it out and gave them the benefit of the doubt. Then I tried the suspiro and IT WAS SPOILED TOO! After than I just threw everything else in the garbage I didn’t want to get intoxicated nor my family. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE NOR TAKING A CHANCE WITH...
