La Giralda Bakery — Restaurant in New York

IF YOU ARE A BLACK PERSON — DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AT THIS PLACE.

The short, heavy-set woman behind the counter is blatantly racist. Every time I go there and ask for a slice of dulce de leche cake, she always hits me with the same tired excuse: “We don’t have any.” But here’s the twist—I step outside, pay a Spanish person to go in and ask for the same thing, and magically, the cake appears.

Let that sink in.

She denies service to Black men with a smug little smirk, like she gets a kick out of it. And what they don’t realize is I speak fluent Spanish. So I catch every disrespectful word. I hear the tone switch when they’re serving their own. Sweet, friendly, accommodating. But when it’s us? You can feel the difference. The vibe is cold, dismissive, and judgmental before a word even leaves our mouths.

This woman doesn’t even wait to hear the question before deciding the answer is no. That’s not customer service, that’s discrimination. And here’s the thing: she thinks she’s slick, but I’ve got the receipts. I have the evidence.

It’s 2025 and we still have to deal with this kind of behavior? They should be ashamed. But don’t worry I’m not staying quiet. This is bigger than cake. This is about respect. And I refuse to be silent when racism is being served behind...

Horrible place , extremely small, over priced, breakfast meals are Supposed to come with a free orange juice ( but only those customers that are of the same background as the females that work there get the free juice without asking) I always have to ask for my free juice, a few times the females got my order incorrect ( including a cake order) each time they denied THEIR mistake - the last mistake they made - I ordered 3 things including a coffee (since I don't speak Spanish (but I understand it) one worker translates for the other worker) she clearly tells the other female my 3 items and coffee so that she can ring me up - I pay and leave to my car - in my car I see that I'm missing one of my items - I got back inside and this female tells me that I didn't order that and she didn't charge me for it - I tell her that right in front of me she told the other female my 3 items and coffee so how could I not have ordered it and how could I have not been charged - now the other 2 female workers back her up and at that I'm wrong - NEVER AGAIN WILL I GET...

One of the best bakery I ever been to. I try to grab each morning fresh baked breads with coffee. The bread itself taste amazing and the sweets taste as sweet as it looks. I am sure you won't be disappointed with their food. On the down side the bakery is extremely small for due to the whole COVID requirements and social distancing 6 people in line tops can be inside the bakery the rest would have to continue the line from outside so if you want to avoid such a line I would recommend you go early before other people come or call and make your order so you can just go and...
