I love Ricomini Bakery, don't get me wrong. The service on this Ricomini could be better and specially the walk-in service. I waited 20-30 minutes just to order a grilled cheese and some pastry. The girls in the front were ignoring me at all times. I was almost the only one inside the bakery and still nobody asked me if I wanted to order. A lady came in, stood next to me and one of the girls asked: "Did you ordered?", and immediately started the order of the lady. I was so mad already that I told the girl if she can take my order. She replied that the order station was on the other side. Stood there 2 minutes more for the other girl to take my order. Saw a few customers standing where I was standing, and the girl grabbed all orders. 15 minutes pass and yet no order was made and only one employee, the one that is on drive thru, asked me if everything was ok with my order. I told her that nothing was made. She told me that she knew I was there for a while now. She was so kind to me and made all of the order by herself. And I thank her so much since I'm pregnant and to be honest, tired. The other two girls, one with nose piercing, both young where just doing other personal stuff and talking with other people that were not customers. I felt discriminated on that 1 hour a was inside the bakery and I'm really disappointed on the customer service there.
This as at 2:44 PM non rush hour time...
Read moreIf you're a coffee and traditional Puerto Rican pastry lover, you have to check out this cafe! I visited this place last weekend and I was blown away by the quality of their coffee and traditional pastries.
First off, the coffee was some of the best I've ever had. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly brewed. I could taste the quality in every sip, and I was so impressed by the barista's skill and attention to detail.
But what really took my breath away were the traditional Puerto Rican pastries. They had such a wide variety of sweet and savory options, and each one looked more delicious than the last. I ended up trying a few different pastries and they were all incredible - flaky, buttery, and full of unique Puerto Rican flavors.
The atmosphere of the cafe was also really pleasant, with plenty of seating and a relaxed vibe. The staff were all super friendly and welcoming, and I felt right at home as soon as I walked in the door.
Overall, I can't recommend this cafe highly enough. If you're a coffee and traditional Puerto Rican pastry lover, you absolutely have to try this place out. You won't be...
Read moreI stopped by at lunch to try their sandwiches. The place was empty and the service was excellent and fast. The food, though, was just average, hence the 3 stars.
I got the midnight sandwich and the pastrami with cabbage. The pork on the midnight was clearly leftover and reheated, which I'm fine with, when reheated properly. They should put it in a pan with either cooking juices or mojo and make the pork juicy again. Instead it was very dry and not at all tender. Really a disappointment.
The pastrami was much better, but also very dry. It had cabbage and cheese and I think tomato, but no sauce. I'm glad they used cabbage instead of coleslaw but they needed to replace the sauce of the coleslaw with something else. Thousand island dressing would've been perfect, taking it from a 5 to an 8.
I must say their bakery goods looked fantastic. So keep in mind this review is only for the two sandwiches I ordered. Perhaps I didn't order well, but I did ask for everything on the sandwiches.
Nothing was bad, just nothing was great either. My experience,...
