1/1 Ambience; 2/2 Food + Beverages; 1/1 Service; 1/1 Value It was my and my friend's first time trying Uruguayan baked pastries while on a Jackson Heights food crawl, and I imagine it most certainly won't be our last. The bakery is casual, but very lively with a sports bar feel with multiple tvs broadcasting sporting events. The bakery was well lit and clean. Since we were both unfamiliar with Uruguayan cuisine, but we wanted to try authentic desserts, we asked the staff for help in navigating the large variety of beautiful pastries in the display. She was very friendly and helpful, and made some excellent recommendations. Aside from the alfajor, I do not remember the names of the two pastries, one of which was like coconut macaroons with a caramel filling and a second pastry filled with a dulche de leche ribbon and chocolate. Each of the pastries was delicious and fresh. The alfajor was light and airy, and the dulche de leche was sweet and rich-- this was my favorite! I likewise liked the second dulche de leche pastry, but the amount of filling aired on the side of too much. My friend liked the coconut pastry more since he's never been a fan of dulche de leche or caramel. All together, three pastries cost a little more than $4 and they were enough to satisfy our sweet tooths for the evening. The pastries appear small, but they pack a punch. The overall value in this economy is simply fantastic and I cannot wait to come back to try more very soon!

Delicious pastries and always fresh and reasonable prices. Only con, it's only cash and their staff isn't the friendliest but they are quick. Other than that, excellent bakery.

I absolutely love this place. They have the best breads, pastries, sandwiches, and cappuccino! They also have fresh squeezed juices but they're a bit pricey. The interior used to have lots of tables but now it's about one sixth as many due to Covid-19 safety recommendations. They have TV's usually watching the soccer/football (depending on how you prefer to reference it) match. They have tons of sports memorabilia but I'm not sure if some of it is for sale. There's a unisex restroom for customers located near the rear of the space. If you wind up in the farthest nook, you went too far! As soon as you walk in, to the right is the wall and tables and chairs against it. To the left you will find everything worth ogling. I highly recommend trying their cappuccino with some cinnamon. It's delightful. And they have these caramel round sweet treats that pair well with the cappuccino. Every once in a while I'll get their tuna fish sandwich. It is my favorite. They have others with ham, but I don't eat ham so that is off the table for me. The staff are super helpful and friendly. And this is a cash only business so make sure you save your extra bucks for something rich or sweet or fluffy or light. You can't go wrong! Happy eats!

With it's lounge like lighting, it's inviting to a groggy new yorker who hasn't had a morning caffeinated beverage. One day, I walked in on a whim after my friend insisted their coffee was the strongest...that meant I had to try it. It's true. I love their coffee and have had their ham and cheese croissant a number of times. Sooo good and filling. Suffice to say, this is the place to get your sugar fix, and a great place to meet a friend to chat. It's relaxed and enjoyable. I usually get recommendations from people on the line who frequent the location, because I'm not sure what most items are except from what I can determine from just looking at the pastries. They sell fresh breads, cakes, pastries, and quite frankly, it all looks good. Yum!
