The Skinny: the chocolate cake was pretty good, the other stuff was not that great (2), service is exceptional - the owners are eager to help (4), value - was okay, nothing exceptional paid 3.99 for tres leches and 2.99 for a slice of cake. Came here because I heard they sold strawberry tres leches cake. So I meandered over their way. First of all, they do have a deal going on currently where if you buy 2 pieces of the same cake, you get one free. Also, there's currently a discount for ordered cakes. Unfortunately when I went, there wasn't much selection in the bakery case. The lady at the counter was pretty nice and helpful. I ordered a piece of german chocolate cake and strawberry tres leches. After I ordered that, I asked if my purchase qualified for the promotion but the lady said no. Seeing my disappointment, she gave me a free croissant fresh from the oven on my way out. To be honest, I was driven mad by the smell of the croissant - that buttery aroma wafting through car is intoxicating. Problem was, the croissant itself wasn't that good. The croissant, albeit nice and flaky on the outside, was too dense on the inside. This suggests that the dough was not properly made (croissant dough has to be kept cold to retain the integrity of the butter layers to get the flake). I took a look at the tres leches at home and was concerned. There were a bit of fuzzy looking strawberries on top of the tres leches cake. Like as in three pieces of strawberry were looking kind of moldy on top of the cake. Despite this, my hubby and I did try the cake (whatever doesn't kill ya makes you stronger). It was okay - nothing special. The flavour of strawberry came through but the texture was too soggy for us after sitting in the milky topping for too long. Finally, the chocolate cake. The actual cake itself was good. It had a nice texture and tasted like a nice semi-sweet chocolate cake. However, the frosting was not appetizing. I think it's more of a textural issue for me. I found it too thick and gummy for my taste. If only their baked goods were as good as their service, I would be back here in a heartbeat.
