This is hands down the best tres leches cake I’ve ever had—and honestly, the best dessert I’ve had in my life. I don’t think anything will ever top it. It’s that good.
I bought it for my wife’s birthday last July and somehow forgot where it came from. I spent months tracking the place down and never once considered giving up. After finally finding it again, I can confidently say my memory didn’t exaggerate a thing.
If you look at my other reviews, you’ll see I’m honest and not prone to hype. This cake is simply dialed in perfectly. Maybe it’s just my taste buds—but for me, it’s flawless.

Love that this place closes late and has a variety of sweet treats to choose from (cake, ice cream, cookie, brownie, shakes etc) vs other dessert places typically only offer ice cream. Ordered the strawberry short cake which is big enough to share with someone or to save for later on. It was moist and had strawberry bits. Fudge brownie sundae was pretty standard, nothing special. Still giving 5 stars because my previous visits here have always been pleasant. Parking can be tight during peak time. I usually bring my out of town guests here to check out.

My partner and I used to come here for date nights but we will not be coming back. The girl at the register was very sweet but everything else fell flat. We ordered a warm apple dessert because it was cold outside and although we were dining in, it was given to us in to-go containers and VERY cold. We were never asked if we were taking it to go or if we were dining in so I’m not sure why there was an assumption made but it wasn’t that big of a deal at first. We asked to get it heated up and they took it back to the kitchen but after about 10 minutes, we still hadn’t gotten the dessert back. I went back to the front to ask about it and they called to the back: “can you get that apple Betty from the microwave?” And the kitchen said yes. After another 3-5 minutes or so, they finally brought it back out on a plate. It looked incredibly unappetizing AND WAS STILL COLD. We took the whole dessert back to the front and asked for a refund which they gave us but we definitely will not be back after this experience.

I only need a small cake, but I don’t see my favorite cake on the 6-inch cake list?
We make a limited selection of 6-inch cake flavors, but you can always get slices of any flavor you like!
Why won't you write on my vegan cake?
The chocolate we use to write on cakes is not vegan, so we will not put non-vegan writing or decorations on a vegan dessert.
Will you write on my cake with colored frosting?
No, we only write with white chocolate or milk chocolate.
Will my cake be baked the night before I pick it up?
Custom orders are baked within 1-2 days of pickup. Standard menu items are baked fresh every week and kept at 0 degrees, so they stay at peak freshness until we deliver them to the store.
Will you add fresh fruit to my cake?
We have several desserts that are made with fresh fruit in the batter. We do not decorate our desserts with fresh fruit, however, and our stores do not keep fresh fruit on hand.
How do I store my leftover cake?
Cover it with plastic wrap, covering all the exposed parts. Store leftover cake in the fridge, but keep in mind that some flavors are best at room temperature. The storage and serving instructions for each cake are on our website.
How long is it safe to keep my cake?
If it’s wrapped well with no exposed edges, it will stay in the fridge for up to a week and up to a month in the freezer.
Allergies & Cross Contamination?
Please note that our kitchen is neither nut-free nor gluten-free. Our desserts are not meant for individuals who have severe allergy concerns. Please see our Food Allergy Statement.
In our bakery, ingredients are labeled with possible allergens. However, there is always a risk of cross-contamination. There is also a possibility that manufacturers of the commercial products we use could change the formulation at any time, without notice

Why do I have to pay for a plaque? Why can’t youjust write on my cake?
Our cakes designs are not smooth on top so we cannot write on an uneven surface. We require a purchase of a plaque, so the writing looks beautiful! The recipient has a delicious, personalized piece of white or dark chocolate to take home with them.

Sure, but please give us a call before you make the trip to ensure our truck has arrived with your order.
