Authentic, delicious pastries that are handmade in a small family business.

The place is small but the pan duce tastes good. Also it's cash only.

At first glance, it was a little intimidating walking into a new place and not knowing what any of the pastries are or how to pick them up. I asked for assistance and the staff was very friendly in assisting me. I was able to understand how everything works and once we got our tray, the party started. My girlfriend and I grabbed a total of 4 pastries and when it came time to pay, we had only spent $6 Cash!!!So, the question arises on why 4 star and not 5…. Personally, I felt the place could use some TLC. Stuff was everywhere and it was a little cramped. I won’t hold this against them as it was still early in the morning and the other reason was none of the pastries had labels identifying them. They had signs everywhere and it was a little confusing. It would’ve been nice to have some signs in English.With all that being said, I highly recommend giving this place a shot and trying some of the delicious fresh baked goods. Bring in $10 and grab a few fun and unique things.
