Merengue was on our list when we were looking for bakeries to do our wedding cake. Lissette was incredibly easy to work with. We came in for a tasting and had our reservation wrapped up the same day. They were also very accommodating when we had to adjust our delivery time to fit our venue's receiving hours. We ended up ordering a 2-tier strawberry shortcake and a matching sheet cake to serve our guests. Delivery to our wedding reception was completed without a hitch and overall just a great experience. Thank you for helping us take some stress out of our wedding planning! Note - we opted to provide our own toppers and flowers for the cake.

Delicious and authentic recipes! Tried most of the items including breakfast and coffees. Everything is Yummy. Top on the list is Meat Pies (Pastel De Carne). Cortadito single shot is insane! Cuban cake has multiple layers of flavors almost like a guessing game. Guava, rum flavor, lemon, cream and extremely soft. Clean place and knowledgeable friendly staff.

The bakery has an amazing display case of sweets & treats! However, things were TOO sweet, in my opinion. For breakfast I got a veggie tortilla española, which was tasty. I got an iced matcha latte too, but it was way too sweet. You could barely taste the matcha. I got a Napoleon cake that looked better than it tasted. IDK what the top layer was? Merengue? It was too sweet for me. And something felt off about the cream? The texture? I also got a lemon tart which is my fav treat, but theirs was just too, too sweet. It was very pretty but there was a lattice layer of icing on top that was unnecessary. Lastly, I got a chocolate croissant & it was perfection! It was the one thing that wasn’t too sweet. If you like very sweet, this is a great place for you. Personally most of the things were j

I had an amazing experience at Merengue Bakery & Cafe, thanks to Christina! She was incredibly kind and attentive throughout our visit. We were a group of three, and not only did she bring our food outside to us with a smile, but she also went out of her way to accommodate a menu change—replacing the banana nachos with a fresh salad without any hassle. Her warm attitude and excellent customer service truly made our day. Christina is a gem, and she represents the heart of great hospitality. Thank you!
