Each time I visit here I get a personal visit from the owner Christian to see if my coffee is good. The service and location is great.

La Cuchara de Madera is by far the best bakery I have ever been to. Their products, ranging from brownies to cakes, makes you think twice before you leave the Dominican Republic. "La Piramide", their iconic pastry, to me is god's gift to Earth and if you haven't tried it you are missing out on a revolutionizing experience. I go... More

I went with my husband to check out the desserts. They sell snacks, coffee, and desserts. The snacks we ordered like turnovers, empanadas and cheese balls were served almost cold. They have it pre-made and just heat them in the microwave when you order it. I dont think this method helps with the quality. However the desserts are yummy. We... More

Try The Piramide a la mode. Best dessert in the world. Their passion fruit juice and small burritos are incredible too. In conclusion, everything here is excellent.
