The meals are average but the sylvanas and the brazo de mercedes are the best ones I've tasted in my life! Don't have meals here, but take home at least a box of sylvanas or brazo de mercedes. More

I just love their Date and Walnut Daquoise, which is like chocolate sans rival. Of course, this place is known for their sans rival and sylvannas. I prefer their chocolate flavored sans rival and sylvannas but you'll have to order the choco sans rival at least 2 days before. They also have good spaghetti and a good selection of tea... More
