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 just way too sweet for me. I would go here again to try more stuff tho!

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!

Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 – some pastries are much better than others. I can eat 10 of the mini salted caramel tart things if given! Carrot cake is must try with perfect blend of spice for the cake and sweetness from the frosting. It’s a much finer texture than usual which makes it that much more delicious. New York Cheesecake was extremely dense and more sour than expected. Napoleon had flaky pastry and extremely smooth pastry cream.
Ambience: 5/5 – nice and clean decoration. Very comfortable to be at and would loved to have eaten there if we weren’t meeting up with friends.
Service: 3/5 – had to wait around 8 minutes even though there was only one person ahead of us. Two staff was behind the counter but not sure what the other was doing.
Value for price: 4/5 – a bit more pricey but worth it for the yummier pastries

I was really craving cheesecake and I looking forward to trying. I’m surprised the girl who helped me didn’t notice. Makes me believe the cake was sitting there for way too long and is no where near freshly-made. Also, that the attention to detail is minimal…

What a cute shop with all sorts of goodies. The staff is really helpful and friendly. Everything was clean fresh and delicious. We tried the mini pies cream brûlée pumpkin cheesecake bar slice a cookies n cream cake. Would definitely recommend trying some yummy treats.

We visited by mere accident, actually headed just down the street to check out another restaurant but there was a long wait there, we are very happy we ended up coming in here, the food was delicious, the coffee is really good as well, we really enjoyed our visit, almost gave them five stars, but there was just one thing we didn’t like, the fans in the dining area were going full blast and it made it way too cold to be able to seat there, we asked if that could be turned down and they said yes, than other people had already mentioned the same thing, but nothing was done, even at the end of our meal, it was all the same. Our table outside wasn’t even level, the front area is slanted but we had to eat there instead of freezing.
We will come back to try their pastries and cakes, they look amazing.

Good no extremely fantastic either. Cuban inspired place with not only meal options but also it has its own coffee shop & bakery on site. We ordered filled potatoes and then a chicken sandwich. Quite yummy. The crew was super nice and the decorations were ok if that’s your vibe. Fast service , so definitely a place to keep in mind if you don’t have much time. Oh! Outdoor area as well.

Happened by this spot as we were leaving the area. We will definitely be back! Friendly service and plenty of great little treats! This review is only for the bakery goods. We did not have time to sample any of the sandwiches or entree items but we went to come back to try them! We got mini smores, mini fruit tart, mini salted caramel, cookies, and a lemon tart! All the items were delicious!
