Manolo’s is truly a hidden gem. My wife and I have been coming here for a while now for baked goods and cakes - their tres leches cakes are the best we’ve ever had. They’re so good, in fact, that we hired Manolo’s to supply the cakes for our wedding. The staff was super easy to work with, they nailed the design we had in mind, and the result was delicious.

Got the tiramisu from here, it is so fresh and flavorful! The service was great and I will definitely be returning.

The assorted cakes are simple amazing and so fresh

This place is amazing! I went in to find a selection of pastries to share with my family to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. The staff was super helpful telling me more about their selection and making suggestions. Can’t wait to go back.

Such a wonderful little bakery! Love the decor and the space to enjoy a special treat. The orange fig gelato is AMAZING! Sweet and helpful staff. The owner is an awesome member of our community who is always helping out in a huge way.

Wonderful experience at Manolos. Went for the cake in support of Ukraine. They let my 3 yo son try his hand at decorating. Super sweet staff and delicious cakes!

Update:Spoke to the owner of the establishment this morning who profusely apologized for the incident. He was shocked at the way his employees acted, offered our money back and offered a free cake from another one of his establishments. We sincerely appreciate the offer and the accountability.First and last time I order from this bakery, I ordered cake with 10 days in advance, I come to pick it up at the agreed time and it's not ready, the arrogant attitude of the pastry chef: Is not ready if she wants to wait fine if not refund the money, wow that's not how you run a business, I had to wait for the cake 15 minutes.to my surprise the cake didn’t lookthe same as agreed.$70 for a cake for 10 people and with that customer service; please do not support businesses of that quality.I’m so disappointed….

The guy on Call was rude, had no patience to listen to me or give me the required information.. I wanted a bday cake and he said come in person and hung up on me ..No way I am going to spend my money on your cake .. NEVER.. I better give the business to someone who appreciates the customer ..

the cheese cakes were hard and old and the cake balls were hard and stuck to the foil

This place has been on my radar for a while so I'm glad we finally stopped by.I didn't know what a lot of things in the pastry case were, but one of the employees was helpful in explaining them.My husband and I ended up getting:- Strawberry Concha- Some kind of passion fruit pastry- Peach Tres Leches- Passion Fruit Tres LechesThe Concha was more of a sweet bread than a pastry to me, but I enjoyed it. I wasn't a big fan of the passion fruit pastry because it was very dry and bready. It wasn't sweet and didn't have a passion fruit flavor.I think the cakes are where they shine. I loved both tres leches that we got, but the passion fruit one really stood out. It had that punch of passion fruit I was looking for.I'd gladly come back to try more!
