Delicious cupcakes that my kids say taste like magic and like you are licking a rainbow. The parents love the hut outside to eat the deliciousness out of the elements. Highly recommend.

Simply the best! Always super friendly. The delicious smell inside is an experience on its own.
Favorite cupcakes: Scarlet Velvet, Vanilla Extrovert, Carrot Cake, Crème Brûlée, Chocolate Supreme.

Cute little bakery with Latin influence. They do have an outdoor structure if you want to enjoy your pastries there. We stopped in on a Sunday late afternoon to take some desserts to go - we ordered the passion fruit cheesecake and tres leches cake. The cheesecake was interesting, passion fruit flavor was strong and pretty tart. I’m not sure if I’d order this one again but it’s worth trying. The tres leches cake was good, definitely dense and very boozy!

The cupcakes are not too sweet but flavorful. What was really impressive was the pistachio cardomom flan. I wished I got a second one.

I passed by this bakery to kill time when I was getting an oil change for my car a year ago and stopped by to get a cupcake and oh my. I did not feel one bit bad about eating that whole cupcake - it was sooo moist and so filling, but not in a heavy way where you feel gross afterwards. When my original wedding cake vendor fell through, they recommended Huascar and clearly this was meant to be. The cake they made was STUPID GORGEOUS - exactly what we wanted and it was soooo good. There were no leftovers (except for our top tier which we are attempting to be patiently waiting to devour). Usually at weddings, there are complaints of wedding cakes being too dry or plain but EVERYBODY was trying to go back for seconds for the Nutty Fella and Scarlet Velvet.
Thank you for making our June 2022 wedding incredibly tasty - couples looking to get your wedding cakes - look no further. They got your back.

Super cute bakery, stopped to get some drinks and dessert. Friendly staff. Amid the collections of delis around the area, this is a welcoming sight.

IMO, best chocolate chip cookie in NYC. Why? Because it’s always optimal to eat, regardless if it’s cold or warm. The chocolate chip to cookie ratio is also prime.

If you plan on ordering from this place- DO NOT order from Heather. She has the nastiest attitude. I have my sons birthday coming up & I had asked her to make him his cake for his birthday & she declined my request for whatever reason & gave me a nasty response. She is rude and unprofessional & I won't be ordering from this place if I have to deal with her.

I never thought I'd much care for banana, but the banana pudding/mousse was truly phenomenal. I simply couldnt stop eating it. I wish it was a little less sweet, but I still give it 10/10. Highly recommended.

Tucked out of the way but worth the walk for a beautifully decorated little bake shop with a lovely covered outdoor cafe area. Delicious options for us gluten-free people (maybe it’s good this takes some walking!). I had an English breakfast tea, GF mocha cupcake, and snapped a selfie by the gorgeously hand painted floral wall. A hidden gem!

Really friendly staff, but the $6 hot chocolate was a little bit watery and more bland than I had hoped. However, I’m sure their deserts are great!

Amazing cupcakes, great flavor and texture. Classic as well as inventive flavors. Their alfahores are some of the best I've had as well. I have not tried their drinks but will grab something next time:)

Super delicious bakery! I got a funfetti cupcake which was St. Patty's Day decorated at the time. All the cupcakes there are very tempting and it's difficult to choose from all of the great flavors. In addition to the cupcakes, I LOVED the alfajores! A soft shortbread cookie with soft caramel in the middle, and then covered with just the right amount of coconut flakes. It's find to hard these in NYC and since they came individually packaged, I bought a few to give as gifts! Tiramisu was great as well, but I really regret not getting their dulce de leche cake, which is their signature dessert. So silly of me to miss out, so I'll be back to try it.

I paid for a neopolitan and 2 other items online (non alcoholic). When I went to pick up they told me neopolitan was not available I read the sign board and asked for a Tres leches, i didn't know it had spiked written with it which means it has alcohol in it (im a practicing muslim, ive never had alcohol ever or know much about it). I took the first bite and the taste was so bitter. I called them and told them that there is something wrong with the tres leches. I asked if I can get it exchanged for a creme brule. I was told I can come back and I did, and when inside the store was told I will neither get an exchange nor a refund, which I didn't even ask for initially. I explained my situation and was told that the manager told the lady to tell me that nothing can be done. I asked to speak to the manager. I explained to him that I paid for the neopolitan and its unavailability wasn't mentioned on the website so I ended up with a bitter dessert with alcohol which I am forbidden to intake because of my religion. The manager was on the phone. He kept yelling at me and telling me that I was wrong, I should have known what spiked means. He yelled at me and told me its all my fault and a spoon of alcohol wont kill me. Then he hung up the phone telling me I can get the refund.
It was such a horrible experience. We were to Manhattan all the way from Long Island to enjoy ourselves and this totally spoiled our mood, faith and trip. The lady at the front was nice which is probably why the rating of this place is good.
The manager is a horrible person who dosent care about people and their dietary restrictions. I bet if he ran the front desk ppl even wont come here!

I stopped by on my way home from an appt and this little shop brightened up my whole day. They had a selection of gluten free treats which were delicious and the best I’ve had in the city so far. Hope to come back soon and try some more items!

OMG I had to write this review right after I inhaled the coquito cupcake and spiced tres leches. I wasn't planning on eating more than one treat but my mouth had other plans. That coquito flavor was perfect! It wasn't too sweet. I loved the texture of the cupcake too! It didn't fall apart even though it was soaked in coquito. Their spiced tre leches was fantastic as well. I NEED to return. I wish I had photos but all I have are empty containers.
