My grandmother would buy the coffee crunch cake for every birthday event. I grew up with that cake my whole life. I will buy one when I get back to the US

The fact that my family makes sure to stop by and feel comfortable because he can take our order and be amazing in Spanish and English has been great.

The other notables are the honey bowties and the elephant ear cookies.

Peruvian cuisine definitely reflects an Asian influence. Chifa is awesome!

Aside from getting cookies and pastries for Chinese weddings I don't know what is so special about that place.

Their Coffee Crunch Cake use to be good. I tasted it a few years ago, and it was dry. I wonder what happened to his recipe?
