Panaderia El Rey

I came to this location on accident, but so glad I did! I meant to go to El Rey on Lake St, but must’ve driven right past it and my phone led me to this location instead. Not sure if they are affiliated because the Lake St. Rey had some good reviews on their tres leches cake, and this location was no disappointment either. I ordered a piece of chocolate tres leches and a piece of chocoflan. I used to buy entire tres leches cakes from a restaurant called Babalu in the warehouse district years ago. Babulu has since closed and I have been in search of a similar style tres leches ever since. I prefer a more firm and not soaking wet sponge kind of tres leches. Well I have found my new favorite tres leches in Minnesota. It is in no means a dry tres leches, but if you are a fan of the soaking and super spongy/​borderline soggy kind of tres leches, this is NOT the place you will find that. Mind you I only tried the chocolate version but I will be back soon to try the vanilla and will try to review it when I do. It was priced well too, about $ 3.00.
I wasn’t a fan of the chocoflan unfortunately. It was flan in between two layers of chocolate. The chocolate wasn’t very rich and the flan texture and taste wasn’t to my liking. I prefer a more smooth and cheesecake like flan.
