Capri Bakery Corp

Yesterday was my first time and my last The two Mexican ladies was so rude how you talk about the customer in Spanish.

I don’t believe!!! The owner still for me 55 $ I pay in cash and the owner not give me the cake and the many !!!

In the center of East Harlem
You’ll find this bakery full of culture variety treats.
The bakery has been here for a a while. Is convenient and the only spot with so much to offer from coffee, cakes,
sandwiches, donuts, bread, etc .
The cakes are good notting out of the ordinary. Good for special occasions but you have to make sure to be on top of them. The staff is some what efficient when taking orders, I got a orange juice instead of the passion fruit juice, so upset when I paid $ 3 dollars for it.
The rice pudding and the fruit cakes are really good if you lucky to get them fresh. The cheese cake is always pretty good. The spot hit the spot when you looking for some cravings with out having to spend a fortune. Overall not bad that’s where my 3 stars come from. Oh yeah.

I want to say they hit this one out of the park. They made my Birthday cake for me and it was excellent… They exactly what I wanted. The cake was nice and moist it was to die for.

Very good pan tostado (toasted butter bread) as well as tasty café con leche. I’ld like to try the flan and/​or the tres leche cake next time around since many of the reviews on here claim that these two are superb.

Their sugar donut is the best in the neighborhood and my friends and coworkers loves them. The bread (pan) is nice and soft with a little sweetness, great with jamón y huevo con queso or just by itself. Ordered a cake with guava and it was a hit at my son’s birthday party.
Tried a few other baked goods, some are good and some are not so good. Stick to the donuts, pan and the birthday cakes you can’t go wrong.
I’ve always had a good experience here and sometimes there are long lines but worth the wait.

I never been to this place so I’m a bit nervous. I heading there tomorrow (sunday) need a tres leches cake for my sister’s baby shower. Hope all goes well. I will definitely get back to you all. Hope they are not rude like I’ve been reading. If anybody know of other places please share.

For the second time in a row I’ve commissioned Capri to make my grandbaby’s birthday cake. It was wonderful again. The last cake was particularly nice b/​c they only had a week to make it. The fondant was delicious, the design was custom (they did everything right), and the cake inside was also fantastic. Bravo to this local bakery!!! The price was very reasonable as well. I highly recommend them.

Been here twice recently.
The Elephant ears were good but a little too sticky/​syrupy.
The Flan was good but heavy.
Last night went and picked up a red velvet cake. It was dry and overall very mediocre. I expected more from this place as it is always packed.

The two short ladies that are Mexican don’t know nothing about customer service they are disrespectful and always with an attitude and they talk among each other about the customers. They take your order yelling and trying to get smart this bakery needs better people to take orders !!

I like the cakes (specially 3 leches) but it takes forever just to order one doughnut (let’s understand that the space inside is very small). It is affordable and good overall.

I’ve always remembered ordering their pan caliente ever since I was a little girl. Definitely good stuff! As for their pastries, I would say go elsewhere. Came here tonight and ordered a churro, pound cake, and un postre de queso which were all pretty hard and bland with the exception of the cake. I specifically came in here for majarete but they said they did not sell that. Bummer. Anyhow the hot bread is really good here and that’s about all I can speak for.

Some of the best coffee I have ever had! The only reason I give it four stars is that I find the staff a little intimidating and rude in moments. Also, the way the place is built, it is difficult in moments to find where one line ends and the other begins. I like their Tres Leches cake, but the rest of the pastries are a little on the dull side; however, as I said, go for the coffee!

Worst experience in life. Rude service. Leaving emptyhanded. Tried to order a confirmation cake in English, then in Spanish and staff still couldnt get it right. Raised voice at a customer. Two other customers ordering cakes w/​o sucess bc their cakes can’t be customized according to staff despite sign. Also no English speaker on staff and they didnt speak spanish. Want cake other than vanilla? That’s $ 10 more. Want strawberry filling? Clerk prefers peach so she wont write it down. Headed to Make My Cake instead. First time in and I won’t be back.

Son las 6: 30am del Lunes 25 de marzo. Hoy, como todos los lunes, fui a comprar unos bagels que normalmente cuestan .75 centavos, excepto que la mujer (dominicana) me cobro 1 dollar por cada uno! Amablemente le recordé que el precio era de .75 centavos y me dijo que «tostados cuestan más». Siempre he comprado mis bagels simples y tostados ahí mismo por .75 centavos. La mujer, tampoco registró la compra en la caja registradora y dejó el dinero fuera de ella. Eso se llama robo, señoras y señores!
It’s 6:30am on Monday, March 25^th. Today, as every Monday, I went to get a few bagels which I know cost .75 cents a piece. This time, the (Dominican) woman charged 1 dollar each. I kindly reminded her of the right price and she excused herself saying «if I toast them, they’ll be 1 dollar». I have always bought my bagels plain and toasted there for .75 cents a piece. I also noticed that she didn’t register the purchase and left the money I gave her on top of the cash register. Ladies & Gentlemen, that’s stealing form everyone!

The good: I ordered a 15″ tres leches for pick up on Thanksgiving morning. The cake was ready, fresh, and very tasty. It was moist, the fruit on top was high quality, and our guests loved it. Very filling and even heavy. Not super cheap (around $ 30) but definitely worth it — it fed the whole party.
The bad: The place has a tiny customer area, which gets jam packed with poor line management. It’s confusing which cakes are which, as they aren’t labeled and English isn’t always a first language. I basically had to fight to get my order in and picked up.
Overall, I heartily recommend their products, if you can find a way around the line (or lack thereof).

Fantastic prices on custom cakes! The dulce de leche cake was fantastic and the decoration was exactly what I ordered. Staff was helpful when i placed the order and helped me decide the size of cake that I needed.
They bake their cakes fresh everyday so everything is fresh. Delicious traditional latin pasteries like flan, coquitos& pastel de guayava. I love their Spanish coffee served with hot milk. And the loaves of Cuban bread are good too!
This bakery gets packed with people in the morning and on weekends so be prepared to wait a few minutes before they can help you. Well worth wait.

The oreo cookie cake and napoleon were classic, towering, diner-​esque pieces of fluffy, sweet deliciousness and the girl behind the counter served it up with a smile. What more can I ask for with my $ 6?
Also serving coffee, lots of options for cake slices, cookies, iced and personalized cakes, etc. Wish they were around the corner from me instead of my friend’s house… but on the other hand, my tooth enamel and waistline are probably better off this way :(

Flan — too cake-​like and not enough pudding-​like. Looks pretty tho
Tres leches — too dry and the milk too sweet
Cheese cake — drenched in red syrup
The desserts are not bad quality but I have had better tasting flan, tres leches, and cheese cake. Was a little disappointing :(but the price is great.
Didn’t try the cakes. They seemed to be very popular. Lots of special orders. May be worth it to try next time.

I just stopped in here and got a slice of their yellow cake with white frosting. OMG! Rich and buttery and delicious. They don’t use cheap ingredients I can tell.
I’m going back tomorrow and each successive day to try everything in the store!

Capri Bakery is a Latin bakery located in Spanish Harlem. I say «Latin» because the people running the bakery range from Cuban to Venezuelan to Mexican to Dominican to Ecuadorian. It’s not a singular entity but rather a bakery with ties to American treats and Latin treats. You can get a glazed doughnut and cakes here as well as pasteles de queso y pasteles de quayaba.
I was attracted to the place by the pasteles de queso and the promise of decent café. The pasteles de queso didn’t taste like any pastel that I’ve tried at Cuban bakeries in Miami, but it still tasted pretty good and the café really hit the spot. I recommend dunking any of their little pastries into the café for a guilty pleasure. They take Visa and Mastercard, but there is a $ 10 minimum purchase for your information.
