Carolina’s Desserts

I loved this place! Their dominican cakes are great & the owner was very nice! I’ll be coming back very soon!

The Dominican cake here is awful! The reason why I’m giving it four stars is because the tres leche is pretty good.

Where do I start with this place, how about the beginning. I ordered a cake (for a very special occasion) on Thursday which I was supposed to pick up on Friday night at 6pm even though I didn’t need the cake till Saturday. I called that same Friday about 4:30pm and spoke to a nice lady and asked her if my cake could be picked up Saturday morning cause I just didn’t have the room in my refrigerator and she told me that it wouldn’t be a problem. I show up that same morning and speak to an older gentlemen about the cake I was supposed to pick up which I had already paid for. He mentioned that I was supposed to get it the night before. I explained my story and how the young lady I spoke too told me it would be held and refrigerated for me. Ready for this… I’m then told that my cake was sold being that I didn’t pick it up on Friday night even after I told him what the young lady had mentioned to me. Needless to say, I was outraged and let him know about it as I mentioned how they can sell a cake that’s been paid for already, he had no response and was unapologetic and at one point, even shrugged his shoulders as to say… oh well. If it wasn’t for my wife, I would have probably put his head through the closest cake to us. This is not the place you should or anyone should want to do business with. Trust me when I tell you or go find out for yourself. Never again!!!

Tres leches is not amazing but its okay. Not too sweet but the flavor was okay. It taste like cake soaked in the 3 milk thats all. No biggy. I had better cake before with a distinct flavor to the tres leches, this one was just «safe», no distinct flavor. I had to edit because it taste amazing the next day ! I ate it too fresh and all leeches wasn’t fully incorporated. But def delicious !

Had a great first experience with Carolina’s.
Carolina made my girlfriend’s birthday cake, a tres leches, and it was delicious and decorated beautifully.
It was super moist without being soggy and the flavor was great throughout.
Carolina and her coworkers are super friendly and accommodating and the price really can’t be beat, I’ve paid more for home-​made cakes.
We will be happy and returning customers.

This bakery has the best Dominican cake! Better than any cake I have ever purchased in Washington Heights! Will purchase a cake from this place again. They sell wholesale desserts, but if you call ahead they will make a fresh cake.

This place is located near the library off Central Ave, not a great location. Parking is on the street, and the meters are usually broken. The shop itself is basically take out. They specialize in Latin desserts. The Dominican cake is very good, not too sweet like too many can be, good cake and nice frosting, reminds me of my Mom’s. The flan is good but for some reason has a slightly floury texture. Tres Leches cake is also good but they top it with some sort of fake cream. Overall it’s good but not great, and the prices are reasonable. I usually make my own cakes, but if I ever need to buy one I would probably order from here.
