This is a nice little bakery that specializes in Filipino desserts and pastries. They generally have a good selection of cupcakes and cookies, as well as some Filipino desserts. They've got leche flan, buko pie, turon (Saturdays only), halo-halo, mais con yelo, polvoron, egg pie, buko pandan, ensaymada, pan de sal, and more.
We always get the halo halo special (adds ube or mango ice cream) and mais con yelo because they're awesome. They come with a little chunk of leche flan which is a nice little surprise.
We've never had anything but friendly service. Really hope they succeed since it's so hard to find good Filipino drinks around here.
Carmela’s cakes and treats are always amazing!! The calamansi mascarpone and the chocolate burnt buttercream are our cupcake go-tos when they’re available.
For all of our past gatherings, we have always catered from here! Super reliable and always a treat we look forward to
Bought the following on 7/3/22:
Cupcakes (almost $5) a piece. Dry, no good. Wasted money on 6 pcs.
Silvanas no good either. Bought 1. Threw it away after small bite.
What I liked was the mini cheese cupcake. Creamy & delicious.
Carmela's offerings of scrumptious cupcakes (also available as layer cakes), cookies, halo-halo, flan, mini-cheese cakes, and modern versions of some Filipino desserts are just delightful! Until this Hercules bakery opened, our favorite quality cakes are 20 miles away. This is not the typical bakery with super wide menu, but has the variety that can surprise both new & returning customers. The cakes not only present well but also match good looks with good flavors and texture. They are lightly rich, not cloyingly sweet. And, Carmela can accommodate some customization with cake orders, such as having a different frosting than normally seen in the cupcake version. (Our favorite is Double Chocolate cake with Mascarpone cream frosting--not available as cupcake (yet?).
Walk in this neighborhood cake and dessert shop, delight your eyes and sweet tooth.
Workers were nice and everything was delicious. The cookies were great and the red velvet cupcake is one of the best I've had in a long time. My parents love the flan and are going back for more soon. Can't recommend this place enough, not to the mention the great pricing. New fav sweets spot!!
