“ La calidad de su panadería es excelente, los pasteles, los postres y el pan de dulce está muy rico y de gran variedad. Cuentan con barra para hacer bebidas elaboradas como café, malteadas o licuados, puedes pagar con efectivo o tarjeta, al ser express, en algunas ocasiones se quedan sin algunos productos, recomiendo el bisquete con mantequilla está muy rico. ”
“ Their specialty’s are their hand made biscuits. They melt in your mouth , you can’t stop at just 1 biscuit. Your almost tempted to eat 2 or 3 . I had the Abuelita Hot chocolate it was served at the right temperature. ”
“ This place can't be catalogued as a restaurant because is not. Is more a bakery that offer a wide range of bread, dessert, bakery and other salad options such as large plates of snacks and appetizers for meetings and gathering, something like a catering service. So that is why it has the "Express" attached to the commonly known restaurant name of El Itacate. Although i gave two stars to one of their restaurants as I disagree with their policy to handle the attendance and personally don't like their menu. I do enjoy this place as like most of the bread, bakery and above all their famous bisquets known for years and have to say that are improved now from the las time I taste. ”
