I like old town Monrovia. I discovered this cute little Cuban restaurant/bakery called Merengue on Myrtle Avenue today. I... ordered a Cuban tamale, strawberry shortcake and a double cortadito for lunch. I enjoyed all items I had and the prices werereasonable. There are still so many items I wanna try on their menu. I'll return. Read more
This is our first time at Merengue Bakery & Cafe it's a Cuban bakery just Porto's and Tropicana bakery but better flavors in... theirs food and their pastrys and they are so good. Read more
Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - some pastries are much better than others. I can eat 10 of the mini salted caramel tart things if... given! Carrot cake is must try with perfect blend of spice for the cake and sweetness from the frosting. It?s a much finertexture than usual which makes it that much more delicious. New York Cheesecake was extremely dense and more sour than expected.Napoleon had flaky pastry and extremely smooth pastry cream. Ambience: 5/5 - nice and clean decoration. Very comfortable to beat and would loved to have eaten there if we weren?t meeting up with friends. Service: 3/5 - had to wait around 8 minutes eventhough there was only one person ahead of us. Two staff was behind the counter but not sure what the other was doing. Value forprice: 4/5 - a bit more pricey but worth it for the yummier pastries Read more
This is a pretty nice Cuban Cafe. The customer service was great and the food came pretty quick. I got a Chimichurri Chicken... Sandwich on Cuban bread and it came with some plantain chips. Very good stuff, I?ll definitely be back! Also, they have outdoorseating which is great during these times. Read more
