Tastebud Heaven, Wedding Cakes!

by christinemunoz

Oh my goodness! This place is fullre tons of tiny delights all around you-bite-size homeade toffees, breads, and delicious sweets. Your eyes will wander into bliss. I sampled their toffee, and it was on the top 10 best things my mouth has ever tasted! I went in here to sample their wedding cakes and the plain white cake was absolutely delicious. The buttercream frosting is extremely light textured, and the cake is so not like anything you would buy at the grocery store bakery or even most wedding cake bakeries. I purchased my wedding cake from here, and am very happy. Their cappuccino was the BEST I have ever had! I think they also serve sandwiches and light food items. I saw the cook in the back pulling breads from the oven, and they all looked so good. Prepare to be tempted when you walk into this place!

Best Migas EVER!!!!!!!

by Betsy76

My office always orders their cakes from Rustika Cafe (very delicious, btw), but I have never been to Rustika to eat before. That all changed this Mother's Day when my family and I went for breakfast. I was absolutely blown away from the moment I set foot inside. As soon as you enter you are greeted by rows and rows cookies, cakes and pastries. If you can pull yourself away from all of the sweets you can imagine, you come face to face with an amazing menu. Although they had a lunch and dinner menu, I was there for breakfast. The migas immediately caught my eye. Granted, there were many other things I wanted to try, but I consider myself a bit of a migas connoisseur. Rustika Cafe did not disappoint. A perfect combination of eggs and tortillas, the flavor was a warm embrace. It got better with every bite. The plate comes with a slice of toast that is baked in-house. The portion was plentiful yet not overwhelming. The eggs were perfectly cooked so as to melt with each bite. Rustika Cafe has the most delicious migas I have ever had. If you haven't had the opportunity to experience breakfast at Rustika Cafe, you are missing out. I recommend the migas!

• Pros: Divine breakfast menu

Has outsatanding bill and not willing to pay

by BrianKReed1

We came out on 5/30/7 & 5/31/7 to work on the air conditioning unit. The bill was $1,623.47 and they made a payment of $623.47 but will not pay the remainder. The motor itself was $641.25, labor was $858.50 and the tax was $123.72. The customer was advised I would write a review via email as they will not accept or mail. In addition, they will not return phone calls. I suggest if you perform work for this company, you get the money up front.

Thank you,

Brian

• Pros: N/A
• Cons: Owe's us $1,000.00 from 6/5/7

great place

by ppc133

I called in to Rustika cafe in an attempt to organize a birthday breakfast for me and 15 of my friends. Not only did I call the day before, but I suggested a reservation a full hour before the bakery even opened. The people at Rustika cafe were insanely accommodating, going out of their way to put together a small party in little more than 12 hours notice. Needless to say, I was shocked by the friendliness of these people and their willingness to help me out. Oh, and besides the great people the food is obviously amazing! I definitely recommend Rustika cafe.

• Pros: accommodating staff, great food
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

by PatQ

This is a little late to write but we bought my daughters wedding cake here in 2005 and it was absolutely wounderful. It had a raspberry filling and all the guests really raved about it.

Eat a fine Mexican breakfast, lunch on empanadas, then float to cookie heaven.

by Contributor

In Short
Mexico City native Francis Reznick and her artistic Mexican bakers/cooks turn flour and eggs into magical morsels. Sample Mexican danishes with cream cheese, apricot and raspberry preserves (pair with Cuban coffee or a chocolate mocciana). Fresh-baked empanadas include pumpkin sprinkled with cinnamon, scrumptious chicken with peas and lush spinach. Count on a real Mexican bakery to deliver mouth-pleasing migas and intensely flavorful potato soup. Savor an artisan cookie--lemon cornmeal, almond butter or Mexican wedding--for dessert.

Rustika is the BEst

by lisa heim

I used this bakery for a party that I threw for the holidays 12/04. The owner worked with me very well and the desserts were totally awesome. They made bite size pecan tarts, lemon tarts, raspberry powdered sugar cookies, dulce de leches and the most unbelievable chocolate cake I have ever tasted. My guests raved over the quality. Each piece was more than a bite - they were generous portions. I highly recommend this bakery for all your special treats! Can't go wrong on any selection.

• Pros: Great service

by lklisa

I recently went Rustika Cafe & Bakery for the first time.I was surprised by the wide array of baked goods and breads. The breakfast they serve is delicious...especially the breakfast taquitos. They have all kinds of empanadas that are exquisite and the cake was extrordinary! I'm lucky I live around the corner...but even if I didn't I'd definitely go out of my way to come to Rustika. They also have extended hours which I'm quite excited about! It's always nice to have a place like this for after dinner. Did I mention the great service? Go and see for yourself!

• Pros: Delicious, Authentic, Great service
