Poor service, smallest $4 cappucino in town

by Cworld3

We had high hopes for this place as we had just moved to the heights and DaCapos is a few blocks from our new place. When we received our $4 cappucinos in mugs, they were 20% beverage and 80% foam. Was this a joke? - less than an inch of cappucino in each mug - and these were not wide mugs. I approached the counter and kindly explained that the cappucinos seemed a little small, and could we please get more. The clerk began to argue with me - yes argue - and explain how she made the cappucino and how the size was justified. I asked again for more cappucino, neglecting to mention that across the street they are twice the size and cheaper. She finally returned to the table with slightly heavier drinks, but the lack of customer focus and the argumentative clerk had already made my muffin sour. I'll not be returning.

• Pros: Dessert and quiche pretty good
• Cons: Overpriced, argumentative service, shorted on purchase

Excellent Tres Leches!!!

by checkerhead

In looking for a bakery, I came across Dacapo's online and read the wonderful reviews so decided to give it a try. We got the Tres Leches, and it was very yummy!!! This is one of the best tres leches I've ever had.....my brother who is VERY picky about sweets even raved about it and he's demanding we get him one on his next birthday!! WIll be going back here again for future cakes....can't wait to try some of the other flavors!!

• Pros: great tres leches, reasonable price for what you're getting
• Cons: parking

Cozy Cafe in the Heights

by agonz1979

This is the best cafe in the Heights so far! Everything on their menu that I've tried is exceptional. The staff there is very friendly. It's a very small cafe, but I highly recommend that you try it. Their Italian Cream Cake is the best! Please try it!!

• Pros: Everything

by dkmunoz

Even better is the most delicious cake you'll ever put in your mouth...

Banana Split Cake....it is completely covered on top with sliced strawberies and drizzled with chocolate it is unbelieveable. Everyone that eats it wants to know where you got it!!! I have sent more people there. They are doing my daughters wedding cake as well. The goat cheese torte is fabulous as are the salads and sandwiches and soups. I've never had a bad thing !! D Munoz
