Pasteleria La Duquesa

Lots of variety in this shop of pastrie. Unfortunately I read previously that hot and cold drinks were served but this is not the case. So I opted for a croissant and when I pulled put cash the woman behind the counter groaned and nearly rolled her eyes at me and showed me the receipt of 1.50 so I siad I'd pay by card if cash was a problem to which she then pointed at a small sign on the side of the counter saying minimum 10euro charge. I thought maybe to use the card machine but i had cash so i had to abandon the pastry shop without anything. Outrageous really in this day.

Yesterday my friend went to get a cake. When he arrived at the pastry shop, he asked if a particular cake was a birthday cake to which the employee replied yes, it was. When he got home we realised it was a cheesecake, not a birthday cake 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️. I had to go to another shop to buy a birthday cake, when the employee could’ve told that it was a cheesecake. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I wasn’t happy with the purchase, at all!

They have lots to choose from. Starters to mains and even dessert. Theres hot and cold drinks. My favourite is strawberry and banana milkshake. And beef sandwich with chips. The staff wear masks and clean the tables after each customer. Also they have hand sanitizer at the entrance to clean. There's music in the background and the atmosphere is friendly. The service is fast and your order correct no Mistakes. The coffee here is also good. There's little birds which keep you company.you can either sit at the bar or choose to sit on a table depending on space. The cakes here are amazing I recommend you get a peace if you still have room from your main course. The view isn't anything special but there is glass windows to look out of to see the main road and the horses that are lined up on the corner.the space of the building is quite large so there's enough room for alot of people. There's very little waiting time for a table or to sit at the bar. They even have toothpicks if you need one after your meal. I also recommend you get a crepe they too are amazing here.

Hidden gem of delicious breads, pastries, biscuits and cakes of all kinds all hand made - sampled the almond biscuits and sponge cakes which were reasonable and incredibly tasty!

A little pricey but overall good quality
