I stopped by LA Sweets NY yesterday for their grand opening at their 2nd Harlem location. Shout out their staff they helped set up the new store and were still able to provide good service. They’re serving up cake slices, cupcakes, cheesecakes, pies, cinnamon rolls, and much more. I tried the toasted coconut pineapple cake and that was my favorite. The cakes they make are moist and they are not cheap with toppings, frosting, etc. The inside is small but has a nice aesthetic. This is 100% black women owned and I wish this cake shop continues to succeed. - Jeffrey Gomez
