Ruelo Patisserie is a small dessert and cafe spot in Times Square on Leslie and Highway 7. They serve a wide variety of cakes, teas, drinks, and the like. It's rather small with only a few tables, but the place is real clean and has a nice decor and interior.
We just came from dinner but the girlfriend loves her post-dinner cakes, so we stopped in to grab a slice. I ordered the Pina Colada, while Anna got a slice of Hazelnut cake. The Pina colada was a slice of cake that was coated in coconut flakes and stuffed with tiny pineapple chunks and a wafer. It was very good, but the inside was a tad too sweet. The hazelnut cake was the best as it was moist and the crust at the bottom was perfect.
The place itself is located within that inner area so be sure to make your way in for the parking and such. The lady behind the counter was nice and the service quick. You can also preorder larger cakes for pickup. Definitely a place worth checking out.
Pastry is quite outstanding. Small venue. Seats not very comfy for afternoon tea, tea selection was okay. But overall quite good value if you purchase the tea from groupon. Will also recommend other pastries not from the tea set. Macaron was okay with very intense food colouring, not much focusing on flavour.
Most delicious cake. I bought the Ruelo cake for my boyfriend's birthday and couldn't have been more pleased. There were so many layers within the cake. The chocolate mousse and creme brulee gives the cake a creamy filling just right to contrast the crunchy centre. I'm always scared of purchasing cakes that might end up being too sweet, but this was just perfect! NEXT STEP: will try the macrons!
