I discovered Dulce de Leche thanks to one of my coworkers who brought the signature cake (aka the house cake) from this Argentinian bakery located in Jersey City and raved about the various items they offer. After tasting that cake (that yes, had dulce de leche in it), we decided to go check it out.

The place was fairly busy, most of the people checking all the goodies that were on display, probably like us, unsure what to order, so many things looking very appetizing. We decided to try few the following:

Churros - you cannot go wrong with churros and, although not made à la minute (to order), they were deliciously crispy and chewy. One was a classic, the other one filled with Nutella.

Another item with Nutella was a sort of beignet (I do not recall the name…). It was very good, although I would have liked more Nutella in it.

Then we had a palmier, that is made with puff pastry, tasting buttery and being nicely caramelized on the outside. Quite good.

Last was the cake. We could not not try a cake that they offer by the slice. A tres leches could have been our choice, but then, we saw their dulce de leche chantilly, a chocolate cake with layers of dulce de leche and chantilly. Let me tell you: this is one of the best chocolate cakes I ever had! Moist, chocolatey without being dense, not too sweet, the chantilly, similar to the one on a tres Leche cake cutting on the sweetness of the Dulce de Leche a bit; also, the pairing of the dulce de leche and chocolate cake was perfect. I would even recommend it over the house cake!

So it was great and I am looking forward to go back to Dulce de Leche, maybe this time to try one of their savory products like the empanada that are apparently very good.

Enjoy (I did)!
