They sell the best Pork Ribs Tamales in my honest opinion. Parking sometimes is a challenge and there are always a long line. They should get more cashiers during peak times.

The staff is friendly, and they open just before 5:00 AM, which is perfect for my schedule. read more The staff is friendly, and they open just before 5:00 AM, which is perfect for my schedule.

Curious, I asked an associate behind the counter what they were. She informed me it was corn pie. Before I could ask for more information, she offered me a sample. One sniff and a bite later, I was hooked! I immediately ordered two to take home. We also sampled both types of flan. A quick search revealed that corn pie has its roots in Trinidad. **CORN PIE:** It has a delightful aroma of sweet corn with a subtle graininess in texture, yet it is incredibly creamy overall. The top crust looks similar to cornbread, and the pie is dense and moist. The flavor is a remarkable sweet corn experience that pairs wonderfully with coffee, striking the perfect balance of sweetness. I told my friends and family that it’s life-changing; my perception of cornbread will never be the same after tasting this corn delicacy. Only a bread-like corn pudding could potentially compare to the extraordinary level achieved by this corn pie. To describe it succinctly, it's as if cornbread meets flan meets ricotta cheesecake (though it's more akin to cornbread and eggy flan, with just a hint of a ricotta cheesecake texture). **FLAN 1:** This version is more of a gelatinous, pudding-like consistency, visually appealing with beautiful shades of gold, orange, and caramel brown. I snagged a small bite from my wife’s cup of flan (without caramel sauce), which was lightly sweet without the sauce and presumably medium sweet with it. The smooth texture was very enjoyable. **FLAN 2:** This eggy-style flan has a medium firmness and expected medium sweetness, characteristic of caramel desserts. It has a grainier texture, with a light drizzle of caramel on top that offers a nice flavor. This style of flan is my favorite, and it paired excellently with a bold coffee at home. The dark chocolate leaf candy on top added a touch of light sweetness. **COFFEE FRAPPUCCINO:** This frozen drink delivers a bolder coffee flavor. Next time, I would skip the chocolate sauce and whipped cream to let the robust coffee flavor shine through. It was delicious! **CARAMEL FRAPPUCCINO:** This frozen beverage has a somewhat muted coffee flavor due to the caramel sauce and whipped cream. I actually preferred the coffee frappuccino over this one as it leaned too sweet for my taste, which sometimes happens with caramel coffee drinks. Nonetheless, I finished it because it was still enjoyable. The staff at Jazmin's Bakery were generous, friendly, and accommodating, even amidst a small rush that followed us in.
