Our first time visiting Candy Balloons this weekend for a friend’s book signing was such a beautiful experience! The staff were incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The pastries were amazing — especially the tres leches dessert, which was my favorite! They also had a variety of delicious sandwiches served on sweet bread that were so tasty. And the coffee? Absolutely incredible. The kind of coffee that instantly takes you straight to Puerto Rico. I would gladly drive 20 minutes just to have it again. The owners are such humble, warm people and a beautiful Puerto Rican family. They also have a balloon section where they create unique balloon designs like flowers and animals that are perfect for parties and decorations. Overall, the atmosphere was peaceful, cozy, and inviting — the perfect place to sit, relax, enjoy coffee, and good food. Highly recommend supporting this wonderful local business!
