About
Looking for a quick coffee fix or a leisurely breakfast that feels like dessert? Candy Cake is a beloved spot in Rocky Point that draws both locals and visitors with its warm welcome and tempting treats.
History
Candy Cake opened its doors in November 2000 as the town’s first coffee shop with a dedicated espresso bar. Fresh pastries and creative dishes from its kitchen quickly built a loyal following. More than two decades later, this family-run bakery and café still centers on quality pastries while offering breakfast, lunch, coffee, and an ever-evolving menu. As popularity grew, the team expanded options without ever compromising on fresh ingredients or heartfelt service.
What makes Candy Cake so popular?
The café shines with its impressive variety—think pancakes, waffles, egg sandwiches, chilaquiles, fresh salads, sandwiches, pastas, and chef-crafted specials. With a menu featuring 32 dishes plus seasonal items, there’s always something new to discover.
The atmosphere is bright, cheerful, and inviting, with comfy couches and tables that encourage you to linger and soak in the lively energy.
Leading the kitchen is executive chef Marilyn Annissa Nunez Hernandez. A graduate of Universidad del Valle del Mexico, she honed her skills with an internship at Grand Velas in the Riviera Maya and later worked alongside Michelin-starred talent at Vertical by Group La Sucursal in Valencia, Spain. Today, she brings that expertise home to Rocky Point, creating memorable meals right here.
