Bagels or Muffins would be nice, but anything would be helpful. I need an upgrade from Jumbo.

And here I thought Jumbo was an upgrade from what was there before it.


In Cabarete there is Dick's and The Belgian Bakery. I have never seen anything like them in POP.

Bagels or Muffins? All Jumbo has is pastries, and tired cookies.

I never said what Jumbo had, just that it seemed to have some stuff that was better than other POP locations. Certainly not what Dicks or the Belgian Bakery have.

What about this place in POP:

Now that I see the menu options, it does not look like much of a "bakery".

I am afraid you are looking for unobtanium in POP. Never saw anybody sell fresh bagels here, by the way, just imported ones in a plastic bag. The muffins I have gotten in Dominican grocery stores have not been worth eating.

No, my question was are there Bagels or Muffins in Cab. No bagels ok, but are there fresh muffins in Cab?
What you got there?

Cabarete
I agree that the best bread around is Moulin de Paris. They deliver every morning at 8am to Playero. Their breads are absolutely delicious, especially their rustic breads and I also like their Pan Chocolat and the plain croissants. Playero also have their freshly baked breads that are kept warm which are also excellent.
