100,000 Google Impressions in a Month

Wow !!! Centurycafe.com had over 100,000 Google impressions in a 30 day period recently. We are getting 50 to 100 unique visitors a day on the site We have almost 150 inbound links from other websites. We ranked #1 for the phrase Manhattan Bakery for over 2 years until Google allowed a MADE FOR ADSENSE MFA site to go to #1 to make more money for Google. That MFA site has ZERO unique content... infact it has STOLEN CONTENT. Half of the page is GOOGLE ADS. Wow !! They have 1 inbound link. I have no explanation why our site is not #1 ...

Chocolate Strawberry Cake

Another work of art, this chocolate / vanilla / fruit cake is topped with strawberries and kiwi. Shaved chocolate arches and cherries finish the look. Click this picture 2 more times to make it HUGE. I'll bet when you look at those strawberries and chocolate at a size as big as your screen, you'll definitely feel like eating a piece of this cake !!! Cheers -

Bubble Coffee

What? Bubble Coffee? You better believe it. I've seen it around NYC but at a place like the Century cafe and Bakery you can have just about any drink made into a Bubble Drink or a "Boba Drink" including the ubiquitous NYC "coffee light and sweet". Are most Bubble Tea drinkers going to try this one? I doubt it. Coffee drinkers usually don't want Boba's in their drink. But it is an interesting and refreshing variety and change of pace. I recommend it when you are in the mood to try something new. Cheers -

Mango Cake with Fruit Topping

Super Yum. This creation is almost too good looking to eat. Cakes like this are available every day from the cake window or they can be made in advance to your specifications. We prefer 24 hour advance calls for custom cakes. Of course large cakes may take a couple days prep.

Chocolate Chip Fruit Topped Cake

Chocolate Chip Fruit Topped Cake. The kiwi and strawberries on top of this cake really combine with the chocolate chips to make a luxurious flavor combination that can't be beat. Try this out at your next family birthday party for a real treat.

Dessert Tray 1

Take a look and try to resist. I have a physical reaction in my mouth when I see something that looks this good to eat. Get there and munch some of these down. Click the image below to enlarge it and click it twice to blow it up on the screen to "in your face size". Wow those cakes look so good.
