The Tres Leches Journey
In the 1960s, as a child at the Cristóbal Colón sugar mill in San Pedro de Macorís, Dominican Republic, Felipe learned to prepare desserts and sweets by watching his grandmother, Maira Nelson, and over time developed a great passion for baking.
As an adult, he moved to New York, where he had a taste of Tres Leches Cake, which motivated him to bake one with his own new and improved recipe, putting into practice what he had learned in his childhood. He started preparing it in his apartment for friends and family, but the high demand led him and his wife, Luisa, to produce it on a small scale. The continuous growth in orders in 2009 led to a fully equipped space to produce on a larger scale.
Thus was born TRES LECHES CAFÉ, POR LA GRACIA DE DIOS, where he was able to innovate by expanding the offering with new flavors and desserts. What began in an apartment became a renowned pastry company distinguished by the quality of its products.
