La Mămuca

This La Mămuca outlet on Alecu Russo Street (1/1) in Râșcani is part of the local La Mămuca bakery chain. It sells baked goods for a quick bite: covrigi (Moldovan pretzel rings), plăcinte, sweet and savoury puff pastries, pizza by the slice, plus chebureki and corn dogs; the counter is regularly topped up with new items such as Bueno-style cream or strawberry puffs. Pastries and hot drinks are mostly taken to go, as the compact format is aimed at people stopping by on the way home or to work. The lamamuca.md website points to the chain’s Facebook page, where new products are announced.

Overall, customers rate this outlet positively. They praise the pizza, pastries that are tasty “as usual”, friendly staff and the fact that there is still a choice in the evening. Criticism concerns uneven quality on some days — overly salty savoury items, greasy fried pastries — and occasionally cool service at the till.
