El Cafetero Bakery

So your in the area and your looking for some good stuff to drink and wake you up… Stop here for your espresso coffee just $ 1…
I actually go out of my way to drink this good café… been going here for several years now and I did notice they are under new ownership however it hasn’t stopped them from making their coffee to my likings. Most of the locals visit this coffee shop… You see people hanging out talking to the counter help… And they know what you want if you visit quite often… I absolutely love this coffee… nothing fake or imitation about their coffee… I always return…

I used to come here all the time, maybe for like 3−4years. Preferred this over noches every time. It’s always usually packed and in the winter you have to wait to sit somewhere else other than by the door. They’re churasaquito used to be 11 dollars including rice and beans and 2 plantains. Today I came and there were actually open tables surprisingly and when I opened the menu I was upset. You can tell they changed the price for ONLY the churasquito and the churasco. From 11 to 16 dollars!!! Mind you its not a high class restaurant like noches where I would be ok to pay that price. Once the food arrived you can tell the plantains were microwaved… disgusting. The avocado salad I ordered was hard instead of ripped. The waiters talk amount themselves instead of making sure they’re customers are satisfied. Used to come here allllll the time but today will be the last I step foot here. feel bad for the owner because he’s amazing but his store is going down. You can get the same product at a 5 store Colombian restaurant for this price.

El mejor Pandebono, Pandeyuca, Pericos, jugo de mora en todo New Jersey.
El mejor servicio dado por Natalia.
No dejen de venir !

We found this little bakery a few months ago through Unilocal while looking for a place to grab some coffee and a pastry. Their incredible food and service have had us coming back over and over. They have delicious pandebono and pan de yuca. Jugo de mora (blackberry smoothie) is one of my all time favorites and Natalia (our server) knows how to make it perfectly!
Prices are VERY reasonable. You can grab and go or sit down to have breakfast or lunch.
Please do yourself a favor and drop in for some pandebono and a cafecito (coffee). You won’t be disappointed!

I am personally a huge fan of this place. First thing to say is that if your looking for the best empanadas in town then this is the place to go! Everything here is completely fresh. The ladies working there do not speak the best English so I would suggest going with someone who speaks Spanish. The other day my BF and I went to get empanadas, chiccarone and that Colombian bread with the cheese in it. The lady wound up giving us the chiccarone they just finished cooking (amazing) and gave us plenty of sauce for our meal. The price for everything came out to $ 8.00 and we had TONS of food! The inside is a little small. I wouldn’t suggest eating there (more of a «to go» place). As another word of advice they only take cash as well but that’s not a big deal to me personally. They have so much food and fresh baked goods here I. Display it is hard to not want to try them all in one shot. I will be back here in the future. This Colombian bakery is a hidden gem.

It’s hard to believe this place is actually a bakery. While it has all sorts of pastries to choose from, it is more a breakfast shop. They serve some of the best empanadas in town; beef or chicken. They also have pandebonos which are freshly baked almost every half hour because they can’t keep them on the shelves, they sell so fast. They also serve breakfast platters. They’re café con leche is divine. Classic Columbian breakfast eatery at ridiculously affordable prices. The only downside is that it’s cash only but I can overlook that given the quality of their food.
