Beautiful place, has the warmth I needed to start my day! They have a variety on the menu but I went classic and ordered a bauru ( bread, ham, cheese, tomato and oregano) and pineapple and mint juice, everything fresh and delicious! Service was adorable and I will definitely come back!!!

Loved this place so much! I am a softie for cute cafes that have a tasty menu items. My friend recommended this location and I had to give it a try. The cafe serves up authentic Portuguese cuisine as well as traditional menu items. My friend and I arrived around 10:30 am and it was already full which is a good sign to me. My friend and I decided to order two meals and split so we ordered the crispy chicken Cesar sandwich and the Juan's which is a chicken shepherds pie (they have a beef option and veggie option). Both were amazing and so flavorful. The chicken Cesar was the best sandwich I've had so far! We also ordered an açaí shake and I also ordered the pineapple Mint (added sugar). Ambiance was super modern and loved the color and details. It is a medium sized location but super worth the trip. Staff was very friendly as well and attentive. I didn't get a chance to try the dessert but they looked fantastic. Can't wait to be back.

Came across this cute coffee shop/cafe driving up and down the avenue and have always wanted to stop by. They've really decorated for the holiday season with a huge snowman and cute decor outside and inside. They've even customized a winter menu and I ordered the Christmas cappuccino that came in a festive snowman mug and sprinkles on top. Tasty too! Inside they are going for a French bistro like feel with cute tables and chairs. I dig it! They offer a mix of Portuguese and Brazilian savory snacks, pastries, small bites, and meals. We ordered the Brazilian empanada with shredded chicken and cheese and it didn't disappoint. The volcano carrot cake with chocolate was great too. The server was super friendly and was quick to recommend some of the customers' favorite orders so I recommend stopping by and enjoying this gem if you're in the Kearny area.

I highly recommend Sweetcheeks- Custom Cakes and Affections! This awesome, woman-owned small…read morebusiness came highly recommended by a good friend, who has gotten her daughters' birthday cakes from Sweetcheeks, so I had experience with the beauty and the yummy taste. When I needed to plan for my daughter's birthday, it was a no-brainer. Kaylyn was super communicative and helpful; I sent photos of my daughter's party invitation and she did the rest in terms of design. It was simply spectacular! Gorgeous beyond what I could even imagine. She was also helpful in discussing amounts (size of cake, amount of cupcakes, servings and leftovers) to make sure we had plenty without overdoing it. She never tried to get me to order more or spend more, which I respected. The morning of pickup, Kaylyn sent me abundant photos and videos of the cake and cupcakes and I was blown away! She was flexible with pickup at her house, provided cake cutting instructions and storage tips, and made the whole process easy. We received a ton of compliments at the party on how gorgeous the cake and cupcakes were, and the flavors were a hit! As delicious to the tummy as they are to the eye! I will definitely be using Sweetcheeks for our family parties going forward!

My favorite bakery in New Jersey. Excellent breads and rolls, cookies and pastries are outstanding…read moreas are their cakes. Delivering high quality specialty cookies for the holidays that are difficult to find. Also their subs on their freshly baked bread are outstanding

Petcher's in Harrison. Mazur's in Lyndhurst…read more Brother's in Kearny. Vitello's in Nutley. Every (baking) empire eventually... crumbles. (Dad's gotta dan pun, we can't help ourselves.) With all the old guard now in the history books I began searching for a new reliable bakery. Very first visit here and... I was on the fence. Second visit... okay, I'm a fan. Subsequent visits... actually I'm a big fan. From red velvet cookies to Sfogliatella to carrot cake - they have more than enough treats to quell your sweet tooth. The breads (the reason I find myself here most times) - incredible. Rolls (of varying sizes) as well as a damn perfect bastone (crunchy and flaky, ready to be piled high for a sandwich) not to mention... the almighty Pizza Bread?! Oh, yeah. A bit more rare to find but the only proper 'pane' if/when you're going to make an Italian hot dog. They also have a side/section with a full deli if savory is more your speed. Cool staff. Good pricing. Metered street parking but be warned... this one specific street feels more like a strip mall - with probably a dozen businesses (liquor stores to salons to fitness centers to a few restaurants to...) - all vying for those spots. (And if you ever need an icebreaker at a social gathering... tell 'em "da Vinci" wasn't actually Leonardo's last name. You're sure to be a hit at the party!)

DDL is elite. They have it all. Fantastic pastries, cakes and sandwiches. Great coffees. Spacious,…read moreclean and cozy seating. Friendly and helpful staff. Super affordable prices. I've never eaten anything that I didn't like. My faves are: milhojas, breakfast croissant sandwich, and any and every cake with dulce de leche filling. I only tiny, minuscule complaint I have about this place is the lack of signage for the pastries and cakes. It would be nice to know what I'm looking at without having the ask. Absolutely zero gatekeeping here. Please everyone keep patronizing this establishment. I need this place to continue to exist in my hood.

The cake here is very good! Super moist, and the frosting is light and fluffy when ordered fresh…read more Unfortunately the 2 cupcakes I got, both alfajores and the chocolate covered one too were stale, like super hard and dry. So get anything fresh, like made to order cakes or things you see come out right when you're there. Otherwise you run the risk of getting old stuff, which sucks that they don't manage that at all. On a Sunday afternoon lines moved quickly and we were able to find seats. This is a cute cafe that offers plenty of savory items and lunches, plus drinks like matcha, cakes, pastries and cookies. There is also a bathroom! The women behind the counter were all nice and patient with my questions, they also kept the line moving and were quick. I had high hopes for the Alfajores as this is an Argentinian bakery but unfortunately the ones given to me were stale. The cookie was very hard. Also the Dulce de leche was too sweet and burnt tasting to me. I also got a chocolate covered one and the cookie in that was also hard and dry. The strawberry croissant was amazing. Never had anything like that before. Not too sweet and very flaky. It has a ribbon of red on the outside which gives it a unique look. I would love to come back and try savory items. I'll continue to stick with the cakes and croissants for desert and make sure it's fresh!
