    Reviews With Photos - Canela Bakery

    I've heard about this location from a YouTube channel and Canela Bakery was rated #1 out of any other bakery in the Newark area of New Jersey. I finally made it to try these #1 Pastel de nata and I wasn't disappointed at all. They look exactly like the ones in Portugal and the taste of the Nata is sweet but not overwhelming. The owner of the business is very inspirational and went the distance to achieve the original taste of Portugal and I absolutely love that. I highly recommend this location.

    We fell in love with Pastel de nata when we went to London and tried Cafe de Neda. After returning from the trip, we were on the hunt to find something similar here in the states. Canela bakery comes closest to London's place. Pro: Flaky crust and silky filling Not too sweet Not eggy at all (unlike Teixeira's bakery) Price Con: From the outside, the place looks like a bodega and doesn't look like a bakery. I think a little remodeling on the inside would make this place better.

    Delicious - the best pastel de nata that I've been able to find outside of Portugal.

    I always have a sweet tooth and wanted to give this spot a try. When I arrived I had to double park…read morebecause parking is terrible in this area. I walked in and was greeted. The spot was super cute. I asked the lady a couple of questions about the desserts and the one I went with is the lime pie. It came to a little under $7 for a small slice. It's a tad pricey at this location. I paid and left. When I got home I tasted and it was a tasty pie. It was the right amount of flavor throughout. I had a pretty decent experience.

    Nope.....! We saw…read moretheir Luxury Truffle Collection offered on QVC. The truffles presented there were presented as large enough to be cut in half and shared for 2. The hosts Ooooed and Awwwed over the size of them & the unique flavors and when we would normally never pay 5$ a piece for chocolate, we thought they looked like a deal given the "size" and unique flavors. [12 pieces for $59.95] What was delivered was a joke! The total weight of the chocolates was approximately 8 ounces. That made them $120 a pound. They were simply packed loosely in a shipping box, so the box of truffles was shook and shaken all the way to our house and they looked terrible by the time they arrived. So an F for shipping. And the size, well as you can see they were nowhere as large as what was presented, as some were not even large enough to fill the space allowed in their packaging! For the most part they were smaller than a Lindor truffle. So another F for actual portion size in relation to what as presented on QVC. Finally the taste.... There was none. We tries 3, and they had NO real taste. I described them as eating Play Dough...just a weird putty texture. And the killer is 2 of the 3 we tried were hollow and you could see the seam where they constructed them. Yes...a BIG FAT "F" for taste!! We tried to return them and QVC didnt even want them back... So we put them where they belonged...in the TRASH. I welcome the owners of this establishment to prove to us what they offer is actually worth $120 a pound....
