The guava and cheese pastries are the best I've ever had. Cuba bakery ain't got nothing on these--controversial to those who know, but yep, I said it. The guava paste is sweet and tangy, the cheese is just right and they're always flaky and fresh. Also their tres leches cake and cuatro leches (has dulce de leche)---they're a favorite of our entire family. read more

When I first moved into Belleville a year ago this place was fantastic. My family absolutely loved the ropa vieja empanadas and the coffee was delicious. I don't go often but decided to go last month and was completely disappointed with the ropa vieja empanadas I couldn't even eat them. They went straight to the trash. The seasoning was off and the salt was unbearable. I decided to stop by today and give it another shot hoping it was a one time thing. Unfortunately it was worst this time not only was the ropa vieja empanadas awful but so was my coffee and the lady at the counter was so distracted talking to her co workers she forgot about my coffee. They also had almost no pastries at the counter. This was at 8:20am. I was so disappointed I loved this place but unfortunately they lost a customer today read more

My favorite place to go to for some mid day empanadas was Sweets and Cortaditos. My favorites were the cheese empanadas with their flakey pastry dough and lots of cheese. What the empanadas at S&C have turned into is a complete disappointment. These are the empanadas my husband came home with today, the cheese empanadas had run out and so we got chicken. The seasoning was awful, the dough is not deep fried as an empanada is traditionally known for, and it was overall bad. I took one bite and tossed to the trash. Hopefully they will return back to the original way of making empanadas because these are just awful. read more

Cortaditos - Chicken Fricas Empanada - Cuban Near Me - Belleville, New Jersey

I really liked the food we ordered from here. Busy on weekends esp near lunch time. Heads up - if you online order it takes longer so plan ahead. Took us 40 minutes, not 15, for our order to be ready. Creme brûlée and tres leches were my faves!!! So good. I will go back for those. The Papa rellena (potatoes balls) are huge but could have more flavor inside? The guava pastelitos also very good. Would skip the meat ones cuz there's so little meat in the middle. My husband liked the insides of the Cubano but prefers a thinner bread. read more

Looooooove this place coffee is amazing! Pastries are really good and always fresh. Nice ppl at the counter and prices are fair.

I had the guava and cheese empanada and the caramel iced latte. Very very good!cute atmosphere,very nice place.highly recommend

Busy at noon! Street parking can be hard. People though pick up & go. Etiquette is order then move over to the side or sit your sweet cheeks down & they'll call your order by name. Cuban food, pastries & cafes sold here. Wasn't sure what a cafecito was exactly & had mistakened a cafecito bon bon for a latte when it's just an espresso shot with a whole dollop of condensed milk... very sweet! Hard to swallow, wished there was a cup of milk beside me. Anyways next time gona order what I had in mind: the cafe con leche. Lots of options to quickly grab & eat like the empanadas & these croqueta looking things filled with chorizo & 2 other flavors but decided to fill myself up with a typical Cuban. Super toasty, cheesy, mustardy, pickly delish. Would deff come again to have some more of anything! read more

Food was really high priced. I know in 2023 we expect to pay more but it has to be worth the price and I can't say this experience was

Disappointed the ham used in the ham & cheese sandwich taste like rubber. I rather pay a little extra for better quality.

I'm writing this review after 5+ trips here. This place is super clean so let's start there. The staff is always friendly and make sure to answer questions if you're not sure what to get. The empanadas are always fresh and have a lot of filling but my favorite is the guava and cheese ($1.59 each). Their tres leche cake is the absolute best you can get in the area. I've purchased several for multiple occasions and it is always delicious and the right consistency for this cake. Their large cake is $30 and feeds about 6 people twice. They also have individual tres leches good for one person for $3.60. read more

PROS 1. Delicious Coffee. 2. Affordable prices. 3. The Baked Guava and Cheese Puffs are good. CONS 1. The Ham Croquettes was a bit mushy and lacked the light crunch that I hoped for. The flavor was ok. 2. The Fried Guava and Cream Cheese Empanadas needed more Guava than Cheese. read more

Cortaditos - Great prices but too much Cream Cheese which made it dry for me. - Cuban Near Me - Belleville, New Jersey

Love the hot cafe con leche and the iced mojito coffee (could be a little less sweet though). I've tried their regular Cuban sandwiches and the medianoche Cuban sandwiches. Delicious and has lots of meat. Good size sandwich. They are very nice and I've usually just ordered to pick up, usually ready in 15 mins. Their prices are okay but overall recommend this place. read more

If you like authentic Cuban food or pastry or Cuban coffee this is the place. You have to try Cuban sandwich or medianoche sandwich. A friendly atmosphere. read more

Some of the best Cuban coffee I've ever had comparable to Little Havana. Their frozen coffee is so flavorful. Their guava pastelitos are perfection. The ropa vieja empanadas are delicious. If you haven't been you need to go. read more

I'm going to get straight to the point because I'm stuffing my face as I make this review. This place is fantastic, I don't know how else to say it. This is not good but GREAT Cuban food and even if you're not in the area you should come try it out. I love Cuban cuisine, some would say it's basic but I say who cares when the flavors are magnificent and that's what this place has every time. The Cuban sandwiches are amazing and I get one every time I order. They have Cuban sodas that are delicious and the empanadas of course are wonderful. All of the desserts are also very good. I don't have any negative comments about this place, they are completely worthy of their high ratings/reviews. Would definitely highly recommend eating here, I'll be back next week. read more

Amazing Cuban coffee! Acere que bola!! Sorry I had to! After the awkward initial contact and awkward I mean some servers are not "Hi welcome to sweets and cortaditos!" And that brief moment of silence with us just looking at each other after you place your order and get it! Welcome to Havana! Amazing! Definitely recommend! read more

Clean, friendly and delicious! Looking forward to the expansion and hope to experience new authentic Cuban dishes

Sweets & Cortaditos is my favorite weekend breakfast spot. The Cubano Medianoche is amazing. The bread is always so soft and fresh. Service can be slow at times as it gets crazy busy so ordering ahead is a good idea. They have a large selection of desserts and cakes - though I've never tried any, they look really good. They also have fresh juices and coffee. Always a good idea to get a cortadito with your meal! read more

Everything I've ever ordered from here has always been delicious! Our favs are the Guayaba pastry and flan. Also, their orange juice is TO DIE FOR! read more

Whenever I'm in town I make sure I make a stop at Sweets and Cortaditos. A pastelito paired with a cortadito leche con leche. Delicioso! Nice little pick me up. Support your local businesses. read more

I have wanted to try this place for a while and finally stopped by today. I had a Cuban sandwich which is honestly the best Cuban I've ever eaten. Also ordered a cappuccino which was honestly perfect, so good my bf ended up buying the ground coffee for us to take home. We only walked in for sandwiches and a drink but ended up getting so many more items off the menu and everything was really good. Walking in the employees greeted us and were super attentive and nice after you order they bring your items to the table. I will definitely be coming back! read more

All the pastries and sandwiches are delish! Especially love the Guava pastry and the cafe con leche! Perfect spot for breakfast or lunch or when I need to take goodies to an event. Staff is very pleasant and they work fast to keep the line moving. Gem in Belleville! read more

Not very eye catching but glad I went in. The Cuban sandwich was very tasty and they make a pretty mean cappuccino. The prices are a lil bit overboard in my opinion but the food is pretty good. read more

The food is good but the customer service is terrible. Several times I have been skipped over on the line or ignored and someone else attended and I think it's due to the color of my skin or my appearance. I feel super discriminated by the staff and uncomfortable. My sister says it's cuz their Cuban, but I refuse to believe it. Today I proved it, it's cuz of the color of my skin. Like I said great food, but terrible service read more

I loved the coffee and pastries here. The eclair was great and the carrot cake was nice and had the perfect amount of sugar. The real star was the tres leche cake !! This place also has sandwiches ! read more

Cortaditos - Tampa Cubano - Cuban Near Me - Belleville, New Jersey

came here for casual lunch, craving authentic columbian bocaditos, pastries, and cortadito. that is exactly what we got! their menu has so many familiar options like pastelitos and of course a cuban sandwich, but also had unique options like a croqueta sandwhich. every we had was delicious and that place was orderly and clean. I took away one star because the customer service at the cash register was a little off. it seems that they are understaffed so lines form easily. in addition it seemed like the owner was there and she kept asking the staff questions as we were trying to order. this created confusion for the costumer since you stood there awkwardly, not sure if they were ready to take your order or chatting amongst themselves. however, i will definitely be coming back to this place to get my cuban fix every time! read more

Cortaditos - chorizo pan - Cuban Near Me - Belleville, New Jersey

Came here to grab some coffee with a friend. I ordered a small coffee cause Cuban coffee is usually strong so I did not want to stay up all night, haha. The coffee was delicious, perfectly coffee and sweet enough for me. I also ordered a bunch of pastries such as guava empanada, ham croqueta, this stuff meat pastry and cheese roll pastry. The food was okay, I wasn't jumping off the walls for more, some was a bit dry but with the coffee it was a good mix. The staff was super friendly and very nice to all their customers, I can tell they have built a strong and loyal community. The reason I gave this establishment four stars is because they had some flies around everywhere in cafe and that is rare especially during winter here in NJ. Also, the garbage was overflowing and no one seemed to care that thrash was on the floor. Other than that I want to come back because I saw that their tres leches cake was a top seller as many people bought it literally every other order, small and large! It must be delicious, I'll be back for some! read more

The cuban sandwich was awesome that deserves 5 stars. But my review is about the assorted small cuban pastries. They are fresh and made to order, but sadly the filling into the pastries is sparse - mostly puffed dough. They also did not separate the savory pastries from the sweet, which made serving them a challenge when you don't know what is what. Add more filling and use separate boxes and you will easily get a 5 star review from me. My review is 3 1/2 stars to be fair. This place smells amazing when you walk in. Would come here for lunch any day of the week. read more

This is a great stop for a solid Cuban sandwich and coffee! Super inexpensive, great portions and awesome taste. But I would stick to eating here instead of getting delivery or something, and I would stick to the Cuban sandwich and empanadas. I ordered the pollo loco sandwich as delivery last week and by the time it got to be the bread wasn't crispy so it was kind of a soggy mess. I also didn't love the texture of the chicken. That won't keep me from going back though, I'll just stick to what I know I love from here! read more

Picked up a quick breakfast today from S&C and idk what was it about the order today because I have been before but it literally made my morning! I ordered a ham, egg, cheese medianoche & caramel ice coffee and it was delicious! The sweet bread was soft and warm and the coffee was just how I like my coffee, strong and semi sweet. To add to that, the lovely lady who took care of me was sweet, professional, and did not miss a beat as she was able to effortlessly take my entire order ( I ordered other items) and answer the phone! My visit literally made my day, I was raving about my meal to my husband after every bite and sip! Wish I had a pic but it was just too good! read more

The BEST tres leches cake!!!! I first had it at a Cuban restaurant in NYC and found out there located right in Belleville. There empanadas and sandwiches are also very good! The people are friendly. The space is small but does have tables for eating inside. read more

Came here a bit unexpectedly after a quick yelp search and the stellar reviews were too good to pass up. It had been a while since I've had a traditional Cuban sandwich and thats exactly what I ordered here along with a few empanadas. Both items were delicious but the Cuban sandwich was on another level, with a very fresh taste and a nice portion as well for the price. Hope to be back soon to have the tres leches cake mentioned here a few times. read more

Empanadas were delicious. Coffee was was also good!!! Highly recommend this place!!! Will be coming here more often!

Boo Boo and I came here after dinner. It's across the street from Topaz Thai. Boo boo is a proponate of dessert and all things sweet. We did a quick search on yelp and saw that they tres leche. This place is a Spanish bakery but with a café feel. They can make eleborate cofee drinks. We purchased a single portion of flan, tres leche cake and guanabana smootie/shake to-go. The desserts were average. I think they were not as fresh. It wasn't very sweet which is good sometimes. Also, I think they needed to be refrigerated to help with the freshness. My smoothie was great. Tasted like the other shakes I get from Vietnamese places. I would come back to try a sandwich or empandas. Not sure if they have wifi. Then I would comeback to write reviews and netflix. read more

I absolutely love Sweets & Cortaditos in Belleville. They're conveniently located near me, in between work and home so I can stop in anytime and I won't be going out of my way for a home style dish or dessert. I always come here to pick up a cake for any occasion but they also offer other amazing desserts, such as, a delicious moist tres Leches cake (either full cake or an individual slice), bread pudding with raisins, croissants, bread (pan), all kinds of empanadas, sandwiches like your typical Cubano sandwich or a bistec con sevoya (steak with onions), and let's not forget that cafe. Get your strong coffee from here in any style and you'll be pleased. They even have iced coffee even though they do not advertise it. They have this great chicken and mango salad that is so flavorful, they have typical Cuban soups for a rainy day or even if you're looking to have something that reminds you of your abuelas cooking, and I believe on Thursdays and Fridays they have Lunch and dinner specials of rice and beans. I'll have to get back to you on that. Love that I can come to a place that I know is clean and the food is home style to bring me back to when I was a child with my grandmother cooking for me. I miss that - but when I don't feel like making empanadas or something Latino myself, at least I know I can come here for that fix. Especially knowing they have that strong coffee I love! read more

When I lived on Mt Prospect Avenue, I liked to take a long, leisurely walk to this gorgeous Cuban cafe. Decent enough coffees, but the crown jewels were the sandwiches. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in the area. It's perfect for a quick lunch, coffee run, and they have a great assortment of -- you guessed it -- sweets and snacks! My go-to order is the cubano medianoche with a large cafe con leche with 3 sugars. They also accept contactless payments like Apple Pay & save paper by emailing receipts. The dining area is a decent size and pretty comfortable, however, not the most ideal in the winter time. Since the seating is so close to the door, you feel the cold air from outside pretty quickly after it's opened. That's small inconvenience for an otherwise good experience with Sweets & Cortaditos! read more

First time ordering from here and they didn't send my pastry's. I called to get a woman that barely spoke English and then refused to pass me on to someone that could help me instead she said it was her fault and she would Zelle me the money because there is no other way to refund me or I could come tomorrow and pick up what was missing??? Well I will never order from here again they need to make sure delivery is taken more seriously and train them to read tickets So someone else doesn't go threw this. We pay extra to get better service. ??? Still no refund read more
