Some of the options on display in the case by the front door: - Empanadas (queso, carne o pollo; around $5 each, I think) -- well fried, well blotted, well filled, and well seasoned. My family eats what I'm sure is an unhealthy volume of empanadas in NYC and elsewhere, from street carts on "up." El Cisne's are some of the best we've had in a long while. - Bolon de verde con chancho (around $13) -- mashed green plantain balls topped with chunks of... "dirty pig." (Ours came with chewy diced chicharrón. :) This was my first time having bolones de verde and they reminded me of mofongo, but with a creamier, softer, moist plantain base. The fellow at the counter convinced me to get ours in platter form with a fried egg and "salad" (curtido with pickled onion and tomato) on the side, which turned out to be a total winner. Although I'd requested scrambled, the egg came sunny side up, in retrospect a better choice. Warm, liquid yolk lacquer over creamy plantains = magical! The curtido was a game changer, the fresh, acidic vegetables a perfect foil to what would have otherwise been an overwhelmingly heavy plate. And an Ecudorian hot sauce served alongside -- fairly liquidy -- was also fantastically good with everything, possibly made in house. - Ecuadorian style tamales, wrapped in green banana leaves (around $5), are available warm at the counter. The innards include from-frozen peas, carrots and green beans, a few slivers of bell peppers, and a balanced, but moderate amount of chicken or pork. The masa is (still) a bit less silky than my favorite versions for what it's worth -- but every tamale maker has their own style, and the overall effect was enjoyable. - Humitas are slightly sweet and a little denser, harder and dryer than what I am familiar with. Again, perhaps a stylistic difference. My Spanish is terrible and certainly the staff are better at English than I am at Spanish. But even if you're not a native Spanish speaker, just have some patience with communications. It'll all turn out fine. =) p.s. Would love to see prices posted by or near the food and/or on an itemized receipt.

ORIGIN: El Cisne (pronounced El - Seez - Neh) is an…read moreEcuadorian bakery named after a city in the Central American country. The bakery opened in fall 2022, and is the product of a family effort -- Jessica Rivera manages, her fiancé, Luis Alvarez, and her father, Meisias Rivera, bake, while her mother instructs how to make Ecuadorian treats. LOCATION: El Cisne is located in a New Milford strip mall. CONCEPT: Once inside, customers can get a taste of Ecuador. Complementing the bakery focus, El Cisne also offers a small grocery with Ecuadorian pantry staples that are hard to find elsewhere, such as dried purple corn on the cob, purple corn flour, and cinnamon sticks. Small bags of salty snacks, such as salted, crunchy broad beans and corn. EXPERIENCE: I never tried Ecuadorian baked goods before, but El Cisne makes it easy to be adventurous, with a beautiful wooden display case from which customers may grab items with tongs. I selected three breads, and was surprised to find at the register that my selection only totaled $4.50. Two of the items were filled with Ecuadorian cheese -- a salty, crumbly cheese that is apparently included in a wide range of dish types. Upon my second visit I came equipped with suggestions from neighbors who are from Ecuador. Dishes not to be missed include the guava-filled rolls, hot chocolate, and Morocho. Morocho, composed of dried corn, milk, sugar, and seasoned with allspice and cinnamon, is a special hot pudding/drink that takes hours to make. In the fall, look out for Colada Morada, a fruity drink associated with Day of the Dead. Nonetheless, there are plenty of familiar options available as well, such as flan, custard-filled pastries, and cakes. El Cisne is a welcome addition, as residents in the vicinity had previously been limited to purchasing cakes baked at grocery stores. TIPS: To catch a sip of Morocho you must arrive in the morning! Pair sweet with savory, such as Morocho with sugar-topped cheese empanada. Looking for something less sweet? Select hot chocolate instead of Morocho. Baked goods are ever-rotating out of ovens, some restocked more frequently than others. I suggest you ask which rolls are the most fresh, as this appears to vary by day and time. The bakery is designed for take out, but there is one cafe table with two chairs available.

There's also a gelato counter, a full bar, and lots of diner-like main course offerings available for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

However the owner is extremely insensitivity and cruel. On several occasions, I've heard him talking down to his workers and if that wasn't bad enough, he was rude to me on several occasions as well. He's very intimidating to speak to about just about anything! I've tried winning him over with logic and kindness, but he's just awful. During my last experience, I asked him to please clean the serving spoon because my daughter is severely allergic to nuts - a practice that the workers typically do before they serve my daughter's ice cream because there are other ice cream flavors that contain nuts. He nearly snapped at me! His response was that he knew what he was doing and he went on and on in front of other customers. I politely waited until all the customers walked away and tried to reason with him. I kindly explained that my daughter is severely allergic to nuts and has to carry an epipen wherever we go. Again, he replied rudely, despite my explanation and patience. He replied that he "wasn't going to kill" my kid. I was taken back! He said all this in front of my child. We both were stunned by his insensitivity and rudeness. Honestly, I wanted to simply leave and cry in my car, but I had to show face in front of my child. I walked to the register, paid for my order, and walked away. Since then, I haven't returned. I don't know who wrote all the recent good reviews - perhaps, the owner's friends and family. I'd scroll down to read all the horrible reviews because they're speaking the truth. The owner is outright careless, nasty, and has no customer skills whatsoever. Unless you want to be insulted and treated like a peasant, I'd stay away from this place.

The French toast wasn't the favorite. The crust of the brioche was a little over done, but the inside was good, especially with the strawberries. The waffles were very good. Light and fluffy.
