We were staying at an airport hotel nearby and happened across Alkazar Bakery. I don't want to be…read moredramatic, but I will be thinking about these pastries for the rest of my life. Living on the west coast, I had never had anything like it. We tried 2 empanadas, beef and ham and cheese and also a bizcocho rolled in sugar which was fresh out of the oven. The empanadas were seasoned perfectly and the crust was flaky and tender. The bizcocho pulled apart into flaky, warm layers. The exterior had a beautiful crunch to it and it was really perfection. I paired it with a cappuccino which was delicious with a sprinkle of cinnamon. The staff was so sweet and gracious, taking the time to explain the pastries to me in the midst of their busy morning.

I've been coming here for many years. During the pandemic that lasted 3 years, I haven't been here…read moreuntil now. I ordered 2 cannoli, 1 small cuban bread, 4 pastelitos de carne (meat patties which are small round phillo pastry with a Cuban style meat filling, topped with a sugar glaze), 1 rice pudding and 2 Cuban sandwiches. The cannoli tasted great. I ate 1 of the pastelito, tasted like I remembered. All these items cost $33. At home, I ate 1/4 of one of the Cuban sandwich (which I couldn't finish) and noticed the pernil (roasted pork shoulder) tasted bland. It felt like something was missing. I opened the sandwich and there is Swiss cheese, ham, pernil, and a sliced pickle. I didn't see the mustard and it was not buttered. I removed the pernil, adjusted the flavors by cooking it in garlic butter, adobo and a little sofrito. I placed it back into the sandwich, along with some mustard on the bread and extra sliced pickles. Heated it in a pan with some butter on the bread. Now we're talking about having an authentic Cuban sandwich. The cannoli and meat patty tasted spot on, but not the Cuban sandwich. Overall, the counter ladies were nice, attentive, food was very fresh and tasted good. Except for the Cuban sandwich that needed to be modified.

Park out front, or on residential streets around the corner. Get fresh daily baked baguettes, French boules, Italian breads and rolls, and whole wheat loaves. Especially known for their hamburger and hot dog rolls, or "longs" as they are called, sausage and pepperoni breads, and ring-shaped pizza breads. Also, butter croissants, sfogliatelle, and Italian cookies. Also cheesecakes, cannolis, tarts and other pastries when the baker is so inclined. They also sell fresh pizza dough. The people in the shop are kindly, and prices are cheap. Walking in here is like a time warp which takes me back to my childhood. My aunt and uncle lived a block up from this place, and one of my earliest food memories as a kid was summer cookouts in their backyard. My uncle made great Newark-style deep-fried Italian hot dogs w/peppers & onions on these rolls.
