Front of the house is more restaurant but in the back is a library/sitting area where you can read a book you brought or one that they have available (see pics). I had a cafe con leche and it was perfect as it came. Also I had the shashuka. I don't eat runny eggs but they kindly scrambled my eggs. The tomato sauce was delicious and it comes with bread. I also got a side of bacon. The staff is really nice and I was able to sit and read. If you are ever looking for a really accessible spot near the train station to eat definitely stop here.

Everything is always fresh and beautifully displayed, the space is clean and welcoming, and the staff is attentive and efficient even when it's busy. Whether you're grabbing something quick to go or sitting down to enjoy a coffee and pastry, there's plenty of room and it never feels chaotic. It's one of those places that's stood the test of time for a reason -- consistent, authentic, and always delicious.

Loved the vibe here…read more Had a business lunch here and honestly it was a great choice. I can't take credit for choosing it. A super comfortable, not too loud or busy atmosphere. I got the Matcha pineapple juice and a Cesar salmon salad. The dressing was super different. It was a tomato Caesar which I've never encountered in the wild. That was absolutely delicious. I'd love to stop back and try some other things. If you're around here you gotta check it out.

Food we ordered was pepper bacon sausage omelette and pepper bacon sandwich, bacon egg and cheese sandwich and some potatoes. All were good! No complaints at all. The sausage was tasty!

Overall a great cozy place that you would miss since it is in an industrial place if you weren't paying attention.

I give No Pão 100 Reservas a visit almost every time I am back in NJ and it has yet to fail me in any way, shape, or form. It's honestly difficult tailoring your order here, because although the menu is quite short - almost each and every item is bound to leave you a happy customer when you walk out that door. The menu is updated on a daily basis and is often listed on their Facebook page, so keep an eye out for that if you'd like to know what your options are prior to arriving to a reservation/walk-in. A few must haves when you visit: - Rissois de Leitao (Fried Pork Empanada/Turnover) - Leitao (Suckling Pig) - Dobrada (Tripe Stew) - Bacalhao com Natas (Bacalhau in Heavy Cream) - No Pão Soups of the Day are also super delicious! All in all, you must give it a try if you are in the Ironbound. You won't regret it!

It's about an hour and a half drive from Philadelphia, but it's always worth it. I ordered the General James Honey Fried Chicken for the table, and oh my goodness, it was delicious! The four jumbo wings came out piping hot and so crispy! We poured the sauce over the chicken after putting it on our plates, and the combination of that crispy, hot chicken with the sauce was absolutely delicious. Definitely something I would order again! For my meal, I had the brisket grilled cheese with its delicious combination of cheeses and French onion soup. One of my dining guests ordered lamb with mac and cheese and spinach. I tasted the lamb, and it was incredibly tender! They also raved about the mac and cheese. Another guest ordered the oxtail Rasta pasta, which I sampled, and it was absolutely delicious. Another enjoyed waffles, and we also tried the cornbread with strawberry butter. I appreciated that the cornbread was lightly sweetened and not overly sweet. The lavender lemonade was another hit, with just the right amount of sweetness. What I really appreciated was the hospitality. Because we were traveling from Philadelphia, traffic was unpredictable. The staff graciously allowed me to adjust our reservation while waiting for my guests to arrive and seated us at the next available table once everyone was there. That was greatly appreciated! If you're planning to visit, I highly recommend making reservations in advance. For larger groups, call the restaurant directly and plan as early as possible because they get extremely busy. They also have a separate takeout area with seating where you may be able to order and enjoy your food if you don't have a reservation. Overall, my Philly Tastemakers guests rated their meals 10 out of 10! Everyone enjoyed their food, and I was happy to introduce them to one of my favorite dining spots. The hot latte and Bottled Shirley Temp Tops Diner, you did it again! Great food, wonderful hospitality, and another memorable dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

So I made a special trip just to get some Coxihnia. First time visiting this place and I like their menu. Light meals and snacks. At nearly 9pm I was able to get an açaí smoothie and the last chicken Coxihnia. The service is quick and the menu was very clear with self ordering kiosk (credit card only) or ordering at the counter. The vibe is young and hip. Recommended for anyone who wants to try something different!

We (two) started with delicious lattes, and then shared the great shrimp soup, a lovely omelette with several add-ons, and a fresh salad with several add-ons. I liked table #10 for the view of both rooms & the action. Nice looking clientele & flow, and clean rest-room. I picked up a couple of brownies, to go, (already wrapped for my grabbing convenience) for my house-mates. Nice a al carte build-your-own scenario, but all that adds up! (Computerized from the table to the kitchen, so there were no mistakes [although they need to update the prices on the (good-looking) website]). I am ambivalent about the "gratuity" [sic] (for table service) being added in (but I wanted to [did] give more than the 15% anyway). I live a little in the past about prices and "worth." It's a little more $ -- but nicer/better -- than a diner (so it was a more special / treat). I think that they have a pasta special on one day of the week... feijoada on another day... and "brunch" on Sundays. I really enjoyed the whole experience--and definitely plan to return...!
