So good! I had the beef arepa and chicken yucca ball. Both were extremely delicious and flavorful. Love the sauce selection. Overall great experience with friendly staff and good vibes. Can't wait to try more of their offerings read more

Food, Service, and Ambiance was 10/10. Family owned and operated this little gem is serving up some fresh and tasty food. I got the potato balls, an empamada, and a pastelitos.. everything was delicious.. I got chicken and beef. Both were tasty, but if I had to pick, I would say beef was my favorite!! They gave me one of each sauce to try, and they 2 were all good, but the nova, garlic, and Chipotle were my top 3. Service was great food was fresh and you could taste the freshness! Prices were fair. Overall, I will definitely be back! Highly recommend! read more

Nova Bakery - Shredded beef arepa with sooo much cheese! - Bakeries Near Me - Long Beach, California

It's a nice place to study and work. The music isn't too loud and the service is great. I think they should add some champurrado, tea, or coffee for those that want something for late breakfast or lunch. Parking is limited but the shredded beef pastelitos are worth stopping by. read more

Much needed Venezuelan spot! We tried different dishes, cachapa con queso, Empanada de queso, arepa, teqüeños, papa rellena, yuca rellena, for drinks we had lemonade/papelón. We loved everything, these guys are legit, everything tasted amazing. Service was awesome, prices were more than fair considering the quality of ingredients, everything tasted fresh, sauces were delicious, the place was clean and Raul behind the counter was very attentive, answered all of our questions and made friendly conversation. All in all our experience was a 10. We wish Nova Bakery the best, they deserve it. Awesome work guys. read more

Nova Bakery - Arepa - Bakeries Near Me - Long Beach, California

My wife and I just had lunch at Nova Bakery and found a new gem of a food place with some very impressive Venezuelan delicacies. We ordered the Arepa de pollo, Cachapas, Empanada de pollo, Pastelito de pollo and to top it off, a Venezuelan hamburger. Lemonade, Chicha and a diet coke were helpful to wash it all down. The Arepa was incredible! Its flavor that gets your salivary glands fired up for more. The Cachapas have a subtle sweetness of fresh corn on a bed of cheese that is smooth and delicious. The Pastelito and Empanda were good, especially when dipped in the 5 special sauces they provide at your table. Okay, the Venezuelan hamburger was a treat in itself not to be consumed by the faint of heart!...This beast boasts of a tall stack of ingredients (see menu) that make it different than any American hamburger hands down. The thick hot fries served with it make it a mighty meal fit for a lumberjack. The Chicha drink, in my opinion, is something to enjoy as an after meal delight with it's thick cold "silky-milky" sweetness with a touch of cinnamon...A non-alcoholic treat. Raul at the cash register and his team of chefs are welcoming and helpful when you need help ordering from the variety of tantalizing dishes from their home country. The place is small yet very clean and modern that helps to raise the bar for other places in downtown Long Beach...It is worth a visit for lunch anytime. We will return to try the Venezuelan Bowl and other dishes on the next visit. We are excited to find another place that serves delicious cultural cuisine prepared from folks (Actually from Venezuela!) who proudly share their country's prized foods with others.

The empanadas are FANTASTIC and the customer service is friendly and accurate! Can't wait to go back and try the potato balls and churros!

This place is really delicious. I just discovered it the other week and it might be my favorite food place in walking distance from my apartment. I actually showed up on a Saturday--doesn't open until 3--an hour early and the guy got out his Translator app and took my order anyway. Absolute legend. The cachapas are my favorite. If you have a basic American palette like me, it's like a cornbread pancake/crepe. Sweet, savory with an indulgent queso de mano and meat. Don't sleep on the Venezuelan Bowl either. It's probably not the first thing you want if you're going to a bakery, but it's a phenomenally filling meal. The empanadas were perfectly cooked. Light golden brown fried dough at the perfect temperature for your mouth. This is exactly the kind of restaurant you want to survive over the next few years. Go try it ASAP. read more

Food is amazing! This spot just opened and it's a must try! We had the chicken and beef cachapas. The chicha is DELICIOUS and the empanadas were very tasty. Service was great and ambience was very peaceful. read more

Increíble !!!la comida , la variedad en el menú pero sobre todo el sazón , de las mejores comidas que eh probado !! Muy recomendado el servicio excelente personas muy amables y atentos ! El ambiente muy acogedor !! Y limpio read more

Cute little spot, friendly staff, and the food was tasty. My friend who came with me (who is from Venezuela) said the cachapas were pretty close, and the only way to get closer was to use a type of corn that's hard to source in the US, and that the Tequeños were OK but the cheese should have been meltier, like in a fried mozzarella stick. But it's brand new and the people were nice, so we'll try it again in a while. read more

For once we where greeted very nicely, the food was amazing and fresh. The ambience was relaxing . Would definitely recommend.

We're fortunate to have this Venezuelan spot in our neighborhood. There sauce game is strong and I went in on the potato balls cooked to perfection. The service was lovely all smiles and entire cafe spotless. I'll definitely see them weekly!! read more

Clean fresh flavorful 10/10 happy to see a new restaurant in Long Beach hoping you guys thrive. The beef flavors kick it out the park. All sauces have their own flavors and are all worthy of trying, couldn't decide on a favorite because they all are packed with its own uniqueness. read more

Good food, excellent service, tasty food however the plates are a little bit small like gourmet. If you are Venezuelan you need to try this. Price I little expensive depending on what you order. read more

10/10 Venezuelan food!! I don't have Venezuelan food often, but their fresh empanadas will definitely have me coming back again for more. All of the staff was so welcoming and even gave me some Chicha to try while I waited for my food. Both empanadas were so full of flavor, and adding the garlic sauce to dip was the cherry on top! It was so yummy I HAD to order some to go for my husband to try. read more

Just found this place and it's amazing. My wife and I ordered pretty much one of everything and it was all amazing. Service was friendly and it's a nice clean atmosphere. We will definitely be back soon. read more

Good addition to the neighborhood and great staff. We have tried it a few times now and pretty much everything on the menu, though it hasn't always been consistent. I wish they had some healthier options as it's pretty much all fried food right now. It's usually a long wait time after ordering. It would be nice if they had an easy way to order online in advance for pickup. read more

The food was amazing! I had the tequenos, chicken empanadas and jalapeño cheese empanadas. Staff are very friendly too!

Altamente recomendado, la masa de los tequeños y la de los pastelitos es lo máximo. La carne mechada deliciosa. Recomendado 100%

Food is as sooo good! Visiting from No. California and wish we had something similar near me. I've tried Porto's when visiting, but the taste and quality is far more superior than Porto's. My favorite are the Arepas and Cachacas! However it was ALL so good! Potato Balls, Empanadas and the wonderful flavors of Venezuela. A must visit or a go to place if in Long Beach read more
