When I walked in my eyes scanned the numerous pastries and some very colorful items and before long an employee asked me if she can help. She was attentive! I asked her if the pudding cup was arroz con leche which she replied it was coconut pudding. Although, I could not really eat much, I took the pudding so I could taste it and rate it. It cost $2.25 and came in a small cup with cap. Delicately sprinkled with cinnamon the coconut pudding was quite delish and smooth! Had a nice coconut taste and smell with tinges of cinnamon hitting the tongue. The pudding was silky, and cold at the same time. Too bad I couldn't sample anything more from this bakery! I noticed a lot of breads in various single serving sizes and some look like they contain sweet toppings or fillings which triggers instant salivation for me. There are also some very colorful jello cups, flan, single slices of cake and other pastries inside the pastry counter. Outside Primavera Bakery is a hot Flamingo pink color! This bakery sits on the corner of the street and the eye catching color will draw you to take another look. Don't only take another look, but do take a leap in and try some of the baked goods inside! There are several tables where locals hang out to eat too! read more

Very prejudice. I watched many other people enter, get served, and leave. I am very hungry, but haven't been greeted and she walks by. I was laughed at by other Spanish customers who obviously see I speak English (assuming I don't understand them). I can usually get by with limited Spanish-- but they are prejudice and their loss. I won't come back. Yelping seemed to help; tacos are on their way. Photo soon. The tacos were delicious but still was so rudely treated. Updating: I probably would return and bring a Spanish speaking friend. I saw another customer get served a sugar coated fresh jelly donut. I want one too. read more

Primavera Bakery & Luncheonette - Tacos. Wasn't asked for any preference. Charged 8.00 for two ground beef tacos. - Bakeries Near Me - Perth Amboy, New Jersey

Was looking for a Portuguese place to celebrate my friend's birthday. We didn't find it in Perth Amboy after all. But since that's where we thought we would, and I was there first, I walked around the corner and happened upon Primavera. Very nice! It's a little authentic place where you can't possibly expect to get by without knowing Spanish. I tried, I pointed to a couple of things, and got a couple of desserts to go for the birthday celebration. It worked out. They were able to help me find what was sweeter vs. less sweet and patient while I looked (they helped other customers but I motioned for that, and came back to me when I was ready). It is some wonderful Latin American fare on par with anything near me, very reasonable price, easy access, and brings life to the neighborhood. If you're considering a place that says it's Portuguese, you'd rather be here at a fraction of the cost, way better atmosphere, and more authentic to its name. read more

Delicious traditional Hispanic pastries at a affordable price. I love old school business like this!!!

Good food, bad service. If you're not a man don't bother going as they serve them first to get their tip and laugh when you call them out.

This place is so charming. I took the NJ Transit from NY Penn Station to Perth Amboy Station at 7 AM one September morning, Hungry and tired, I wandered around town before settling on this quaint bakery. While I only ordered a small coffee, it was perfectly roasted and a definite pick-me-up at $1 for a cup. The bakery treats looked delectable and fresh too. Although this place is not perfect (I noticed a cockroach roaming the floor), the restaurant makes up for its imperfection in its character and spirit. I noticed bakery workers chatting happily with community patrons, many of whom looked like they visit the bakery on a regular basis. The bakery was buzzing in activity even early in the morning, which is a good indication of the quality. read more

This is probably the only Spanish bakery I've been to in the area. My mom has been here more than I have, but when I came with her around Thanksgiving, we got plenty of pastries and bread. We bought bread, tembleque, flan, guava pastries, and a pineapple-filled cake for my mom's birthday. Everything was delicious. The tembleque was my favorite & I definitely wish I had bought more. The bread was great, especially when you warm it up. They'll do it for you, but I wouldn't recommend that unless you plan on eating it right away. I'll definitely be back here next time I'm up there. read more
