I highly recommend this spot to anyone who is looking for authentic, fresh, and incredibly flavorful baked goods. Everything tastes like it just came out of the oven. Their pan de bono is absolutely delicious: warm, soft, and perfectly cheesy with that slightly crisp exterior. It's the kind of treat you crave again the minute you finish it! I've tried several items here, from their wide variety of baked goods to their hot food options, and every single dish has been exquisite. The hot meals are flavorful, well-seasoned, and satisfying. The name truly says it all - "Rico" means delicious, and that's exactly what you get. Everything I've tasted lives up to that promise. The combination of fresh flavors and authentic recipes make this place stand out. read more

For as long as I've known this place was here, I've always wanted to try it. So glad I FINALLY did! Lots of baked choices. Lots of cooked food. Lots of cakes. So much to choose from in a tiny space! I totally copied the man ahead of me and ordered everything he did. I told him I'm gonna blame him if it wasn't good but there was no need. It was DELICIOUS! So fresh and insanely reasonable in price! Even my friends were surprised when they heard the total! They have a few cafe tables & the place is clean enough to enjoy your meal. They're gonna get sick of me... im gonna be a regular now! Yummmm! read more

See all

Good empanadas authentic Mexican ladies cooking for you. Very basic inside but clean.

We've been stopping in here for years. the best Colombian food around! We don't even know what half of the stuff is called since we are not Colombian but it's delicious! The empanadas are amazing and there is a big ball with meat and other things covered in mashed potatoes and fried crispy that is a family favorite! Everything we have tried is fantastic! Prices are reasonable and people are friendly!! Go try it!! read more

Everything was so good and also the coffee was probably the best I have ever had. Real Colombian coffee

Authentic Columbian Paneteria. I placed an order for Pan de Bueno and Dulce de leche cakes and couldn't be more pleased. I'll be back for sure. read more

Come on guys, open your eyes..for the past 2 months the food has been going downhill. The girls out front do a great job but the slob in the kitchen needs to be replaced with someone who actually has restaurant kitchen experience. You can see how dirty the kitchen is from out front.. I have been coming here for at least 15 years but it is getting harder for me to get excited for your food anymore. read more

The food is delicious. This is the third year that I ordered cupcakes and a cake for my daughters birthday and every year they amaze me with the decoration and how delicious they are. I will definitely not changed them. read more

I got very sick after having Tres Leches cake from here and I plan to never go back. Shame because I liked some of their cakes, cookies not so great. Also fondly remember stopping in 10 mins before they close to grab a few slices of carrot cake (they get thrown out anyway) and the person working the counter started walking aggressively towards me and just kept repeating "we're closed" - This was 10 minutes before closing and he turned down a sale for pastries that are about to get thrown out anyway ? I was paying cash and everything. Stay safe and avoid. read more

We ate here for an early lunch today. The food is fantastic! Great Empanadas. I had chicken with rice and beans. Great value! The cheese taco is great too. Woman behind the counter spoke great English and was super friendly. I will be back for sure. read more

Stopped here for coffee and pastry on a Saturday morning before the craft fair. Delicious on both accounts. They have lots of other tasty options that make it appear To be more of a Restaurant. Worth exploring! read more

Rico Pan Bakery - Yummy! - Bakeries Near Me - Hackettstown, New Jersey

The best empanadas around, the best in the area, especially the cheese ones which they will make for me fresh If they don't have any in the display. The cheese bread is amazing, and the bakery items are good too. My coworkers and I love Rco Pan and they usually have me stop once a week for empanadas and their kick*** hot sauce. read more

The bakery is rather small but the pastries look great, the staff was friendly. Will let everyone know about how good the breakfast pastries were tomorrow. read more

Best Discovery place in Hackettstown! I highly recommend to visit this place! The empanadas !the best!!!! read more

i LOVE THIS PLACE. there's not a single thing they sell that lacks in flavor. Iv tried so many spanish spots in hackettstown and they all really disappoint and almost offend me lol. All of their food,, soups, empanadas, frijoles, rice, etc all taste like my cuban grandmas made them. SOOOO good!! and very inexpensive as well. read more

I was disappointed as I wanted to place an order for a party but they told me they didn't speak English. I went to Sizzle BBQ.

Hidden gem in Hackettstown. Empanadas, both chicken and beef are wonderful. Don't forget to ask for hot sauce. Rice and beans, tostadas and plantains are excellent sides with the chicken. Bakery has interesting and delicious breads and pastries. Skip the Sunday bagel and stop by Rico Pan. Saving the best for last. Tres leches cake. Sold by the piece, it's a slice of heavenly deliciousness. Run, don't walk to this local business. You won't be disappointed. read more

Amaaaaaaaaazing empanadas!!! The baked goods all looked incredible too but I was too stuffed to try them!! read more

Great bakery. Top notch food and service. Columbian friend recommended their empanadas although all I've tried so far is their pastries.

this place was worth every penny. I think i paid 6 dollars and got, Rice, Chicken, Platanos' and a can of coke. Does not get any better than this. read more

Excellent Coffee, always have two The spanish hot food is a great change of pace, Love eating here, wish they were closer to home read more

Great little Latin spot to grab snacks and slices of cake. Tres leches is very tasty along with the carrot cake. Been there a bunch of times already and I've never been disappointed. Last time I ordered some roast pork with rice/beans and a couple empanadas. Can't go wrong, good food, great dessert and priced perfectly. read more

Thoroughly satisfied after picking up 2 cheese empanadas, one beef and one chicken empanada each, platanos, & 3 different pieces of cake (a coconut , a tree leches, and a carrot slice). All excellent, and under $14 total. The cheese empanadas were the fried flour dough, and stuffed to the brim with salty cheese. The meat varieties were the corn type, and also loaded and delicious. The salsa was very spicy, and tasted great with the empanadas. The most delicious of the cakes was definitely the tres leches, moist and sweet. I highly recommend and would definitely go back! read more

I love this place. We stumbled upon it 5 years ago when we moved to the neighboring town and boy are we glad we did. The chorizo is a great snack and they accompany it with an arepa. Their baked goods are yummy and fresh. Try anything with guava. Mmmmmmmm. The service is always friendly as well! There aren't many good Latin restaurants/bakeries in the area so this and one other little gem we found were a godsend for us. read more

Just happened to stumble upon this lil spot. We tried the chicken and beef empanada. Both were good but the beef one had more flavor. Also had a concha for dessert. Basically plain bread with a sugary crumbly topping. Good for dipping in hot chocolate or coffee. Reminded me of Mexican concha bread. I would def recommend the beef empanadas!! read more

Best little Colombian luncheonette in This area outside of Dover. Great "sancocho" chicharrón really crispy, and interesting take on the little arepa that accompanies the chorizo. Great place, just like eating at abuela's. read more

Very good food. Staff was attentive. Place was very clean. Excellent food presentation.

The empanadas are the best. The heese and the beef are so good... even reheated in the toaster oven. Their sauce is amazing too!

Use to have to go to dover for good empanadas, then I found rico pan! They are the exact same great taste and much closer being in town.

Great little Colombian bakery serving fresh baked goods and typical prepared hot meals. Good place to pick up lunch to go. I tend to stick with the simple baked items like the conchas, pan de bono and the croissants. They make outstanding empanadas..I'm a huge fan of the both the shreeded beef empanadas in the yuca crust and the chicken empanadas in the puff pastry crust. Don't forget to ask for the hot sauce that goes with them. The strangest thing is that the most famous Colombian dish the Arepa de Choclo is only so-so. read more

Awesome empanadas and baked goods. The meringue cookies are sooooo yummy and the hot sauce they make fresh that they serve with the empanadas read more
