They have 12 different toppings listed in the menu as well. We ordered a milk tea and a fruit tea from here. Prices were decent for large and medium size drinks. Took the barista only a minute to prepare the drinks. The service was quick. I loved the flavor of my fruit tea. The jelly and the bobas were fresh and super tasty. I have always liked their drinks, so was very happy to see them opening a store here.

I ordered a mango refresher and it was delicious -- super refreshing and clearly made with care. I also grabbed a donut, which was fresh and tasty. They have a great variety to choose from, so there's something for everyone. Coffee lovers, you're covered too! The only downside was the cleanliness inside. A few tables still had wrappers and receipts on them, and with the number of staff working, I expected the dining area to be a bit more maintained. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely something that could improve the overall experience. Still, I'd come back for the service and the sweets!

This was my second time at their Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) location, and it continues to be a wonderful airport find. The service is very quick, and the staff is always warm and kind. I love their avocado toast. The gluten-free bread is amazing, and the feta is a great addition. I always add a poached egg. It makes for the perfect breakfast before a flight. The café itself has limited seating but I haven't had trouble grabbing a spot either time I've been. It has a cute atmosphere, and it's a great convenient stop when you want something quick but still fresh and high-quality, particularly for an early morning flight. They also serve cocktails at this location, which I haven't tried but I'd think are tasty based on Bluestone's specialty drinks. I stuck with a simple cappuccino this time, which doesn't disappoint. Definitely my favorite place to grab breakfast at EWR!

The previous location sadly and quickly went out of business, and was an ice cream parlor and Guatemalan restaurant.

Order the shuco! The shuco is a Guatemalan style hot dog served on toasted bread, with guacamole, cabbage and mustard and is unbelievable!

Yum! Unexpectedly good macarons from a stand at Jersey Garden Mall…read more.. I was here late June with my little cousin who with her sweet tooth, of course requested me to get some. All the macarons, lined up by flavors and distinct colors, looked good but you can never tell if its too sweet or too artificial. Fortunately, there were samples and with easy convincing from my cousin, we purchased a half dozen for $15. We got several flavors including Red velvet, strawberry, lemon, rose, chocolate-lavender, and others. I only got to try the red velvet, strawberry, and lemon and the rest went into my little cousins's bag for later. Of these, they were all soft, flavorful and not painfully sweet. My favorite was the red velvet, which had more of a crumbly cake texture but was still amazing. I was told that the actual store will open up in the mall soon and I am excited to try the other flavored macarons next time. Maybe I'll buy my own box so that I won't need to share haha

Another day, another trip to EWR!…read more It was lunchtime at Terminal 3, and the Starbucks line was too long. I had an hour to kill, so I decided to switch things up and try something different. That's when I stumbled upon Zaro's. The line was way shorter, and you can either order at the cashier or use the self-order kiosk. I went with the kiosk because, obviously, I needed time to properly view the menu and I didn't want to be rushed! I got the matcha + an everything bagel with a cream cheese schmear. The matcha... I should've known better. It was way too sweet and didn't really taste like matcha. Definitely not my favorite. BUT THE BAGEL?! SO GOOD. Soft, chewy texture and they did NOT skimp on the cream cheese. The schmear was generous, which is exactly how it should be. There are a few tables, but most were unavailable when I went, so I'd probably recommend getting it to-go if you're in a rush. Final verdict: Skip the matcha, get the bagel and probably try the coffee (?).

All items quite expensive, as expected in airport. When I ordered coffee, I specifically asked if…read morethey had stevia sweetener and was assured, yes they did. When I finally received my order and inquired for the stevia they told me to take sweet n low. That was the ONLY option. There was an empty section for another type of non caloric sweetener-who knows what type?? I find it difficult to believe that midday in an airport terminal coffee and bakery shop they have no other sweetener and think sweet n low is an acceptable substitute for stevia? I requested a refund and requested they provide this information of outside to initial order taker but she just shrugged her shoulders. Thermal A is very cute and modern in general , but this is NOT a recommended experience. Avoid

An acquaintance of mine on YELP kept posting these DELICIOUS photos of a number of different pastries from this bakery that I just had to see if they tasted as good as the pictures.... and trust me, Alkazar Bakery did not disappoint! The bakery is full of delicious Uruguayan, Argentinian, and Peruvian cakes, cookies, and pastries. I decided to order a dozen bizcochos (sweet bread), three I ate right there in the shop and the rest I took home to my family! The bread itself is so sweet and savory that it's flaky exterior literally melts in your mouth! Inside the bread, you can choose from a variety of fillings, my favorites being ham, caramel, and guava and cheese! The caramel bizcochos might be my favorite thus far, for in addition to the caramel filling the entire bread tasted like an anisette cookie! Absolutely scrumptious!! Even the plain croissants cannot even be described as plain... I've just never tasted a bread so loaded with taste all on its own. I must add, that Alkazar also serves fantastic coffee. I usually drink my coffee black or with a splash of milk, but since I was at the bakery I decided to go all (milk and sugar) and it was nice and hot...and sweet just like the pastries in the shop! I have no idea what kind of coffee beans they use, but frankly I don't think it matters. It's that good! I believe it is also worthy to note that the bakery itself provides a very warm and relaxing atmosphere to just sit and enjoy your coffee or pastry. They have a decent amount of seating for a bakery, beautiful mirrors and colorful lights along the walls, and phenomenal customer service. I walked into Alkazar not even knowing how to pronounce "bizcochos" but the woman behind the counter was patient and kind.I wrote down "bizcochos" and she just smiled and knew exactly what I wanted! She then told what was inside each bizcochos, and made small talk with me about the weather (it was freezing that day!!!), and made me feel right at home. Random odds and ends- The prices are extremely reasonable. There is plenty of street parking along with a small lot only for Alkazar customers only. The restrooms were CLEAN, and they are open to 6pm every day except Sunday! That's pretty good for a bakery. Most close around 3 in my area. I've always enjoyed pastries, from your standard danish to baklava, but I've never tasted anything like the bizcochos I had at Alkazar. This bakery is truly special and I will be back!

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.
