I have to give Scala Pastry five stars because they make my favorite New York style cheesecake…read moreever. I am not exaggerating! The other cookies and desserts are great, and the prices are very reasonable, but the cheesecake is what will keep me coming back. It's creamy and rich, not too sweet, nor too heavy, and available as a full cake or miniature servings. For years and years, my aunt and uncle always got cheesecake from here when I visited. Unfortunately, the pandemic forced us apart longer than anyone would've liked. I kept saying 'I wish I knew where they got the cheesecake.' Finally, I asked for the name and visited when I was in town. Wow! More than five years later, and the cheesecake was just as good as I remember. I also picked up a struffoli and some assorted cookies. Next time I'll try a hamantaschen, too. And, of course, the cheesecake will always be my go-to dessert here.

So far I have eaten just three items from here, from one visit. The croissants and chocolate…read morecroissants were excellent! They had a perfect buttery flavor and an airy flaky texture. Five stars for the croissants! The baguette was freshly baked but a disappointment. It was too soft and didn't have the crunchy crust that a baguette must have. The woman at the counter was very frustrating to interact with. "I would like a baguette please." She gives a blank look. "A what?" "A baguette." "Like a pastry?" "No, like a long loaf of bread." "I don't know if we sell that. Wait here." She goes in the back and returns. "It's baking right now." "Ok. I'll wait, and I'd like chocolate croissant with a cup of coffee please while I wait." Then she puts two plain croissants in a bag and rings them up. Makes no move to pour coffee.

Pero para mí el encanto de esta panadería es ser recibido con una sonrisa y un "¿cómo estás?" y solo uno con una mujer, la anfitriona/camarera, hablando en español con mi amigo y en inglés conmigo. El fin de semana. Una muestra del cielo.

Great bakery this tiny chain is awesome. It brings me back home…read more They have excellent Colombian goods, and I come here whenever I'm in the mood to indulge they're fantastic. The place is small but inviting. With a little fixing up, it could become a very cute café-style bakery. The service is just as good. They speak Spanish, which makes it easy for me to communicate something that's helpful to keep in mind

A tip before you go: it's cash only! They have an ATM there as well, probably charges a small fee…read more I'm surprised to see the negative reviews! We were driving through and stopped by because I love Columbian empanadas and figured they'd have them at a bakery. Ended up leaving with pandebono (a type of cheese-filled bread), lenguas (Guatemalan name, long type of crunchy bread), champurradas (disk-shaped), beef empanadas, conchas (soft bread with icing), and arroz con leche. Annnnnnd.... a bandeja paisa. Tried the pandebono while I waited for my paisa that I got to go and absolutely loved them. They were a fresh batch and were soft, slightly sweet, with a hint of cheesiness. I ended up getting more to take home. The empanadas weren't bad! On the small-medium side, but had good flavor and seemed fresh as well. The arroz con leche i as also great and fresh, tasted like my abuela's and was as awesome. I haven't tried the rest of the bakery items yet, so hopefully I'll remember to update this when I do. So when I asked what the size difference between the mini bandeja paisa and the regular were, she shrugged and said not too much of a difference. So of course, I got the bigger one. Ten minutes later, she pulls out a whole TRAY, hefty and full of food. $15 is not bad at all, as other places I've been to typically charge $17+. This thing could feed two people, honestly. The food was well seasoned, not too salty, and generous. The chicharrones. we're great and you get a whole plátano for the maduros! Totally worth it and might have convinced us to come back. Overall, from what I can tell, pretty good eats! It's small inside and we went around 2:30 so it wasn't busy, but I imagine you'd probably have to get stuff to go if they're busy, probably less than 10 seats unless they bring out some folding tables when it's busy. Staff was super friendly and the service was quick and easy. Looks like they also have Guatemalan, Costa Rican, and El Salvadoran food on top of the Colombian. Worth a try!

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!

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.

The flavor is reminiscent of a chocolate snap cookie, but it's light and soft, slightly crunchy, and then you get to this heavenly ribbon of caramel in the middle. OMG, it really hit the spot for me.

This was a lovely hometown cafe that I discovered during my business trip to Edison New Jersey…read more It's more of a bakery than an actual cafe, however they have it set-up very nicely and there are plenty of places to sit and enjoy. They offer a vast selection of cakes and pastries, and I had my eye on the coconut tres leches that looked so scrumptious. It was kind of priced a little bit out of my budget today, and I instead got the gourmet chocolate cupcake. I also ordered a homemade iced tea to go with the cupcake, and they both were very delicious. The service was good and the person behind the counter helped me with a smile. This place is for sure not your typical cafe, and it's really geared for short stays. It's beautiful j side and I would definitely recommend it here whenever you are in the Edison or Metuchen area.
