They call your name once your food and drink is ready. This place has an outdoor and indoor area. Honestly, if it's a nice day, you should appreciate the outdoor setting. I had the coconut latte which is similar to like a Coquito and it was very good. I swapped the coconut milk to whole milk just as a preference. The grilled cheese was decent. They were missing some cheeses by the lady behind the counter did let us know.

I also got a cannoli to split and share later too. I would have loved to try more of their various pastries (perhaps we will get to visit again sometime). My cafe latte was strong - I ended up taking it home too because I was full from the sandwich. I do wish they would have updated the 1 small menu with accurate prices (though the prices were still reasonable). Staff were friendly. Note: If you park on the main street at the cafe, there are old fashioned coin meters (for Monday-Saturday).

Staff is very nice and the atmosphere is giving warm cozy house vibes. I ordered a turkey, bacon, egg and cheese and it was pretty good. I also ordered a chai latte which was yummy! Just keep in mind the cappuccino's and chai lattes are from an automatic machine so if you don't like that, definitely get a fresh latte or something else! Overall great visit. John was very nice and welcoming!!

This is my favorite Colombian spot in town. The food taste homemade and they always have specials…read morethat include meal, soup or beans and a drink. They also have a bakery with many goodies. Its reasonably priced and the quality of food is always the same. They accept cards as well which is a plus. They do not have private parking so you will have to find parking. I definitely reccomend.

This place has awesome food. Their Bandeja Paisa is fenomenal!read more

Small empanada shop located on the Belleville Pike that I pass every day and finally gave it a try…read more I got three empanadas, one ham and cheese, one buffalo chicken, and one guava and cheese. I ranked them in that order as well. The Ham and cheese was pretty good, the Buffalo chicken was really good, and the guava and cheese was outstanding. I would love if they sold a dipping sauce too but I didn't see any. I could have missed it if there were to be honest. The service was excellent and the price was right too......under $10 for three. The parking is a little dicey, it's street only and you have to find it on the side streets. I'm glad I stopped and I will stop again on the way home to try other combinations.

My partner and I were looking for a local breakfast spot when we came across EmpaBake. Right away,…read morewe noticed the display filled with pastries and a tempting selection of savory baked empanadas. We ordered a caramel latte and a cappuccino to start, along with a ropa vieja (shredded beef) and sweet plantain empanada that we couldn't resist. Since they're baked, the empanada crust is light and crisp, with a generous, flavorful filling. It was a little on the dry side but still good. For our main dishes, I had the two egg breakfast with bacon and home fries, while my partner went for the Tres Golpes. Both plates were delicious and served in large portions. We were also surprised with a complimentary warm sesame bun, which was a lovely touch. To finish, I ordered a cortado bold, smooth, and just the right kick. The staff is friendly and always ready with the warm greeting especially for their regulars. The decore is simple but I did enjoy the large window painting. We'll definitely be back to try more empanadas and maybe a pastry (or two). Street parking only, but finding a spot wasn't difficult.

Attended a group lunch here and the food was solid…read more The restaurant was very clean and the dining area was very nice. The service was attentive and polite. Appetizers were an assortment of fried calamari, mozzarella with tomato, clams casino, etc and all were very good. I chose the chicken Marsala for an entree and it was very good. Everyone was pleased with their dinners so no problems there. Parking located in the back or there is street parking available. Would definitely come back and have dinner here. Very solid.

Saturday night and we were in mood for Italian. Parking is…read morefairly easy with a lot around the back of the restaurant. Everyone there was excellent. Couldn't have asked for better service. We started off with the fried calamari, caprese, burrata and the brushetta. The caprese was refreshing. Mozzarella and tomatoes were fresh. Roasted peppers on top were the perfect size. The calamari was a little chewy to me, the burrata could've been creamier and the variation of the brushetta wasn't my style. I like mine with just tomatoes, garlic, and basil. There was just a little unnecessary extra to it. For dinner, I got the chicken parm. It was EXCELLENT. Didn't even need a knife. You could cut it with your fork. Sauce was very good and the cheese was excellent quality. For dessert, I went with the ricotta cheesecake. Desserts were homemade. Cheesecake was creamy with ricotta mixed into the cake. Appetizers fell short in my opinion, but the main course and dessert brought the meal back strong.

You have to order their goiabinha, which is a pastry with cheese and guava inside. It comes warm and it's to die for! This time we also got the chocolate truffle pudding which is a Brazilian staple. Their coffees are fantastic too here. Another noteworthy menu item, fresh cheesebread aka pão de queijo. They sell them I believe 3 for a dollar to be sure to order a bunch they are freshly made every hour or so. Servers are super friendly and very cozy vibes inside.

Bread of Life is a fantastic addition to Kearny. As mentioned, great and reasonable prices!…read more A lot of the Portuguese cafes I go to Kearny have been bought out by different owners or somehow changed hands and I've been super disappointed with the coffee. Bread of Life really has a good cup of Joe, try it out. Tonsss of pastry options too! I've been twice and I've grabbed the same thing twice mainly because I was in a hurry but but both things are delicious. A "cloud bread" which is a super light pastry and it's perfectly lightly sweet and delicious. My second favorite is the famous pao de queijo, fresh, chewy and tasty. The ladies behind the counter are super friendly, it's a nice big spot to eat in if you'd like and there's a small lot in front of the strip mall but also tons of street parking. I'll be back to try a juice and some different pastries!
