Just got off my plane and this was my first time in New Jersey, so I decided to try this bakery: The bacon egg and cheese ($5.99) was honestly really good. It came on a mollete roll that was crispy on the outside, and everything worked well together. Definitely my favorite thing I got. The pastel de nata was also solid -- nice light, crispy crust with a smooth, creamy filling. The Brazilian cheese bread (3 for $1) wasn't great though. It was chewy but it didn't taste fresh, so it wasn't crispy and ended up being kind of dense. Same with the beef empanada ($2.99) -- I'd probably skip it. The filling was dry, crumbly, and didn't have much flavor, just plain ground beef. Overall, I won't be back in New Jersey anytime soon, but coming from California it felt really cheap for a local spot. If I do come back, I'd probably try a different place. read more

I've been coming to Teixeira's Bakery since I was born, and it's truly a staple of the Ironbound. There's something so special about walking in and feeling that mix of tradition, community, and incredible food. Everything is always fresh and beautifully displayed, the space is clean and welcoming, and the staff is attentive and efficient even when it's busy. Whether you're grabbing something quick to go or sitting down to enjoy a coffee and pastry, there's plenty of room and it never feels chaotic. It's one of those places that's stood the test of time for a reason -- consistent, authentic, and always delicious. read more

First time here! I'm so sad that I didn't get to try this place earlier til my last day in Jersey city. This place is huge and what's up with the production area. So cool to see the machines and so many bakeries are being prepared. I wish I had the oppty to try the soup but sadly we didn't have time to dine in. The egg tarts looked so amazing. They were delicious and affordable. Great aunties at the register with their services read more

Came in on a thursday morning and got lucky with parking as well as being there at a non-peak time. Lots of seating and space inside but kinda cramped up together. There are also a lot of freshly baked goods and sweets to choose from. I love that they have a menu list for sandwiches and soups which made ordering easy. I had their ham and cheese panini and it was so delicious despite being so simple. Their soup of the day is not to be overlooked! During our visit they had chickpea and veggie which was so hearty and satisfying! Thats what fresh homemade food tastes like! Staff was very patient as well with my questions as i was not familiar with their items aside from the egg tarts. I really wish they put names up or descriptions on their items for sale though. Anyway, we also got their Galao (Portuguese coffee-espresso and milk) which was satisfying and loved their Molete aka Portuguese bread. I hope to be back soon to try other things and hopefully be more familiar with the rest of the baked goods! read more

We were craving food that tasted homemade and we came across this place. It was Saturday morning and this place was poppin! We quickly secured a table and then got in line to order. The cashier was very friendly as she took my order. I ordered one pastel de nata, one empanada de pollo, and a cranberry juicy. My friends' orders consisted of another chicken empanada and a chicken soup. Everything I ordered was delicious! The pastel de nata was flakey and custardy - super yummy. My empanada was flavorful, crispy, and the chicken filling was seasoned well.. The inside was clean and there was a worker going around cleaning the tables as they opened up. Overall, it was a perfect meal before our 6 hour flight home. read more

This place is Portugal but in the USA. Amazing bakery with more delicious pastries than you could ever ask for and from what I saw some amazing food too. It was about 5:30 am and I wanted to go out and get some breakfast with my girlfriend and I happened to find this place on Yelp and I am glad I did too. It's a very nice bakery on the corner in a very busy area of Newark close to the airport. The place was packed at 6 am so that speaks volumes in regards to their products and service. The service was friendly and fast and everything we had was good. It was lively and well lite bakery. They have a multitude of products here too. Including cheeses and drinks in the cooler. I was super excited to try their fresh Neta Belem's since I'd never had one. Oh my were they good! We ordered: Nata Belem 10/10 Roscas Minhotas 7/10 Caramujos 7/10 Pao De Queijo Pequeno 9/10 Galao 10/10 I love this place and I'll definitely be back. I know this area has a high concentration of Portuguese immigrants and I am thankful for their baking and cooking skills. Enjoy :P read more

Met friends here for a "light" bite. Grabbed some coffee and then an array of "light" bites including. Cheesey bread, egg custard tarts, and an empanada. I then got a flan & chicken folate cake dessert. Everything was great except tor the flan cake; I found it to be too large of a portion and dry (both flan and cake). Check out the breads, pass up on this cake. read more

Was waiting to meet up with friends at EWR Penn station. Decided to take a stroll through little portugal. Came across this bustling portuguese bakery. Large cafe space. Most of the patrons appeared and sounded portuguese. The staff spoke portuguese to the customers ahead of me. My goal was to get pao de queijo and pastel de nata. the pastel de nata did not disappoint and I pickup a dozen to bring to my friends. read more

My friend and I were in the area for an authentic Portuguese dinner and dessert. I found Teixeira's on Yelp and knew immediately where dessert would be. We walked in to the flagship Teixeira's of the few they have in the area. It's large, modern, and a nice place to sit and relax. The ladies working behind the counter were all friendly and patient with a couple of guys that didn't know what we wanted to add to the obvious pasteis de nata that we would be having. We got a pastel de nata each, split a slice of dulce de leche roll, and added a chocolate covered Napoleon looking dessert. A double shot of espresso each and we were in business. The chocolate Napoleon dessert was better than most Napoleon's I've had, texturally a bit easier to eat. Dulce de leche roll was also quite good, softer than expected it also had a bit of sponginess to it in a good way. The star of the show was the pastel de nata. Crisp and buttery on the outside and decadent egg custard on the inside. Kind of dessert that makes you fantasize about living in the neighborhood and being the kind of guy that rewards himself with a daily pastel de nata and espresso. Can't forget about that generous double shot of espresso! That espresso was strong but it was also delicious! Teixeira's is an absolute hit! read more

Teixeira's Bakery - Hard to beat this dessert collection and espresso! - Bakeries Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

What a gem of a bakery! This Portuguese bakery serves all sorts of pastries, lunch item, coffee drinks, and fresh bread. Service is nice, but sometimes you will get services by employees who mainly speak Portuguese (but just point to the pastries you want and try pronouncing from the menu, so no problem). They have a nice dining area where we saw enough neighborhood people getting coffee and pastries in the morning. Aside from this, their prices are amazing wonderful! For a large loaf of multigrain bread it was $4; Portuguese egg tarts are about $1.75 each, but if you get 1/2 dozen it'll be $1.66 each. You can get steamed milk coffee for slightly over $2, and for a pork sandwich $6. Everything tasted wonderful! We will definitely be visiting this bakery every time we are passing by Newark! read more

This operation is great. It has so much going on and so much to chose from. Loved the pastel de nada, donuts, bread, and cake. Service was polite and fast. The place looks cool with an open window showing everything being made and even bread above you going through a belt. read more

I personally am not ... or should I say ... was not a big fan of Portuguese egg tarts. There is nothing special about them. Just soggy softy spongy egg too and regular crust ... Well, my whole definition of egg tarts was transformed after trying these Teixeira's bakery pastel de nata ... Portuguese egg tarts. The pie was ... the pour crust was sooooo good ... as if biting into multi-layered croissant. The texture was so pleasant that I couldn't stop at one tart. I haven't tried other pastries from Teixeiras, but the egg tarts is good enough for me to make the trip to Newark. read more

excellent all around. This is a local spot that cannot go wrong. The food and drinks are delicious and made in-house & affordable. I tried their chicken empanadas and fries. They're both really great ! If there was one comment - I would ask that they have more hot sauces to dip foods. I'm definitely coming back to try their bakery items. read more

I saw the great reviews on the pastelitos de nata and stopped by during my trip. Parking is difficult to find. I parked a few blocks away. The bakery is on a corner. It's big and has many different options for pastries and drinks. It smells like bread once you're inside. It was busy on the night that I went. They have a number system. You wait in line, order, pay, and then go sit down until they call your receipt number to pick up your order. The cashier recommended the cheese croissant and the pastelitos de nata. I ordered one of each. The wait was not bad. It took about 10 minutes to receive my order. The pastelito de nata was great. It was crispy and flaky. The cheese croissant was tasty as well. The cheese was nice and melted. I would stop by again once I'm back in the area. Definitely order a pastelito the nata if you stop by. read more

TLDR? * excellent service, environment and food * you can't go wrong with anything BUT if you're confused or overwhelmed? Ask for the soup of the day, a tosta mista, one nata and a beverage. My parents have been going here since they first moved to The Ironbound. I've been lucky enough to grow up with their amazing soup, generous sandwiches, variation of pastries, cake, cookies and bread -- which is absolutely wonderful. The Teixeira family has built their name in the Ironbound. They have always been respectful, kind, and attentive to their patrons. You could walk into ANY of their locations and feel the love and comfort in the air the moment you step in. I haven't been to the Ferry St. location in a while but growing up? Mamá and I would walk all over Ferry and we would always stop by there to share a nice bowl of soup together. I remember hearing the chatter full up the whole place, hearing the espresso machines going and the ladies steaming the milk for the galão (similar to latte, it's just the ratio that's different 1 part espresso to 3 parts foamed milk). It felt like we were at home whenever we were there. There was a beautiful system in place the last time I was there. Theres a clear line to guide you to the counter to order, if you have any question about something or are curious about what something is? Ask!! The ladies are lovely and they give such helpful suggestions. You move along the path and you reach the cashiers counter! You can take a seat wherever you like, they would bring the order to your table but if you wanted to, you could tell them at the counter that you'll come grab it if anything! read more

Couldn't believe how affordable everything was. In this day and age, you will be shocked. I had 2 small pastries, a coffee and tea for $9. Great deal. Everything was freshly baked too. Love portuguese pastries too. So many options. Spacious interior and if there is a line it moves fast. Only negative is there is 1 bathroom for the whole place. Other than that this place is a slam dunk. read more

This was a great bakery in Newarks ironbound area. Coffee, pastries, sandwiches, soup, all sorts of delightful things.

My husband wanted a small flan from this place. We arrived around 7:20pm. The bakery store hours states they close at 8pm. I knocked on the door and was ignored by staff. That is unacceptable and I was beyond annoyed. read more

I was blown away by the care the staff took with every step of the service. From greeting customers to packaging pastries, they paid close attention. The store was spotless and smelled like freshly baked bread. I had a slice of almond butter cake it was moist, nutty, and rich in flavor. Everything came in a clean box. Service like this keeps me coming back. read more

This is a staple in thr Ironbound section of Newark. One of the first Portuguese bakeries to open in this area, a stop in the Ironbound isn't complete with getting a pastel de Nata (custard cup) and some type of coffee...I usually opt for an espresso or latte! Aside from the pastel de natas there are tons of other sweets and cakes they offer. I see people one in and typically order about a dozen or so custard cups to go because they are so popular. They also serve small sandwiches and soups. My mother usually orders the caldo Verde which is a Portuguese soup served with kale and optional chouriço (smoked sausage). Now that it's hot out they also have tables outside on Ferry street in case you want to catch some sun. read more

My favorite childhood bakery. Service is always fast and friendly. Recently, Teixeira expanded their bakery space. There's ample room for a casual morning, afternoon or evening bakery treat and their delicious coffee. The bakery is very clean. Finding parking isn't the greatest, so walking a bit after finding a parking space is expected. read more

Really amazing. They have tons of space, a very clean bathroom (key on the counter near the bathroom), great sandwiches, top notch pastries, and it is all super affordable. I built a sandwich and had chicken salad on a French croissant with onion, tomato, and mustard. It was packed full, fresh, and soo delicious. The pastries are also some of the best in the neighborhood. Very satisfying. I tried some coffee, too, and while the espresso was a nice pick me up, the cappucino is a special treat if you want a sweeter drink. Theirs comes topped with a mountain of fresh whipped cream a d sprinkled with cinnamon. Bonus points for very kind staff. read more

This bakery was filled with beautiful displays of breads, pastries, and cakes that made it hard to choose.

Teixeira's Bakery - Espresso and carrot muffin - Bakeries Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Nice spacious bakery with great vibes. Lots of savory & sweet options. Friendly service.

One of my favorite morning haunts in New York City area - although technically it's in New Jersey, and past the lifeless Jersey City (at least in the mornings), where Ironbound by Harrison, NJ is bustling as people are picking up pastries, getting coffee or fresh-squeezed orange juice. The things to get here are the Portuguese and Brazilian offerings - do skip the bland, sugary macarons, and whatever passes as cake of any kind (carrot cake, pound cake, etc) and go instead for the typical Latin or Iberian breakfast offerings of empanadas, shrimp rissoles, chicken coxinhas, all of them which are amazing. And of course, the Portuguese standard pasteis de nata (egg custard tarts) as well for your sweet tooth - and with great coffee coupled with fresh-squeezed orange juice, this would be a tasty and affordable breakfast that is hard to beat. Go early as the lines do get long. read more

A very large and reasonably priced bakery that also serves great egg and cheese sandwiches on Portuguese rolls. I also tried the egg custard which were super fresh and not overly sweet. Their coffee was also tasted really fresh and delicious. The ladies at the register don't speak English really well so it may take some time to order your food but service otherwise was fantastic. They also have a ton of seating indoors and was pretty clean. Highly recommend! read more

If you're looking for some pasteis de nata, Teixeira's has got you covered! I've been here plenty of times as it was usually the main reason for stopping at Newark penn station. It's about a ten minute walk into the heart of little Portugal and I usually find a line upon entering. However, service is quick and it usually only takes a few minutes before someone takes your order (in Portuguese, Spanish or English). My order always includes a fat box of pasteis de nata and I've also picked up some empanadas, coffee and other baked goods (you really can't go wrong). The pasteis de nata have a delicate flaky crust and a delicious egg custard filing with just a hint of spice. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and pick up a box of these baddies! Obrigado Teixera! read more

Great stop in the Irondbound section of newark for some coffee, pastries and bread. The ladies here were so nice and helpful. I seen all the pics on Yelp of the custard cups and omg they didn't disappoint. They were the best custard cups i ever had. Not too sweet the custard was creamy and the cup was crust and flaky. They were addicting and I couldn't stop eating them. Not to mention i was full going there. I got a dozen ate half and gave the rest to my family. Don't hesitate to get them custard cups. And wash it down with a perfectly made cappuccino. No sugar. There was also fresh baked bread they served behind the counter. The bread looked delicious. I will have to go back to get some bread another time. Great spot covid so no dining in. But it was a nice size place to dine when all this clears. Only street parking. read more

Customer service was super nice, and efficient. The grilled chicken sandwich was on point. Wasn't a fan of the garbanzo and spinach soup.

I liked the Portuguese egg tar here, crunchy and sweet skin, and a smooth egg custard though not as flavorful custard as other shops. The cream horn was salty... Not as much a fan. A line inside but not too long a wait. They do take credit cards. Outside street parking is metered. read more

They get my order wrong 3 out of 5 times a week. Doesn't matter which person takes it.

The bakery space is very spacious. Reminds me of a cafeteria set up with plenty of seats and tables. There are plenty of Portuguese pastries and delights. It's good to ask the staff what the names are and what's in each pastry. There aren't many signs or descriptions near the food items so if you have allergies or dislikes just ask. We didn't eat the sandwiches or the soups but they did look hearty! The cappuccino was nice, sweet and strong. We didn't eat all the pastries yet, we saved some for later. The ones we did have were very yummy, cinnamony and eggy! read more

I wish I had a picture to share but it was inhaled by these ungrateful passengers of mine. I got the egg tarts. I was only able to get one bite out of the dozen that I bought. THAT I BOUGHT! I was FED THAT ONE BITE. That one bite was just magical, so it gave me something to look forward to when I got home, but once again I got one bite just one. And here I was the one to introduce this place to these selfish people. Other than this rant about these ungrateful people this was not the first time I've been here and it certainly won't be my last time. read more

Hands down the best Portuguese custard cups in the area. Teixeira's has always had the slightly crispy, perfect flakey crust and just right custard that any and all custard cups I try are compared to. Absolutely our go to spot for cups! And of course, whenever there, I typically have to try other things. Get cookies for the kids, sometimes hungry so we get savory sandwiches or pastries, cakes and cupcakes, and always a cup of coffee to go. Over the years have tried a little bit of everything and these guys/gals never upset. read more
