Iykyk...Hong Kong style egg waffles (雞蛋仔) are the best on their own, without toppings or ice cream!…read more Puffles really nailed the authentic flavor by sourcing ingredients and importing their machines directly from Hong Kong. Growing up eating so many, my standards are pretty high. But their plain egg waffles genuinely taste like what I grew up having in HK. Even the wall art is inspired by the streets of Hong Kong, which made the whole experience feel extra nostalgic to me. I also love the little details, like how they fan the egg waffles before packing them so they don't get soggy, and even include reheating instructions on the box (350°F for 3-5 min). I heard they might be adding more Asian-inspired flavors to their egg waffles in the future, like black sesame and matcha. ＊Original Egg Waffle $6 What really sets their egg waffles apart is that they have such a nice, eggy flavor from using fresh eggs instead of mixes or powder. They're thin and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy in the center, and the hollow bubbles make them super light. The best gaai daan jai I've had since moving to NYC/NJ. ＊Chocolate Egg Waffle with Peanut Butter Cups $7.25 This one tasted almost like dark chocolate to me, and the peanut butter cups got all ooey-gooey after being heated up. It actually reminded me of my favorite egg waffle spot in HK (媽咪雞蛋仔). *They have waffle combos or you can build your own with ice cream, fillings, toppings, and drizzles. I simply went for the plain ones so the toppings won't ruin the texture of the waffles!

Got a chicken empanada and Cuban sandwich to go. I was so surprised by the hefty portion for a…read moregreat price! The sandwich was very filling. I wasn't a big fan of the bread, as it was bit doughy. However, this is a great sandwich to get especially if you want to feel full. The chicken empanada filling was nice. I think I am used to cornmeal shells or puff pastry empanada styles, so the outside for this one to me felt a bit undercooked and not as satisfying. Portion size is still good though and it's yummy.

I'm a big fan of Cuban coffee and pastries and Cortaditios is 100% worth the trip. I've probably…read morebeen here 5 times not (I go out of my way to stop here) and I've never had a bad experience. The staff here are always really helpful (I don't speak Spanish so they put up with my ignorance) and I've always been happy with the vibe of the place and the coffee and food I walk away with.

I've had their arepas and they are amazing. As well as their…read moreempanadas. Horn pastries are good too.

Went today to purchase guava pastelitos. Was told they were out but they had a different type of…read moreguava pastry. I purchased 3. Turned out 1. No guava at all. 2. Gave me a different type (coconut). Daughter is allergic to nuts, thank God I saw it before she touched it. Called to complain, owner's wife took the call. Didn't like the complaint, so she hung up on me. Great Customer Service. Avoid this place. Arcos and Lyndhurst Bakery are better options.

I think the food is a little more photogenic than it is tasty…read more Overall it's not a bad spot. They have a lobby woth seating & upbeat music. The staff here are very friendly!

I used to live in Elizabeth NJ and it's a regular thing to go to Ironbound for Portuguese food. Now…read morethere is a significant number of Brazilian offering in the area. What a treat! So I made a special trip just to get some Coxihnia. First time visiting this place and I like their menu. Light meals and snacks. At nearly 9pm I was able to get an açaí smoothie and the last chicken Coxihnia. The service is quick and the menu was very clear with self ordering kiosk (credit card only) or ordering at the counter. The vibe is young and hip. Recommended for anyone who wants to try something different!

We were looking for a late night snack. Everything was closed by 9pm. I did a search on Yelp and…read moreKing of Churros came up. They closed at 2am. The service was excellent. The order was made fresh. I ordered a pizza pretzel and churros with chocolate inside. The pretzel was soft and chewy. The churros came with dipping sauce. We got chocolate, caramel, and cheesecake dipping sauce. I would highly recommend them.

Good stoner/drunk/carb-loading food. For being the "King of Churros", their churros are actually…read morejust okay. While they come in a sharable amount and they're crispy on the outside, they're kinda dense on the inside. I've had better from my own kitchen and other places. Their pretzel game's stronger. Their Pretzel Empanadas are good and satisfying (Cheese Steak, Bacon Cheeseburger, Pulled Pork). Their Pretzel Bites are huge with a great texture and lots of sauce options (several mustards, Nutella, and more) for a small fee. With savory pretzel empanadas and good pretzels, this food is bready to be loved! ;) NOTES/TIPS: **Open til 2am Wed-Sat. In the same building as Union Plaza Diner. **Order via them directly, DoorDash, UberEats, Seamless, Grubhub or yelp.

BEST BOBA IN THE WORLD - truly honestly this review is overrr due. I've been going here for over 5…read moreyears , anytime I get boba anywhere else it can never compare to ZRolls. Years ago it started off as just rolled ice cream and I'd go atleast once a month to get just that. When they added boba I go there sometimes a few times a week... they have so many options I can't help myself. I also tell EVERYONE about zrolls. I will die on this about zrolls menu! it's also a big space they should add more seating but I usually take it to go anyways. 10/10 recommend! support this family buisness!

¡Dios mio que Rico! Quaint little coffee shop serving custom made cakes and Portuguese pastries…read more All items are winners. The empanadas are big. Two roasted chicken empanadas make for a quick meal. They take pride in the smallest details...you can tell by the coffee they serve. It is your usual americano coffee...but it is not acidic at all (like starbucks), and it goes smoothly to wash down the flan and the custard pies. I recommend the chicken croquettes (shredded roasted chicken well seasoned). I loved them.

I asked for a recommendation and the staff didn't hesitate to help with a smile. They clearly loved…read morewhat they do and treated each item with care. The shop looked well kept, and I noticed them wiping tables after every customer. I got the lemon blueberry scone it was zesty, fluffy, and had real fruit pieces. Clean packaging sealed the deal. I highly recommend this place.

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.
