I'm a 90s baby and I grew up eating these empanadas, I don't remember there being that many options when I was younger, but am I glad that there are so many to choose from. I live in Connecticut, but I go to New Jersey every two months or so and no matter what I have to go here and get my empanadas. If I didn't become allergic to nuts, I would get a slice of balcarce! It's vanilla cake with dulce de leche, walnuts, fruit whipped topping and meringue. Think of a caramel nut cake with yummy bites of peaches. They don't usually sell it by the slice, but if you ask nicely, they'll cut into a cake for you. If I go with friends or family I always grab a slice because if I can't enjoy it, I at least want the people around me to have the joy of tasting my childhood. read more

I was looking forward to trying some local empanada spots and found Argentina Bakery on ubereats. Since Ubereats was offering a 40% off promotion for pick up orders, I decided to give this bakery a try. Don't judge my gluttony but I wanted to sample a variety of items. I got five empanadas: Beef, corn, spinach, cheese empanadas and the Swiss chard tart. I also got three desserts: tres leches cake, a peach balcarce and the dulce de leche mil hojas cake. I liked the empanadas but wish there was more stuffing inside. The bread ratio was a little too high for me but still tasty and I liked the slice of hard boiled egg inside for great inside texture. The desserts were very good. I liked the contrast with the cakes, toppings and fruit. There is a little no parking area in front of the shop that you may be able to park for a quick pick up but also saw a lot of metered parking. Pricing was very reasonable. It was a good experience. read more

Delicious baked goods. Sweet treats and creative alterations on classic desserts. Wonderful local spot with friendly staff and owners. Small spot and it gets very packed very quickly, but it's worth the tight squeeze. read more

Extremely cute little bakery. Their Argentine cake is phenomenal and in my 32 years I have not had a better cake. Imagine a moist sponge with layers of dulce de leche, chopped walnuts, peaches, and merengue bits. The cakes are also extremely affordable. While I'm obsessed with their cakes, I must also say that their pastries are great, especially the ones with the yellow cream on top. Now, of all the little bites, the all-star is their tuna empanada. Mmmmmmmm. All are at great prices. If you are anywhere in a 30-mile radius, make your way to Argentina bakery. read more

Nice spot to come and catch up with friends. I also love their to good to go's it's an amazing bang for your buck. Don't skimp on some fresh oj or any of their desserts read more

After having their cakes at various friend's birthday celebrations over the years I finally had the chance to visit the café in person. It is a small space, but they utilize every inch! Aside from delicious cakes and bakery goods, they sell finger sandwiches and empanadas if you are looking for something savory. I had two vegetarian empanadas (there were FIVE vegetarian options in all) that were really good and filling. The cheese empanada had a sharper cheese than what is typical for an empanada, which was a nice change and left me wanting more. The broccoli empanada was very unique and the perfect balance to the cheese empanada. The crust was flaky and perfect. The only change I would make would be to include a sauce with the empanadas. read more

Hands down the best bakery in Jersey city!! Their cakes are out of the world. Tasted them at a friend's birthday party and couldn't get over it. Their pastries, churros, empanadas are amazing as well. I wanted to get a birthday cake and I had ombre blue rosette cake in mind. Even though I called them in the last minute, they were they were so humble and got me every detail that I wanted. The cake was just how I pictured!! Vanilla cake with dulce de leche and strawberry jam- thats the best cake combination ever! The staff are so polite and friendly no matter how crowded the bakery is. Down to earth must be the right word for their service! read more

This is a hidden gem in Union City. The bakery sweets are all delicious but especially pay attention to anything that has dulce de leche, or custard, or guava. It's all so good. They also serve hot espresso, cappuccino, and Yerba maté! Their bread pudding is extremely thick and rich. They sell little sandwiches as well. I particularly find their Argentinian Empanadas (baked) incredibly special. They have several varieties to choose from. I like picking out many different kinds and taking them home and popping in my oven (or microwave in a hurry) and enjoying for snacks at home. I also like their fresh made cakes. I bought 2 for my baby shower and everyone raved over them! read more

This bakery is great! They have a mix of argentine pastries and really anything else argentine you might want. I ordered a ham and cheese miga sandwich, chicken, beef and tuna empanadas and a couple of alfajores. While the empanadas aren't fresh, they are soo good.. good seasoning and include eggs, tomato and olives - just how i love them. The miga was really good too - interesting they used muenster cheese but it was a good compliment. Really great place! read more

We got the white cake with strawberries and a cheese danish. The cake was moist and the strawberry flavor felt natural, not imitation like sometimes can happen. The danish was incredible!! read more

What Freshness! Delicious pastries A+++++++++++++++ Definitely my go to when I have company coming over read more

They don't do customize cakes. They don't do fondant cakes just cream cakes. Also, the school girls that work there do the decorations which is write "happy birthday" They were super rude to us in Spanish and English. They treated us like if we were not going to buy anything. I wanted to try their cakes and the owner told me to buy it and try it at home because I was going to take to long. read more

Unfortunately I'm one of those people that will probably hop a fence and run from a dog just to get to a place with good food. I didn't have to experience this to get to to this wonderful place but we are in the midst of a pandemic. I bought a variety of empanadas, facturas, thin sandwiches and a huge slice of chocolate cake. They were allowing only one person in at a time. Despite the circumstances the customer service was excellent and the food was worth the trip. They have beef, chicken, spinach, tuna, Swiss chard, vegetable and chicken empanadas that taste like your favorite auntie made them. Everything taste delicious and totally fresh. A true gem . read more

amazing amazing amazing delicious variety, sandwiches, tarts, milanese, service the best, customs cakes, fresh every day, facturas argentinas. read more

The 5 star reviews are fake, these are OK at best! Another thing that sucked, I ordered beef empanadas in English and they said they didn't have any thinking I was American (I'm bilingual in Spanish) and a Spanish speaking lady ordered the beef ones immediately after and they had them all along. I had to complain in Spanish to get beef ones. read more

This is our go-to holiday cake spot. The tres leches cake is incredible. We've also had the California cake and the Argentinian cake -- they are all really good. read more

The pan de leche is super traditional in that it's milder in sweetness than your average pastry. But, the Alfajores in dark chocolate honeyyy??!! To die for, especially with a black coffee to dunk! ACK. Will be back. read more

I have coming to this bakery for the last 20 years for one thing only.......their Argentinian cake. I actually never even knew Argentinians made better cake then the rest of the world. You see, I was a Dominican Cake believer, then a Mexican Tres Leches cake aficionado, and please don't get me started on a real Italian Tiramisu! But once you come here, and yes there is always a line, you will understand. There are tons of pastries, and sandwiches and alfajoras..... but focus. You're not here for that. You are here for cake. Once you bite into that first bite of creamy, moistness....you will understand. Let the flavors of peaches, nuts and spongy goodness envelope your mind. This is heaven and it only cost you $3. Come here, get a full cake, get addicted and then tell your friends, and then give me some credit on your Yelp review. You're welcome. read more

The argentinian cake with the meringue crumbs around the edge is delicious. It is a winner every where I go. I love this cake. I can honestly say this is my fav cake ever. Inside there are fruit pieces and caramel and layered every so lightly on top of each other. There is do much slightly crunchy stuff inside too... i love. Not to much cream. It's so perfect. I never got a bad one. Very consistent. Try it. Small is like $26. Worth every bite. Now the other stuff: churros are good but they have a line of caramel in it. Extra sweet.... I could do w/o it. Cookies. Um... I prefer not Pastries... some are excellent. Range $1.79 to $4. Nice change from a cake all the time but they offer pieces of the Argentinian cake if u want!!! Best of both worlds! Empanadas... make my stomach hurt. Tea & Coffee Bread... dunno never had but croissant is good read more

I've been to this coffee shop a few times and the coffee is great. However, today I had a rather interesting experience. I'm fully vaccinated from Covid-19. After the Governor removed the mask mandate I thought it was ok to walk in without a mask. The moment I opened the door one of the workers asked me to put on a mask. I didn't have one on me because the CDC and Governor said I nolonger have to wear it since I'm fully vaccinated. I apologized and I offered to show my vaccination card. The employee then offered me a mask. So know in advance that vaccinated or not, whether you show proof of vaccination or not, they require you wear a mask to give them your money. read more

I travel all the way from Bergen County once in a while to pick up a few of my favorite treats from this gem! My family has been loyal customers to this business for the past 10+ years and their desserts are always consistent. Unlike other bakeries this bakery has a good selection of desserts, mostly pastries, sandwiches and cakes. One of my favorites will forever be the Dulce de Leche with Meringue filling cake. Hands down the best cake ever, and I haven't found anything else like it so I'd recommend trying it! Now the location of this place is pretty easy to spot but the parking is horrible. Being that it's located on a busy street you'll probably have to drive around 2-3 times to find a spot nearby, if you happen to get a spot in front you're in luck. The staff at the bakery is always so friendly, bakery prices are fair, desserts are unique, what 's not a good reason to come back for more?! read more

I've been coming to this place for years now. The Argentinan cake is a must try, their dulce de leche is just made differently. Please also try the sandwiches, I always get one to go. Staff is friendly but you will need to use your Spanish. read more

Small tight space which is not good for COVID, so it's better to order online and then come for pickup. A (stray?) cat roams around inside their bakery. Most of the staff only spoke Spanish so it was tough getting an employee who could understand me. Very high prices for custom cakes but their pastries are delicious! read more

Cakes are delicious. Do not expect very good service. Had to wait 10 mins to place my order. Nobody bothered me to say that they will take my order. I wanted to see why this place is 5 stars. That's why waited for 10 mins, and was behind only two people. Again, everything I bought there tasted good. read more

Sweet cravings are the worst but Thank God Argentina bakery is just a short ride away. This was my first time here and the baked goods did not disappoint. I usually go to dulce de leche in West New York but this place has reached that level so no need for that. The pastries were amazing. I ordered the oreja which was perfectly sweet and had the right crunch. The churro with dulce the leche was really doughy a d delicious. Their tres leches has created a new standard. The maizena alfajor was the only thing that was not a success. It has a lot of dough but maybe that's their style. It was crowded when I got there so I figure it's popular spot in the area. The staff is really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back. read more

Ordered from here today for lunch. Got a bunch of empanadas. Great prices and good size empanadas. The pollo (chicken) empanadas were by far the best I've had. They have egg and olive in them. Super tasty. The cheese one was really good as well. The only thing I was was that they were warmed up and not cold. But overall really good and I will order again. read more
