    Crispy Chicken Cesar
    Tatiana A.

    Loved this place so much! I am a softie for cute cafes that have a tasty menu items. My friend recommended this location and I had to give it a try. The cafe serves up authentic Portuguese cuisine as well as traditional menu items. My friend and I arrived around 10:30 am and it was already full which is a good sign to me. My friend and I decided to order two meals and split so we ordered the crispy chicken Cesar sandwich and the Juan's which is a chicken shepherds pie (they have a beef option and veggie option). Both were amazing and so flavorful. The chicken Cesar was the best sandwich I've had so far! We also ordered an açaí shake and I also ordered the pineapple Mint (added sugar). Ambiance was super modern and loved the color and details. It is a medium sized location but super worth the trip. Staff was very friendly as well and attentive. I didn't get a chance to try the dessert but they looked fantastic. Can't wait to be back.

    Came across this cute coffee shop/cafe driving up and down the avenue and have always wanted to stop by. They've really decorated for the holiday season with a huge snowman and cute decor outside and inside. They've even customized a winter menu and I ordered the Christmas cappuccino that came in a festive snowman mug and sprinkles on top. Tasty too! Inside they are going for a French bistro like feel with cute tables and chairs. I dig it! They offer a mix of Portuguese and Brazilian savory snacks, pastries, small bites, and meals. We ordered the Brazilian empanada with shredded chicken and cheese and it didn't disappoint. The volcano carrot cake with chocolate was great too. The server was super friendly and was quick to recommend some of the customers' favorite orders so I recommend stopping by and enjoying this gem if you're in the Kearny area.

When I needed to plan for my daughter's birthday, it was a no-brainer. Kaylyn was super communicative and helpful; I sent photos of my daughter's party invitation and she did the rest in terms of design. It was simply spectacular! Gorgeous beyond what I could even imagine. She was also helpful in discussing amounts (size of cake, amount of cupcakes, servings and leftovers) to make sure we had plenty without overdoing it. She never tried to get me to order more or spend more, which I respected. The morning of pickup, Kaylyn sent me abundant photos and videos of the cake and cupcakes and I was blown away! She was flexible with pickup at her house, provided cake cutting instructions and storage tips, and made the whole process easy. We received a ton of compliments at the party on how gorgeous the cake and cupcakes were, and the flavors were a hit! As delicious to the tummy as they are to the eye! I will definitely be using Sweetcheeks for our family parties going forward!

    A friend of mine ordered a cake from Mommy's, and I had a slice as we celebrated a friend's…read morebirthday. I wish I had taken a picture of the cake but I wolfed down my slice so fast! The cake was a dulce de leche and pineapple flavor, and it was fantastic! I had never had these two flavors together, and it was wonderful. The cake was very moist, fluffy and soft. I really enjoyed it and would be happy to order a cake or dessert from there in a heartbeat.

    Stopped by after having this on my to-do for 2 years. When I called, the woman was very pleasant…read moreand informative when I asked if they sold slices of cake telling me yes and that they currently have so I can feel free to stop by. -$4 per slice, slices are on the larger side -cake: decent amount of top frosting (frosting is my fave) but a little thin on the sides. Frosting was fresh, fluffy and not too sweet. Cake had good flavor. It was light and fluffy so didnt feel like traditional Dominican cakes which are rich and denser. The filling was dulce de leche mixed with pineapple- a first for me as places usually have either dulce de leche alone and pineapple alone. It was a bit sweet as I usually do pineapple since I find dulce de leche in Dominican cake too sweet of a combination. -As of 03/2022, prices are: $4 for a slice $35 for 1/2 lb cake $60 for 1lb cake Overall good general cake (okay for a Dominican cake) at a decent price.

    Edit: I want to note that the comment below says pricing is reflected online. I just wanted to…read moreinclude some screenshots of the website to show that nowhere does it say writing a "happy birthday" on the cake and adding basic piping to the edges is going to cost $45. I still believe that should have been disclosed upon ordering. I want to start by saying that the staff was very kind, and both the ordering and pickup experiences were pleasant. Everyone I interacted with was nice, and I do want to give them credit for that. That said, the cake itself just was not very good, which was the biggest disappointment. We ordered a vanilla cake with Oreo filling for my son's birthday, and unfortunately it was dense, overly sweet, and overwhelming. I didn't see a single person finish their slice, and those who did take a bite to see if they wanted their own decided against it. We ended up cutting only about 10 slices, and more than half the cake was never even cut (and thrown away). For a cake that ended up costing $220 for 15-20 people, I expected something much better. I also did not realize until I saw my credit card statement the day of the party that the total was that high, and I was not told that the basic decoration/name would add another $45. I understand they are covering themselves by saying "may include fees" but for the basic cake If the cake had been expensive but delicious, I would have felt differently. But given the taste, the amount that went uneaten, and the lack of clarity around the final price, I would not order this cake again.
