    I've heard about this location from a YouTube channel and Canela Bakery was rated #1 out of any other bakery in the Newark area of New Jersey. I finally made it to try these #1 Pastel de nata and I wasn't disappointed at all. They look exactly like the ones in Portugal and the taste of the Nata is sweet but not overwhelming. The owner of the business is very inspirational and went the distance to achieve the original taste of Portugal and I absolutely love that. I highly recommend this location.

    We fell in love with Pastel de nata when we went to London and tried Cafe de Neda. After returning from the trip, we were on the hunt to find something similar here in the states. Canela bakery comes closest to London's place. Pro: Flaky crust and silky filling Not too sweet Not eggy at all (unlike Teixeira's bakery) Price Con: From the outside, the place looks like a bodega and doesn't look like a bakery. I think a little remodeling on the inside would make this place better.

    Delicious - the best pastel de nata that I've been able to find outside of Portugal.

    I always have a sweet tooth and wanted to give this spot a try. When I arrived I had to double park…read morebecause parking is terrible in this area. I walked in and was greeted. The spot was super cute. I asked the lady a couple of questions about the desserts and the one I went with is the lime pie. It came to a little under $7 for a small slice. It's a tad pricey at this location. I paid and left. When I got home I tasted and it was a tasty pie. It was the right amount of flavor throughout. I had a pretty decent experience.

    Nope.....! We saw…read moretheir Luxury Truffle Collection offered on QVC. The truffles presented there were presented as large enough to be cut in half and shared for 2. The hosts Ooooed and Awwwed over the size of them & the unique flavors and when we would normally never pay 5$ a piece for chocolate, we thought they looked like a deal given the "size" and unique flavors. [12 pieces for $59.95] What was delivered was a joke! The total weight of the chocolates was approximately 8 ounces. That made them $120 a pound. They were simply packed loosely in a shipping box, so the box of truffles was shook and shaken all the way to our house and they looked terrible by the time they arrived. So an F for shipping. And the size, well as you can see they were nowhere as large as what was presented, as some were not even large enough to fill the space allowed in their packaging! For the most part they were smaller than a Lindor truffle. So another F for actual portion size in relation to what as presented on QVC. Finally the taste.... There was none. We tries 3, and they had NO real taste. I described them as eating Play Dough...just a weird putty texture. And the killer is 2 of the 3 we tried were hollow and you could see the seam where they constructed them. Yes...a BIG FAT "F" for taste!! We tried to return them and QVC didnt even want them back... So we put them where they belonged...in the TRASH. I welcome the owners of this establishment to prove to us what they offer is actually worth $120 a pound....

    How are they actually so good? We had reservations for 5 in a booth. We ordered a branzino, shrimp…read morescampi, a plate of waffles, chips and guac, steak frites, strip steak, and some refreshing iced teas. I had the strip steak and it was done perfectly. I gave away the bananas. The guac was very flavorful - a tad too sour but still very good. The side of broccoli was done perfectly with a bit of flavor and some crunch. The spinach however was maybe the best I've had. Not sure how they made it so good but wasn't simply with garlic. I had a piece of the branzino and thought it was also tasty with a nice fried crunch. The iced tea was perfectly caffeinated but maybe a tad small. It is supposedly unlimited but I didn't take advantage of that. The restrooms were also clean. I just wish they had some lounge chairs in there. Service was fast and diner style. Get what you need and get out of there. No one was rude, but no one was overly friendly. They all did their job and a 20% tip was automatically included. No concerns but thought it would be worth highlighting.

    My favorite diner in NJ. Used to come here before the renovation and now the food is just as good -…read moreif not better! Place is super trendy inside and great service. Plates are HUGE so come hungry. I've never gotten anything i didn't like - from breakfast to sandwiches to dinner. This most recent time i tried the spicy rigatoni with shrimp. The shrimp was perfectly grilled and the pasta was amazing. Might've been one of the best pasta sauces I've had in a while (i know, i was shocked too!). Perfectly al dente pasta with a hint of Calabrian chili and some delicious vodka sauce. Don't sleep on Tops!
