    Talk about bang for your buck. My picture is just a quarter of the $12 sandwich. The beef more in the well done side, if it wasnt that it would've been a easy 5 star. Best part is they are fast. If you need a quick cheap bite this is it.

    Best bakery in Bayonne, New Jersey! Try their pastries (bizcochos and masitas), everything made with dulce de leche is amazing. I'm Uruguayan and I felt like I was at my local bakery. The owners are the nicest too. Would've loved to have tried their lunch menu

    This is one of the best recent businesses to open in Bayonne. Everything is handmade, delicious, and reasonable. It's a lovely spot for sitting and talking with friends while enjoying coffee and a sandwich. I love the South American pastries. Some of them are just melt your mouth delicious. One of the absolute best buys here right now is the breakfast special. You get a fresh breakfast sandwich with egg, meat, and cheese on the bread of your choice for only $4.50 and it includes coffee. It's fresh, it's delicious, it is so much better than anything you would get at any of the chain takeout places. They have a full menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner specials as well as their pastries and cakes. The butter cookies are perfect. They opened up an ice cream stand in there with some really great flavors. There's also a takeout bar where you can grab a sandwich or yogurt to go. Everyone in there is incredibly nice and sweet. I love the place. It is obviously a family business. I wish them many years of success.

    3.5 stars (I want to…read morepreface that my review is for a single rainbow cookie, so take it for what it's worth; I just want to make sure that I have a record of it as a place I have tried.) I absolutely adore rainbow cookies, so I was thrilled to see a platter of them from the Paulanto Bakery at a party that I was attending in the area. Since there were several appealing desserts on offer, I only grabbed one of the colorful morsels, but I just found it mediocre. I felt that there was not enough chocolate around the edges and the coating that was there seemed more like light, milk chocolate than it did like the traditional rich, dark chocolate. I also thought the cookie would have benefitted from more almond paste or even a dedicated layer of marzipan. With that being said, it was very fresh and had the perfect consistency. If I see them again, I will gladly give them another try.

    I visit this local bakery many times I would say a number of five times minimum and every single…read moretime I get a different experience with their cake slices. The first time was during the pandemic and it was understandable why they would close early and why the baked goods weren't up to expectations, however, the following few times afterwards were a hit or miss. Sometimes the cakes were overly too sweet to the point where my teeth hurts. But maybe that's just my preference so you can discard. You might love sweet sweet cakes but sometimes it is the perfect sweetness. However, the one thing that I find difficult about the bakery is the level of freshness. It's a gamble! On 3 different occasions I have asked the counter girls (who are all very nice btw) if the pastries were baked the same day. Out of the 3 visits there was a young lady that was extremely honest and told me which was made today and which was baked yesterday. I appreciated her honesty, and at that visit, the cakes that were baked same day were delicious, fresh and soft totally 4.5 stars. However, the following next few visits it wasn't that great. I would ask the same question and another young girl would answer it was all the same day which is not true because out of the slices I bought (and four cake slices this past week) only half were very soft and fresh. The other two were stale and some of the cream was sticky. I mean is it annoying that I ask ? Sure. But if it was all baked same day and have consistency I wouldn't need to ask all the time. I keep coming back hoping I get fresh cakes every time. I do love that they close at 9 PM so if you are very desperate for something sweet, then they are the spot to go to. Otherwise, this place is a gamble, hit or miss, which is unfortunate because I live so close to here, I can always walk down the street. The store itself is efficient with many counter assistants, fast service, they take card or cash and the prices are very affordable. No places to sit but it's alright. Unfortunately I didn't finish any of the slices in photo. $18 down the drain. Maybe I'll get better luck next time.
