Translated from the Spanish meaning small cut, it refers to a strong, Cuban-style espresso drink. It's essentially a small, sweet version of a Spanish cortado, and it's made with a high sugar content and a touch of milk, typically 1:1 espresso to hot milk. Located on Washington Avenue in Belleville, customers are greeted by the portrait of musical icon Celia Cruz aptly proclaiming ¡Azucar! behind the pastry counter's tart pastelitos de guayaba y queso and quesitos of the newly renovated next door to the old one with a warm and inviting vibe at Cortaditos. As my partner and I were invited for a celebration, we decided to get a dozen of the Guava Pastellitos as well as the Meat Pastellito and Ropa Vieja Empanada. These were small, flaky pastries filled with a sweet and savory filling. They are a popular Cuban treat, often enjoyed for breakfast, snack, or dessert. The meats were tasty and richly flavored. The empanadas were baked and not greasy. These guava pastelitos were a big part of my childhood. The staff were friendly and attentive. The price was reasonable for the area. For a first-timer to the new location, it won't be the last, as I can recommend it.

Vegan Cubano is nice. Typically a lot of ice served in my Morir soando. No vanilla extract added but could've been nice. Prices kinda high but fits w area. Staff might not be familiar w English but there is a toast tablet w explanations of various items. Cereal drink- con-trigo which maybe should be trigo con. Pay 20 extra for a half hour to park or come here randomly were my choices lol

Kiwi Mojito  Cold Brew Mojito

Lovely spot to stop by for a coffee! We did go here in hopes of doing work and it was super hot inside so that was the only "downside" but the service was great and the drinks were incredible. The food wasn't half bad either. I'd def come back in the winter or sometime their big windows are open!!

Guava Pastelito

Woke up hungry and wanted a café con leche and the boo wanted a Cuban pastelito de carne so I was on the search for a good Cuban bakery. Stopped by and was not disappointed. Would def return. I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich and he got the Cuban and loved it. Personally I would ask that they press my sandwich longer but that's just my preference. The chicken empanadas were delish! He loved all the empanadas so don't think you can go wrong with any. I saw someone walk out with this drink and had to find out what it was. A frozen cafe con leche. DELICIOUS. GET IT. I got it sweetened and there was an option to add a flavor. Only upset I got a small size just in case I wouldn't like but now I know. Cool little cafe/bakery with the option to sit or take items to go. Quick and friendly service.

Quesito

We walked in and everyone was very welcoming. We asked about the upstairs and they told us we could go up. The wall decor was beautiful. It was a cute set up however, the tables were left dirty and had cups from prior customers . So I basically moved them to the counter , was able to sit and enjoy my cafe con leche and quesito. They had cute little cups and the quesito was delicious. I think they need someone checking on the people upstairs or at least cleaning up. Overall I'll come back especially when it gets warmer for the little patio area they have .

Loved the ice coffee and the Cuatro Tres Leches. The Tres Leches was sweet and delicious. The inside was very pretty and they have a table setting where you can sit outside which I hope to do as it gets warmer. I learned the upstairs area was beautiful from the friends I was with but didn't get to see it yet but will do. My friend enjoyed the cuban sandwich and I am eager to try more food and drinks there. The staff and servers were also very kind. I am very happy that this is near the area I live and hope to come again for breakfast or lunch again soon. :)

I heard there's an upstairs opened, but it was closed when I was there maybe they're renovating.

I went to the beauty supply store across the street which by the way is very good. I discovered this little place and it was awesome. I am half Cuban so it was a little bit of Cuba in there. They just need to hire more people behind the counter because service is really slow. Their coffee is great. Their café con Leche is amazing. It's a must try for sure.

What I actually got and half of that top is all Foam :(
Dolly C.

I am a frequent customer at this place and have never been disappointed until today :( I ordered their frozen cafe con Leche and to say it came up short would be to say the least in all aspects my cup was filled half way without any top of dressings no whip no caramel topping nothing as pictured ! And I made sure to put my add-ons Very highly disappointed and I'm Hoping in the future that this doesn't go on because they really are one of the only Cuban establishments that serve good food! Coffee however not the best which is even sadder being that it's one of the biggest parts of our culture

I got the pollo empanada and I liked it. The service was great. And I liked the atmosphere. I loved the empanada the recipe is great. I had to run to get something fast for breakfast cause I was quite busy today & this was a great break fast. First thing in the morning. Delicious! P.s - I loved the condiment.

Sebastian H.

What can be said that already hasn't?! Great coffee, speedy service even though they are constantly packed. Love their empanadas. The quesitos (sweet cheese flaky pastry), the cubano, the croissants, etc etc. Just go and you'll be sure to ENJOY!!!

Do I have to preorder the tres leches cake?

No, they sell tres leches by the slice. If you want a larger tree leches cake you'd have to order it.

Updating my review because Warique has updated their menu for the Spring! As Chef Roberto Carnero…read moreevolves his dishes & flavors, the best parts of Warique remain steadfast. The staff is always so friendly & attentive, the decor is subtle with nods to Peru without being too over the top, & most importantly, the food remains delicious. The new menu offers a whole new set of dishes that we are excited to return & try. This time around, we tried a bunch of the new appetizers: Papa Rellena, Pulpo Anticuchero, Siwichi, & Causa de Camaron. All of which were delicious, but I think my favorite was the causa de camaron! For dinner, we got the Pollo Broaster & the Hanger Steak Lomo. Both dishes were generously portioned & we took home leftovers. We truly can't say enough positive things about Warique & wish them continued success for years to come!

Very rarely do we find one n had great reviews so thought we'd try Warique n no regrets . Hidden gem in Belleville in a residential neighborhood. Street parking was easy to find Nice quaint restaurant w a lovely ambience/ vibe. Friendly welcoming staff.

The lamb anticucho.was 2 skewers of lamb pieces in a chimichurri sauce w sweet potato mousse. Every bite was delicious n the sweet potato mousse out of this world. For entrees had the pescado ala macho- bronzino w umami butter tostine shrimp calamari n mussels every bit was delicious. We also had the Parnell - kind of stew w tomato crab, shrimp calamari . Tasted good but was hard to eat the crab pieces. And no bread or rice was offered . We topped it off with shared a flan Casera..was so delicious. Thank you for a great dinner on a v cold n blustery day inside a warm cozy place.

I had to make adjustments to the time and amount of ppl to the reservation and she was very accommodating. We had an early dinner reservation elsewhere, so we didn't intend to eat there, but they started us off with menus, instead of flowers. So we just ordered a mocktail tower and some of their lemon pepper chicken to nosh on. The drinks were a bit too sweet for us, but cute presentation, and the chicken was good. Then they brought out the "purse" vases and flowers. Justice was our server and flower instructor, and he did a great job in the duel role. We were all impressed with his floral knowledge and we all learned something new. The bathroom was clean this time, had tp and soap in the dispenser. The cute decor was the same except for the lil selfie booth which looked to have been updated for Vday and still up. Next door is their event space with lots of different selfie stations for a fee. I really enjoyed this 2nd visit and would return.

Food was dry and overpriced, then they changed more than what the menu says. We had reservations and our table wasn't ready when we arrived, we were moved twice to two different areas. We waited 30+ minutes for our food. Got the food and some orders were wrong. We ordered the flower bouquet option and winded up just taking it home because we were over the whole "experience". My overall experience was not good at all.
