Just excellent. We had an excellent experience here, and will 100% be returning. The storefront is clean, well-kept, and well-designed and staff are friendly, kind, and courteous. They offer several excellent choices ranging from coffee to sandwiches. We opted for a hot cafe con leche, a tres leches cake, and beef jerky pastalitos. Cafe con leche: I would return for this alone. One of the better Cuban coffees I've had in a while. I used to work in various areas where the was an abundance of choices for good Cuban coffees, and this rivaled them all. Strong, flavorful, and delicious. Will 100% get this again. Tres leches: moist, flavorful, sweet, and delicious. This is one of my favorite cakes, and this one did not disappoint. Pastalitos: the beef pastalitos were incredible! Sweet, savory, flaky, and lots of filling. You can't go wrong with these! Prices are fair for excellent offering available. We will 100% be returning, and REGULARLY! read more

Stopped by while visiting the American Dream. The customer service was very good and staff explained everything perfectly. Best part is it wasn't overly priced like most mall drinks. We ordered the following: Tres Leches latte: 10/10 very good. Made fresh everyday, same for cakes. Strawberry mojito: 10/10 the best non alcoholic mojito I've ever had. read more

I've visited Cortaditos multiple times while at the American Dream Mall, and while the service has been consistently mediocre, the quality of the coffee and pastries keeps bringing me back. The staff isn't particularly attentive or welcoming, and service can feel indifferent at times. That said, the coffee is rich and flavorful. The guava pastries were my fave and always fresh and delicious, making them the highlight of every visit especially when paired together. If you're looking for great coffee and pastries, Cortaditos is worth a visit; just don't come expecting exceptional customer service. read more

Amazing coffee, but passive aggressive service. Would be back for the coffee, though. read more

Coming to Cortaditos is like a tropical island visit. Their kiosk is beautifully decorated, the service is always cordial/helpful, and looking at their nostalgic decor is emotional. During today's visit, we ordered two fantastic drinks: The Frozen Cafe Con Leche and an Iced Tres Leches Latte. Both were exquisitely sweet and both were the perfect selection to go with the following pastries: Quesito (cream cheese pastry baked to golden perfection and topped with a layer of crunchy sugar) and the Guava & Queso Pastelito (guava and cheese puff pastry). Each bite was full of different textures and sweetness that has to be savored, in order to believe my description. Thank you Cortaditos, for providing great products and making mall visits memorable and delicious. read more

I had placed an order for a drink and a sandwich at 8:48pm with a pick up time of 9:03... When I arrived, the drink was ready and the lady said the sandwich would be ready in another 10 minutes. After waiting there for quite a while, it was still not ready and there was no one that came to order anything. After asking how much longer it'll take, she went to the back to the kitchen and came back out saying it was coming. I finally received my sandwich at 9:17. I would understand if the delay was that it was busy, but there was no order ahead of mine that needed to be made. The drink was just alright and the sandwich was not made correctly. I ordered a vegan Cuban sandwich ordered as is, and it was missing the pickles and mustard. I was looking forward to this as I've had the vegan Cuban from a different location which was amazing, and this one was highly disappointing. read more

Good place. Nice selection of food. I like that they go for the authentic Cuban five while also mixing things up a bit. Like their Cuban empanada is pretty good. Also, they're garbanzo empanada was enjoyable. Obviously the prices of the empanada were a little steep for the size, but I get it. They have to pay their rent. Customer service was incredible. The young woman working the cash register deserves a raise for her patience explaining things with us. The food court is always nice so I can't complain about the ambience. Go. It's worth it. read more

Amazing Cuban spot. 1) Their cafe con leche is the best coffee you can try. 2) Must try their desserts: cuatro leches, tres leches, and flan. All were amazing, but cuatro leches was unbelievably good. read more

This is my FAVORITE spot to grab coffee at in American Dream. Because of parking fees (less than 15 min, free at AD), I would never come here JUST for the coffee. My favorite coffee is their frozen cordadito con leche and I ask for condensed milk flavoring on top. My favorite pastry of theirs is the pastelito de guayaba y queso (guava & cheese pastry). Super flakey and delicious filling! I do feel that sometimes their service is a little slow and it takes them awhile to take my order even on slow days (could be a staffing issue too). They don't seem to have designated seating, but being that it is in Court A, you can find seating very close by! read more

Service was terrible. They dont smile or say hi and expect you to just place order from the screen. The workers just kept talking amongst themselves and ignored me. I can see why the place was empty. The food was dry and not that flavorful. I was craving a beef empanada and took me several bites till there was beef. The meat pastelito had more flavor and was better and if I had just that...maybe would have given 3 stars. Don't see myself ever coming back and would not recommend this place. read more

Lovely cuban cafe with an interesting filled assortment of puff pastries! I highly recommend the Pollo Fricasé Empanada (Chicken Stew). The sauces that come with it taste amazing, and the flavors are complex. Very nice snack while going around the mall! Food: 5 | Service:5 | Atmosphere: 5 read more

For a grab and go style cortaditos instead of their usual full service cafe and bakery, this is nice. I live the Cuban vibe, makes me feel like I am back in Havana or in Miami. It's not where I'd usually go but if I'm in the mall, this is the only place I will usually go for cafe and Cuban bites. read more

This place is located inside American Dream mall at the food court. I was attending the escape room there with a group. I got to the mall earlier than my expected time and decided to have a small bite to eat. After much consideration, I decided to try Cortaditos. I knew I was going to be eating after my activity so I kept it light. I got one empañada with chicken. It was flavorful and I liked the shedded meat. The young lady who took my order was pleasant and knowledgeable when I asked questions about their other locations. Since this was a smaller version of the store , I do plan on visiting the big ones, read more

Cortaditos has more of a Miami Cuban vibe then tha stuffy North Jersey I am used to and it's very colorful, chill, and tropical for a small counter at American Dream Mall. They have a cool art work of Celia Cruz who was a giant in latin music world and later coin the word Azúcar, which is suger. They got a good strong coffee when compare to the any other coffees you can get here at the other vendors, I wanted to do a back flip after I had it. The coffee goes well with a Cuban style sugar cookie, Mantecado. Everyone has Empanadas so I skipped them and went for the Pastelitos, say it like 'pa·stuh·lee·towz' which are more of a pastry dough and have a filling. I had guava paste, 'Pastelito Guayaba', they also have one with cheese, 'Queso' and another with with seasoned ground beef, raisins, & chopped olives. There much more here to on there menu but the place was packing customers, so I will be back for more. read more

Yes! So it's a station out on the 2nd floor of the American Dream Mall, right across from the big smoked bbq restaurant. You can order in English or in Spanish and they understand and the service is pretty quick. In my opinion, very good and strong Cuban-style coffee but what knocked my socks off was the unmitigated gaul that they have for having Morir Soñando on their drink menu.... Whaaaaaaa?! That is a very underrated Dominican drink that is basically comprised of ice, evaporated milk, some sugar and orange juice. Their variation had sweetened condensed milk and for all of you skeptics thinking, "you don't mix dairy and citrus!" Well I say to you to keep an open mind. This was very refreshing on the front end, and the back-end was very sweet because the cream of the milk sinking to the bottom. So yes, please try out Cortaditos as their coffee is great, drink menu is on point and the service is fast. I will probably go back every time I'm back in that side of the mall. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's not just the fact that the coffee is always made to perfection but the team of girls working here really makes it stand out. They're fast, friendly, & as a regular they know my order before I even say anything. I work in the mall BUT even on my days off, I always stop in because the service & consistency keep me coming back. Highly recommend! read more

The storefront inside the American Dream mall is super cute, modern and inviting. Lots of yummy looking treats in the glass cases as well. The positivity stops there, however. I was basically ignored for a solid 3 minutes while the two workers behind the counter just chatted up a mall security guard. At first, I thought he was ordering or waiting for an order so I remained patient but then I realized that it was just a social visit that occupied the two people working, I was no longer amused. I ordered a double with condensed milk which was okay. The quality of the coffee was pretty standard. I would have expected higher quality for a specialty coffee shop. Overall, I would not return unfortunately. read more

Pretty fresh pastries, but could maybe be a bit fresher. Decent Cuban vibe, but a bit stereotypical: José Martí, Celia Cruz, Patria y Vida (too political for my liking in this context--I just want food)...show me something new. But regardless, what does it for me is the fact that the workers actually speak Spanish with me. I enjoy that. Also, get the "La Reina Tea"--you can thank me later. read more

Pretty Dry sandwiches for the most part, coffee is okay. Pastries are probably the best thing they have to offer but the staff is very sweet

Great spot for Cuban food ! Extremely reasonable prices and croquettes are to die for. The attention to detail and service is stellar. Great spot for a pick up and go atmosphere. read more
