Wow! I'm so happy I discovered this cafe and I'm antsy to return soon. We were immediately greeted by a friendly face who welcomed us in. The menu and everything in the display cases looked so appetizing, we had such a difficult time choosing what to order! We started with BEC sandwiches - they were made really well on delicious toasted rolls - my only complaint was the Kraft American cheese singles. Please upgrade the cheese and it will make the world of a difference to the meal!! I also had a hot tea with some pastries we got: Oreo cheesecake and an ombligo with a custard filling - absolutely delicious and perfectly sweetened. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside decor was very nice and offered comfy soft seating to dine in with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely make a drive up soon from Norwalk to enjoy some more! read more

We had thought this might be related to the Dulce de Leche chain in northern New Jersey, but it's a small place with a local vibe. We tried the beef and the spinach/mushroom empanadas, a chocolate filled pastry and the alfajores. The empanadas were the proper baked Argentinian version. I thought the beef was very tasty but it lacked the chopped olive I associate with the Argentinian style. La Portena had no complaints about her spinach/mushroom version. The alfajores came in three sizes, something I did not realize when ordering. I would not repeat my order of the large size, the ratio of cookie to filling being off. The medium looked about right. The best item was a chocolate filled pastry, similar to a croissant that I had the next day. Flaky and light, it revealed some skill in the baking. read more

I think it's my 4th time in the place!! It's magnificent I love having breakfast in this place, I've tried the desserts too (pending on the photos) and they are delicious. All the bakery here is fresh and made the same day. The coffee is dulce de leche uffff I couldn't describe such a delight. I would like to eat other options from the menu with more time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is super nice and quiet, the staff very friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love how cozy and familiar this business is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Creo que es mi 4 vez en el lugar !!

When we travel, I love finding small, indy coffee places, so I couldn't be happier to have stumbled onto Dulce de Leche this morning! A cute-as-can-be bake shop on a quiet corner in Stratford, they specialize in Argentine treats (both savory and sweet). I had gone just for coffee, which I was told was terrific (and it was!) I left with both a sandwiche de migas and a chicken empanada. WOWZA! The sandwiche de migas is simple but ethereally delicious (you should absolutely go get one right now) and the empanada was jam-packed with flavor and its pastry was flaky perfection. In short, this place is a GEM and folks here in the Nutmeg State are lucky to have Dulce de Leche in their backyard. read more

I had a chicken bake which was amazing and an iced coffee with delce de leche. Also picked up some cake pops to take home. If this place was local I'd be here all the time. Everything was delicious and the next time I'm in the area I'll stop in again. read more

Swing by this sweet Argentinian pastry/coffee place on a Thursday afternoon looking for a drink and a small bite to eat. We opted for the Carne Empanadas which were to die for. I can't tell if they are fried or baked but they came out hot and tender. The beef inside of it was absolutely delicious, looked like it had some small pieces of carrot and onion instead of it, mouth is watering just thinking about it. It's a small local place off a neighborhood connecting to Broadbridge. They had other offerings on the menu such as the chicken Milanese, other options for empanadas and some breakfast sandwich options. Have to come back and try the chicken empanadas, seems to be on my mind. They have a few tables inside and a counter looking out the window if you prefer some seating, gem of a place. read more

Once they were closed when the hours were supposed to be open so I vowed to not return, but it just sounded so tasty so a few days later I tried it out. The dulce de leche iced latte was really good! I wanted empanadas but wasn't sure if they'd have them since I was coming late in the day, but I called beforehand and they said they didn't have any but I could order them and they'd be ready for pick up, so I did that. I ordered 2 beef and they were hot and ready when I arrived. I'd say the flavor was just okay. I've had better a bunch. I'd be eager to try other things on the menu. I thought my total was a little expensive for what it was. read more

I was exited to try this Argentinian bakery and i was disappointed the alfajores were super dried and had almost no dulce de leche inside and the pastaflora pie was also dry and heavy read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fantastic!! Adorable place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent coffee. Lovely pastries and excellent service. What a treasure.

So lovely! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean establishment[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], good food & service. Their cookies and pastries are delicious.

The place is a hidden gem within a residential neighborhood in Stratford. I saw a review from a local Facebook Women's group online and decided to check it out. It didn't disappoint. First off, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is immaculate, feels modern and chic[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the pastries are out of this world. The coffee is good and the grilled Cheese sandwich is yummy. So exciting to see a minority-owned, female dominant business thriving. My husband and I will certainly be back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a really nice coffee shop with an Argentinian twist.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Awesome pastries. Super friendly people.

The food, service, and ambiance were all five stars! My favorite empanada was actually the tuna & spinach which is surprising! It had a Latin flavor which is probably why I loved it. The place is very cute inside and has an adorable outdoor patio as well. The coffee was really good and it's nice to have an Argentinian place around. Definitely recommend. read more

Will be coming back ... gracias ! read more

Lovely spot with nice outdoor patio, good wifi, decent hours, wide selection, tasty empanadas. Not far from downtown Bridgeport but far enough off the main roads and in a charming neighborhood... a great little escape to snack, work, and/or read. read more

I love this new cafe in my neighborhood! The pastries are adorable, the prices are great, the newly renovated building is cozy & clean. And I love supporting local small businesses. I've been wanting to try yerba mate, and they made me a mate cocido, that's in a teabag style. I said, "how do people take it?" The young man said he's been drinking it his whole life & takes it with milk and sugar, so I tried it that way. Delicious! I'm going back today again probably. read more
