Everything that day tasted so fresh and so delicious! The red velvet cake slice was amazing! My husband loved all his cookies too! We loved the bakery so much we came back a few days later unfortunately that day it wasn't nearly as good except for the cookies. I bought a carrot cake slice, a cheesecake/brownie slice and various cookies. The carrot cake slice wasn't that great and tasted a few days old. The brownie part to the cheesecake slice was very good, but the cheesecake on top wasn't that great. We did enjoy the cookies. We came back for a third time on Monday Jan 26, 2026 and I purchased a brownie that tasted a month old at least! It was hard as a brick! Needless to say I didn't eat it! I also bought a chocolate mousse cake slice that was extremely fresh and good. As usual the cookies we purchased were all fresh and very good. All in all this bakery is a mixed bag you don't know if you're going to get something fresh or stale. Everything is either hit or miss. I'd come back again and give it another shot, but I wouldn't come often.

I loved the fresh orange juice and how refreshing it was. There is outdoor and indoor seating and the lighting inside is really calming and inviting. The beef gyro and fig omelet were light, yet filling and made with very fresh ingredients. I would get both dishes again. They also have many pastries as well as other gourmet foods that can be purchased. A popular spot but not super packed on a Saturday afternoon.

I had the bacon, egg, cheese breakfast sandwich on a Portuguese roll and WOW! It was so fresh, the bread so soft, the cheese oozing with every bite. So delicious! I saw two girls exit with orange juice that looked so good so I ordered that too. Fresh squeezed OJ-so sweet and fresh. Loved it! I never really order breakfast sandwiches (oatmeal for me every day) but wow, this was amazing. $6.50 for that breakfast sandwich. My husband ordered the Mista Toast and pastel de nata which he enjoyed as well. Service was excellent! This is an authentic Portuguese spot-everyone in there was speaking Portuguese, our waitress greeted us in Portuguese. We will be back!

Definitely going back to try some other stuff.

To be able to find a bakery that specializes in ethnic, and cultural products so specific as to help a teacher to celebrate Día de los Muertos with his students... I'm so fortunate to have found Dunellen Bakery. FYI, they don't just serve freshly made pan de muertos... They are a fresh bakery, putting out all sorts of fresh breads, rolls, and homemade empanadas. I had come to Dunellen Bakery before, but years ago. It's family owned and the staff are bilingual Spanish and English! They are not just a bakery but can also make sandwiches: egg, deli, etc... I'll be back, tomorrow!

We ordered the Mediterranean Sunset and Dragonfruit Mule (non-alcoholic), and both drinks were refreshing. The White Cheddar Mac & Cheese and Smoked Gouda Arancini were really good, and everything looked great presentation-wise. The Seaside Cod was also a solid option, very balanced with potatoes and salad. The Biscoff Cinnamon Roll was the star--highly recommend it. Overall, a very aesthetic and peaceful spot. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the area.

The space clearly isn't big enough for what they're trying to do, and you can tell the kitchen staff is struggling in a makeshift setup. Everyone working there was very sweet and seemed to have good intentions, but it also felt like they're not being set up for success. We waited almost 15 minutes just to order and not because there was a long line. The staff just seemed completely overwhelmed and backed up. We ordered tiramisu and cookie butter lattes, and it took another 15 minutes to get them. When they finally came, both drinks tasted like milk and sugar. I genuinely think they forgot to add espresso. At that point, the place was so packed and chaotic that we didn't even bother saying anything, we just left and went across the street for bagels and coffee instead. Overall, it felt like a huge waste of time, money, and gas.

We were driving through and stopped by because I love Columbian empanadas and figured they'd have them at a bakery. Ended up leaving with pandebono (a type of cheese-filled bread), lenguas (Guatemalan name, long type of crunchy bread), champurradas (disk-shaped), beef empanadas, conchas (soft bread with icing), and arroz con leche. Annnnnnd.... a bandeja paisa. Tried the pandebono while I waited for my paisa that I got to go and absolutely loved them. They were a fresh batch and were soft, slightly sweet, with a hint of cheesiness. I ended up getting more to take home. The empanadas weren't bad! On the small-medium side, but had good flavor and seemed fresh as well. The arroz con leche i as also great and fresh, tasted like my abuela's and was as awesome. I haven't tried the rest of the bakery items yet, so hopefully I'll remember to update this when I do. So when I asked what the size difference between the mini bandeja paisa and the regular were, she shrugged and said not too much of a difference. So of course, I got the bigger one. Ten minutes later, she pulls out a whole TRAY, hefty and full of food. $15 is not bad at all, as other places I've been to typically charge $17+. This thing could feed two people, honestly. The food was well seasoned, not too salty, and generous. The chicharrones. we're great and you get a whole plátano for the maduros! Totally worth it and might have convinced us to come back. Overall, from what I can tell, pretty good eats! It's small inside and we went around 2:30 so it wasn't busy, but I imagine you'd probably have to get stuff to go if they're busy, probably less than 10 seats unless they bring out some folding tables when it's busy. Staff was super friendly and the service was quick and easy. Looks like they also have Guatemalan, Costa Rican, and El Salvadoran food on top of the Colombian. Worth a try!
