Got the lox bagel at Roc's Cafe. It's a small place inside but there is seating outside. The portions was decent as there was sizable lox in addition to tomatoes which is unique with plenty of cream cheese. Service did take quite a while but overall would recommend if you just want something simple. read more

When we first moved to New Jersey, we stumbled upon this little cafe and I must say the cappuccinos are absolutely delicious! I've also had the crepes, coxhina (which are the most delicious things I've ever had!!) and the Nutella nata which my mom always asks me to bring back to Buffalo when I visit. The workers are always friendly and it's a great local business to support. I definitely recommend this high quality inexpensive cafe to anyone in the area! read more

Use to love this spot. I've been coming here for over a year. I buy food for my whole family when I come here. Noticing prices keep going up and less food. Not understanding why the cook didn't have on a hair net & gloves. . Not good. Then me & my family open up our breakfast sandwich's to eat it and the bacon was not fully cooked. Not good. Nobody wants to eat under cooked pork can definitely get sick. See pic below. Whoever is the owner needs to let the cook know bacon needs to be fully cooked & to wear a hair net & some gloves. Nobody wants hair in their food. Hoping for a change for this spot. read more

Amazing cooked fresh and delicious. Hidden Gem. Can't wait to go back. Hot cops always hanging around don't hurt either lol

I stopped by to grab breakfast with a friend recently. They have a good selection of breakfast and lunch items to pick from. I got a bacon, egg and cheese. I also ordered a fresh squeezed orange juice. I really enjoyed my breakfast sandwich. The OJ was very good too! Staff were friendly. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They have a good selection of baked goods. Parking is a little difficult in the area. read more

I was staying at a hotel nearby and wanted breakfast. This places natas look amazing so I decided to come here and enjoy breakfast and some natas. Oh my goodness their natas is amazing. Best I've had in awhile. My husband and I ordered breakfast as well. I got the smoked salmon bagel and my husband got the garden omelette. The food was pretty tasty, however, it was veryyyyy slow for our food to come out. The service was good but not exceptional. I took a star out because of it. Great place to get some natas but I probably wouldn't return for breakfast. read more

This is a great little hidden gem of a bakery not too distant from Newark International Airport. The prices are super affordable and the quality is amazing. I feel so ripped off going to The Cheesecake Factory after eating their gourmet cheesecakes here @ ROC's Café. They've got a nice wide variety of breakfast and lunch options and also fresh squeezed orange juice which is a must for any restaurant of this type. All of the baked goods behind the glass look immaculate and delicious looking. I'll need to try some of their new menu items next time. I went with the traditional brunch combo platter including scrambled eggs, avocado, pork roll/Taylor ham, hash browns, and toast. ¡Everything is muy delicioso! read more

Service was great, the lux of love was sooo good! I love that they have freshly squeezed orange juice.

A RARE EDIBLE rated Portuguese pastries and sandwiches. This review is based on 2 weekday visits in May, 2022. +. Ambiance is a working class neighborhood bakery cafe. Inside are long cases of fresh baked goods. Customers s order, wait and take their goodies to their outside sidewalk patio. Where, a half dozen tables are filled with locals conversing in Portuguese and in Spanish. They all spoke English as well. Not fancy but friendly local vibe. ++. Roc's offer breakfast, sandwiches, pastries and cake and coffee beverages. We tried several pastries, a sandwich, slice of a cake and a soda. +++. The Savage Sandwich was big enough to split and was DELICIOUS! Came with one of the best fries I've ever eaten. It was coated with something similar to panko and double fried? +. Berliner was alright but not as good as ones in the Algarve +++. Pastil de nata - the BOMB of all egg tarts, this is my FAVE. ++ Pastil de Nutella was very good +. Torta de laranja was well portioned and rich + Guava tart had pleasant soft textures and wasn't sweet + Price is quite reasonable for the quality and the quantity + Service was friendly and prompt. Their togo box is typical..meant for local carry out. + Parking is limited street and free. Roc's is definitely a destination if I'm within an hour :-) MY RATINGS - - - Inhumane - - Disgusted - Don't bother = Missed the Mark + Good ++ Better +++ EDIBLE...WHERE have you been all my LiFe! read more

After having many single sliced of their tres leches cake, we ordered a custom a tres leches cake for my daughter's college graduation party. Just as the single slices, this custom made cake was delicious! All of our guests raved about how good it was. I'm looking forward to the next party so I can order my next cake! They were great to work with as well. At the bakery, the service is always great & working with them for the cake was just as wonderful. The cake was made exactly as the picture we provided. My daughter & guests were very happy!! read more

The BBQ chicken bowl, sweet potato fries and orange juice were quite good, but we also ordered pastries and they were stale... sad stuff considering it's a bakery. They were out of crepes and French toast and it was only 9:30am ... boo! and also their lattes are a bit too sweet. Overall ambience was nice and the bathroom was clean read more

Ok not great. Nice place but the service is not great. Food is not bad but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there. Overall pretty good.

Great breakfast spot. Lots of selections, bakery items we ordered were very good. Great size patio at the front and good coffee drinks!

Food was amazing! Had the Loz bagel and it was so scrumptious!!! The staff are all very friendly! read more

I come here all the time and it's never consistent. Sometimes is good other times it sucks. I ordered a BLT asked for mayo, salt, and olive oil. They have me a smear of mayo and skipped out on the rest oh my request. The tomato they gave me was GREEN, not ripe at all. It tasted like grass I had to remove it. I was left with a dry piece of bread with a couple slices of bacon and a bit of lettuce. I'm done with them never getting a BLT here again. I once asked for the bread toasted and they tossed the entire sandwich with lettuce tomato and mayo already inside...it was horrible. read more

Roc's Café - My BLT! First of all can we talk about this GREEN tomato!! It tasted like grass - Bakeries Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

Service was fine for pickup. Ambience was fine as well, a bit more upscale than your traditional Colombian cafes. The only problem I have is that they gave me a tiny sliver of a Taylor ham meat. Very disappointing. Cut costs on food quality/quantity and you'll have extremely disappointed customers. Barely tasted my Taylor ham in my Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich. read more

Roc's Café is still as consistent as ever, serving up some of the freshest, warmest, tastiest Portuguese baked goods in Elizabeth. Sleek, stylish, friendly, and efficient. Plus, they've recently changed their coffee supplier to Delta, which, is the richest, smoothest blend of Portuguese branded espresso bean around. read more

If you in the area and looking for something quick to eat or a place to sit down and have a quiet lunch Roc's cafe is the place for you. Great customer service even during peak hours. They have the best pastéis de nata in the area. I highly recommend the Californian chicken sandwich. read more

Let me start by saying that this is a family-owned business by two young siblings who are very passionate about their Portuguese culture and the art of baking which was passed down by their grandparents (awesome right?) Before I get into how scrumptious everything is, I would like to commend their establishment on it's cleanliness from the outside seating area all the way to the restroom, this bakery is pristine. I'm a pastel de nata lover and for my 30 years of life I could have sworn that a Portuguese bakery from Newark had the best natas...until I tried Roc's. Their pastel de nata (Portuguese custard cup) has a crispy outside with a delicious, fresh, not overly sweet, perfect consistency filling. Now if you like natas you MUST TRY their Nutella nata with a ganache drizzle over the top (trust me, you haven't lived life until you try one)! Bacon-egg-cheese breakfast sandwich on a roll was delicious, fresh OJ (actually fresh squeeze) also great and not watered down. My boyfriend had the tosta mista (ham and cheese melt on a sweet croissant as per his preference) and kept saying how they toasted it just the right amount and had a great balance of meat to cheese. We've also had Roc's prepare custom birthday cakes for different occasions and were highly satisfied with: Communication of vision and execution of vision Physical appearance/ decoration Filling!! (Strawberry with a white Bavarian cream) I would recommend Roc's to anyone looking for special Portuguese pastries to wow their guests and family, for a nice breakfast or lunch eat-in option and for their custom cakes. read more

Excellent incidental finding. I happened to park outside this gem waiting for my sister. I noticed patrons were flying in and out through their doors at 5:30AM. Quickly I jumped on Yelp to search for them. I grabbed their Spanish coffee (aka latte), Pan and Pastel de Nata. All were delicious and under $5 total. Staff is super friendly. Interior is clean and cozy. Can't wait to show my sister this place when she arrives... read more

This is a quaint cafe with a nice variety of baked goods and items for breakfast. In fact this place served the best cappuccino I eve had. I love the fact that even with a small staff they seemed pretty personable, friendly and quick. The cafe was buzzing with plenty of customers when I arrived and everyone patiently waited to be waited on. My breakfast was top notch and although I got it to go the care in the way they presented my order was not treated as less important as those that are there. The staff, though hurried, were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. You have to try Rocs. read more

I found this cafe on Yelp and it was great! Right in the middle of a Portuguese neighborhood, it is friendly and fast. I had a Caramel nata pastry, a latte and a western omelette with potatoes and toast for $10. Wow. I would do it all again. They has so much to offer in the display cases too. Friendly staff and a quiet little place to have a meal. Try it! read more

I ordered a western omelette with a small black coffee. Coffee came quick but the omelette did take some time. Coffee had a nice taste to it and the omelette was awesome! It came with home fries and toast which was very good!! Quality and service was good and will come back and recommend this to any body new that hasn't visited!! read more

Stopped in for breakfast and was not impressed. Several tables weren't picked up. Ordered a western omelette which came with toast & potatoes. Omelette was loaded red peppers, it was almost like a thin egg shell stuffed with ham, cheese, onions & red peppers. Had to be the oddest one I've had. The potatoes were old, the best part was the toast. Happy about the freshly squeezed OJ & coffee/cappuccino and the nata pastry were good. read more
