Almond Croissant
Nikko A.

Steven's Cafe is the best coffee shop around. The almond croissant is out of this world and taste like a pastry made out of some fancy European bakery. The almond past filling is insane and I would eat this every day if I could. Now when it comes to coffee, you cannot beat the iced caramel macchiato. The staff is always super friendly and the cafe is super clean and a great place to relax and chat over coffee and a pastry. Grab some Steven's cafe next time you're walking by the river walk!

Once again Steven's get it wrong. Ordered a bagel toasted dark with cream cheese. Not toasted. I dont understand how one place could be so bad all at once. Its continual. Second time today they screwed up an order which i why i am putting in two reviews. Not only overpriced, low quality food - but the level of ssrvice continues to fall short.

This place was just ok. The ham and cheese croissant sandwich I had was the best part. The bagels tasted like nothing. The latte was just OK. Nothing special. Barely any espresso. Service was ok. The branding and decor were just ok.

Super hot inside with somewhat slow service. 1/3 macarons was stale. They don't tell you that credit cards carry a 3% surcharge fee, and that cash use is encouraged. Food was just okay, but definitely not worth the price. Protein smoothie (Almond Joy) tasted chalky with synthetic vanilla protein flavor added in. Overall an expensive mistake and a no.

You can't beat the view! The pastries and drinks are also pretty good with many selections. They have outdoor seating or indoor and are situated next to a real estate agency for luxury homes in the area. We need more little places like these here!

Stopped here for dessert and a glimpse of the city view one night after dinner. The staff was super friendly and we stopped by about an hour before closing. We got a hot chocolate and a decaf cappuccino. The cappuccino tasted like pure water to me, not very good. The hot chocolate was alright, tasted powdery. Nothing special really. We also got some treats. They have bags of popcorn out with fun flavors. I got a fruit medley flavor and that was delicious. (Low calorie too!) I also got 4 macaroons and 2 eclairs. I got the Nutella and my boyfriend got just regular vanilla creme. He wasn't too thrilled with his and I thought mine was actually pretty good. The Nutella creme was great, the nuts on top were fresh and crunchy. The macaroons fell super short for me. The actual treat itself was baked perfectly, perfect size but the flavors just weren't there at all. The pistachio was bland, the strawberry poppy actually tasted bad to me. I ended up just buying the rest and tossing them. This place definitely has some good options, I don't know if it was a freshness issue or not but some pastries are great and some just fall short.

Imperial Panini (I ordered it without the red peppers)

I'm honestly surprised I have the self control to not visit Steven's everyday. It's my go-to bagel spot; The New Yorker is seriously among the best lox sandwiches I've ever had. I also love grabbing a detox juice after working out! Since COVID they no longer have indoor seating to promote social distancing. However there are still tables outside! I just take mine to go, but it's nice to know there's that option. They have a digital menu board instead of just the paper menus they used to have when they first opened, which is great. I normally order a sandwich, coffee, or green juice (all great), but one of these days I need to treat myself to one of their baked goods. They always have a wide variety of macaroons (including interesting flavors like birthday cake and Nutella!) and they also have eclairs right now that look amazing.

It's always a nice stop along a walk by the Hudson River. Probably not your typical artisanal café in Hoboken that carries hand crafted nitro, this place does offer wonderful service and a variety of drinks and food to fuel your adventure over here.

This would be an amazing 5 stars if they had a toilet. Except for that they are a must try. First their coffee is reasonably priced. They also have an assortment of pastries, macaroons, cakes, breakfast options and paninis. And on top of that they are fast, the waiters are nice and attentive. They have a pretty spacious interior and have nice decorations, their vibe is kind of industrial. This is a must try, and if you do try you will come back guarantied!

The place is nice inside with plenty of seating and they have outdoor seats as well with a beautiful view of the city but I wasn't trilled about the customer experience. The iced chai latte was great and the egg avocado wrap was tasty but the m&m cookie that I got was stale. I will return for the iced chai but that's about it.

I actually found this place here on Yelp, I'm visiting a friend living in the area. First off, the cashier was super rude for some reason. The only reason I proceeded with the payment is because I was starving and had no energy to do my research again. 3 people ordered after me and got their drinks sooner than I did. Kind of weird. Panini is horrible, all I could taste is mayo and some weird spices. Tasted like a gas station sandwich for $5-6 to be honest. I felt like drinking some coffee, after finishing my juice (juice was good, thank God) and whatever I could eat of that sandwich , but I just didn't want to spend any money there :// Such a nice area and such a disappointment.... UPD: It also tells a lot that the owner labels his customer as a "slander" (that's how he referred to me in his response, not sure if it is visible publicly) You may be surprised but I spoke to another friend who lived in the building for several years, that the food was never good, as well as the coffee . Surprisingly, some ppl voted for my review...must me some miserable slanders! I didn't want to say that, since it had nothing to do with my experience. I never insulted anyone in my review, but the owner's response shocked me even more than the customer service. I now see that it made no sense to even review the place. You could have messaged me directly to find out the details Have an amazing day and good luck with the business

2 iced coffees, on a bench about a block over from the coffee shop

I live close by, so I enjoy walking to this cafe frequently. There are a lot of different options for drinks -- from everything to coffee, cold brew, lattes, and fruit smoothies as well. The cold brew is my favorite if they have any left for the day! I've also tried the Pistachio Escargot pastry and that was very delicious. Definitely recommend getting any of the pastries heated up. There is also a large selection of macarons but I have never tried any from there - they do like delicious and there are a huge variety of flavors. The pastry case is pretty stocked so I usually end up getting something from the case. 10/10 recommend checking out the place whether you're a local or visiting the area. Enjoy!

Pitiful lol

This review is purely based on the chicken sandwich. $14 with tax is just ridiculous. Also, the chicken did have a wired taste to it.

DDL is elite. They have it all. Fantastic pastries, cakes and sandwiches. Great coffees. Spacious,…read moreclean and cozy seating. Friendly and helpful staff. Super affordable prices. I've never eaten anything that I didn't like. My faves are: milhojas, breakfast croissant sandwich, and any and every cake with dulce de leche filling. I only tiny, minuscule complaint I have about this place is the lack of signage for the pastries and cakes. It would be nice to know what I'm looking at without having the ask. Absolutely zero gatekeeping here. Please everyone keep patronizing this establishment. I need this place to continue to exist in my hood.

The cake here is very good! Super moist, and the frosting is light and fluffy when ordered fresh…read more Unfortunately the 2 cupcakes I got, both alfajores and the chocolate covered one too were stale, like super hard and dry. So get anything fresh, like made to order cakes or things you see come out right when you're there. Otherwise you run the risk of getting old stuff, which sucks that they don't manage that at all. On a Sunday afternoon lines moved quickly and we were able to find seats. This is a cute cafe that offers plenty of savory items and lunches, plus drinks like matcha, cakes, pastries and cookies. There is also a bathroom! The women behind the counter were all nice and patient with my questions, they also kept the line moving and were quick. I had high hopes for the Alfajores as this is an Argentinian bakery but unfortunately the ones given to me were stale. The cookie was very hard. Also the Dulce de leche was too sweet and burnt tasting to me. I also got a chocolate covered one and the cookie in that was also hard and dry. The strawberry croissant was amazing. Never had anything like that before. Not too sweet and very flaky. It has a ribbon of red on the outside which gives it a unique look. I would love to come back and try savory items. I'll continue to stick with the cakes and croissants for desert and make sure it's fresh!

I unexpectedly dropped in while on a walk in the neighborhood and am so happy to have discovered…read morethis bakery. Their case was filled with so many delicious looking bites but I held some self restraint and just picked up a few pastel de natas and a guava and cheese danish. Delicious! Both were perfect and everything was under $10. They had so much there that I can't wait to stop back in for: Portuguese rolls, empanadas, drip coffee, etc. While Salem isn't right by me, when I am in the area, this will have to be my new go to bakery when I am in need of a box of pastries to bring along to a party (or just for myself).

Ordered: 2 6-inch Heroes ($1)…read more4 Mini Portuguese Rolls ($1.25) Glazed Donut ($1.50) Chicken Empanada ($2.50) Beef Empanada ($2.50) Aya's take: Salem & Sons is a gem! Fresh bread, pastries, and baked goods that are incredibly affordable. I drive by all the time and there are always numerous cars double parked outside. Now I see what the commotion is about. The bread is great if you plan to eat it fresh or freeze for later. The Heroes and Portuguese Rolls are my favorites, and the prices are unbeatable. The Glazed Donut was a good try; it's more like a cake than a donut but would definitely pair well with a coffee. I saw the Empanadas on display and decided to try two. The Beef Empanada was pretty solid but the Chicken Empanada threw me off a bit with the carrots inside. With $10 in your pocket, you can walk out of here with so much! Highly recommend supporting this local business.

I'm a 90s baby and I grew up eating these empanadas, I don't remember there being that many options…read morewhen I was younger, but am I glad that there are so many to choose from. I live in Connecticut, but I go to New Jersey every two months or so and no matter what I have to go here and get my empanadas. If I didn't become allergic to nuts, I would get a slice of balcarce! It's vanilla cake with dulce de leche, walnuts, fruit whipped topping and meringue. Think of a caramel nut cake with yummy bites of peaches. They don't usually sell it by the slice, but if you ask nicely, they'll cut into a cake for you. If I go with friends or family I always grab a slice because if I can't enjoy it, I at least want the people around me to have the joy of tasting my childhood.

I was looking forward to trying some local empanada spots and found Argentina Bakery on ubereats…read more Since Ubereats was offering a 40% off promotion for pick up orders, I decided to give this bakery a try. Don't judge my gluttony but I wanted to sample a variety of items. I got five empanadas: Beef, corn, spinach, cheese empanadas and the Swiss chard tart. I also got three desserts: tres leches cake, a peach balcarce and the dulce de leche mil hojas cake. I liked the empanadas but wish there was more stuffing inside. The bread ratio was a little too high for me but still tasty and I liked the slice of hard boiled egg inside for great inside texture. The desserts were very good. I liked the contrast with the cakes, toppings and fruit. There is a little no parking area in front of the shop that you may be able to park for a quick pick up but also saw a lot of metered parking. Pricing was very reasonable. It was a good experience.
