It's a cozy spot with a great purpose - their mission is to donate 100% of profits back to charitable organizations in the community. Amazing! I ordered a flat white and a sausage breakfast burrito. Love that they have food options beyond pastries (which they also have, along with egg bites, baked goods, etc.). They did not take my name but brought my order out to my table. The flat white was delicious and perfectly hot, and the breakfast burrito was very similar to the breakfast burritos at McDonald's (in a good way, because I do like those). It was a generous size so I was fueled up for my long travel day. The space has plenty of seating and the wifi was quick. They have a section of bulk candy bins which I thought was interesting and unique. If I lived in the area, this would be a go-to spot!

This bodega follows the normal bodega counter setup but boasts a little three-top dining counter inside the window, as well as a shaded picnic table outside. We got the tacos de chorizo y huevo con aguacate and two of the fresh juices--the sabato and the summer juice. We waited for the meal outside at the picnic table and dined there as well. After about 15 minutes, the order was ready. I went in to get the juices, and the kind gentleman working there brought out the tacos. The juice was delicious and was juiced then blended for the perfect velvety texture. It was super fresh, as evidenced by all the fruits and veggies washed and displayed in the deli case. The tacos are served with a piece of queso frito, a side of salsa verde, and a side of salsa roja. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the portion was generous. The salsas were very flavorful with great heat. I only wished the filling had a little more salt or a little more chorizo to give it the additional saltiness it needed. Overall, a good solid meal. Definitely will be back.

It was good but not the best I've had. I really appreciated the perfect crisp on the burrito! I am particular with texture and appreciate this. Everything was good but I wish the home fries were seasoned a bit more and had a slight crisp (there I go with the texture again). The salsa verde was spicy but gooood! Service: The 2 ladies working were very nice. Decor: No-frills small spot with about 3/4 chairs to sit inside and 1 table outside. I would DEF call in an order ahead or take it to-go. Random tip: I stopped by here before returning my rental at Hertz (literally 5 min away driving), so def stop by before or after getting your rental and need a quick bite to eat. I def want to stop by to try the tacos and traditional Mexican dishes for lunch.

While tea seems to be their specialty, their coffee--both hot and cold brew--is excellent. They have some very good pastries as well, and a solid croissant. While I've mostly been taking things to go, they have a decent interior--it is kind of crammed into the lobby of an office building, but they do their best with what is a standard suburban Main Street setting, and also have ample outdoor seating--again, you are near Main, but set off enough to not be super loud. They serve wine as well and stay open relatively late--seems like a great place to hang with a drink and nosh. I would say the larger bites are less successful--sandwiches are incredibly chintzy, mostly bread or roll, with very little meat inside, at least for the chicken salad. But everything else has been just lovely. Certainly vastly preferable to the endless parade of Starbucks and Dunkin' that seem to be the only other options nearby.

Service was incredible: they were patient with me as I tried to decide on what to order, ultimately going with an iced latte, pao de queijo and a coxinha, in my broken Portuguese. The coxinha reminded me of croquetas in Florida, a fried ball filled with delicious chicken and cheese. The pao de queijo, also amazing, just reminded me that Brazilians have the best ideas when it comes to bread! I did not order a sweet, but they had some very appealing brigadeiros and passion fruit mousse. They have a small seating area inside and out front, on the sidewalk. The inside seating area is filled with products from Brazil, showing that Araras, like its name suggests, is coffee AND more. There are a variety of products, like snacks and cooking staples, as well as skin care products and some small kitchen necessities (like stove-top coffee makers), reminding me of the importance of places like Araras for Brazilians living in the community who want to feel a slice of home.

Bagels are mediocre at best and the owner is SOOOOOOOO RUDE I'd move to Bangladesh and starve before I'd eat anything from this place. He needs a serious lesson in humanity. To go to this place is the equivalent of stealing from the poor box at church. He doesn't deserve anyone's business. The Bagel Emporium on 119 not far from the train station is much better, great food and really NICE people. In this world of chaos and madness that should matter to everyone. We should deal only with quality human beings, not this low life. read more

Although the aesthetics were very attractive and it reminds me of a kitchen, my expectations subsided quickly upon my visit. I spoke as I entered Empire Bagels and the lady taking care of another customer did respond. I went closer to the counter to study the menu. The lady helping the customer was finishing 4up with that customer and went over to the other lady behind the counter. They saw me looking at the menus and offered no assistance. After 3 minutes I finally found the breakfast menu. I had to wait for them to finish conversing in order to place my order. No, how can I help you! I chose the number 2 which was a heart healthy wrap which consisted of 3 egg whites, broccoli, spinach, and tomatoes on a whole wheat wrap. I just think the entire interaction should have been more professional and there seemed to be a lot of challenges going on here. The biggest challenge is customer service skills, and then there is a comprehension challenge, and a language challenge. The sandwich was okay, I have had better. Better sandwiches and customer service, oh wait.. I stated that already. I won't return because I can get better food and service at Stanz. It's hard to find anything as an option when I've been eating at Stanz since 2002. And Stanz addresses me by name and are more than willing to make something off the menu.
