North Avenue Bakery: Reviews & Ratings
nice lady's who work here. bagel was solid. custard cup was great. cheap prices. good spot to grab a quick breakfast
Best custard cups in New Jersey outside of Newark, great staff and selection of sweets
My parking spot was near this bakery and I didn't feel like going to a typical fast food place. It was difficult to find parking as I left my spot before looking for a place for a drink. The bakery stuck out for me and of course I found some baked foods I wanted. The style of food and decor is Portuguese. The lady working there was so nice to translate things and she thought I was local. When I was thinking if I had enough small bills, she said if I didn't have enough, I could pay her next time . Well, I wouldn't purposely have taken freebies like that. It also shows you how proud she is of her bakery and that she is doing reasonably well being a bakery staple of the neighborhood and working hard for me to be able to go on a Fri night around 7 PM.
The food (pastéis de nata) is always good. The service is quick and remember cash only. The ambience is a mix of people stopping for breakfast and lunch.
Amazing! Old school bakery just like when I was a kid! Great food, great service, friendly staff, good prices. Love!
Small bakery that's been there forever, try the Portuguese custard cups aka Natas. They are made fresh all day and the best in Jersey. Cakes are also amazing and delicious. Great kept neighborhood bakery and the coffees and espresso are great too.
I've been coming to this bakery since they opened, which was at least 15 years ago. I was still a kid when they opened after the previous bakery (which was not Portuguese) closed. As a Portuguese person, you can say I've had quite a few Pastéis de Nata in my 29 years of living. I've had plenty both in the US and in Portugal. The Pastéis here are one of the best you'll find in NJ, maybe even the east coast. The buttery flaky crust with the amazing custard filling will surely have you wanting more. Others may know these as egg tarts which are also popular in places that were former Portuguese colonies. This bakery has way more to offer than just the natas. There's plenty of other tasty cakes that you'll find. They also do custom cakes for any kind of occasion. I especially love getting a custom yellow cake with ovos moles. If you're in the area, definitely give this bakery a try!!!
