Cafe Caffe

2-​Bacon Egg n Cheese on Portuguese rolls delicious nice full size fresh big bacon decent amount of melted cheese and the eggs is on large omelet folded in half bout plus 1-​Ham and Cheese Melt mmm same bread good cheese plenty of ham. Pastries (small balls of shredded chicken) were a bit hard most likely over fried never he good luck with them other then that this place is good can get very busy at times so clean ur own table lol

I would never come here ever again. I have arrive at 11 40 and they didn’t have any food available to order. I was only able to get ham and cheese sandwich (they for to put mayo), seriously what kind of eat in place doesn’t have any food. And lets talk about service, those girls love to talk and not do work. Maybe that’s why they dont have food. Mystery solved.

Great parking, lots of seating, awesome coffee and i love those little custard cups. They have ones with nutella on the bottom now. Holy $#!+.

I give it one star for convenience. Parking is available. Food is ok. I’ll come here to have a coffee every now and then and every time I come I remember why I avoid it. The service is absolutely awful. You will stand in line and they will make pretend they don’t see you. It’s obvious that they don’t want to be here. This happens every single time. No exception.

Had a potluck at work last Tuesday. I’m always in charge of bringing pasteis de nata (custard cups). Have to give people what they want haha. There are other bakeries in Newark where I occasionally eat a custard cup or two. The reason I come to Café Caffe is because 1) They have awesome specials: $ 9.99 for a dozen and 2) Parking, which is important before I hit the Turnpike/​morning traffic. The second reason might not seem like it should affect the taste of the custard cups, but it definitely does :)
Every time I come here I ask for their Nutella and/​or chocolate custard cup. They never have it! Can’t get a clear answer on whether they don’t make it anymore or they sell so fast its gone by 7 am. I completely understand if they sell out fast because, I myself, am a Nutella addict, but 7 am, every time… seriously? lol

I used to like this place until they had served me in two different occasion rotten food. First, they had an special on pork sandwich which i jumped at it immediately just to find out that was spoiled over salted pork meat. Then, in another occasion I went there my mistake (just because it’s very close to my job). The tuna/​egg salad was disgusting and spoiled who knows how long was that food there, plus the server Ana prefers to serve first to her friends than me that I was in front of them. Horrible experience! I wouldn’t recommended this place to my worst enemy! Stay away of this place!!!

Great place for coffee and a toasted sandwich their way. But don’t ask to change the way you want your sandwich, they get mad. Besides that it’s good. Coffee is great

Good café with a large selection of items. Specials are good and cheap, but don’t deviate from what it is cause it will cost you. The custard cups are average and they don’t carry half and half for their coffee, why? Who knows.

This place has good food and great coffee. I really like their freshly squeezed orange juice. Their soup is very good and they have daily hot food which you can buy by weight. Plenty of seating and private parking lot. Service is not good at all, staff is very rude, specially the cashiers.

Café Caffe is my go-​to spot for Tosta Mistas. Basically, it’s a ham-​and-​cheese panini on a Portuguese Roll. It’s simply delicious.
They make Pasteis de Nata, but I’m a die-​hard Teixeira’s Bakery fan. They also started making Francesinhas — one of my favorite Portuguese comfort dishes. Next time, I’m in town I’m definitely giving it a try.

Horrible service!
I’ve been here several times for several years, nothing ever improved regarding service and customer care.
Food is average, nothing that you wouldn’t find in any other bakery.
The only good point about this place is the location and the parking.
Another very unprofessional thing is that the people that work there with the food, making sandwiches or anything else, always have gloves on which would be a great thong if they actually change them after cleaning the balcony, take the garbage and so on.

Very good place for a coffee and dessert. Hot galao and hot chocolate. Good prices. I did not realize they have a buffet and sandwiches too. We did not eat food but the selection looked appetizing. Will definitely go back to try some other stuff.

This is a cute café with a lunch line ordering style. You take a tray, pick up/​order what you want, then pay. They have a good selection of pastries, sandwiches, and drinks.
I ordered a tuna melt. It was made from garlic bread, tuna, muenster cheese, and tomato. It was delicious and I loved it. (4.75?)
My friend ordered the Franchesina (sic) hah with fries. It contained ham, egg, cheese, and some other ingredients I don’t remember. It came with fries and was doused in a Portuguese style sauce made from red wine among other things. I really didn’t enjoy the sauce, so I disliked the sandwich. Maybe without the sauce? Fries were really crispy and good. She barely touched it. (12.99)
She also had the pastry de nata? (1.25) she liked that.
Overall, a good experience and I look forward to coming back and trying other items.

My friend and I came here after work one day and really had a good time. We both order pressed sandwiches (Ham and turkey with cheese) and they both tasted so good. There were less than $ 3 each which is unheard of. We then got a pastry each and a latte. The pastries were only $ 1 and the latte was $ 2. It’s hard to believe how cheap everything is. The quality of food is great too. There are many Portuguese people who go to this place which is always a good sign.
I heard that the best time to come here is in the morning because all their pastries are fresh, so I will be trying that at some point.
Also, they have a parking lot which is nice for people who are not fond of looking for a parking spot in Newark.
I would definitely recommend this place and will definitely be back.

Extremely good espresso, coffee, breakfast food (rolls, sandwiches, toasts, etc) and Portuguese pastries (pasties de nata, bolas de Berlim, etc). The place gets packed on Sat and Sun mornings, so go early.

Fast service, cheap good food. My favorite is the wasabi roast beef and a cappacino. Can’t wait to try the location on Ferry Street.

Great place for lunch and during work week. On the week end the locals mob the place. Clean and orderly. Try their Portugese sandwich, but make sure you tell them what toppings you want.

—- this is my first 1 star review… it stems from a series of attempts for this establishment to say it ain’t so. and now I’m pissed. —-
Dear Café,
First let me open this letter by humbly asking you to kill yourself. Please, just tear down your walls, fire your employees, burn your «food» and pray for a black hole to appear under your basement and swallow you whole.
You had me pretty dang fooled. Your large open windows. Your spacious dining area. Your myriad of choices between sandwiches, cooked meals, bakery items, salads, appetizers and even sushi simply caught my attention like a fitness model in lingerie.
I answered your siren-​like calls… subconsciously floating through your doors beckoning for morsels of food. But you didn’t give me food didn’t you… no. you taunted me first. You mockingly display your items on a menu board just to torment me by telling me you can’t make that item because don’t have one of the primary ingredients.
You never really had wasabi mayo at all, did you. No. you just put it on that board so that you could pierce my heart and scrape away my hopeful smile. Week in and week out. the wasabi mayo and a host of other main-​ingredients just seem to walk right out your doors… you toss them don’t you. You see me coming and just toss it all out the door. Or maybe my dimentia has finally come to fruition after being subjected to eating your other options…
You bait me by offering sushi and being one of the only sushi places in town… and then you place them in packages over ice mysteriously without any signs of sushi chef… or an asian… in the building. A part of me feels that the sushi used to be the sushi chef. It’s price tag, tells me to keep quiet or I’d suffer the same fate.
Now that I got over the items that I can select, I thought the pain of it all was over, just as I went to order my food, attempting to soothe the rumbling in my belly.
But you didn’t stop there. No. You then brought your army of imbeciles to «assist» me. The coalition of splendid stupidity confused me in ways that I have developed a twitch from wondering why I had to wait 10 minutes to order my sandwich, 14 minutes to watch you make my sandwich and 8 minutes to pay for my sandwich. The imbeciles are amazing at routinely reminding me just how much this all seems like a high school cafeteria… I thank you for my branded hair net… i will treasure it and use it as a reminder of the day I spent half my lunch hour waiting for a turkey sandwich.
And your price… as my card was swiped through the terminal I believe I actually heard it squeal… a part of my debit card died that day. A part of me died with it.
I enjoyed the trip taking my food to my table, getting further away from those zombie-​like «servers» you employ. I sat down to eat my «food». The artistic formation of leftover wrappers and empty bottles left sitting on food trays displayed upon your typical café tables nearby entertained and disturbed me at the same time. But what was truly harder to figure out than a plan to land on the sun without a tan was how the Feeble Foursome just seemed to not notice of it all.
I can hear the armies of ants forming outside the café walls. I feared the worst.
I ended the consumption of my no tomato or mayo turkey sandwich so voodoo-​like made with tomato and mayo. stopping it with a smoothly burnt espresso.
The memories of my experiences with you will never leave me, as I can’t get the stench of food out of my suit.
I feel we must part Café Caffe. i do this knowing that the love of the angels up in heaven is upon you… for I lost the phone number of the demolition crew I befriended last year.
Don’t call me… I’ll call you.
Yours in WTFism,
H-​Cane E.
