New Buenos Aires Bakery & Cafe

With Porto’s Bakery & Cafe nearby (and usually packed), this place could be such a solid Plan B if you don’t feel like standing in line. That’s why it feels like a missed opportunity. The space looks like it was maybe going for rustic, but it just feels kind of thrown together. The furniture and decor are tacky, the pastry display looks sad, and the whole place has a “storage room we accidentally walked into” vibe. The chalkboard menu is hard to read, so ordering isn’t exactly smooth either. The food didn’t help. The empanadas didn’t taste fresh. The ham-and-cheese one was basically a rolled slice of ham with cheese inside. And the meat empanada had a piece of bone in it, which is just not okay. The music was also kind of annoying and added to the weird atmosphere. Overall, not somewhere I’d go back to.

New Buenos Aires Bakery & Cafe is a must go. We stop by all the time for their pastries, empanadas, and coffee. Everything is fresh, tasty, and priced well. The server was kind and friendly, which made the visit even better.

The only thing I wish is that they were more noticeable from the street. There’s no outdoor seating, so you kind of have to already know the place exists. Maybe that’s why there’s never a line. Honestly, a spot this good should be packed with people waiting.

I highly recommend it.

I placed an order of empanadas . I went to pick them up and brought them home. They were heated up at the place. They weren’t fresh what I believed they’re frozen and they’re defrosted to heated when you order them. They were so terrible I got sick . Please make sure they’re fresh. This people don’t care if you get sick. Very disappointed. I spent about 50 dollars waisted to the trash. I was really afraid to get sick. Very unresponsive people. They don’t care you get sick.🤢

i called earlier in day for a to go order. I was excited to try their empanadas, and planned to share with others at a gathering this evening. I asked if I could come prior to their closing at 5:00. I said I would arrive 4:40ish. I went to pickup at 4:40 and store i'ds closed and locked. I called and got Voicemail. I guess they didn't want my business. Not very good business practice to leave me without. Don't know if I will return.

Good place to grab a quick empanada. I had the spinach and cheese and beef. The spinach and cheese was better than the beef in my opinion.

Vegetarian options: Spinach and cheese empanada
