40 Best Bakeries in Elizabeth

“This is my go to Colombian bakery. I have been a loyal customer since 2012.
Their menu is limited if you are planning to dine in, however, it is quite reliable and consistent. It is pure comfort food.

If you are not that adventurous, I highly recommend their empanadas de carne (beef and potatoes) and pan de bono (cheese bread). Those are usually the favorites of any picky eaters that join us 😁“

“This small bakery in New Jersey has been my favorite since it opened near my house. The owners are always friendly, and their service is top-notch. While there are only two seats, it’s perfect for takeout.

Their sandwiches are freshly made with soft bread, crisp ham, and cheese, grilled just right for a nice crunch. I usually pair mine with their fries, which are golden, well-seasoned, and always fresh.

I highly recommend their flan—it’s smooth, rich, and full of flavor!

If you’re placing a custom order for a birthday or special event, ask for the coconut cake. It’s a hidden gem with a light, delightful, almost angelic taste.

They’re also known for their fresh juices and delicious salchipapas.

Overall, this bakery is a hidden gem in Elizabeth, New Jersey—perfect for a quick, satisfying meal with a personal touch. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly spot that doesn’t compromise on quality or flavor, this place is well worth the visit.“

“Two Brothers Bakery/restaurant in Elizabeth, NJ was a delightful surprise. I went in for a some patties and ended up leaving with a bag full of goodies! The lady at the counter was incredibly friendly and helpful, which is a refreshing change from some Haitian restaurants I've been to.

The patties tho! These were some of the best I've had – perfectly fluffy, full with flavor, and absolutely delicious. Reminds me of the patties from the late 90s in Haiti. If you're a fan of savory pastries, Two Brothers Bakery is a must-visit.

Overall, the experience was so positive that I'll definitely be back next time I'm in North Jersey. Two Brothers Bakery is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise!“

“5 Star“

“Great food and a fun atmosphere, large portions.Friendly staff attempted to help us read the menus as we did not speak Spanish. Next time we will try their frozen drinks.“

“Simple, unpretentious, affordable, excellent. What more can I say. Everything is fresh with that homemade taste and quality. Their tres leches cake is out of this world, the crepes made by David are delicious, Lily was very patient, understanding my order, she has amazing customer service skills! Great service and atmosphere! 100% satisfied.“

“I really like their tacos and the green sauce. The red sauce is awful though. Out of every other place around this area (midtown/downtown elizabeth ave?) the tacos are actually pretty well priced and a decent size with good amount of meat and toppings.“

“kind of long wait for food But it was Very GoodThis large space is clean , lots of seating for parties. Bathrooms are clean & for customer only. Ask for key at cashier. Nice open view of Elizabeth Avenue. If you plan to visit on weekends, be early because it gets very busy

Vegetarian options: They offer fruit & basic salads, but anything on requests.

Dietary restrictions: They usually don't cook food with salt or pepper. The waitresses will get for you on requests.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp to the door, but people are always willing to help you get in if you're by yourself. ?“

“Visiting my hometown over the weekend, and searching for a place to have breakfast. Found it online and they had breakfast sandwiches that I had not have in a very long time. The sandwiches were such a generous size and they were extremely delicious!! Great little place. Wish I was closer“

“Es un restaurante muy bello y se siente como eres parte de la familia 🩵“

“I have been to countless places for breakfast and I usually get egg & cheese with a bagel or croissant. I got it with croissant and coffee, and I have to say, it was probably the BEST egg and cheese I've ever had. Croissant was freshly baked, the ratio of egg and cheese was perfect. Coffee was so much better than some "fancy" cafes.
Let's not forget about customer service. The ladies working there were very friendly and seemed like they actually love their job interacting with customers!
I would visit this place often if I didn't live 50 miles away.“

“Really fantastic and beyond compare Ecuadorian bakery and restaurant found off Broad St. in Elizabeth. Delicious, humble, home-cooked daily specials, empanadas, and bread stemming from Ambato.“
