Las Chicas Bakery

"The best place I have loved this place for many years."

"I LOVE Las Chicas! I have been here for take out and dine in, and it’s never disappointed. Since “everything is amazing” isn’t detailed enough, down the rabbit hole we go! First of all, the staff is friendly. There are many delicious places in the area, but Las Chicas is friendly AND they’re helpful, as well as patient. They don’t make you feel like you’re bothering them when you ask a question about their many delights. The opera cake is incredible-a decadent dance of chocolate and caramel, and hard chocolate top layer that houses a homemade pirouette wafer and dulce de leche macaroon. The pastries are not overly sweet, light and crisp. The savory and sweet empanadas are heaven sent. The coffee is hot and strong, as it should be! The ambience is calm and relaxing, and they have wifi- making it a great place to write, work, or read. The windows are large and sunny, and while they’re not out yet, they place tables and chairs on the sidewalk for the summer. Las Chicas is a FIERCE competitor of good bakeries in the area, and yet lives in a class of its own with Uruguayan deliciousness that no one else offers. The motel of the story is go! Go! Go! Give yourself a good experience you won’t regret."

"Excellent pastries, sandwiches and cakes. Going early and getting a freshly baked croissant is an amazing experience. We're also huge fans of their tres leches cake, among the best I've had. The service is very friendly and efficient. The place itself is clean and inviting."

"Delicious, beautiful place. The ham and cheese sandwich was great! The coffee very good and the staff is very friendly. Nice decorations!"

"Las Chicas is a Uruguayan style cafe and bakery with a quaint, rustic Interior aesthetic, friendly and hard-working staff, and excellent selection of desserts, baked goods, and drinks. If there’s a soccer match worth watching, they’re likely playing it on the TV here. The music here is great, usually some combination of Latino influenced ska, reggae, rap fusion. Think Bomba Estéreo or Manu Chao. They’re always improving things. A few months ago their pasqualina was way too bready, but they recently made it leaner and tastier. The glaze on their empanadas is thicker, giving them a more golden appearance. All-in-all, I love it here. Very chill and relaxed vibe unless it’s very crowded (which is bound to happen when the food is good). I like the prices and the coffee is on point, which is a must if you’re going to compete in this neighborhood. Check out their downtown location in Union City for a similar yet slightly different experience."
