“ The food is always amazing but you need to fire GLORIA. She was incredible rude & just having an attitude. I was with my family we treated her with nothing but kindness and she was incredibly rude for no reason. Little slick & snappy comments , but as soon as a man asked for her help she turned with a smile. ”
“ For me the best Colombian bakery in all NJ. They have a big quantity of options of bakery as empanadas de cambrai (arequipe or bocadillo), pandenonos, buñuelos, pandequeso, pan crema, churros, different kinds of breads with and without cheese, empanadas (meat, chicken or cheese), milhojas (my favorite).
