Argentina Bakery

“Yellow sponge cake lined with dulce de leche (think: thick, dark caramel), crispy merengue and a bit of diced peaches.”

“Just the combination of meringue, peach, nuts and caramel makes this cake awesome!”

“Just had the Argentian cake w/meringue crumbled on the side was by far the tastiest cake I've had.”

  1. This place is amazing! Everything that comes out of this bakery is just magical! So many delicious options to choose from. Birthday cakes, cheesecakes, flan, etc they do it all.  

    Staff is really friendly and helpful they really make sure that you are satisfied with your choice is size, flavor and any baking needs. So many yummy pastries to choose from as well along mini empanadas that come in various options. Everything looks freshly baked

    The prices are very reasonable for the amount of cake and deliciousness you are getting. I highly recommend this bakery to anyone.

  2. Best bakery in New Jersey. My parents have bought cake from this bakery since I can remember!! I'm a hardcore advocate for this bakery because their sweets are so delicious!
    What I recommend: try the little sweet rolls called piononos, it's literally a roll with dulce de leche inside!!! It's so good, I can eat a thousand of these haha.
    Also, the cake!!! I wish I took a picture of the most recent cake I bought. I'm Peruvian so I'm used to these types of sweets but just so you know I'm not biased, I bought a cake for my friends graduation party where all his family is not of Latino descent and they LOVED it!!! The fifty people that were there kept asking who had brought it and where it was bought from. Also, I had it decorated with the usual flowers except they were red & black (our school's color!) and a cap was put on it. They were very accommodating with my decoration demands haha. I bought a square cake for 45 people for 50 dollars (the graduation cap decor + decor was an extra $5).  
    The only thing that I would consider a con is the lack of parking space, but not even that would stop me from giving this bakery a solid 5 stars!

  3. Thanks to fellow Yelpers, I found this local gem and am happy to provide it with yet another glowing five star review.

    This establishment is one of the rare ones I have reviewed where I simply have no complaints at all.

    The service was friendly yet straightforward, and the staff member working with me was very patient in answering my rather inept questions with regards to their available cakes. (I am not a sweets person by any means.)

    As it turns out, I ended up walking out with a chocolate cake that received a thumbs up from the hosts and guests at the party I brought it to. I am not a fan of chocolate at all, but I found that they countered the bittersweet chocolate flavor with a suitable quantity of other  ingredients, resulting in a product that has just the right amount of sweetness and almost zero bitterness from the chocolate.

    I am more an expert in identifying the savory as opposed to the sweet, so I cannot identify the ingredients used through taste alone. In any case, it really doesn't matter. If you haven't been here before, you really need to drop by for your next special occasion or if you are just craving a quick snack for yourself and/or the family.

  4. Before we met up with a few friends for dinner, we stopped here so we could bring them some pastries. We usually order the cake with the peach on top and the Dulce de Leche filling which is my hands-down favorite cake but we decided to go with some of their smaller deserts this time and they were equally as good. I also noticed that they make other food, not just deserts. I had no idea! I saw sandwiches which looked really good as well as a quiche which I would love to try next time. This bakery is definitely top-notch and we'll be coming back for my favorite cake for our New Years party.

  5. I have coming to this bakery for the last 20 years for one thing only…….their Argentinian cake.  I actually never even knew Argentinians made better cake then the rest of the world. You see, I was a Dominican Cake believer, then a Mexican Tres Leches cake aficionado, and please don't get me started on a real Italian Tiramisu!

    But once you come here, and yes there is always a line, you will understand. There are tons of pastries, and sandwiches and alfajoras…..

    but focus. You're not here for that. You are here for cake.

    Once you bite into that first bite of creamy, moistness….you will understand. Let the flavors of peaches, nuts and spongy goodness envelope your mind. This is heaven and it only cost you $3. Come here, get a full cake, get addicted and then tell your friends, and then give me some credit on your Yelp review.

    You're welcome.

  6. Cute little Argentinian bakery that serves authentic goodies like flan and alfajores. We were just passing by but were lured in by the intoxicating sweet smell that spills onto the sidewalk. The flan was delicious and the service was friendly.

  7. I honestly try to avoid this place.  Why?  Because I don't run 10 miles a day.

    The Tres Leches here is epic.  The best I've had in the area.  No contest.

    Their Argentina cake (I call it Argentina Birthday Cake) is equally fantastic.  They sometimes have it available by the slice, I highly recommend it.  Service is better than average too.

  8. Sweet cravings are the worst but Thank God Argentina bakery is just a short ride away. This was my first time here and the baked goods did not disappoint. I usually go to dulce de leche in West New York but this place has reached that level so no need for that. The pastries were amazing. I ordered the oreja which was perfectly sweet and had the right crunch. The churro with dulce the leche was really doughy a d delicious. Their tres leches has created a new standard.
    The maizena alfajor was the only thing that was not a success. It has a lot of dough but maybe that's their style.
    It was crowded when I got there so I figure it's popular spot in the area. The staff is really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back.
