Café Central & South Bbq 2 (East Newark)
160 Central Ave, Newark, NJ
Crema's Take
“Café Central & South BBQ 2 is a casual neighborhood spot in East Newark that does straightforward, satisfying breakfast and sandwiches right, especially when they're firing on all cylinders—think crispy home fries and bacon-egg-and-cheese on genuinely fresh Portuguese rolls. The vibe is genuinely cozy with a friendly crew, though consistency seems to be their Achilles heel, so you might want to order in-person rather than through apps to catch them on a good day.”

need to close honestly.. poor food quality and wait time for takeout is ridiculous. waited almost 40 mins for takeout that was supposed to be 15 min wait and orders weren’t even correct
Don’t order from the Too good to go app. It a surprise bag I know. But you state it’s “Bread & Pastries but you Handed me hot food. Smells nasty to me so I wasted my money. I won’t go here again. How it smells idk how anyone goes to eat here.
Very good steak sandwich. This cafe is well priced and good quality. I recommend it for savory breakfast.
Fries come with a sandwich order which is a plus. The coffee was fresh, and came out nice and hot. The place feels cozy, and theres indoor seating.
The people at Café Central are lovely and the food was delicious. Simple casual vibe. I had bacon egg and cheese on the lightest freshest and flaky Portuguese roll with powerful home fries. Took some Ecuadorian sweet & cheesy empanadas to go.
