El Coquí Café
12 Market St, Lyndhurst, NJ
Crema's Take
“El Coquí Café brings genuine warmth to Lyndhurst with a tight-knit atmosphere where the staff genuinely celebrates both their Puerto Rican heritage and their customers—regulars rave about feeling welcomed like family every visit. While pricing skews high and coffee quality gets mixed reviews, the heart of this place shines through in fresh, bold sandwiches like their famous San Sebastian and Cuban offerings, paired with a small-but-mighty space that somehow manages to feel both intimate and lively.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
