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.

Food was decent, nothing spectacular in taste but expensive; $10 for a bacon egg and cheese is outrageous. The Cuban sandwich was good and fresh. However, the drinks we bought weren’t good. Teddy Latte drink and mango smoothie just didn’t fulfill our expectations. Nice, cozy cafe but I prefer other places.

I knew this cafe was gonna be great but to experience it first hand was beautiful. Not only was the food amazing but the service was lovely. Everyone was so nice and friendly. They deserve every customer and blessing they receive.

The food is amazing, the service is even better, the atmosphere although small feels safe, loving. The staff genuinely cares about the food and customers. Everytime I’ve come in I’ve been welcomed and the food is flavorful and filling. It feels like home 🇵🇷

This was our first time trying puerto rican food! We were absolutely blown away. The customer service was so welcoming and helpful! I was admittedly a bit lost but the cashier was very friendly and helped me out with my order. We spoke a bit about the restaurant and the food they offered! It’s actually two different restaurants owned by the same people; one is this cafe, the other is a full blown restaurant. As an Argentinian, I was shocked to see they offered alfajores, so I will be back to try that. Overall I will just be back in general. Expect me

I went yesterday with my mom and I loved it. We read that the San Sebastian was a good option so we had that. It is a big sandwich so ill definitely share with someone next time. It was a little greasy but it was delicious. We also has the quesito with guava as a dessert. Ok so this was delicious and perfectly made. It was flaky and the quava tasted fresh. I spoke to the owner and told him that it was perfect. He said it's his wife's recipe. I say to everyone reading this, Go and experience it for yourself. My mom had a cup of their coffee and she said it was great. I will def go back.
