Alkazar Bakery
110 E Jersey St, Elizabeth, NJ
Crema's Take
“This beloved Elizabeth bakery is a genuine Uruguayan and Argentine gem where the pastries are worth driving over an hour for, paired with surprisingly excellent coffee and fresh-squeezed orange juice that locals grab before work and visitors make special trips to experience. The staff radiates warmth, the prices punch well above their weight for quality, and every item—from buttery medialunas to savory beef empanadas—arrives beautifully presented and thoughtfully seasoned. It's the kind of early-morning spot where tradition, care, and community collide in the most delicious way.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
