Criollisimo Sandwich Shop
345 Arch St, New Britain, CT
Crema's Take
“This Puerto Rican sandwich shop excels at capturing authentic Caribbean flavors, particularly the pernil that transports regulars straight back home. The pastries and desserts—flan, cheesecake with coconut crumb, and fresh pastries—are genuinely exceptional, though execution can be inconsistent with some sandwiches arriving cold or over-seasoned, so stick with their strengths and ask for recommendations.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.
