Cafe Mauro
207 Ridge Rd, Lyndhurst, NJ
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Lyndhurst, this Portuguese-inspired café punches well above its weight with buttery pastries that melt in your mouth—from custard-filled pastéis de nata to croissants that locals swear by—all paired with thoughtfully made coffee and acai bowls that rival pricier competitors. The unassuming corner spot has mastered the art of the slow sit, drawing families and friends who linger over breakfast spreads and light lunch fare in a genuinely charming, clean space that feels like a warm corner of Lisbon. At these prices, it's become the kind of place people detour for, whether grabbing a quick latte or settling in for a full Portuguese breakfast experience.”

I love their acai bowls, incredible taste for incredible price. Pretty sure they're around $10, depending on toppings. Way better to get them here instead of Nata's and Bowls. Very cutesy decoration and good seating, as well as amazing employees.
Cafe Mauro is a cozy spot that delivers big flavor. Their tosta mixta on a croissant is the perfect sweet-salty bite, and the sponge cake was out of this world.
I was a early to pick up a friend in the area and as I drove by this corner unassuming yet gorgeous and clean little bakery, I decided to stop to get a latte and see what they offered for breakfast. Owner created me graciously and I ordered a ham egg and cheese sandwich on a Portuguese roll that was delicious. As I’m eating I noticed several people coming in to but their home made Pastel di Natal ( showed in my pictures) and I had to try it! It was so fresh and amazing that I ordered 10 to go! OMG you guys have to stop by and try them 😍. I will definitely come back to try other things, everything looks fresh and delicious. It’s a 10 out of 10 for me so yesss; I recommend this place!
First time today and it was amazing!!! I had the croissant with butter with a coffee! I’ve had the mini pao de lo and the Nutella pastel de nata and they melt in your mouth!!! Definitely 5 stars!
Oh my !!!! This Portuguese cafe is to die for, first time stepping in I ordered a toasted, buttered sweet bread & croissant 🥐 my boyfriend ordered the chorizo bread & a ham, egg & cheese sandwich. They have such a large selection of pastries that all looked amazing! The staff is extremely friendly. Cute place to sit and relax. Right on ridge road with ample amount of parking. I will definitely be visiting again soon! Thank you 😊
