Cortaditos
4501 Park Ave, Union City, NJ
Crema's Take
“Cortaditos is a vibrant Cuban café that brings authentic specialty coffee culture to Union City, with their signature Cortadito Doble and inventive drinks like mint-infused coffee that showcase real craftsmanship beyond typical café fare. The shop's soul shines through colorful artwork, energetic timba music, and thoughtful touches like a mural of Celia Cruz, creating a lively gathering space that feels like a genuine neighborhood gem rather than a corporate chain. Whether you're sipping espresso, grabbing a perfectly made Cuban sandwich, or just soaking in the warmth and creative energy, this is where real coffee meets cultural pride.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.
