Crema's Take

Empabake is a neighborhood gem in Lyndhurst where the empanadas steal the show—from savory ropa vieja with plantain to sweet guava and cheese—but don't overlook their fresh-baked pastries and specialty drinks that make it worth the walk across the street. The spot captures that perfect balance of quick-grab convenience and genuine care, with regulars praising both the quality of ingredients and the warm, family-friendly service that makes you feel known the moment you walk in. Whether you're fueling up for the day with their full breakfast spread or stopping by for an afternoon coffee and a sweet treat, this is the kind of place that smells like home and tastes even better.

Had 6 different empanadas an all of them were so delicious! Ropa vieja with plantain, Buffalo Chicken, and Guava w/ cheese were my top favorites. Anything from sweet to savory and amazing customer service. 3 years of yummy food

First time eating here & after an hour long delivery from uber eats 🙄, the food was still hot & taste fresh. The beef empanadas were delicious with just the right amount of seasoning (not overly salty which is great). The ropa vieja empanada was also very tasty. Keep up the great work. The place looks very clean so I plan to go in person soon.

It was my first time going there as I live literally across the street from them. So I decided to come in today and try mostly their sweet delights and boba tea. Oh my god it was peak..I the guava cheesecake was so good and wasn't too dense or anything, I haven't tried the tiramisu or guava tart yet but I know they will be just as good as the cheesecake. Oh and their boba tea is wonderful too. I got the taro one as it's the only one I get from any cafe or restaurant that sells them and it was good too, the popping boba pearls was a nice touch and added good balance to the tea itself.

If you are looking for that Neighborhood-friendly spot that you can wake up and walk or drive to and grab your cup of coffee and smell that sweet aroma of fresh baked goods, this is your place. I love supporting local businesses, and I've had the luxury of trying multiple things on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. Everything from the juices to the empanadas is fantastic! I even did a feature on my Instagram for this bakery. I love it. My Friends and family love it! And the owner is super friendly, which is a bonus. Don't forget to mention your community realtor recommended it.
