Crema's Take
“This cozy Colombian spot in Elizabeth wins hearts with their standout empanadas and traditional pastries, though quality can be inconsistent depending on who's behind the counter. The tight, no-frills space fills up with families and Spanish speakers who come for authentic flavors and genuinely warm service from the staff, making it feel like a neighborhood gathering place despite the mixed reviews on their hot entrées. If you know what to order (stick with the fried specialties and skip the cooked proteins), you'll find honest, homemade food that doesn't break the bank.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Small area but sells amazing empanadas the ladies are always super friendly and nice. Empanadas where cheap and delicious
I usually don't leave reviews but the empanadas I purchased from here had to be the worst I've ever eaten. They were overcooked, barely any meat, and mostly filled with potatoes, tiny and over priced. I also purchased 2 natural drinks and they were sooo bad! They tasted spoiled…
Might be the worst food I’ve had in years. Chicken taste like it was injected and soaked in vinegar for 7 years. Steak was even worst. Like a wet rag dipped in salt. Just gross.
