Teixeira's Bakery

Service is slow but that's how it is and if you don't like it don't go there. Bread is amazing! Pastries even more amazing. Love the atmosphere

Great

Growing up in Newark I took for granted how easy it was to find great custard cups and Portuguese rolls. Now living in California, I always look forward to visiting my family in NJ, both to see them and of course enjoy some deliciously authentic baked goods from Teixeira's Bakery!

The custard cups are absolutely perfect. My college friends always looked forward to visits from my family because that meant delicious custard cups were also coming. When my roommate TJ heard they were coming "Oh god..." was all he could mutter. When my parents moved out of Newark, they even got our American neighbors hooked on custard cups; our neighbors' toddlers also look forward to my visits because there are guaranteed custard cup deliveries!

I love bread, but Portuguese rolls are one-of-a-kind. I grew up on sloppy joes prepared on Portuguese rolls; they were the backbone of my lunch through most of elementary school! A toasted, buttered Portuguese roll with a glass of soymilk is my go-to breakfast when I visit home. Really, anything on a Portuguese roll transforms into something infinitely better. Growing up, whatever we had for dinner would quickly be put into a Portuguese roll and it always resulted in a delicious sandwich!

My parents don't live in Newark anymore, but fortunately both of these Portuguese staples can be stored for up to a week. Throw the custard cups in the fridge and freeze and the bread, and you'll never be without these gifts from the culinary gods.

Delicious parties, the walnut ring was delicious.

Always happy to get to stop here when in Newark! The almond and cinnamon ring pastries were amazing....so many wonderful things to choose from - THANK YOU!
