Roc’s Café is truly a hidden gem! This Portuguese café and bakery never disappoints. Their cakes are absolutely incredible—always moist, flavorful, and beautifully made. Every dish I’ve tried has been fresh and delicious, with that authentic homemade touch you can only get from a family-owned business. The staff is so warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. And I have to mention the natas… they are to die for! Perfectly flaky, creamy, and sweet in all the right ways. If you’re looking for amazing food, outstanding pastries, and a cozy atmosphere, Roc’s Café is the place to go. Highly recommend!
First time here this morning. Beautiful young lady was super sweet taking my order. Made me feel super comfortable and welcomed. She helped me choose a meal. I went for the Farmer’s omelette. Maybe I’ll update you guys on how it tasted. I’m sure it’s going to be amazing! The restaurant is filled with guest so early all sitting down eating. So to see a place so packed so early I’m sure the food is GREAT!
I am so happy we could stop by here for breakfast. The bagels are fantastic. I tried the salmon and avocado bagel and the turkey one. They’re really large and delicious. The desserts were a bit too sweet for my taste, and the cream on the cake was slightly too rich, but that’s just my personal preference. The only downside was the parking. There’s only street parking available, and on Sunday at 9 AM, there were no open spots, so we had to drive around a few times.
Delicious food and excellent coffee! Perfect for a cold and rainy spring morning. The avocado toast was perfect, crispy top with pillowy bread. The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich was the perfect start to my day! Warm, filling, and tasty! The drip coffee was tasty and a good price. I enjoy coffee and I like to think of myself as a "home barista" so I tried their Cortado. The shot was smooth and well balanced. The milk wasn't steamed with the shot which is a shame but it was still hot and there was some micro foam left over from the previous order. I can't fault them too much for being efficient and not wasting the milk. Overall if you're staying nearby at an airport hotel find a way here and enjoy somewhere local and delicious!
Been coming here for years ! Love the food and service , the outside has gotten some good renovation for the outdoor eating area as well ! Love coming here on weekends 👍🏻
Hands down, the best BLC I’ve ever had!! Super fresh and delicious. Amazing taste, amazing vibe, great prices and they’re open till later in the afternoon! As someone who works overnight, it’s hard to find a place that serves breakfast past 3pm. Do yourself a FAVOR and check out Roc’s Cafe.
**A Hidden Gem with Serious Flavor Power!** Rocs Cafe is an absolute standout—every visit feels like a treat. The star of the show for me is *Kenny’s Steak Power Bowl*. It’s perfectly balanced, loaded with flavor, and hearty enough to keep you going all day. The steak is always tender and seasoned just right, and the fresh veggies and grains make it feel indulgent *and* nourishing at the same time. Don’t leave without checking out their bakery! The selection is incredible, but the *almond tart* deserves its own spotlight. It’s rich, delicate, and hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had—truly to die for. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and food that keeps you coming back. Highly recommend!
Roc’s made my wife’s 30th birthday cake and it was absolutely amazing. Not only did it look beautiful, it tasted even better. Everyone at the party loved it and kept asking where it was from. The flavors were perfect, the presentation was stunning, and it really made the celebration extra special. Highly recommend!!
I was with a family of 8, and we all ordered different dishes. Everything we tried was fantastic, from the drip coffee to the crêpes. The only thing we didn't like much was the Lox of Love sandwich because even the bagel was cold. We were expecting the bagel to be tosted, but other than that seriously tasty, especially the reverse burger. Also, loved that the menu has pictures!
We needed a quick bit around Newark Airport and I’m so happy that I found this place! The food here was amazing and the staff were very attentive and nice. Their drinks were really good and the bakery items taste very fresh. Would definitely go back if I need another bite.
