cafemediterraneo Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 I've been watching the development of the lot behind Farmacia Guadalajara and ran into the owner. He's a nice Mexican young man who is interested in keeping I'll keeping a clean Kosher kitchen and using organic ingredients as much as possible. He bakes his own breads and bagels and has free trade coffees. Best thing, he's planning on opening at 8am and he's in my neighborhood! It's a beautiful clean and cozy place. He said he'll be opening this week, either Wednesday or Thursday.....I'll keep ya posted. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafemediterraneo Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 I went by yesterday to wish Naz and the gang todo la suerte on their opening. The place looked beautiful and the fresh breads and pastries enticing.... I bought a bagel and a cinnamon bun. Wow. Best bagel I've had here yet, and I'm originally from NJ, so I've been eating them since I was a kid. The proper chewy crust and tender inside, a real treat. The cinnamon bun at first looked hard and dry, but no, the outside is crispy layers that melt in your mouth and the interior cake-like with a touch of orange with the spice. I will be buying more and will try their artisan bread as well. Can't wait to try their free trade coffees...

Bisbee Gal Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Are they baking on premises, or resale of baked goods from elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Great bakes! Crusty on the outside, soft on inside. Got a chia bagel, cinnamon roll and a sweet cardamom roll. Personable owner. Nice addition to our food scene. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 We got 2 great sandwiches - one was short ribs, the other salmon. Excellent bread and generous fillings. Can't wait to try the cinnamon rolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPanda Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Just had the cinammon roll. It was basically an over-baked ring of churro with canela sprinkling. Tasty, yep, but not a cinammon bun. So, like any place, personal taste and trial and error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

court0503 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Went this morning and to my great surprise the bagels are like the real NYC bagels I’m used to - well, very incredibly close at least- and the (warm!) walnut raisin bread loaf is to die for. Very pleasant place , pleasant staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafemediterraneo Posted December 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 And they're open on Sundays! I don't know if any one else used to go to the bakery after mass and pick up a bag of warm goodies and a Sunday newspaper, but I've been surprised that no one up until now has recognized this potential market.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 My husband was there this morning picking up breakfast treats - and they are true treats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrod Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I've been a few times, and have tried a number of items. They make a pastry that they call cardamom...but it is a very faint hint. It is similar to their cinnamon rolls (which have no icing, just sugar on top) and both are sufficient to serve two people--generously. It's great with coffee. Their bagels are very good also! Really nice young people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsnob Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I have been getting their outstanding sandwiches, the lox and bagel is the best l have had anywhere,lots of salmon, this week l tried croissant stuffed with ham, very good, in my three weeks of going there l have never had anything to complain about, try the frenchtoust with apple sauce and fruit, very unusual and tasty...
