Buenos Aires Bakery

ARGENTINA Excerpt from Eat the World NYC: It was a massive feeling of guilt that finally inspired coming inside Roosevelt Avenue mainstay Buenos Aires Bakery. On other days and other visits nearby, there was never room for even one of the shop's delicious alfajores. But after a destination fell through recently, it was time to enjoy some empanadas and mate cocido. The corner space is tight, you immediately are surrounded by stacks of bread and cookies. Towering above are thermoses with River Plate and Boca Juniors emblazoned on the side, Argentina's two biggest football clubs. Blue and white tiles behind the counter use the colors from Argentina's flag to create the feeling. A look behind the counter shows a heated case full of many empanadas, which can be enjoyed both baked and fried, and taken home by the dozen. Argentinian style empanadas employ a thin buttery crust that loses its form easily once you start digging in. They let the meat and spices within do the talking and are served without any sauces.

This is such a cute small place with a bunch of different options to choose from. The woman is nice and everything looks clean. However, I did not like the taste of any of my treats, except for the meringue. They taste like they've been in the fridge for days. I really wanted to like this place.

This bakery has good pastries but they are not authentic Argentinian flavors! Facturas have guava jam instead of “dulce de membrillo” and it seems they are made with dehydrogenated fat instead of butter which makes them greasy and yellowish instead of flaky and white. “sándwich de miga” are made of ham and pineapples ? or cream cheese and ham ?. When I asked for a “sandwich de milanesa” they replied “beef or chicken?” milanesa is made of beef only!! The milanesa was very good though!! The chicken one is called suprema in Argentina. The coffee is not Argentinian style neither cortado or lagrima, is just a regular coffee. Very disappointing. It’s an ok bakery. Not Argentinian at all, the name Buenos Aires is very misleading.

Great hospitality, awesome selection of Argentinean desserts!

Best bakery in Jackson Heights. No wonder they have been around for over 20 years in the neighborhood. Fresh baked goods, try the cuernitos and the fruit filled pastries. They also make the best pan de muerto available during Halloween and the Rosca de Reyes available for January 6 Three Kings day

I've been buying argentinian pastries for years, they never disappoint. In my opinion is one if the best places if you like argentinian "facturas '.

Traditional Argentinian bakery. The "Migas" bread with ham,chese and mayo are their speciality. Media Lunas Half moon argentinian for.croissants are soft,sweet and perfect for a good coffee

I have been going here a long time since i was a kid and i still go, best bakery every and my favorite bakery ever. :3 love them cookies

Delicious argentinian and uruguayan pastries. You can also find great imported products from Uruguay and Argentina, like Yerba Mate and Dulce de Leche milk caramel. Polite service.

Great Food, great people... I live in NJ and I always make sure that if I’m in queens to stop and buy a their delicious empanadas and a couple frozen milanesas and make a great sandwich at home. Thanks ladies for a experience and Foods.
