OUR STORY

Las Chicas Bakery & Cafés – A Taste of Home, Right Here in Northern NJ

Las Chicas Bakery & Cafés is more than a place to grab a pastry—it’s a love letter to our heritage. Founded by siblings Daniel, Gabriel, and Cristina, our story begins long before our first oven was fired.

Our parents emigrated from Uruguay when we were young, bringing with them a deep love for the flavors and traditions of both Uruguayan and Armenian cuisine. They passed that love down to us—along with the belief that food is about more than just eating. It’s about gathering, connecting, and creating moments worth remembering.

In 2004, we transformed that passion into our first bakery and café in the heart of Union City, NJ. Our vision was simple: to create a warm, welcoming space where people could slow down, share a meal, and savor life’s simple pleasures—whether over a perfectly brewed cup of coffee, a fresh pastry, or a lingering brunch with friends.

Today, with three locations—including our spots in North Bergen and Guttenberg—our mission remains unchanged. We still bake with the finest ingredients, honor the recipes that shaped our childhood, and infuse every dish with the same heart and soul that inspired us from the very beginning.

Whether you’re stopping by for your morning coffee, indulging in a sweet treat, or enjoying a relaxing weekend brunch, you’ll find that Las Chicas isn’t just about good food—it’s about good vibes, good company, and great memories.
