Sad to say this place has turned into a Circus. I have been going to this place for yrs, the previous owner and the staff were respectful, courteous, and accomodating, treated their customers with respect. I was at Arcos the other day and i witness their staff being disrespectful to a customer, including me, i waited 45 minutes for a sandwich and when i couldn't wait any longer i finally asked for my money back, only to be yelled by a 19 yr old who obviously was in need of attention and validation from the rest of the customers seating there. After she finally finished yelling at me, she ended up slamming my sandwich on the counter and said " Here, here is your sandwich, go" i have no respect for a business owner who has these uneducated people working for him. I also witness the owner throwing what he thought was a homeless man out of his establishment, until the poor guy said " i know i look dirty but i just got off work and my wife asked me to stop by to pick up bread. The owner still decided to show him to the door. I was astonished by such behavior.

Arcos is a fantastic pastry shop, with very typical flavors that remind us of Portugal.Her bread with egg made by (Vitalina) is simply mouth-watering, not forgetting to mention the wonderful coffee and the affection with which we are always welcomed by Lu

Portuguese food/bakery the service was good they were busy but got it done. The server was nice and friendly. Got my order right and food was very impressive. The Picadino was so flavorful you could taste the garlic and lemon cilantro. And big portions had to take the rest home. Loved
Amazing pastries, as authentic Portuguese as they can be.Very busy during the holidays, so plan ahead.

I've been living in Kearny for 3 years now and have being coming to this bakery since. I come here 1 or 2 a week. To get my breakfast. The service is slow but I like to support all the local shops in the area, and it's nice to sit by the window some mornings with my breakfast.I had a bad experience today that has turned me off to this place.I came in to order my breakfast to go, and there were 2 people in front of me, and later one man joined the line behind me.I notice one of the girls starts taking the order of the man behind me and starts preparing it. Even tho I had been waiting now several mins to order.The line clears in front of me, and no one is still taking my order. Then they proceed to take his coffee order, prepare it, and then he steps in front of me to pay.I ask why is he being served before me if I have been here before him and have being waiting for a while. She waves it off and says in Portugese to the man 'Don't worry about it, it's just espresso.'Meanwhile she had toasted a pastry for him and made him an espresso.Now, like I said, I've been coming to this Cafe for 3 years, and I'm sure this man has been coming for many years as well. But that is not the point. You should treat all customers, regardless of how long they've been coming with respect and courtesy. And whoever is in line first, should be given priority. Period. And because of that, I will not be returning. There are plenty of coffee shops in the area, I'll take nu business where it is appreciated.

Your little piece of Portugal in Kearny. Their coffee is great, and all the bakes are done on premises.
