Chapin Restaurant & Bakery

25 Top Restaurants in Jersey City - Eater NY

"The double storefront in the bucolic Communipaw neighborhood boasts a bakery on one side and cafe on the other, both open early in the morning. Out of one side flies elaborately decorated, celebratory cakes. Out of the other side comes classic Guatemalan dishes, including a beautiful abundant ceviche served in a plastic cup containing fish, shrimp, and surimi, dotted with tomatoes in a tart wash and served with tortilla chips. The tamales are fabulous, too, and so are the numerous breakfast combos featuring eggs, cheese, plantains, and chorizo. There’s even a Guatemalan take on Chinese chow mein." - Robert Sietsema
