Panaderya Salvaje

Easily the best ube latte croissant of my life—just look at that glorious amount of coffee cream filling!! I was so excited to check out this new-ish Filipino bakery in Downtown Jersey City. They have an incredible line-up of sweet and savory pastries inspired by classic Filipino flavors. Everything was soooo good that it was hard to pick a favorite! Their pastries sell out quickly, and the weekend line can get long. My pro tips: go early if there’s something specific you want, and check their stories for the daily menu and stock updates! ＊Ube Latte Croissant $8 This is their signature croissant, and it truly lives up to the hype! The lamination was beautiful and the layers were incredibly flaky. The ube white chocolate ganache gave it such a strong ube flavor, and the coffee pastry cream was so rich I literally licked up the last bit. ＊Longanisa Sausage Roll$8 Longanisa tastes a lot like chorizo, but it’s sweeter and noticeably garlicky. The puff pastry had a lovely caramelized flavor that paired perfectly with it. I’d definitely get this again. ＊Beer Caramel Cake $8 I’m not usually a caramel girl, but the beer-infused caramel totally converted me! It tasted amazing with the whipped mascarpone and vanilla sponge. I just wish there was more raspberry jam for a more tangy flavor. ＊Kare Kare Croissant $11 Inspired by the traditional filipino stew kare-kare, this savory croissant was stuffed to the max!! The beef filling had rich peanut-y, coconut-y flavors, and the crushed peanuts added the perfect crunch. I know the price is steep, but it’s so well-crafted and filling that it really feels worth it.

I’ve been to Panaderya a few times now and it’s consistently great. The Ube Almond Croissant is a must—super flaky and the flavor is spot on. I also really enjoyed the Ube Croissant Latte and the bread pudding. Everything they make is high quality and has a really interesting twist. Definitely worth checking out if you're in JC!

I got invited by a friend to come to this bakery and it was phenomenal. The staff were amazingly kind and knowledgeable of the food and the bakery uses Filipino flavors in their pastry’s and desserts. I got a couple of items and they all were delicious. My favorite was the Longaniza Pastry, and the Ube Piaya. The longaniza was savory and sweet with a crispy dough. The Ube Piaya was sweet and chewy. Some other mentions which were just as good is the Kare Kare croissant, and the brownie. If you want some good Filipino inspired pastry and desserts come by this bakery.

10/10 they know what they’re doing in terms of baking. Awesome croissants. In my experience you generally need to come early because they run bakers hours - shop closes when the batches sell. Personal favorite - the savory croissant with ham slide in the middle.

all the pastries are so good and such unique flavors! i love the ube latte croissant & olive oil loaf but something needs to be said about the savory ones - it’s not everyday that a savory pastry hits the spot but the pork pot pie was soo delicious and flavorful. will be back for sure

absolutely loved their ube latte croissant and their matcha muscovado latte is so good! The staff is so warm and welcoming, and even though there was a bit of a wait, it was absolutely worth it. If you’re looking for something unique yet familiar–turning beloved Filipino favorites into beautiful pastries, this is the bakery to visit. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their pastries!

This is a cute café, and worth the stop in when there is not a line wrapping around the block. It smelled so buttery and inviting when walking in. There is a limited amount of pastries available a day and a small selection. They usually always have a croissant, brownie and the paiya. I had the ube paiya and a monkey bread that was made of croissant pieces and young coconut on the top. The monkey bread was light, flaky and buttery. I liked it a lot. The ube paiya tasted like a pound of sugar, it was way too sweet. The prices for some things are too expensive, they have a pineapple croissant that is $9. I rarely spend $9 on a breakfast pastry. It is definitely like a once in a while treat, it would be hard to justify going to this place everyday. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, you can tell they love what they do and are very passionate about it. No space to sit inside, very small but there are two benches and a couple of chairs outside. It’s a to go place. Stop in to try something unique!

What delicious, perfectly flaky croissants and pastries with unique, delicate flavors. Salvaje has elevated filipino desserts, fused with French culinary techniques. Definitely highly recommend!

Got here at 7:30am on a Saturday and there were only a handful of people ahead of us. Small spot with limited seating, mainly grab-and-go. I tried one of everything, and these stood out: * Tocino & Cheese Croissant - savory, with bacon baked into the layers * Ube Latte Croissant - rich and custardy * Tablea Brownie - dense and rich, but pricey at $7 * Coffee Croissant Loaf - great pull-apart style; perfect for sharing or portioning * Calamansi Olive oil Cake - pound cake with lemon meringue Ones I'd skip next time: * Ube Piaya - nothing special * Dinakdakan Pot Pie - not my taste, though the chili oil kick was nice Overall: Worth it if the line is under 30 minutes and anything on the menu spikes your interest.

Picked up this ube pastry to try it out and it was very good. The place was busy when I visited. Staff was cool! They got a good assortment of pastries. You'll find something here to like!

So good & worth the hype! I love their ube piaya and kare kare croissant! I definitely recommend to go early since they typically sell out and longer wait to get your baked goods/coffee!

Amazing pastries & coffee as well! Highly recommend! Follow their IG page for more. Definitely best bakery in Jersey! Worth the trek from nyc! Ube latte croissant, all savory items, and also the piaya!!! Iykyk!!

Ever since Panderya Salvaje joined the neighborhood, I've been finding myself grabbing a weekly treat (or three). The menu changes so be sure to check their instagram for their daily menu before traveling to the store. I'd personally like to see more of the (ube, pandan) flavors incorporated into the dough versus frosting, as it is messy and runny. I recommend going earlier during the day though, once they sell out they will close for the day. Love the savory croissants :)

Savory items were delicious My friend had to line up before opening to have a pick at the selection

It is a cute little Filipino bakery and the staff are friendly. The pastries are delicious, and they are not too sweet. My favorite was the ube piaya and pandan & fig pastry. Their Ube croissants are only sold on the weekends. I happened to stop by on Wednesday and their did not have them.

After three tries, I finally managed to get something! You really do have to come early, or else they're going to be sold out! The first time, I foolishy thought I'd stop by on my way to the bagel store around 11am. They were already sold out. Doors closed. The second time, it was around 10am and the line was down the block and almost most things were sold out. The third time, I started lining up around 9:15am and managed to get three things - the calamansi loaf, ube playa, and the brownie. I also had a muscovado matcha latte, which was fantastic. The calamansi loaf was kind of similar to a lemon meringue loaf and was delightful. The brownie, oh my gosh the brownie! It was so moist and fudgey. I would defintiely get both of these again.

Great food and very friendly staff. I got the ube piaya and chicken sisig kolache and both were flavorful and reasonably priced. I was hoping to try the ube latte croissant, but it wasn't on the menu when I went, so I'll have to come back soon! And while everyone was so nice, I will say the lines are pretty long for a grab and go service. Hopefully it's just part of the growing pains of a new spot.

Always happy to support small businesses especially Asian owned! The line moves slowly so give yourself ample time to wait. I tried their muscovado latte, which was honestly a bit too sweet for me, but I was curious. Of the pastries, I thought the calamari olive oil cake loaf was outstanding. My second favorite was the Tocino cheese croissant. It was a decadent morning haha

I went when there was no line, which probably made my experience smoother than most (as I don't think it's worth it with a wait!) I wouldn't trek from NYC just for this like someone else did in the reviews. Jersey City doesn't exactly have a wealth of standout bakeries, so the bar here is lower by default (Radio Bakery, Dominique Ansel, Somedays, etc. are in another league entirely). The pot pie was a miss--it was basically a cup of pork fat....No real meat, just really greasy and heavy. The calamansi meringue thing was... fine. Too sweet because of the meringue, not balanced. Since I live nearby I would come here again but I think what happens in JC is that because options are limited, people start hyping anything that's even halfway decent. By that measure, sure, this place is "better than average." But better than average in JC doesn't mean you should wait 30 min in line for it. (I was lucky and didn't have a wait)

Went in the morning this past weekend and the line wasn't too bad. No limit on the pastries was a plus! The savory pastries were exactly that - SAVORY. We loved everything we got. Ordered iced vanilla matchas but wish we got the muscavado matchas instead!! It's so exciting to support our Filipino community in town. We'll definitely be back to support our people!

Been following them since they were a pop up and I am glad that they opened their store front. Love the baked goods and the community aspect of this place. Always recommend everyone I know to try this out!!

Waited on line on a Sunday late morning and ordered the brownie and ube piaya. HUGE portions. Brownie was delicious without being overly sweet and piaya had a subtle sweetness to it as well as a great, crisp edges. Happy to see this place thrive and will be back!

Delicious pastries with a mix of sweet and savory! We got the Dinakdakan Pot Pie and Bukayo Loaf: - Dinakdakan Pot Pie (4.5/5): This savory pot pie is made with pork in a puff pastry with a hard-boiled egg on top. The pastry was perfectly flaky but didn't have a lot of pork inside. - The Bukayo Loaf (5/5): This sweet pastry was our personal favorite and made with dark molasses and caramelized coconut. Definitely recommend!! We went around 7:05 AM (opens at 7) and there was a 20 - 25 minute wait - so definitely recommend that you come early in the morning!

Overpriced pastries!!! The new store opening hype is about to sizzle out. The staff were attentive.

The best bakery in downtown JC! Owners are amazing and the pastries are even better. Long wait but it's worth it. I've been twice in the last week

Definitely the best Filipino bakery I've been to!! Definitely Worth the wait. Nice and welcoming staff too!
