Prato Bakery
Prato Bakery, located at 371 4th street in Jersey City downtown, has opened in 2015 after a four years experience in the West Village in New York City. The goal has always been the same: to bring the Italian and Tuscan authentic baking tradition to the US. The bakery, called Prato to celebrate the hometown of the owner and baker Simone, offers a variety of baked goods handmade every day in the premises as well as a cafeteria with an Italian espresso machine for the perfect cappuccino and espresso.
Services
You can decide to let us do the choice, or you can select up to 4 of your favorite sandwiches, pizza, pan brioche, etc. in each platter you choose. All platters have vegetarian options, please specify if you want it to be exclusively vegetarian. When you decide to have Prato Bakery cater your event, you bring a piece of Tuscany to your table!
The biscuits of Prato, also known as "cantucci" or "cantuccini" are one of the glories of our city. The characteristic that makes them different from biscotti is that the cantucci are not as crispy. They are baked daily in our bakery in Jersey City with the finest ingredients following an original antique recipe.
The ingredients used for all our products are of the highest quality and carefully selected. All of our cantucci are produced daily in our Jersey City location without oil, butter or preservatives. They may contain nuts, almonds or whole pine nuts or traces. This delicious cookie, handmade by our skilled master bakers, follows the same procedure of cooking and mixing of the other types, but is enriched by large dried figs added whole.

Their Nutella coffee is a popular item - but I wouldn't get it iced. Coffee was super watery and the Nutella didn't mix in at all since it was cold

Prato is such a cute little neighborhood bakery. Their sandwiches and pizzas are so delicious. I got the sweet onion pizza slice and the pesto with mozzarella sandwich. I like them better than the pizzas and sandwiches I had in Italy! I can't wait to try out the other menu items!

Have walked past this place so many times but never stopped in. Finally decided to order it today and DO NOT sleep on Prato bakery ! The La Rustica sandwich on focaccia was to die for the bread was the perfect amount of fluffiness and crisp. Will definitely be back !

Awful service by the lady at the counter. I asked her what kind of bread these focaccia were because some of them seemed like they had olives on them and I was looking for something plain for my 1 year old and she looked at me like I was stupid. So I started explaining why Im asking the question (I'm not dumb, as a bread baker myself I know that breads may look plain but they don't have to be) and she raised her voice and asked me to relax. Needless to say I say "no thanks" and out I went.

If you want bread, don't ask what you're eating. It's a shop and it

Super cute lady works there! She's super friendly, knows what she's doing, and made me a wonderful Italian Macchiato! The sandwiches there were okay for what it is but the spot itself is reminiscent of being in Italy...

The most delicious homemade biscottis that I have tried are here, without a doubt my favorite is the chocolete one (I am not a fan of chocolate but this biscotti is perfect )
_
5 stars to the coffee, we ordered a cappucino and an espresso, both super delicious, good consistency of milk, I took almond milk )
_
4 stars to the prosciutto Foccacia, they asked me if it was hot and I said "yes" but I didn't think they would heat the arugula and the Prosciutto Crudo. . anyway the Foccacia prosciutto cotto (Italian Ham) was delicious.

I absolutely love this place. The food is amazing. Their coffee is amazing. Everything I have tried here I've loved. Their staff is so nice and patient, and even offered me a free sample of one of their biscottis to try.

I had the loveliest lunch (and several snacks) from Prato! They've taken over this small corner shop right on Washington not long ago and, although my boyfriend has given rave reviews, I've only just gotten around to trying them out.

I got the Manhattan sandwich and added arugula because I like lots of green on my sandwiches. It was really tasty! I think I'd like a little bit more of a sauce/oil, or even any. It was just very delicious prosciutto, tomato and mozzarella. As incredibly delicious and tasty as it was, I think I just need some sort of condiment.

I also got some sweets

Prato never disappoints. I always leave happy, even after just my first bite of my usual prosciutto mozzarella tomato focaccia. So savory and mouth watering. The service is also always incredible, very friendly and welcoming. Will always be back.

The cantucci here are amazing and the fresh mozzarella on the sandwiches is the best I've had outside of Italy. One of my favorite spots in Hoboken.

Oh my goodness!
We are so lucky to have a little piece of Italia in our neighborhood! My roommate and I stopped in to get a cappuccino and we made small talk with the sweet lady behind counter (my roomie had told her she just came back from Florence). We ordered two cappuccinos and got two of the chocolate cantucci. She threw in another assortment for us to try for free and then ended up giving us two foccacias for the road.

Everything was delicious and that lady is a little angel!
Definitely recommend and most definitely will be back.

Great little piece of Italy. They are from Florence and have very good simple food they taste just shines through. Cantucci are like amazing softer biscotti and coffee is italian style - strong. Skip Starbucks and try something crafted and new. Wish them luck and I'll be a regular patron.

Hands down the best bakery in Hoboken, and the best focaccia bread I've tried outside Italy. The owners are Italian and super friendly! All the food is fantastic and freshly made every day. Their coffee and espresso is also excellent. A jewel in Hoboken!

I'm torn between three and four stars because on one hand, I feel like they totally jipped us on the pizza margherita foccacia, but on the other hand, their plain foccacia is totally worth it and really good. The pizza margherita caught my eye, and I saw a sign that said $2.90, so I thought why not? It's the perfect mid-afternoon snack. They were all already pre-cut, so one would assume that it would come out to $2.90, right? Wrong. I'm no mathemetician, but something just didn't add up if we paid $8 something for 2 plain foccacia squares (at $1.60 each) and one margherita.

This is purely for the ambiance. I really wanted a nice place to get tea or coffee near my job as I tend to have an hour or so between clients to kill at times. It was really nice out today and they have outdoor seating so I thought it would be nice to have a cup of tea while doing some work on my computer. The guy seemed to be alone in the bakery (and I must say the smell of bread was mouth watering tho I did not succumb to the temptation) and I ordered hot green tea bag. It was served in a paper cup. Unfortunately it was a little windy so the cup felt like it was going to fly away. The sign fell
