damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at La Gran Uruguaya Cafe yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
On The Grid's Jackson Heights coverage describes the bakery/cafe as having 'an ever-present line no matter the time of day,' with the space characterized as 'constantly bustling' (On The Grid). The draw is attributed to the shop's large assortment of traditional Uruguayan desserts and bizcochos.
Demand is strong enough that the business runs two storefronts simultaneously — La Gran Uruguaya and a sister location, La Nueva, operating down the same street with an identical menu, per On The Grid's reporting. This dual-location setup helps absorb some of the walk-up crowd rather than eliminating the line.
