“the bagels are delicious!!! this place is so clean I was so shocked, everything was so neat and picture perfect as far as the salads and spreads in the cabinet. the fish was so thin and evenly sliced. you can really tell this is a labor of love! the gentleman behind the counter was putting so much detail and effort in to the display. From the moment I walked in I had numerous employees checking if I was being taken care of! This is definitely a must try!!!“

“Absolutely a gem of a place! My daughter got a Cookie Monster milkshake and I got the most delicious mousse cake. Honestly there were so many choices we had to play Ennie Meenie Miney Mo to choose which one to get. Not pictured: the chocolate cupcake she devoured in 2 seconds. Run, don't walk, to Soulmate Cafe.“

“Stopped in for the first time over the weekend and was very happy with our visit! The pastries/pies we tried were all very delicious and tasted like they were made from quality ingredients. Everyone that worked there were also super friendly and helpful. It was hard not to leave with additional goodies that I wasn’t originally intending on!“

“They did an amazing job on my daughter’s unicorn birthday cake, it literally took my breath away when I saw it! My 4 year old had the same reaction! My daughter is allergic to sesame and tree nuts, so I’m thrilled to have found this bakery for all of her celebration cakes!“

“Amazing bagels and super delicious kolaches! My husband and I tried the apple cinnamon and then the sweet cream cheese kolaches for the first time from Lonestar and we're officially fans. Great, friendly service. Lonestar is now our go to bakery!“

“A simple local Turkish bakery. We along with couple other customers were given delicious cookie sample without asking. It has the hospitality feel reminisced of the good old bakery from childhood. Very reasonable prices. Variety is limited to several types of baklava, cookies and some breads as it’s a small place.“

“I like the selection of ready meals. It makes it very convenient to have dinner ready quick without too much effort. The prices for the prepared/hot food is reasonable. They are also very delicious. The regular grocery items are a little pricey compared to places like Costco, BJ’s and Walmart. I don’t like that they make you go all the way around the different isles, probably to make you buy things you were looking to buy. That makes me waste time when I’m in a hurry. They have a big parking lot with plenty of empty spaces every time. They also have a nice selection of flowers at good prices when compared to a regular flower shop, but more expensive than Trader Joe’s.“

“Came to Sander's to get some kosher baked goods for my coworkers. I really wanted to get some donuts, but it was too early in the morning, and they were still baking them. Ended up getting some rugelach that were fresh from the oven. The rugelach were a hit in the office. The staff really liked them. My coworker who was kosher really liked them too. A bunch of people just kept eating them throughout the day. The rugelach were delicious. The chocolate was good. The pastry wasn't too sweet. The vanilla ones were great too, but I really liked the chocolate ones the best. They have a dress code that they post in front of the store before you go in. Make sure you wear closed toe shoes, cover your knees, and shoulders. It shouldn't be a problem in the winter though. If you want some good baked goods, Sander's is a great option. If you're like me and wanting to pick up some kosher pastries, I would check which certification your friend/coworker accept as there are many they may or may not eat.“

“We come here often for authentic Italian pastries, gelato and granita. Everything is fresh and delicious. We took a class recently and made delicious ravioli, arancini and pistachio cookies. The class with Chef Andrea (owner) was so much fun and I highly recommend it for a fun night out with friends or family or even a date night. There are a maximum of ten students (so not crowded at all) and you get to sample what you have made and take enough home for a meal the next day. Chef Andrea explains the ingredients and technique and then you proceed to prepare the items under his supervision. He explains how to source the items you will need to make items at home and gives you printed easy to follow instructions to take home. He is funny, patient and great to work with. We can't wait to take another class with him!!“

“***4 1/2 stars**I'm not sure how crazy I am about this place being a few blocks from where I live, but I suppose that's not Mo & Jay's fault. I've been aware of this bakery/pastry establishment for a few years (I think it showed up in this relatively new apartment building on Main Street two or three years ago), but hadn't actually thought to go inside until yesterday morning. I was entrusted with obtaining a dessert for a weekend BBQ, and it occurred to me that this was at least the easiest spot to quickly grab something. The fact that the desserts were extremely good ended up being a pleasant accident/bonus.I brought one of my top tier chums to assist with the purchase. From very brief research, it seemed like the eclairs were the big selling point here. I thought it would also be a little wily on my part to get them because I tend to not enjoy eating food that has stuff in it, and figured I'd be unlikely to do anything too naughty with that. That turned out not to be accurate, but I digress. We got the five for $25 éclair deal, and procured a raspberry, a lemon meringue, a nutella, a pistachio and a cookies & cream. Just as we were about to wrap up, I also impulsively grabbed a cheddar/bacon scone, which was humongous and understandably caught my eye.The eclairs were definitely a hit. My personal favorite was the cookies & cream. The flavor was incredibly on point, and it was almost like a meta ice cream experience. The only issue with that one specifically was that the cream inside was runnier than the other pastries, which made it a little messy. Not a huge deal. The runner-up was probably the raspberry for me. Again, extremely flavorful, almost to a fault - it was overwhelmingly tart, which is obviously kind of a calling card for raspberries but if you're not into that, I'd stay away. The nutella was actually a little on the bland side for me but not bad. The lemon meringue was a big hit for everyone else, but I'm not a huge fan of that flavor to begin with - I don't think that's a mark against this place by any means. In hindsight, we probably wouldn't have gotten the pistachio, but none of us are hardcore pistachio fans. The cream consistency and dough for all of these was very high quality, and understandably a lot of this is going to come down to how you feel about specific flavors.In a final twist later on, I sampled the scone around dinner time and was very pleasantly surprised - the scone was very moist and tasty, and was reminiscent of a Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit, though probably at least twice the size and with actual pieces of bacon in it. Very strong recommend on that front.The service was very good. We had a pleasant female cashier assisting us as my chum was literally squatting on the ground eagerly peering into the display case squealing out flavors to get. Zero issues there, and we were in and out within a few minutes uneventfully. There were also a lot of cakes and other types of pastries, so I expect I'll be returning shortly to obtain their assistance with another BBQ.“

“I left a 5 star review but updating to share a few videos. The knafa has more of a savory sweet taste vs. other bakeries that drench it with syrup. Anytime I go, I get the znoot el sit, which is soft on the top and middle, and crispy at the bottom. So good!“

“Great hidden cookie spot. Better than any of those chain cookie places like Insomnia, or anything like that. Staff is very friendly and it’s a great local business to support. Typically I’m a chocolate chip guy, but the Oreo ones are fantastic.“

“I have ordered here and stopped in multiple times since opening! I am always beyond impressed by the work they do, especially when they made me custom UGG cookies for my job! Even the in-store product is amazing & the Disney themed items are my favorite. I will continue to order again and again!!! Thanks Michelle & Torre!!!!!!“

“I got an assortment of gourmet cookies for a party and they were a hit!! The oreo cookies, red velvet and crème brulé was amazing and everyone who tried them kept asking where I got them from. I look forward to trying the other pastries ?“

“I can't be more impressed with the owner herself ie Christina and her beautiful creation of a yacht cake that she made for me at the very last moment. The cake was perfect and it was melting in the mouth and really yum. I will surely return for any future orders.“

“So I saw this place on Groupon and thought "why not I like Rugelach". bought it and used right away. I went in at a weird time ( about 4pm on a Saturday night) and there weren't very many rugelach left. The owner gave me a free sample and I instantly knew why. They are amazing! They were fresh (warm) and tasted great. I sampled the apricot and then bought the raspberry and chocolate. The Apricot was the best tasting of all of them; the raspberry was the best I have ever had; and the chocolate was also great! I also bought some chocolate chip cookies. They were also very good, but the best hands down were the rugelach. It was a tiny bit hard to find at first. It is in this strip mall next to Dunkin Donuts, on route 46. I will definitely be back and this place will likely become my go to place for holidays at my in-laws.“

“Lovely Bakery Cafe with a classic, relaxed ambience and old world charm. Came late afternoon on Presidents Day and there were lots of customers but also plentiful seats available. The croissant lived up to its reputation! It was large, crumbly and flaky on the outside and very affordably priced. Cashier was very friendly too! She offered to heat up our croissant and brought it out to us on a plate. This place is definitely worth a visit!“

“Everything was absolutely phenomenal!! Starting with the service from our wonderful waitress Tsisia to incredible authentic Georgian cuisine and even homemade plum Compot.Khinkali was truly to die for! We chose pork and beef mix. Adjaruli Khachapuri was the best I’ve ever had!! My father really loved his Kharcho soup. And Chanakhi was very hearty and flavorful.We are definitely coming back and will recommend this place to anyone who loves or wants to try Georgian food!!“

“Ordered a gorgeous 2 tiered cake for my daughters 3rd birthday (Under the THREE themed) and Bella vida did not disappoint! Not only was the cake aesthetically appealing, but it was delicious! Very light and moist, the cannoli filling was to die for, and the dulce de leche filling was fantastic! Extremely flavorful and the details were intricate and you can tell there is a real passion for baking! EVERYONE was raving about the cake and asking where I got it from. Simply delicious!! We will absolutely be ordering our cakes from here from now on, I won't go anywhere else!!“

“Normally I order delivery at my work and everything is very delicious, today I went with my family and everyone loved the food, everything delicious and in very good quantity, the service spectacular, very attentive. It was worth going from afar to eat there!“

“Rose at Rispoli’s is a delight! Best service and pastries in Bergen County! The lobster tails are to die for. Just ordered a birthday cake and Easter dessert. Not to mention the fresh bread baked all day long. You cannot go wrong with this gem in our backyard!“

“I came here for the first time on Monday as I was trying to find places nearby to eat lunch and I really enjoyed it. It's a great place to grab a bite to eat during lunch. Its clean and the staff are super friendly! I work near by so it has been my go-to place to sit down and eat. I haven't tried their subs yet but will soon! I recommend it if you are near by the Glen Rock area!“

“Stopped by the recommendation of my friend. Was looking for a good place to order Wedding Cake and very happy I did.Had tried a sample of few cakes “Strawberry Shortcake and Coffee Cake “ which both were amazing. Made my decision to order the Cake!!!“

“Went to a wedding where the cake was provided from here, absolutely delicious. Everyone who had a slice of their wedding cake was raving about how good it was. I'm not much of a sweets person but the cake was so balanced flavor wise as well as having a perfect texture. Highly recommend and I know I'm dying to try the rest of their menu when I get the chance.“

“Their pastries are amazing. The service is amazing. Sweet sugary goodness. Got addicted after a coworker brought a box of the pecan danish's and I will never go anywhere else. What's nice is that you can place an order before hand for pick up since those go out super fast by high demand. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays which is a bummer but definitely give them a try. Small bakery but big impact on your taste buds! Love it!“

“I found my new favorite bakery! I was in the area craving a pastry and found this on google, did not disappoint! I tried a few things like a chocolate croissant, powdered donut, tiramisu, cheesecake and a strawberry creme puff. Every single one was delicious, fresh and light. I'm upset I didn't leave with more, a hidden gem and a must try!“

“I wanted to try the iraqi food so bad and I heard about this place and it was definitely worth the visit! their traditional Iraqi cuisine is absolutely mouthwatering!? From the kebabs to the eggplant salad , every bite is a taste of authenticity. The warm and the welcoming atmosphere adds to the overall experience. You should definitely give it a try!“

“We were visiting some friends in the area and were looking for a coffee. We loved this little quaint place. Coffee was great, had some oatmeal that was delicious. The croissant with egg and bacon that my wife was great. Definitely would be back!!! Staff was very friendly and courteous.“

“I was brought back to my childhood as the odor of the baked goods hit me as I walked through the door!It has been SO LONG being in a independently owned bakery!The staff was very pleasant the the cookies I purchased were outstanding.I will be back again!“

“It's not my first time and it won't be my last. Maybe the best desserts and cakes you can find in New Jersey are here. Not just dessert varieties. The breakfast is also amazing. If you like Mediterranean cuisine, especially Turkish cuisine, visit Paterson, New Jersey. I went there for breakfast both on weekends and during the week, but I think it was better on the weekend. That's why I recommend you to go for breakfast on the weekend. I have been drinking Turkish tea and eating desserts for years, but I have not seen any decrease in its taste over the years. It means that he keeps his cook well ? “

“So, got 4 small cakes for christmas. I didn't think much of it, then I taste them and I couldn't believe how moist and delicious they were. The topping is more of a cream cheese tfeosting and delicious. I don't like puffy buttercreams.I was so surprise at the taste of this cake...enjoy!“

“Really great food for good price, I already tried 30 more times and never missed the taste of good food, everything was delicious every time. great for baklava, Turkish bagel, dessert, tea, bread, they’re beyond the bakery style in USA. You will be satisfied with this placeThanks for giving us amazing food“

“I finally got to try the shrimp salad on rye and it was fantastic! Next up, I'm trying to score some of the apricot pastries! Don't miss out on all their pastries and cakes. The lox and cream cheese on rye was also amazing!Parking: 4-8 car parking behind the building.“

“Last minute I ordered cookies for my nieces party - I wanted farm animal cookues. I ordered 3 days before & Humble Crumbles was there to bake the cutest cookies! It was awesome working with them & I really appreciate the decision to help me out last minute! I will ABSOLUTELY be ordering again!! Can't recommend more!!! Very happy ? thank you!!!“

“I was coming back from a Doctor’s appointment and was craving fresh bread so I Googled Italian bread bakery in the area and came across Venice Bakery short story I’m so so glad I did wow you walk in and the smell of sweetness Lord then the selections just yummy overload from cookies to cakes to cannolis to rolls bread OMG that day I came in there with my grandson and we just couldn’t make up our minds but we picked up a pastry filled with spinach and feta, 2 small piece of cake chocolate cake and mousse, red velvet cake and cream cheese, sesame bread , Baguette bread, 2 large chocolate chip m&m cookies !! All just melted in our mouths simply delicious!! So much so we been back 3 days back to back! I’ll drive there regardless the distance for me… highly recommend it“

“I've included 5 stars for this place because this bread has been a staple in my life. Also, the problem may be only for me and a select few. Has anyone else noticed a difference in the taste of the bread. I'm not sure if it's the flour or the seeds but to us, the bread has a bitter after taste, almost like the taste of drinking a diet soda compared to regular. My wife an I have actually gotten headaches after eating it. I've called the bakery and inquired about it but the guy on the phone said everything is the same. I was wondering if maybe their suppliers have changed their sources on where they are buying the flour or the seeds. I even went as far as buying similar bread from 2 other reputable bakeries and found no problems, only the taste of fresh bread. I hope the Fragale family is reading this, so they can do their diligence finding out what's different.“

“Amazing place to spend time with friends and family. Very clean and well maintained store. Their tea is amazing. I also like their snacks, it was very delicious. Their service is quick and the staff were very friendly and sweet. Overall experience was amazing. Parking could be an issue since it’s located in a very busy road.“

“Best small little bakery on Main Street, in Paterson! Their falafel sandwich with fried vegetables is to die for, made in their homemade bread... amazing! Everything I tried from this bakery was wonderful, zaatar (thyme) bread so soft and delicious and the prices are reasonable! This is a gem!“

“Like a step back in time. Old world recipes like your grandmother used to bake! Excellent rye bread, danishes and poppyseed strudel. My family has been shopping here for generations. In fact, my grandmother lived on Jewel Street and did shop here when she wasn't in her own kitchen baking. She really liked the crumbcake!“

“Very charming little coffee spot! Super chill atmosphere and relaxed. Quiet for days that you want 'work from home' but not be stuck at home. There is plenty of parking with a few municipal lots and street parking as well. We did ceramic painting and there are plenty of options of items you can paint although we just stuck with mugs. I think there is a time limit when you make the reservations for the painting but it was a quiet day and they let us take our time. It is a neat little activity to do on a rainy day with friends and a cute coffee spot if you want a change from dunkin/starbucks in the area.“

“Colombian baked goods are new to us, so we tried 5 different treats. They were all delicious! The croissant with ham and cheese was spectacular, and the guava buns had the perfect amount of delicate sweetness. The girl behind the counter was patient and explained each offering. We'll be back for more.“

“All I can say is that you must go there and taste their pastry yourself. So far I have been using their services for over a year and I never got disappointed. I buy birthday cakes for each of my staff members for their birthday and it gets better and better each time. I also buy their croissants Yummy. The staff is very friendly, the owner is so professional and helpful, many times he accepted my last minute order or changes and finished them in time and the best part is their coffee. I definitely recommend this place 5 ⭐️ over all from goods to customer service to staff member to hygiene and to location as well and if I am not wrong they just open a 4th location.“

“Really grateful to still have a place like this around! We always get our propane for our coffee roaster here and they are so helpful. If you are in need of a last minute gift - this is your place. And the bakery is freaking awesome! Best apple pie anywhere - guaranteed! Coffee and apple pie forever! Thanks guys!“

“I am a Gluten Free individual that suffers from FOMO. While everyone sits around and enjoys their desserts, I just sit back and watch with a frown on my face. I stumbled upon this place while my daughter was at a nearby piercing establishment. I went in and was greeted by a lovely lady behind the counter. While I was looking at what options were available for me, that lovely lady offered me to sample an item. Never before have I ever been offered a sample of anything Gluten Free. And we all no why that happens. Most of the time the Gluten Free products are horrible; dense, stale, no taste, etc. The item she offered was not good.................it was the best tasting bakery item I have ever had. When I told her that, she offered another item, and another item, and another item. I no longer needed to eat dinner. I was in heaven. I ending up buying three items to take home with me. I shared them with my family members and they agreed that the items was delicious. I will no be a customer for life.......................even so living 50 miles from this bakery.“

“Saturday before Easter. Walk in! First time...store was busy with customers. Staff was actively attending to all. Waited no more than a minute to be greeted.Ordered a 12 pack of minis. Hope was amazing helping me pick out what should be my mix.Waited a few mire mins to receive order.Can't wait enjoy this treats on Easter!“

“I’ve been a customer of Gandom Bakery for a few years. They offer variety of delicious Persian breads, their Sangak bread is just the best.I always buy 10 Sangak (you have to call and order in advance) and save in freezer. Warm up a couple of slices in the morning and it goes nicely with Feta cheese, walnuts and Persian tea. They also sell all sorts of items required for a Persian kitchen, including spices, nuts, dried herb, pickles, Persian tea, you name it. Great customer service and hospitality too. They always deliver high quality of products with reasonable prices. Highly recommend.“

“Incredible talent, delicious cookies, and fantastic customer service!! I purchased cookies as a favor for my sister's baby shower and they were even better than I could have imagined! Thank you Grippy's for the perfect finishing touch to my sister's special day! Will for sure be a returning customer!!“

“This is our go to place for cookies, they are always warm, fresh, and delicious! The staff is incredible. Always friendly and ready to help. Suha was great when we stopped in. The confetti, s'mores, and cookies and cream are definitely worth a try!“

“The bread is very good, only the attention that some workers there give is what would change, when someone asked for a tray the lady responded with a bad attitude and a bad temper, and one greets her out of politeness and she only looks bad, but the rest I think the bread is very tasty and there is a good variety of bread.“
