“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!“
“***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 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.“
“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!!“
“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!!!“
“Happy Holidays and THANK YOU!! No time to bake this year. I stopped buy and bought a pound cake and cookies..WOW!! taste and quality is no different then home baked.. No need to bake ever again! I can't stop eating them.. rugelach and pecan balls are addictive!“
“This ice cream shop is a GEM! The variety of flavors is so impressive and each is delicious. We have LOVED Lavender Sky, Pistachio Rose, dairy free Pistachio, Rainbow Cookie, Cheesecake and a Rocky Road. Yummie :)Such a cute little spot for a quick drop in. I don’t see myself returning to a big chain ice cream shop again, this little spot tops them all by far. Enjoy!!“
“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!“
“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!“
“We had a custom Ups truck made for our wedding on September 30th, 2023. They did an amazing job!!! The cake was magnificent. There wasn't a person who wasn't blow away when they saw the cake. It tasted good, too. We will always use David's Custom Cakes when we have an event. Their communication and delivery were also perfect.“

“Awesome place if you’re looking for cute bake goods for a thank you or a partner or business! Super fresh and look how cute the cover are for the bake goods! Worked perfectly for me since it was for a partner of mine. They have many other selections and fresh made mini and big empanadas. The place smells amazing too!“
“Found this gem accidentally while waiting for my kids at the Willowbrook mall. What a discovery! The owner behind the counter was very kind and pure pleasure to talk to. Her sweet little creations were amazing! I had a mini cake with caramel and cream cheese frosting, and it was such a delight! Perfect smooth texture, properly balanced sweetness that allows to enjoy the taste, not just overpowering sugar like products in many other places. Also the size was just right for one person. I was savoring every bite. And the coffee that she made was perfect to my taste, very smooth and rich. There are also vegan and gluten free options available at the bakery section. Prices are decent as well. My experience with this place was so great that I'll be taking my kids to the Willowbrook more often now!“
“Stopped by today my first time and i must say EVERYTHING was amazing the food, ice cream & the service was top notch we had her home made chicken rice soup ,Italian combo and chicken salad sandwich made by Song she took such good care of us through her busy shift and made us feel so welcomed !

“The best gelato in NJ hands down. I'm from Europe and always have a hard time finding authentic gelato, well this is it! I drive from NY to Gio's for the affogato with nocciola gelato, and my girls love the strawberry one. Delicious, local, and the owner/staff are wonderful people.“
