“Loved this cute little place!!! My daughter and I were out and about, and wanted to get some coffee, but not from the regular “chain” coffee shop, so after a quick search, we headed to Metuchen. We were lucky enough to get parking right outside, and walked in to be pleasantly surprised by the esthetic vibe. Everything was super clean, and we were greeted right away by the super friendly employee. My daughter ordered a cappuccino and I got iced coffee. We also got a cheese and pesto savory pastry and a passion fruit and coconut tres leches dessert. Everything was delicious!!!!! Thanks for the enjoyable experience. We will definitely return.“

“I had ordered a cake and at the very last minute at that. That too over a phone call describing how I wanted it without showing a photo. It had to be perfect as it was for my wife. Not only was the Cake made to how I had described, flavor and design. It was done inspite of a last minute request, to the perfection how I wanted it.
Thank you very much. Though cake itself was awesome, I think customer service was even a notch higher. Thank you.“

“This was honestly one of the best cakes! From the experience of ordering to the follow through, everything was top notch. I gave an idea of what I wanted and she brought my idea to life. The cake was so delicious and so fresh! Everyone was raving about it the entire party! I cannot recommend Gimme S’more enough! Absolutely amazing experience. Highly recommend.“

“One of my favorite bakeries from now on. Love the pastries, drinks and the crew service is very good as well.“

“This was my first time having a mochinut and it was absolutely delightful!!! Their taro mochinut has been my favorite flavor so far. The texture is sooo good. It's both chewy like mochi and doughy like a donut, the perfect mixture of both! Not too heavy and not too sweet. And their variety of flavors is amazing and unique! I can't wait to go back and have some more. I can tell the staff there work hard to pump out all these donuts and with such quality too! Please keep doing what you're doing!“

Our griller, Mike and his wife Pat who was our server, were absolutely the best! Our 60 family and friends are still raving about the food! It made our wedding such a memorable occasion! I highly, highly recommend them. We will be repeat customers!“

“Super busy on a Tuesday night. It was my first time inside and it was very confusing as to where to go and how to order- no one greeted us or anything which is a little odd. We figured it out and enjoyed our cookies. There was a pretty long wait“

“My sister and I ordered a bouquet for my grandmother for Mother’s Day. I don’t normally do reviews but the service provided by my delivery driver, Gianna I believe was her name, prompted me to. My dad answered the door and had a pleasant conversation due to the friendly nature. So much so that he raved about it when I came home. Not only were the cupcakes delicious, well presented and enjoyed by all, the interactions with my family really made it all worthwhile. Thank you Baked Bouquet and our delivery driver for going the extra mile for my dad this weekend. I will surely return and recommend to my family and friends for all future holidays and events.“

“Les delices has the BEST treats around. It’s definitely the most fantastic pastry shop I’ve ever been to in my life. From the monster sized sea salt chocolate chip cookies to the macarons to the mango pana cotta, they certainly don’t disappoint. I even had their delicious treats at my baby shower last year. I can’t recommend them enough!“

“I am very happy I took a chance on sunmerry. I’ve had sunmerry in Taiwan, and the products were very good there.

I ordered a taro pudding cake, and sunmerry delivered. The cream was light and airy, and not heavy/oily(like the frosting on the cakes at Paris baguette). The taro was actual taro paste, and the pudding was not overwhelming. It was the first time I finished a slice of cake with the frosting altogether.

I can’t wait to try more of their other cakes!“

“I’ve been to this location a couple times and each time the employees have been really kind to me. The cakes are always delicious and their treats always look gorgeous! The place was clean and welcoming. If you haven’t gone to this place before, give it a try.“

“Many Colombian eateries in the area, and an equally diverse mix of bakeries. However this is the one I visit the most because it's delicious, consistent (!), inexpensive, and clean. Don't be put off by any lines inside, they move quickly. A+ all around!“

“I ordered a maple cold brew with pistachio cold foam from their winter menu and a few donuts. It was all delicious!“

“Guava cake brought us back to our childhoods. Highly recommended!!“

“The cheese Danish are the best I've ever had. I took them to a friend's house for NYE and they were gone in 1 day, and I didnt get one! I also took the apple crumb cake and it was delicious! The best and still fresh after 3 days. I will be back!“

“These cakes are AMAZING! My daughter’s school had a fundraiser and our order just came it tonight, first time trying Nothing Bundt Cakes and I wish I would of tried them a long time ago. Cake was so moist and just delicious! No sweet, just perfect. The cream cheese frosting is to die for! Can’t wait to order for my daughter’s birthday next month!“

“LaBon made my granddaughters first birthday cake that needed to be eggless due to allergies. What a beautiful cake and she loved it! Thank you so much for making her day special!“

“We cannot thank Angie and her wonderful staff enough for my sister's bridal shower! Angie and everyone were very attentive to our wants and needs in making this the best bridal shower for my sister Natalie. From the food to the decor, Angie's was the perfect place to host our party.

When arriving, we had very minimal setup to finish on our end, as Angie's decorated perfectly to our taste, so elegant and clean, and cannot thank them enough for even going out of their way to move the display refrigerator out of our space for maximum room.

I could gush all day about the amazing work Angie and her team did, thank you for making Natalie's bridal shower a smash hit and a beautiful memory!“

“Chowpatty recently catered my wedding and their food and service was phenomenal! Not only did they create mouthwatering dishes, but they took into consideration of the type of food we were looking to serve our guests. They provided constructive feedback and went above and beyond to give us tasteful ideas that we hadn’t even thought of. The team expressed enthusiasm to give us the best experience we could ask for during one of the most important weekends of our lives. Chowpatty never treated our wedding as a job, but an event they were proud to serve. They continue to strive for the best and push beyond their limits to give everyone a truly, unforgettable experience. Thank you Chowpatty for giving our families and friends a weekend they are still reminiscing about! Purvi & Shiven“

“Tasty Cinnamon and Good customer service 😋“

“Great Experience There🙂“

“I absolutely love this place. And their desserts are delicious to eat especially the cheesecake and cream puffs ! The staff are friendly and very kind people. It’s a friendly environment and very comfortable as well!

But one issue, although yes I used to work in retail and i understand that people work long hours and deals with customers all day long. And i completely understand what is it like to be in their shoes.
But I noticed that two of male cashiers (9/20/24). They don’t seem that friendly with me. I’m not saying it has to be all sunshine and rainbows and for them to be all smiley or whatever lol. But still, I was friendly with them when I paid for my things at the register and they looked at me as if they were annoyed by me. Again understanding that they were tired and worked hard and I do appreciate all of them for their hard work to provide best customer service! But still they need to practice being just a bit more friendlier ? !

But overall , I have the best experience there!“

“Best fruit cake I ever had“

“First amazing owners, the flavor the presentation of all their pastries and breads are amazing from the sweet bread to their big variety of breads with ham and cheese to die for. Great and amazing cakes for any special occasion.
A pastry shop and bakery with excellent owners. A variety of wonderful pastries and bread. They also make incredible cakes for special occasions, all with a good Portuguese flavor.“

“As previously mentioned. Parking on the street just outside of the entrance before checking in. It’s best to show up just before your appointment. There is no parking on site or anywhere near. The employees were great to deal with and they unloaded me within 45 minutes.“

“Absolutely delicious 2 tier cake for my son's engagement party. Sophia decorated it beautifully !! with the fresh roses I brought in the day before. Vanilla cake French cream with fresh strawberries and blueberries +whipped cream icing sooo yummy. I will always get my cakes from la dolce in old bridge. Highly recommend“

“Delicious Mexican pastries! Everything was freshly made. I enjoyed a breakfast taco (egg, ham & quesillo) on a homemade corn tortilla.. OMG.. it doesn't get any better. There's very little space to dine in so best bet is take out.“

“So yum! Great recommendation from my sis in law.“

“Sweet Lady! Excellent cakes! Best prices! GREAT taste. I highly recommend for best flavors, decorations, and customer service. She and her son will go above and beyond for all your needs I am truly blessed to have found such a great home family Bakery at my service“

“Pop ups are always amazing to be apart of! My daughter and I go every time to grab some delicious goodies!!! We have gotten many many compliments on our cakes made from Baker Squared! She works with you and stays in contact all the way through! Can always rely on a response and her 1000000% attention to details in the ordering. We have had some difficulty with some orders due to allergies but she always goes above and beyond with customers! We can’t wait to have another birthday to order more cakes!“

“Marie’s has delicious cupcakes and chocolate covered strawberries! We had the heart shaped cupcakes. All were enjoyed!! Not the first time I’ve shopped here and definitely won’t be the last time! Thank you!“
