“We have Used Mordys To cater our son’s bar mitzvah, and the food was fresh and delicious.
The bagels were one of the best ones we’ve ever had. The platters looked beautiful. The ordering process and the help with figuring out quantities was pleasant and helpful.
Happy with our experience.
Definitely will use again for a next event. Highly recommend.“

“Penstock is great. Their tea is awesome and it always hits the spot. Also, the staff is very helpful and down to Earth.“

If there are coupons that are relevant to me, then I'll shop here. Make sure to check out the coupons on their website/app before you come here.“

“Happen to bump into this bakery, when getting a came for my dad.
We bought a strawberry shortcake, that had other fruits on top. It was so pretty.
I also bought a piece of Mocha Cake because it's my favorite and they actually sold it by the slice, as well.

OMG, my parents, who don't have much of. Sweet tooth loved their cake. My mom, actually went for seconds.

And my Mocha SLICE, WAS AMAZING!!! I've tried several bakeries and most don't really impress me. But this one, MY FAVORITE. I PLAN ON going back to order a personalized Mocha Cake this summer for my birthday. I'm willing to drive the hour to go get it.

Also the bakery was clean, sell plenty of candles, cake toppers, and the staff was nice. I highly recommend.“

“This cake was a true testament to baking done with love and intention, with so much precision and attention to detail. From the first bite, you could taste the difference that real, high-quality ingredients used , and how it literally melts in your mouth, great consistency and just the right amount of sweetness. The texture was soft and moist with smooth frosting, delicate decoration, and a beautiful presentation that arrived exactly on time. Thank you so much 🩵“

“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.“

“If you’re looking for someone to make your kid’s birthday extra special, look no further than Gimme S’more! 💕 I used them for my son’s 5th birthday and I was blown away. The owner was such a great communicator and seriously went above and beyond. She even ordered the monster trucks herself to make my son's cake vision come to life! and let me tell you, a monster truck crashing into the cake is about as cool as it gets for a 5-year-old boy. 🛞💥🎂 My son was obsessed! And the Funfetti cupcakes? Oh. My. Gosh. SO moist, so yummy, and they disappeared faster than I could grab one for myself 😂. To top it off, she delivered everything right to the party which made life 100x easier. Highly recommend!! Gimme S’more CRUSHED 🏁 it! 🧁✨“

“We love the atmosphere, the delicious homemade soups, main dishes, and desserts at the lovely Friends Friend's Cafe :) the jazz evenings outdoors, the chess-playing and studying students & Mo, Josephine, and Hannah with the heart of gold for all furry friends who are welcome inside the cafe, and, of course, on the patio <3 <3 <3 Below is our Rover enjoying his doggie meal and a comfy bed at the cafe :)“

“Had a last minute order of over 40+ cupcakes and the team did an amazing job making sure I got what I needed. The cake was SO moist. Would recommend. Ty, ladies!!“

“Amazing Cinnamon Rolls. Perfectly baked dough, not over done. Extra Cinnamon, not the cheap stuff and plenty of sweet glaze for the top.“

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

“Their conchas are so delicious and beautiful! The workers are very friendly, too ❤️“

“From price quote, to cake pickup, to eating I had a phenomenal experience. I splurged for my 30th birthday for a custom cake. La Bon was affordable for what I wanted which was amazing. Their staff was incredibly sweet, professional, and all around pleasant. And the cake? Oh my God. I couldn't ask for a better outcome. I provided a reference photo and the result was an exact match. Flavor wise? Impeccable. I don't know what it is about these cakes but it was hands down the best cake I've ever had in my life. It was decadent but not too sweet (especially with black frosting, I was pleasantly surprised), perfectly piped frosting, and perfectly light and flavorful strawberries and cream filling. I will 100% be trusting all my future cakes to la bon from now on!“

“I just had the best cake for my son’s 50th. Not only did it look great but it was delicious! I will be back for every event! Their pastries were amazing as well and the girl behind the counter couldn’t have been more helpful. She even brought the cake to my car!!“

“We just had Tuscany Old Bridge BBQ cater our wedding this past weekend. They surpassed every expectation! Anne treated us as if she has known us for years! She took such good care of us. 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“

“Love them. Close to work I love ❤️ perusing shops and decompressing during lunch. Restaurants are amazing“

“Paris Baguette, the Edison location is my ultimate favorite place for taking time for a break, to relax, chat with friends. Welcoming and helpful staff. So many delicious pastries, and lunch items, but always get the lemon creme pastry, the chocolate stick pastry. Fav sandwich is the egg salad.
The creme cake slices are delicious and decorated so prettily. I don't drink coffee, but many hot beverages to choose from including tea. Come on in.“

“Awesome food! Amazing family!“

“I've tried a couple of mochi donuts here and they are all amazing! Not too sweet and the flavors all hit the mark. I've recently stopped by and noticed they had Christmas themed donuts, which is think is so cute, they would be great to bring to a party or to gift to someone.“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“Love the organic ingredients being used and the comment card suggesting freezing if you can’t finish is much appreciated. I can only eat 1/4- 1/2 so the balance is going in the freezer!“

“Best fruit cake I ever had“

“We ordered a cake for a Gender Reveal Party and from the design from the picture they provided, to the final product, it was perfect! I would def recommend La Bon Bakery to anyone. They were also nice enough to let us pick up the cake so close to their closing time. Their customer service is appreciated and exceptional. We will def be going back!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I ordered a custom cake and I received the best service. The person suggested different options to make sure I chose the best design. The cake was made exactly how I pictured it! The cake tasted amazing, everyone loved it! Forever thankful!“

“I ordered a Baked Bouquet for my grandma’s 99th birthday and it was a huge hit! When we brought it out, everyone genuinely thought it was a real flower arrangement — the detail was unbelievable. People were actually hesitant to eat it because it looked so pretty!

But once we did, wow — the cupcakes were fresh, soft, and delicious. Not overly sweet, just really good. My grandma loved it and so did the rest of the family. It added such a special touch to the celebration. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something unique and beautiful and tasty!“

“I usually never leave a review, but I have to leave a review for Paris Baguette at this location. The service is stellar, and the employees there are so knowledgeable so quick and so eager to help. This is my first time at Paris Baguette in store, and it won't be my last. Thank you for all your help!“

“I love having a Dominican bakery so close. Everything we’ve had there has been FABULOUS!!! Honestly, some of the best coconut macaroons I have ever had and that includes ones I’ve had in DR. I had a coconut tree leches cake, and a strawberry short cake cup, which were both out of this world. The cold brew is so good, and the pumpkin sauce is on point. They’re also super friendly. Next time I need to try the pastelitos (empanadas).“

“Along with sweet savory deserts, the owners and staff were so pleasant!!“

“Everything here is fresh and delicious. I especially love their boba tea. The tea has a really good aroma and tastes great, not watered down.

The pastries and breads are also soft, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Great quality all around. Highly recommend.“

“Bagels are so delicious and fresh! We’re taking 2 dozen home to Virginia!“

“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!“

“The whole process was seamless! From ordering to making payment to pick-up. PLUS the cake was stunning and delicious!! Will most definitely be ordering from Marie’s Sweet Designs again!!“

“(Aug 31, 2025)
A friend of ours took us to this place as it was a completely lacto-vegetarian restaurant/bakery.

We had the following:
1. A pizza: No crest (sauce covers the entire surface) with a nice thick bready base, with Indian sauce on top, creamy and tangy. I wish they had some vegetables also on it, in addition to just a few stray pieces of paneer.
2. A cake slice: A mild Indian-ish flavour.“

“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.“

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

“todo muy bueno 100% recomiendo“

“Street parking but it's plentiful for the area so you won't have any issues.

The interior is beautiful with lots of photo opporunities inside.

Their cappuccino is just right. Guava pastry is good. They have empanadas and other patry items like cupcakes, brownies, macarons, etc.

Worth a stop if you have time and are in the area.

They make cakes for special occasions as well.“

“great customer service! Just roll up before the gates and run inside with your paperwork. Even if the order is not already picked, they will tell you to back up to door number one, or two, and then they'll pick the order quickly! Very little waiting here! A pleasure!“

“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“

“Best bakery in Central NJ!!! Angeli and staff never disappoint with holiday specials and daily menu suggestions….“

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

“Good place for Indian-style baked goods. Decent variety of eggless cakes, pastries, and savory snacks. Quality is consistent —better for quick picks and birthday parties. Service can feel rushed during busy hours, but overall reliable and affordable.“

“Best place to go and enjoy it great delicious Cuban sandwiches and tacos to eat and drink fresh delicious food on summer, eat and drink some hot drinks like expresso on winter times 🤩🤩🤩😋🥙🌮🌯🥗🧃🥤🍹🍪☕️🍰🧁🥧🎂“
