50 Best Bakeries near Highland Park

“Had a Fantastic experience with customer service, as i was looking for some suggestions on a fairly large order for a kids class presentation. The owner and her staff member, who was on a break, kept giving great suggestions as to how to best package the items i was thinking about. The cookies and pastries were very tasty, a total hit with the school! --- Will be coming back for more for sure.“

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

“The produce is incredibly fresh. However, the prices are slightly higher than Shoprite.

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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! 🧁✨“

“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!!“

“I bought a cake for my friend's anniversary today, but unfortunately, it got ruined when I hit the brakes hard on my way out of the parking lot. Since it was entirely my fault, I went back to the store just to ask if I could get a discount on a new one. But to my surprise, they were incredibly kind and offered to exchange it for a new one for free! I was so deeply touched!! I know every staff in here is always kind and helpful, but I especially want to thank Damaris and Sury for helping me out with this early this morning 🫶. Thank you so much, and see you again soon!“

“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 :)“

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

“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!!“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

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!“

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

“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.“

“Awesome food! Amazing family!“

“Excellent bakery. Strawberry shortake is my favorite. On some weekends they have focaccia. Heat it up and it is really good. I like their icings, especially on the orange cream cupcake.“

“Best fruit cake I ever had“

“Great place to go! They have delicious gluten free bagels. It’s adorable to sit inside, and they have coffee refills for less than $2! The menu is very expansive with everything from bagels to burgers, salads, sandwiches, and breakfast food.“

“This place is beautiful. Most of the sandwiches contain ham, so there isn’t much variety for vegetarians or people looking for halal food.
Today, I used the restroom. It was very clean; however, there was no soap to wash my hands. The soap dispensers were empty and filled with water.
Today I went to the same place and used the restroom, the soap dispenser empty since yesterday 😡 I’m wondering how the staff serve us without washing their hands 😢“

“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!“

“Clean facility, pleasant, friendly, helpful sales associates. The food, coffee, and sweets are delicious. The atmosphere is inviting and warm. It is a wonderful place to sit outside, weather permitting, relax and enjoy coffee, pastries and sandwiches. Sarai, Adry, Yaslyn, Xu, Juliet, kenzie, Adelsi, Madyline, Benjamin, Bianca, Louis, and Aidan are pleasant, professional, and helpful. They are all amazing. I highly recommend it.“

“A really good Taiwanese Japanese style bakery. I am very fond of Asian desserts, they are light and airy compared to the traditional American desserts and not slathered with cream..we got chocolate matcha cake, and mango pudding. Both were so fresh and delicious..do try if you want different flavors and desserts. They also have a sitting area. Which is really nice..“

“They are the best ever!! I received them from my daughter for my birthday and requested them again for my next birthday!! I don’t ever eat icing but, this icing is amazing! Yes, I ate it!!!!!“

“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!“

“Delicious Latin food in town.“

“The Green Bakery has really fresh and tasty vegetarian baked items.
The pastries and sandwiches were delicious, and the staff was very friendly.
Great place for healthy snacks and good quality bakery food at a reasonable price“

“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).“

“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!“

“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.“

“todo muy bueno 100% recomiendo“

“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!!“

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“

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

“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“
