50 Best Bakeries near Highland Park

“First time at Mordy’s Bakery and I’m impressed! Everything was so fresh, especially the chocolate croissant. The cheese Danish was delicious and very filling. Great prices and a convenient spot in the heart of Highland Park. Definitely coming back!“

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

“I had such a positive experience with a female manager at SuperFresh Highland Park on Sunday, July 26th, 2026. I only had an issue involving a bag of crackers, but the manager handled it with professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. She took the time to listen, addressed my concern respectfully, and made me feel like a truly valued customer—not just another transaction.

Excellent customer service like this is hard to find, and it definitely left a lasting impression.

Thank you for going above and beyond!“

“Haisch’s bakery is truly a special place. I've been coming here for over a decade, and it never disappoints. The quality of everything they make is incredible and you can tell they take pride in what they do. The owner / employees are always so friendly and accommodating as well.“

“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 reached out to Kavitha on Friday for a last minute rasmillai cake. She was booked up but said she could squeeze it in and have it ready Sunday morning. She was very kind and communicative about the colors and design.
Because it was last minute we just did flowers. I bought edible butterflies from Amazon and stuck them on later. KAVITHA offered to put butterflies on there but they would've been a different color. I really appreciated the service.

To make it even better. The cake was INCREDIBLE. It was flavorful but moist and light. The frosting was airy and a perfect pair to the delicious sweetness of the cake.
We will be ordering from here again. I cant wait to order ahead of time, as the rest of her artistry looks incredible.
I wish I had more photos but 4 of us literally ate the whole cake immediately...“

“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! 🧁✨“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Brenda and Karen made my visit to Paris Baguette such a great experience! They were both so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. During my visit, I also witnessed a difficult interaction with a man, and they remained respectful and professional throughout the situation. I really appreciated how calmly they handled it while continuing to provide great service. Their patience and kindness stood out, Thank you, Brenda and Karen, for making customers feel welcome. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

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

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

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

“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“

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

“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 :)“

“Our counter person was not very pleasant, but it was after 6pm (so we gave him a pass for most likely being tired)

However, the cake was absolutely phenomenal! It was for my wife's birthday and she said it was the most delicious Strawberry Shortcake she ever eaten!
Our guests also sang praises about the cake and inquired where it was purchased!
Yummy, Yum, Yum, Yum!“

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

“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!!“

“Thank you making a great cake for my daughter Janelle Bridal Shower! The cake was very fresh and good! Very one loved it! I will alway get my cakes there! Thank you for help me getting in the car yesterday!!“

“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.“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“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!“

“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).“

“Best fruit cake I ever had“

“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.“

“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 😢“

“This place was recommended by someone at the Warren Flea Market. I ordered a Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese on an everything bagel. Came with 3 thin slices of Taylor Ham. Plenty of egg and cheeae throughout the sandwich. It was slightly above average based upon others throughout the state. Service was fantastic and both inside and outside areas were great to eat. I would go back again if in the area.“

“Awesome food! Amazing family!“

“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.“

“Great bakery with a wide variety of fresh pastries, cakes, and snacks. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, and the prices are reasonable. The Masala Puff is my favorite item and they even have religion friendly items. The staff is friendly, and the bakery is always clean and welcoming. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Edison!“

“Delicious Latin food in town.“

“Very clean restaurant, Food Delicious, Waitress Lee courteous, polite, so nice a pleasure to talk to. Will definetely go back.“

“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.“

“Not a bad spot for a quick treat! I never realized how big these cookies were. Incredibly dense and filling. I loved the classic chocolate chip and also the oatmeal cinnamon thin cookies. Would definitely check out the new flavors next time!

Now for my standard comments. Location is small and well kept. Nestled by the Honeygrow with open parking.“

“My favorite bakery. Love egg tarts, love Boba, love the unique breads from the tuna roll to the raisin twist that tastes like a Trinidadian currants roll but with the addition of coconut.

Just a very satisfying bakery to eat and relax in.“

“todo muy bueno 100% recomiendo“

“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!!!!!“

“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“

“Very authentic Filipino dishes. The taste is very good for you to keep coming back.“

“Pretzels are the new chocolate!!“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“Good food, cute place and very good staff - empanadas were delicious but highly recommend to have a mini empanadas in the menu, also some sauce that is not mayonnaise based - like could be only cilantro with some lemon. The paninis were great.
😊“

“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“
