I can’t say enough about how easy Laurie was to work with and how lucky I feel blessed I feel to have found this establishment!“

“I don't usually write long Google reviews, but after attending a buddy’s wedding in North Jersey recently, I had to drop one for this place.
Honestly, I’m not even a big cake guy, but the dessert setup at the reception caught my attention right away. They had this huge, multi-tiered custom wedding cake that looked awesome really clean work, not over the top, just super high quality. My wife and I were actually talking about how great it looked before they even cut into it.
When we finally got our slices, I expected the usual wedding cake thing: looks great, tastes like dry cardboard or straight sugar. But man, this thing was actually insane. Super moist, fresh, and tasted legit. I finished mine in about two minutes and ended up grabbing half of my wife’s slice too. It was so good I walked over to the groom during the party just to ask where they got it. He told me they had it custom designed at D’era House.
Finding a cake designer around North Jersey that makes something that actually tastes as good as it looks is pretty rare. I saved their info on my phone right then and there for our next family event.
If you’re looking for a solid wedding cake designer, custom made tiered cakes, or custom event cakes in Clifton or anywhere in the area, D’era House is 100% the real deal. Props to the baker! 💍🍰💪“

“The best Persian sweets ever!!! Faranak Joon is the owner and she created the most beautiful Sofreh Haftseen for my wedding. She made sure everything was perfect, she showed up extra early and she is not the type of person to cancel even if an emergency comes up on your wedding day. She’s very reliable, understanding, kind, detail oriented, and amazing at what she does. I highly recommend her for all brides who want to have the most elegant sofreh haft seen you will ever see!!!“

“I’ve been living in the U.S. for 15 years and I still can’t believe I never heard about this place before. The baklava was incredible, and the syrupy dessert with clotted cream inside (I forgot the name) was absolutely amazing. Definitely one of the best dessert spots I’ve tried.“

“In 2024, the Monsey area is filled with catering establishments, take-out store, and bakeries, and yet Glaubers, which has been here forever, is still the best. They have catered kiddushin and a wedding for us and we were always greatly satisfied. When you go to the store you will find fresh and delicious food, and the people serving you are even more delicious! If you haven't been to Glaubers yet, go tomorrow.“

I have a feeling it will become a regular occurrence. Thanks for never disappointing us!“

“The owner Erika was a pleasure to work with. Super helpful with choosing the right size cake. Designed the cake better than the picture I sent. The cross and rosary were so realistic it’s hard to believe it’s sugar. Not only was it a gorgeous cake but so fresh and delicious!“

“Everything is delicious and the place is so welcoming.“

“I was there for the first time more than six months ago and it's the only place I liked to buy the baked goods there. The baked goods there are so delicious, especially the potato borax, which is almost impossible to find in the baked goods places there. They are so delicious that every time I go to Monsey and I want to have a snack, I go there. It is so delicious and the service there is also very nice.“

“Literally the best Knafe in all of Paterson. Better than any other spot. Most authentic Knafe I've tasted in America. The most similar I've seen to this one was in Chicago. And I've tried plenty of Knafe in America.

Also their Znud Al Sit are amazing. I usually call in the morning to make an order by noon time for best results.“

“Absolutely perfect! Everything is delicious, fresh, and made with so much care. We come all the way from Upstate New York to Baladna Bakery, and it’s definitely worth the drive! Everything is so good, and we highly recommend it. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This is a cute, clean little bakery in Fort Lee NJ. Donuts were really good. Love the different and unique flavors. My favorite was the Boston cream, and the Chantilly cream was good to. Im not a pistachio lover but that was nice. Had a croissant turkey and cheese it was really good. Croissant was light and flaky and the sandwich was fresh. Pricing wasn't to high but you have to pay for quality. Can't wait to go back and try the mango cake and turimisu.“

“Absolutely the best bagel there is. Each one no matter the flavor is a delight. And their food that they put on the bagel is delicious. Get there before 3;30 PM if you want sliced cheese because they close the slicer at 3;30. I know if I get there at 3;32 PM the slicer is off. So I get tuna fish instead and it’s about as good as it gets. The staff is friendly and do a good job. What a place!“

“Went with wife and father. Wife had the Golden Cloud cold coffee was outstanding. I had the latte the flavor and temperature were perfect. My father had the Americano he said it was really good. My father and I had the Madeline which was excellent. The server was really efficient and friendly. The place is immaculately clean. If you want a relaxed place to drink coffee, this is a great place!
Highly recommend.“

“Best Italian bread around and very reasonably priced in my opinion. Italian pastries are delicious also. Even if you don't live too close by there, it is worth a trip every once in awhile to get really good bread especially for Sunday gravy/sauce. They are open many hours so it's very convenient.“

“My son’s Lego Birthday Cake was a home run. The cake was delicious and definitely fresh. The cake was moist and the filling was smooth. All of the guests commented how great the cake tasted. The design of the cake exceeded our expectations. Thank You, We Bake Fresh for making my son’s birthday extra special. We will be recommending you to our friends and family.“

“We took our first-ever trip to Stew Leonard’s, and it completely lived up to the hype.
Right from the entrance, the customer service stood out—every team member we encountered was genuinely warm, welcoming, and helpful. The kid-sized shopping carts were an instant hit, keeping our little one happily engaged while we explored the aisles.
A big reason we decided to visit was a recommendation comparing their soft-serve ice cream to the classic Mister Softee experience—giving you all that sweet childhood nostalgia without having to stand next to idling truck fumes. It delivered on that promise and then some.
Beyond the fun atmosphere, the product selection across the store is fantastic. We loaded up on several Stew Leonard’s brand items to bring home, and every single product has been top quality and delicious. It turns ordinary grocery shopping into a fun family outing, and we will definitely be going back!“

“I ordered a FRESH, delicious Birthday Cake for my mom's 86 birthday party yesterday. This cake was so good with fresh strawberries inside. You get what you pay for and she is local. Highly recommended. 845-533-4039“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this bakery and the incredible service they provided for our wedding.

We decided somewhat last minute that we wanted a wedding cake, and they were able to accommodate our request on a very tight timeline. There was a small rush fee, which was completely understandable, and absolutely worth it. From the moment we spoke with them, they were professional, helpful, and committed to making our vision come to life.

What made the experience even more special was that the cake design was essentially a freestyle cherry blossom theme. We trusted their creativity, and they exceeded every expectation. The cake was absolutely stunning and became one of the most beautiful details of our wedding.

As gorgeous as the cake looked, the flavor was even better. We chose a two-tier cake with chocolate cake and cannoli filling on one tier, and yellow cake with fresh raspberry filling on the other. Both were phenomenal. The flavors were perfectly balanced, rich without being heavy, and sweet without being overpowering. The icing complemented the cake beautifully rather than overwhelming it.

To be completely honest, it was one of the best cakes I've ever had. Many wedding cakes look beautiful but don't necessarily taste amazing. This cake delivered both. Our guests loved it, and we received numerous compliments throughout the evening.

Thank you for accommodating us on short notice and creating such a beautiful and delicious centerpiece for our wedding celebration. We are so grateful and would highly recommend this bakery to anyone looking for exceptional quality, creativity, and customer service.“

“This space is beautiful! The food is delightful. The best part of the whole experience, however, was the very sweet manager. I was the first customer of the day and she treated me with so much warmth and kindness. She made my drink with so much love. Can’t wait to return.“

“I highly recommend people try out their cupcakes, shortbread cookies, strawberry shortcake, and their cakes. Delicious and Satisfying💯😋😋You will get you moneys worth.“

“Sweet spot in Ridgewood with great pastries, treats and coffees. They have a ton of homemade coffee syrups and fun drinks. I got an iced mocha and it was very good. The decor inside is very fun, I especially dig the parrot chandelier. Definitely worth stopping in while you're in Ridgewood.“

“Excellent quiche and delicious cappuccino“

“Thank you all Nouri brothers and family always great and kind people and delicious Middle Eastern food 🥰❤️ God bless you all“

“My kiddos love all the dessert options here but the mochi donuts are their favorite while us adults are convinced they make the best almond croissants and stuffed croissants ever! The Nutella offerings have been delicious too! The king donuts are superior to any Boston crepe I’ve ever tried! So many options. We only go for desserts but I know they offer sandwiches too! Just a place worth walking to especially if you’re already in town and paid for parking in the vicinity. Enjoy the options cuz there’s just so many to choose from! We go back often, it never ever disappoints! We even bought the cappuccino cake for a special birthday because we loved how it looked and it tasted just as great!!!“

“muy buen vizcocho me gusto mucho“

“This bakery is outstanding!! They have phenomenal products that are beyond description!! You will not be disappointed with your purchase here!!“

“I’ve counted on Despina and her team for custom cakes for multiple special occasions (birthdays, baptisms, weddings, dinner parties). They exceed expectations every time. Not only are the cakes beautiful, but the flavors and quality of the product is top notch. Communication is clear, detailed, and helpful. I would absolutely recommend Cream to anyone looking for a special way to celebrate!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Restaurant Experience! ❤️ I came across this unique and beautiful restaurant while searching online. I was looking for a special place to take my family out for dinner because it was my oldest son's birthday. I also read the history of this beautiful place, Father a Son team and it sounded like something down our alley and my son would really love to experience. Oh my goodness! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with such a warm and welcoming attitude. We were seated in the best spot, and they even brought out a high chair for my grandson. We try to put him in high chairs but he just doesn't like them. This little guy wants to be a big boy already😂❤️ Our waiter, Ali I believe that was his name, was absolutely the best! He was so approachable, funny, and well mannered with all of us. He even joked around with my grandson, which made the experience even more special. Thank u! Everything we had was delicious! From the warm bread with olives and olive oil to the appetizers, to our main dishes and oh my goodness, those drinks🍹 They were to die for! Now that's what I call, “Call me an Uber!” 😂 They definitely were not stingy with the alcohol, and those drinks were so good! 😉 They even brought out a little dessert for my son to celebrate his birthday, and it was so, so good and absolutely delicious! 🎂❤️ I rate this restaurant 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Honestly, if I could give them double the stars, I gladly would! Thank you for treating my family as if we were right at home and we did feel as were home❤️ Your hospitality, food, drinks, and wonderful service made my son's birthday dinner truly memorable and ours too! We will definitely be back! ❤️ and this time we would love to seat in that beautiful garden outside❣️“

“See ya Sook! Bourbon Street Beignet is now my favorite local pastry shop. Born in New Orleans (Charity Hospital-1952) and lived in Paris for a few years as a teenager. Jules does a great job with all his pastries. The beignets were warm, fresh and tasty and on par with Cafe du Monde in NOLA. Will be coming here again.......soon!“

“Modern Cakery is the best place for all of your bakery needs!! We ordered cookies for my son's birthday and they were absolutely delicious. We also regularly stop by the bakery for an after school treat. The owners were sweet enough to get to know my kids, and let us know when they'll be making their favorite cookies! Truly, the most wonderful people. 10/10 recommend.“

“Their breads are outstanding and the cause of my lifelong desire for fresh baked breads. Wonderful!“

“Randy did an amazing job with our son's custom camper-themed cake. Our kid was beyond thrilled. Thank you for being so accommodating and wonderful! You really made his birthday special.“
