Such an underrated gem in Jersey City! 🧁✨ They have some of the best cake flavors and buttercream icing around.

Cocoa Bakery, located in the heights, offers delicious cakes for special events. Customers have praised their engagement cake, describing it as exceeding expectations with a variety of flavors and fillings. The staff is patient and transparent about pricing, making the process stress-free. The naked cake style is a popular choice, matching rustic themes perfectly. The cakes are fresh, large, and enough to feed all guests.
In addition to cakes, they offer gluten-free rice pudding, a perfect key lime pie, and a variety of other goodies including ice cream and cake pops. Customers have also enjoyed their mini wedding cakes, which are designed so elegantly. The bakery has recently started offering delivery through UberEATS, making their baked goods more accessible. The atmosphere is peaceful and nice for sitting, working, or meetings.
Many reviews highlight the quality of the chocolate cake, which is moist and delicious, rated 10/10. The bakery also creates custom cakes, such as a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse, vanilla buttercream, and cookie pearls—an annual tradition for some customers' loved ones' birthdays. They also decorate cakes and recommend giving a two-week notice for this service. One customer was very happy with a custom cake for a child's birthday that was a showstopper. The owner is a pastry chef with over 25 years of experience, ensuring high-quality offerings. Despite the cakes being on the expensive side, many find them totally worth it.
