Sweet Melissa Patisserie Reviews
The best pumpkin pancake I have ever had ( and I do.t even like pumpkin) and got the smores cupcake it was great love it and definitely will come again!??
Amazing!!! If it was in my back yard I’d be there way more often. The waitress, the food, the vibe was so good. I brought home a blueberry pie……so yummy. Worth every penny and every calorie 😉
We stopped in for breakfast on the recommendation of a neighbor, and our breakfast was totally worth the 30 min drive to Lebanon, NJ! It's a small cafe, but we were seated quickly. We ordered the Dijon Deviled Egg Sandwich, and the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes with a side order of bacon and wow! You can easily tell that everything is fresh made in house with really high quality ingredients. We ordered some pastries to go, and I can see why everyone raves about this bakery/patisserie...read full review

Sweet Melissa Patisserie is a popular bakery that has gained much attention in the local area. While it may not be the best bakery the reviewer has visited, it offers solid and satisfying pastries and baked goods.
The cafe has a well-lit and relaxing atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to hang out. The service is very friendly and accommodating, with some minor service issues noted, such as the server forgetting to write down the order and bringing the wrong dessert. However, recent reviews highlight the kindness of the staff, especially towards customers, including cyclists.
The menu features a variety of tempting options. The cruller is described as eggy and slightly too sweet, as it should be. The croissant is light, fluffy, and almost cloud-like, contrasting with the more common browned, flaky, and crispy style. One reviewer wished the bakery used higher-quality butter, as the fat doesn't melt cleanly on the tongue.
Standout items include the chocolate bourbon pecan pie, which one reviewer claims is the best pecan pie they've ever had, and the breakfast sandwich, featuring a croissant with garlic aioli, eggs, avocado, Gruyere cheese, and thick-cut bacon, praised as one of the best and classiest the reviewer has ever had. The breakfast offerings are noted as truly delicious and popular among customers.
Sweet Melissa Patisserie has grown significantly over the years, with consistent delicious food. The owner, Chris, is friendly and often engages with customers about the history of the business. Overall, while Sweet Melissa Patisserie may not be worth a special journey, it makes for a great pit stop in the area, and many customers would be sure to return if they're nearby.
