“Papa Ganache is by far my favorite gluten-free bakery/eatery in NJ. They are so beyond accommodating and the food tastes too good to be real! They did my wedding cake too! Highly recommend.“

“Yummy!! Love the speciality donuts!!“

“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.“

“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! 🧁✨“

“My wife’s birthday was this past week. The only thing she asked for was a cake from Turquoise! And that’s what she got. The fluffiest, sweetest Red Velvet cake and Cream Cheese. Decorated to perfection! I’m trying to post a photo or two but the app won’t allow it. Oh well… take my word for it. Delicious.“

“It's not as pricey as i thought it was gonna be. My daughter and I love crumbl!! The cake batter cookie is my favorite one. The staff were all very nice and helpful. I recommend everyone try crumbl at least once! you won't regret it“

“Thank you Ridiculous Farms for the amazing breads, butters, and goodies throughout the year! I absolutely love your bread, and the time and care you put into everything you make!

“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!

“BEST BAKERY AROUND!!!! Ordered a custom cake for our daughter in law’s baby sprinkle. I can’t rave about it enough!! It was better than I could of imagined!! Thank you Matt for a beautiful delicious cake. Everyone was and still is raving about it!!!“

“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!“

“Passionate small business owner. Who makes delicious cake, pops, and holds children's events.“

“Thank you for making the most beautiful cake on short notice! Absolutely delicious! What could be better than cookie dough ice cream and cake? Awesome job 🧡“

“Mav's Top Buns was absolutely wonderful as we went there for the first time in March 2026. We got a box of an OG, a blueberry crumb, thin mint and banana pudding. They were all absolutely delicious with just the right amount of doughiness and sweetness, without being overly sweet as many buns often tend to be. Service was terrific as well and the new owners are great people, who seem to truly care about both their customers and their staff. We'll definitely be back for more buns. Can't wait to see what flavors they come out with next!“

“The best food and the greatest staff ever!! We love having Bruzzese’s in Manalapan 💗“

“If you’re looking for a sign to book this baker—this is it! Our wedding cake was a complete showstopper. Beautiful design and perfect flavor. The whole process was seamless, and they brought our vision to life better than we imagined. Truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!“

“Never disappointed when I order from Bittersweet Bake Shoppe. My family and I have used them since the start for birthdays, communions, and party favors. Everyone raves about the quality of their desserts and how amazing their creations look. Sam and Carissa are so professional and kind and will make sure your dessert dreams come true. You cannot go wrong ordering them!“

“I really like this place! I had a coffee and it was good. Since it was my first time here, the bakery was crowded inside, which limited indoor seating, so I had to sit outside—but I didn’t mind. The service was a bit slow with a moderately long line, but the bakery was clean and the staff were friendly. I’ll definitely be returning and recommend giving this place a try!“

“Sal made my son’s birthday cake and it was amazingly delicious and he’s so talented with the decor. Highly recommend this bakery and pastries were delicious as well. Thank you Sal“

“This review is LONG overdue, but this past October, Sophie had a cake prepared for my boyfriend’s 25th birthday. It was coming up really soon and I still hadn’t gotten a cake. I came across Sophie C’s Sweets on Facebook and saw how talented she was. I messaged her on a Monday, asking if she’d be able to bake me a cake by the following Saturday, and to my surprise, she was able! The ordering process was super smooth and the pricing was very reasonable. When I picked up the cake, she had it beautifully presented, and it looked BETTER than the reference I had sent. Let me tell you, when we finally had a bite, this was the BEST cake I’ve had in my entire life. I’m not exaggerating. If you’re looking for someone to make your custom cake, don’t think twice, get it from Sophie C’s Sweets!“

“Had a catering order. Placed the order a week in advance. The morning if pickup, the order states that it was ready when it was not. Got to the store and told them i was there for a catering pickup. No one said anything and they started to scramble to package everything. We paid extra to get the cookies in individual boxes. Upon getting the order noticed that nothing was in individual boxes. Now I have to scramble before an event to package these things. Do not get a large order from here.

Edit: cookies were delicious and we still had to make the boxes and pack the cookies ourselves the morning of our event but the store did right by us and gave us a refund.“

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

“I Love this bagel shop. Especially the french toast bagels. It's small, but it has a very friendly atmosphere. And the service is great. Good coffee. Many different kinds of cream cheese and bagels to choose from. They also have a good selection of cold drinks too. The Servers give you service of smile. Not sure of what time they open but I know the close at 3 PM and it's a cash only business, but there is a ATM on the premises. So if you're anywhere near the shopping center In one , try something good to Yorktown Bagel“

“Absolutely delicious 2 tier cake for my son's engagement party. Sophia decorated it beautifully !! with the fresh roses I brought in the day before. 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“

“Stopped by Paris Baguette and had such a great experience I had to share.

Diogo, Sara, and Jessi were all super friendly and made everything smooth—from the coffee to the pastries. The iced cappuccino was perfect, and the croissants were fresh and delicious.

But the highlight was this BEAUTIFUL cappuccino cake. Jenny did an amazing job writing “For Enzo’s Mom” on it, and the whole design looked unreal—like an actual cup of coffee! You can tell there’s real care and creativity behind it.

Everything looked as good as it tasted. Great service, great energy, and amazing desserts. Definitely coming back!“

“First time here and won't be the last. The ice cream was so good. The only problem with the ice cream was which flavor to choose. every one we tried was so good.“

“Beautiful job on my daughter cake for her beach theme bridal shower thank you“
