50 Best Bakeries near Metuchen

“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.“

“OMG..Amelia & Rose Hot Chocolate Bombs are the ultimate treat!! There explode perfectly even in dairy free milk❤️ ..and the packaging is do beautiful.. They were a hit on Christmas 🎄 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Street parking but it's plentiful for the area so you won't have any issues.

The interior is beautiful with lots of photo opporunities inside.

Their cappuccino is just right. Guava pastry is good. They have empanadas and other patry items like cupcakes, brownies, macarons, etc.

Worth a stop if you have time and are in the area.

They make cakes for special occasions as well.“

Enjoy and join their loyalty program too to save … what a gift to New Jersey ! 💙🩵“

“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! 🧁✨“

“La schiacciata e’ ottima, l’ambiente elegante ed accogliente. Golosi i panini, i dolci ed i croissant!“

“This place is officially my go to local bakery! Victoria and her mom Laurence have been nothing but kind and helpful each time I’ve went in. My friends and family raved about the triple chocolate cake i picked up for my sisters birthday and my best friend and i enjoy a quiet breakfast and cafe on the weekends! The decor is so welcoming and bright. It’s a great place to sit, and relax! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious pastries and French imports. It’s a piece of home for my mom, as well! 🇫🇷🥖🥐🥮🧁🎂💕“

“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 :)“

“Ate there on their covered patio area. Just coffee and a sweet treat. Got some bread and cookies to bring home. Never disappoints.“

“This cake was a true testament to baking done with love and intention, with so much precision and attention to detail. From the first bite, you could taste the difference that real, high-quality ingredients used , and how it literally melts in your mouth, great consistency and just the right amount of sweetness. The texture was soft and moist with smooth frosting, delicate decoration, and a beautiful presentation that arrived exactly on time. Thank you so much 🩵“

“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“

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

“bought some of your cookies at the chocolate expo in Manchester! wish you guys had a place here. cookies are so fresh and moist. Delicious!!“

“Todo absolutamente todo, la mejor!“

“My wife is vegan and every time we come to NJ to visit family we have to visit the Cranford location. The atmosphere and all employees are very cordial and helpful. Definitely recommend to everyone vegan or not. Their tres leches cupcakes are the best!“

“We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding cake! Each layer was absolutely delicious and thoughtfully crafted: a vanilla cake with custard and fresh strawberries, a chocolate cake with cannoli filling, and a vanilla cake with mango mousse. Not only was it a stunning centerpiece with beautiful fall-inspired colors, but every bite was incredible. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! The team did an amazing job bringing our vision to life. Highly recommend this cake shop for any special occasion!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent allergy friendly bakery! It is awesome to know that a bakery with such an amazing selection is safe to eat for my kids while everyone else is enjoying the same desserts. Their breads are amazing by the way!! Great job two fields!!“

“Delicious empanadas, bread and pastry. They have vegan and vegetarian healthy options as well. ❤️“

“Brenda, who works the cashier at the Paris Baguette is seriously amazing! I went in last week during the afternoon rush, and despite the chaos, she was super friendly and helpful. It's not just that she's efficient at ringing people up; she actually makes you feel welcome.

I was having a tough day, and her cheerful attitude totally turned things around. She recommended the mochi donuts, which were delicious, by the way! You can tell she really enjoys her job and cares about the customers.

Honestly, in a world where customer service can sometimes be lacking, Brenda shines. She's a total asset to that Paris Baguette, and I'll definitely be back, not just for the pastries, but also for the great service!“

“This is my second cake from Abbate and it was a complete success for my daughters graduation party! Excellent quality! And packaged perfect for transport!“

“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.“

“We where looking for a place to make my son’s perfect Mickey Mouse cake and when I Found Roxanna cakes on instagram and saw her work I knew I found the right place my son couldn’t stop looking at his cake he was touching it everyone loved the cake it was perfection and it tasted so good I provided a picture of what I wanted and definitely received exactly what I asked for.“

“I ordered a bridal shower cake for my daughter and I’m so happy I chose Dorsi’s to bake it!! It was absolutely beautiful and taste even better!!! I highly recommend Dorsi’s for any of your specialty cake needs!!! Beautiful job! 👏👏👏“

“I ordered a Baked Bouquet for my grandma’s 99th birthday and it was a huge hit! When we brought it out, everyone genuinely thought it was a real flower arrangement — the detail was unbelievable. People were actually hesitant to eat it because it looked so pretty!

But once we did, wow — the cupcakes were fresh, soft, and delicious. Not overly sweet, just really good. My grandma loved it and so did the rest of the family. It added such a special touch to the celebration. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something unique and beautiful and tasty!“

“LaBon made my granddaughters first birthday cake that needed to be eggless due to allergies. What a beautiful cake and she loved it! Thank you so much for making her day special!“

“Yummy!! Love the speciality donuts!!“

“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!“

“Shop was clean, quiet, good atmosphere, tons of choices of baked goods and polite staff. We got the small Chocolate and Strawberry Custard cake. It was so tasty! Not too sweet, soft in consistency, great layering. If you get a custard cake, expect it to “drool?” since it’s mainly custard inside. Preferably finish it all at once. It was best fresh and almost just as enjoyable a day later; but I wouldn’t recommend storing it any longer.“

“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!“

“We have Used Mordys To cater our son’s bar mitzvah, and the food was fresh and delicious.
The bagels were one of the best ones we’ve ever had. The platters looked beautiful. The ordering process and the help with figuring out quantities was pleasant and helpful.
Happy with our experience.
Definitely will use again for a next event. Highly recommend.“

“Carmen’s Bakery in Union, NJ is an Iconic Business in our community. Their fresh baked breads, cookies, pastries as well as their delicious pizza dough is to me personally, the BEST you can buy in all of Union. A family owned business when I found them 15 years ago, now owned by yet another sweet, friendly and always welcoming family. Try them!??????“

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

“Was passing by looking for a good coffee place and find this one. The service was beyond excellent. Their desserts are vegan and sugar free and are insanely good. It is now my new go to place!“

“I usually never leave a review, but I have to leave a review for Paris Baguette at this location. The service is stellar, and the employees there are so knowledgeable so quick and so eager to help. This is my first time at Paris Baguette in store, and it won't be my last. Thank you for all your help!“

“Beautiful array of pastries“

“I absolutely love Vincenzo! His personality, energy, creativity and designs are all magical!
He is a true artist and his medium is Fondant. If you want someone who gets excited to create something special for you and enjoys the creative process Vincenzo Salvatore is your person!

Not only are his cakes a work of art, they are delicious. I think my husbands favorite part of wedding planning was going to the cake tastings!

When planning a wedding it's important to align yourself with vendors/creatives who see your vision and get excited for you!
Vincenzo was our number 1 fan throughout the entire process!“

“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“
