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.“

“Delicious Latin food in town.“

“Along with sweet savory deserts, the owners and staff were so pleasant!!“

“Happen to bump into this bakery, when getting a came for my dad.
We bought a strawberry shortcake, that had other fruits on top. It was so pretty.
I also bought a piece of Mocha Cake because it's my favorite and they actually sold it by the slice, as well.

OMG, my parents, who don't have much of. Sweet tooth loved their cake. My mom, actually went for seconds.

And my Mocha SLICE, WAS AMAZING!!! I've tried several bakeries and most don't really impress me. But this one, MY FAVORITE. I PLAN ON going back to order a personalized Mocha Cake this summer for my birthday. I'm willing to drive the hour to go get it.

Also the bakery was clean, sell plenty of candles, cake toppers, and the staff was nice. I highly recommend.“

“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! 🧁✨“

“Wow! So delighted at this amazing bakery in Westfield run by the most talented couple and now they have a new one in Morristown too! My son is so picky and adores their key lime pie, Boston Crème donuts and Snickerdoodle cookies ! And these are 5 star treats ! Enjoy and join their loyalty program too to save … what a gift to New Jersey ! 💙🩵“

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

“I have yet to have a cookie from here that I did not like! I have many favorites including triple chocolate, crumb cake, brookie, and chocolate covered banana, but they are always coming up with new & unique yummy flavors so that could change! I love buying a dozen at once and freezing most of them so I can enjoy them anytime; I’ve kept them as long as a year and they are still delicious.“

“I bought a cake for my friend's anniversary today, but unfortunately, it got ruined when I hit the brakes hard on my way out of the parking lot. Since it was entirely my fault, I went back to the store just to ask if I could get a discount on a new one. But to my surprise, they were incredibly kind and offered to exchange it for a new one for free! I was so deeply touched!! I know every staff in here is always kind and helpful, but I especially want to thank Damaris and Sury for helping me out with this early this morning 🫶. Thank you so much, and see you again soon!“

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

“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!“

“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! 🇫🇷🥖🥐🥮🧁🎂💕“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“Great food. So far the best colombian food I ate in NJ.“

“Todo absolutamente todo, la mejor!“

“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.“

“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 bakery. Strawberry shortake is my favorite. On some weekends they have focaccia. Heat it up and it is really good. I like their icings, especially on the orange cream cupcake.“

“Yummy!! Love the speciality donuts!!“

“I love having a Dominican bakery so close. Everything we’ve had there has been FABULOUS!!! Honestly, some of the best coconut macaroons I have ever had and that includes ones I’ve had in DR. I had a coconut tree leches cake, and a strawberry short cake cup, which were both out of this world. The cold brew is so good, and the pumpkin sauce is on point. They’re also super friendly. Next time I need to try the pastelitos (empanadas).“

“Best fruit cake I ever had“

“Great place to go! They have delicious gluten free bagels. It’s adorable to sit inside, and they have coffee refills for less than $2! The menu is very expansive with everything from bagels to burgers, salads, sandwiches, and breakfast food.“

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

“greate food , good place and people“

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

“This place is beautiful. Most of the sandwiches contain ham, so there isn’t much variety for vegetarians or people looking for halal food.
Today, I used the restroom. It was very clean; however, there was no soap to wash my hands. The soap dispensers were empty and filled with water.
Today I went to the same place and used the restroom, the soap dispenser empty since yesterday 😡 I’m wondering how the staff serve us without washing their hands 😢“

“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!“

“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!“

“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! 👏👏👏“

“Mary Cake’s cakes are always delicious. They’ve made all our cakes—this one makes five now: our wedding cake, the first month, and our three anniversaries. We’re so happy to keep ordering from them, and we hope to continue getting our cakes there for our future anniversaries 🥰“

“It’s very difficult to find a good Italian bread today. Most Italian breads today are doughy and heavy whereas they should be light and compliment the sandwich. Well, look no further. This bakery has excellent bread, real Italian bread, and the pastries, they’re excellent too.
Will highly recommend to family and friends.“

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!“

“Vincenzo did an amazing job creating our wedding cake for our wedding at the Park Savoy in Florham Park. We chose funfetti as our flavor, and it was delicious and a huge hit with guests. He was easy to work with and helped make sure everything cake-related was perfect for our day. Our tasting box was also a highlight when we were choosing our cake flavor. Would highly recommend!“

“Great bakery with a wide variety of fresh pastries, cakes, and snacks. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, and the prices are reasonable. The Masala Puff is my favorite item and they even have religion friendly items. The staff is friendly, and the bakery is always clean and welcoming. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Edison!“
