“I’m Soo in love with this place“

“Rispoli Bakery is my absolute go-to for ALL occasions! Their desserts and pastries are always top-notch—beautifully crafted, incredibly delicious, and made with such artistry and care. The entire team is so professional, friendly, and an absolute pleasure to work with. When it came to catering my husband’s 40th birthday, there was no question—I knew Rispoli Bakery was the only choice! I was overwhelmed with so many event details and had no idea what kind of cake or dessert selection I wanted. Enter Rose—an absolute lifesaver! She guided me through the entire selection process, offering expert recommendations on flavors, quality, and variety. I sent over an inspiration photo for the cake, and when I saw the final result, I was speechless. Rispoli didn’t just match the photo—they far exceeded it! It was a true masterpiece, and I was so moved that I actually cried when I saw it (lol). The dessert spread was so impressive. Every single guest raved about how incredible everything tasted, constantly asking, “Where are these amazing desserts from?!” Thanks to Rose and the team’s thoughtful recommendations, every choice was a home run. I cannot say enough good things about Rose and the entire Rispoli Bakery family. Their talent, professionalism, and warm, welcoming nature make them a joy to work with. Thank you for making my husband’s birthday so special—you’ve gained a lifelong customer! ♡“

“Great sweets and very friendly knowledgeable staff answering all our questions. Highly recommend and I will return.“

“Wish Upon a Pastry is a great Disney Inspired bakery in NJ. Michele and Torre, the owners are so nice and great to work with. They have really unique baked goods that are all absolutely delicious. They also take special orders. They are not dedicated gluten free but they offer a lot of gluten free options that are just as delicious as their other bakery items. I highly recommend this business.“

“The kunafe is so good with the ice cream on top of the kunafe you should try it especially with Zubeyir 5 star service“

“I visited this cozy bakery to see what everyone was raving about in the comments. After going in, the owner popped up and without saying a single word, he offered us his delicious pistachio cookie! It was warm, crispy on the outside and buttery on the inside.. Which literally melted in my mouth. I had a flight afterwards and couldn’t buy anything extra. But this place deserves so much more !! Thank you!!!“

“Conveniently located on NJ-23 Palazzone 1960 is a great spot for Italian food and pastries. Oh and the coffee is also excellent.

Staff is so welcoming and attentive. Service was fast.

Location is small but it’s perfect. Means they focus on the customer they have. You don’t feel rushed.“

“Everything was absolutely perfect, from the service to the deliciousness of the food (Chilean sea bass was outstanding, the lamb chops special was superb and the grilled octupus was perfectly tender). The only mention I have and it's seriously not a big deal was the dining room that we were seated in was a bit too dark I actually had to turn my flashlight on my phone to see. On a scale of 1-10 I give it an 11 !!“

“The best bagel and breakfast spot in the state! Their food is amazing and so is the service.“

“Hmmm I'm not sure about the hype on this place. The service is slow (maybe to create a line outside?) and everything was pretty expensive. I got a few donuts and a baguette and it was good but not really anything amazing. Not sure if I would wait in line again for this place when there are so many bakeries in the area.“

“I had went to three different bakery trying to get a specific design a cake and was turned away . Finally I was recommended by a friend to to see Emily at Bella Vida pastry .

And let me not forget to mention their very reasonable in their prices They will definitely get my business again.“

“I come here regularly for their amazing Persian breads. Their Sangak is great but also recently I got their Barbary bread and it really surprised me since it tastes and feels exactly like the authentic Barbary you can only find in Iran. I am very thankful to Gandom Bakery for perfecting their art and providing these great products in this area.“

“thank you mr cupcake for providing our mini GF cake and cupcakes. the order was easily placed in Brick. the order was comfirmed closer to our date. the order was delivered to our venue on time. our guests loved the variety of flavors. ♡♡♡“

“built my first ofrenda this year and came to la jarochita in search of pan de muerto. i have been trying to honor the tradition respectfully and felt that supporting a local mexican business was the right way of doing it.

this is an authentic mexican bakery, i could tell just by walking in. the environment is very homey and welcoming, the ladies that run the front are sweet and informative.
one of the women explained to me that you grab a tray and your serve yourself the bread you want and then you take it to the counter.

so i asked for a few opinions and chose a bunch of options. i left with pan de muerto and a bunch of other pastries / bread.
it was very affordable!

everything is fresh and a lot of them are still warm fresh from the oven!
the taste is very good.
happy i came.
recommend and will be back!
much as gracias!!“

Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality you receive. It's become my go-to spot whenever I'm nearby!“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Kathleen for my baby shower cake, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she was communicative and professional, ensuring that my exact design idea was brought to life flawlessly. Not only was the process seamless, but the end result was beyond my expectations. The cake was moist, delicious, and beautifully decorated. My guests couldn't stop raving about how wonderful it tasted. I highly recommend KK for any special occasion – you won't be disappointed!“

“Had the opportunity to go in last week and holy carp, I cannot wait to go back. If you get any cookie dough, I suggest eating it raw at room temperature. The cinnamon toast crunch glam cookie was incredible. The owner was also in while I was there and she was lovely. All around gold star for this place.“

“Palazzone Pastry Labs and had a mixed experience. The pastries themselves were quite good, with a nice variety and fresh ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the cannoli, which had a delightful filling and a perfectly crisp shell.

However, the service left much to be desired. The servers were not very friendly, which took away from the overall experience. A bit more warmth and attentiveness from the staff would go a long way in making customers feel welcome and valued.

Overall, while the pastries are worth trying, the service could use some improvement to enhance the overall experience at Palazzone Pastry Labs.“
