“It's one of the best donuts I have ever had in this area. There is a lot of variety, a kind staff, and a great environment. I would definitely come back!“

“Pop's makes the best cookies!!! I ordered trays of minis for a wedding and they were fabulous! Everyone loved the chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, double chocolate chip, lemon blueberry and sugar cookies! And, they were able to provide some GF options which were also delicious. Kudos to Raechel who helped me through the ordering process. Wonderful customer service. Next we'll have to try the "regular" sized cookies!“

“Best bagels in the area!! Hands down!!“

“We only got baked goods but everything was delicious. Such a cute shop! I’ve been a long time follower on the gram and finally got to visit. May go back again tomorrow for real food 😋 Update - real food is amazing. A vegan pork roll egg and cheese… yessss Updated from previous review on 2026-07-12“

“Drove down from Bergen County the other day. Let me tell you, it was worth the trip. The coffee cake just melts in your mouth. Many other delights in this bakery. The brownies looked amazing. They also have a nice selection of gluten free items“

“Yet another reason why 502 Bakery is my bakery of choice. Woke-up Saturday morning (4/12/2025) craving crumb coffee cake. Arrived at 502 Bakery a few minutes before 9AM, but when I approached the door the sign said, "Sorry We're Closed!" I did not realize they opened at 9:30AM. So I went back to my vehicle to wait 30-minutes until they officially opened. LOL... Wait?! Yes, the crumb cake is that good! Not more than 2-minutes later, I looked back from my vehicle to see the neon 'OPEN' sign on! Rather than having a customer wait they chose to open early. 502 Bakery's customer service matches the quality of their product. Thanks 502 team! See you again soon. Gerald S.“

“We received a box of goodies from Chocolate Carousel and they were delicious. Chocolate covered pretzels with M&Ms and peanut butter chips, cake pops and chocolate covered Oreos.😋“

“Got some really tasty croissants here. The service was excellent. Like beyond excellent.
Loved the variety of breads. It's a cute shop that does mostly breads and bakes on site. Great place to support if you are in the area or want croissants or breads!“

“I highly recommend Confections of a Rock$tar! Hands down the BEST cupcakes around!“

“Visited here on a recommendation from a couple of people and I am SO happy I did!!! I may or may not have waited 45 minutes as it was a holiday weekend (eek!) but with how delicious everything was I'd do it all over again. The store is small, so only a handful of people can comfortably fit in there at a time.

I got so many things because I was too excited. My must trys are the cream puffs, cinnamon roll, glazed croissants, and potato turnover (think croissant dough stuffed with samosa filling!!). The cardamom bun was lightly sweet and unique, similar to the warm spices of a chai. The only thing I was disappointed in was the chocolate chip cookie, which had a crunchy texture instead of a soft and chewy one, but that's personal preference.

Despite being incredibly busy the staff was kind, accommodating, and I never once felt like I was being rushed. They made sure to answer any questions I had about the pastries and baked goods.

Would 10000% come back again! :)“

“I ordered my daughter a birthday cake here. A strange request for strawberry cake with lemon buttercream. Kiersten nailed it! Beautiful and delicious. Our new favorite bakery. Can’t wait to try more deliciousness.“

“Alli and the Colonial Bakery team are ahhhhmazing! I cannot thank them enough. I have searched everywhere for a traditional NJ hard roll with poppy seeds and get a bakery to ship. It was a gift and not easy to find. Alli answered my emails and calls right away. The rolls arrived fresh and on time. The memories put a priceless smile on his face (he is like a dad to me and hasn't lived in Jersey in decades). Oh, and did I mention the rolls were legit and delicious!!! Thank you, Colonial Bakery!!!“

They’re great to bring to someone’s home and perfect to serve at your own home. The shop is so cute. I will definitely be back!“

“My husband Rory said that his family has shopped at The Macaroon shop for decades, but I had no idea. I was researching gluten free options and The Macaroon shop has so many delicious options. The staff is so helpful in choosing the best option for your occasion, everyone is so friendly and Clair is #1. If you are looking for a gluten free bakery, look no further.“

Take a look at the photo, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Five stars, cake was fresh and moist and delicious. Great job, thank you. Update ; Sugar bake shop closed and new people took over the space. They did custom sugar cookies and baptism cake delivered to venue . The cookies were beautiful and cake delicious.“

“Every beach day deserves a sweet ending.

After an incredible day near the Jersey Shore, my sister and I were looking for one last stop before heading back to North Jersey a place where we could grab something sweet for the ride home. Once again, Google pointed us in the right direction, leading us to Sweet in Belmar.

From the moment we walked through the door, we knew we had found something special.

The bakery sits in a charming little part of town, and inside was everything we didn’t know we were looking for. Between the beautifully decorated cupcakes and the nostalgic candy that instantly took us back to childhood, we couldn’t help but smile as we looked around.

The experience became even sweeter thanks to the owners. We had the pleasure of meeting the mother and daughter team, who were incredibly kind and genuinely excited to share the story behind their family bakery. We even learned they once lived in Delaware before returning to New Jersey to open their dream business. It’s always refreshing to meet people who pour so much love into what they do.

Of course, we couldn’t leave empty handed.

We picked up a Happy Birthday chocolate cupcake, a lemon cupcake, a red velvet cupcake, a princess cupcake, a strawberry crunch cupcake, and a mermaid cupcake.

The red velvet was my personal favorite rich, moist, and perfectly balanced. My sister absolutely loved the lemon cupcake. We also enjoyed the strawberry filled cupcake, and while we both wished it had just a little more cake to match the delicious strawberry filling and frosting, the flavor itself was wonderful.

As two people who grew up loving neighborhood bakeries, we’re always searching for places that remind us why local bakeries are so special. Sweet delivered exactly that. It wasn’t just about the cupcakes it was about the warmth, the conversation, the family atmosphere, and the obvious pride they take in every item they create.

If you find yourself in Belmar and you’re craving a cupcake, nostalgic candy, or simply want to support a wonderful family owned bakery, make this one of your stops.

We’ll absolutely be back. Some sweet treats are worth making the trip for, and Sweet definitely earned a place on our list.“

“All their cookies and baked goods are delicious!!! We do not keep a Kosher home, but the cookies and baked goods are so so good and beautifully packaged! 😃“

“I ordered a cake for my 75th birthday - chocolate cake, chocolate mousse filling and chocolate whipped cream (more like a mocha). It was the best cake ever and everyone raved about it. With all the chocolate you would think it would be very sweet but it wasn’t. Very light and not at all sweet. I have also gotten cookies from there several and they were delicious. I highly recommend Red Rise Bakery!!.“
