Dessert Restaurants near Rahway, NJ

“So freaking delicious! Portions are huge in my opinion for stuffed arepas, so you are definitely getting your moneys worth. Tried the fruit salad as well, the fruit was fresh and presentation was so nice although it was a takeout order. There is definitely a little bit of a wait time on your food, they are making it with love… so be patient. Will be back to try more!“

“The macaroons were absolutely delicious. I have never tried macaroons like these, they were so good. The owner and his wife were super sweet and helpful. I am from Chicago and these macaroons were the highlight of my trip. These will be my place to get macaroons from. My favorite was the raspberry dark chocolate flavor.“

“I finally got the chance to try Crumbl Cookies and I’m so glad I was able to try the lineup for this week. The cookies were delicious, Kentucky butter cake and sticky bun were my favorite. The pink velvet and Banana upside down cake were tasty as well. The staff was nice, and I didn’t have to wait long for my order even ordering ahead. One of selections ended up being sold out and the workers decided to give me a free cookie. I’ll definitely be back, I can’t wait for next’s week lineup.“

“I visited Icy Melon in Edison for the first time a few weeks ago, and it was a pleasant surprise. The environment is quiet and low key, which makes it easy to relax but the seating could definitely use an upgrade. It’s not the coziest spot to linger, but the food more than makes up for it.

I had one of their signature crepes, and my friend tried the matcha crepe cake. Both were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

We didn’t wait long for our order, which was a nice bonus. You can tell they put care into both flavor and aesthetics in their food.

While the vibe is more functional than cozy, Icy Melon is perfect for a quick dessert run or a casual catch up with friends. If you’re craving something sweet and photogenic, it’s definitely worth a visit.“

“Very delicious sweets! Its low sugar and I loved the decorating too! Cok Guzel ❤️“

“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!“

“Eateries can go south very quickly and very easily when the owners stop caring and get complacent. This place seems to be heading in that direction. They started out great, but it appears as though the owner has gotten too comfortable with early success. It’s not going to last long. Phone calls go unanswered, or have an international ring tone, or when they do get answered they seem to be routed to the owners cell phone who has been in a different time zone outside of the country for easily two months now. Wait times for orders are getting longer and it’s no fault of the staff - the blame is entirely on management and ownership. They have one lady, Eva, working there long hours by herself, especially during weekend peak hours. She has to take orders, make orders, work the register, and clean the tables. She is overworked and under appreciated - the owners seem to be taking advantage of her strong work ethic and need for a job. There used to be a young lady working with her who probably left and now Eva is by herself most of the time. This is also a safety issue. On a recent visit, there was a customer giving her a hard time which was quite concerning. Despite all that, she does a fantastic job keeping the place running and keeping customers happy. Hopefully the owner sees this and gets a wake up call - it’s bad management style to be an absent owner for such long periods and not take care of your employees.“

“This place has variety of Crepes options. It is inside the mall and not having sitting area to enjoy the food but customer service and variety makes it up for the space. They give some free stuff occasionally depending on your order. We went at the closing time but ladies made everything very graciously. 🙏“

“Beautiful looking sweets behind hygienically enclosed shielding from customers. Good job! Everything is laid out visibly.

Was greeted immediately and offered a Turkish delight sample.

$22 for 16 ounce for the Turkish Delights, mix and match them so you can have a variety.

They also have Turkish coffee paraphernalia!“

“The Barista is welcoming and made us smooth chocolate drinks! I gratefully enjoyed our pastries; the tastes are extraordinary, fresh, warm, salty sweet. Truly like nothing I have ever had in NJ! I felt my tastebuds transported to appreciate the combination of fruits, nuts, sugar, spice…I can’t wait to try the new Spring menu with another delicious drink. We are simply blessed to have The Simple Fare in Millburn🙏😋“

“I love mango mango. I love their flavors and amazing experience. I recommend“

“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“

“From the pudding to cake, and the uptown, when you want something sweet, this place has you covered. Now, I wouldn't say to get an icee from here, as Rita's is down the road, but beyond that, this has the best sugary sweets around.

Also, the portion sizes per slice fill up their container. It's not some kids birthday cake sized slices so everyone gets one.

With that said, know they do sell out of their products so better to arrive early than wait till near closing for a last minute dessert for dinner.“

“Wowwwww!
You have to come to this place.
Gio Docinhos is amazing!
Nice and cozy plate to have a coffee, cakes, sweets and savory Brazilians snacks.
She did my birthday cake and everybody loved!
Don’t forget to try the meat pie!
It’s incredible!“

“Amazing icecream! All made in house and open year round! Their core flavors are always consistent and they have new flavors at least once or twice a month.l if not more. Happy to live nearby.

They always cater to allergens too. Much appreciated.“

“Meet Fresh is a Taiwanese dessert shop specializing in traditional Chinese-style sweet dessert soups—comforting bowls built around ingredients such as red beans, sago, grass jelly, purple rice, tofu pudding, and almond. These desserts are common across Taiwan and much of East Asia, where sweet soups serve the role that cakes or pastries might in the West: a warm or cooling treat at the end of a meal or as an afternoon snack.

The brand itself originated in Taichung, Taiwan, where it began as a small family shop inspired by traditional dessert recipes passed down through generations. Today Meet Fresh has expanded internationally, but the menu remains rooted in those classic Taiwanese dessert traditions.

The menu includes hot and cold dessert soups, along with bubble teas, specialty drinks, ice creams, shaved ice desserts, and egg waffles—served plain or with a variety of fillings.

I stopped in for a bowl of their Combo A hot red bean soup, topped with taro balls, fragrant red beans, crunchy peanuts, and soft, chewy boba. I also ordered a hot almond milk.

For those unfamiliar with it, red bean soup is one of the classic desserts of Chinese and Taiwanese cuisine. Made from adzuki beans simmered until soft, it has a naturally earthy sweetness that is comforting without being overly sugary. It’s often served hot in cooler weather and chilled in summer.

The bowl here was generous and piping hot, exactly what you want from a dessert soup. The sweetness was well balanced—sweet, but not cloying—and the toppings added layers of texture that kept each spoonful interesting.

The taro balls are another Taiwanese specialty: chewy dumplings made from taro and sweet potato starch with a texture somewhere between mochi and gnocchi. These were nicely elastic and pleasantly chewy. The peanuts added crunch, while the boba pearls brought their familiar soft chew, making the bowl a fun mix of textures.

The hot almond milk was fragrant and soothing. In Chinese dessert culture this type of almond drink is often made from apricot kernels (sometimes called “Chinese almonds”), which gives it a slightly different aroma than Western almond milk. This one was very tasty, though it leaned a bit sweeter than I personally prefer.

Service was pleasant and efficient, and the shop has ample seating, making it easy to sit and enjoy your dessert rather than rushing out the door.

For anyone curious about Taiwanese desserts—or simply looking for something beyond cakes and pastries—Meet Fresh offers a comforting introduction to a whole world of sweet soups, chewy toppings, and traditional dessert flavors. I would happily return to explore more of the menu.“
