“I ordered a bouquet of cupcakes for my daughter's birthday from the photos I saw online. The cupcakes were gorgeous! People in the street were stopping me to ask where I got them. They looked like real flowers and were arranged exquisitely. But beyond how beautiful they were, they were also delicious. Everyone who had one asked were we got them so they can have them at their party! Kids were asking for seconds. Had I known they would be such a hit I would have gotten 2 dozen. Next time!!“

“I’ve counted on Despina and her team for custom cakes for multiple special occasions (birthdays, baptisms, weddings, dinner parties). They exceed expectations every time. Not only are the cakes beautiful, but the flavors and quality of the product is top notch. Communication is clear, detailed, and helpful. I would absolutely recommend Cream to anyone looking for a special way to celebrate!“

“I don't usually write long Google reviews, but after attending a buddy’s wedding in North Jersey recently, I had to drop one for this place.
Honestly, I’m not even a big cake guy, but the dessert setup at the reception caught my attention right away. They had this huge, multi-tiered custom wedding cake that looked awesome really clean work, not over the top, just super high quality. My wife and I were actually talking about how great it looked before they even cut into it.
When we finally got our slices, I expected the usual wedding cake thing: looks great, tastes like dry cardboard or straight sugar. But man, this thing was actually insane. Super moist, fresh, and tasted legit. I finished mine in about two minutes and ended up grabbing half of my wife’s slice too. It was so good I walked over to the groom during the party just to ask where they got it. He told me they had it custom designed at D’era House.
Finding a cake designer around North Jersey that makes something that actually tastes as good as it looks is pretty rare. I saved their info on my phone right then and there for our next family event.
If you’re looking for a solid wedding cake designer, custom made tiered cakes, or custom event cakes in Clifton or anywhere in the area, D’era House is 100% the real deal. Props to the baker! 💍🍰💪“

“The best Persian sweets ever!!! Faranak Joon is the owner and she created the most beautiful Sofreh Haftseen for my wedding. She made sure everything was perfect, she showed up extra early and she is not the type of person to cancel even if an emergency comes up on your wedding day. She’s very reliable, understanding, kind, detail oriented, and amazing at what she does. I highly recommend her for all brides who want to have the most elegant sofreh haft seen you will ever see!!!“

“I’ve been living in the U.S. for 15 years and I still can’t believe I never heard about this place before. The baklava was incredible, and the syrupy dessert with clotted cream inside (I forgot the name) was absolutely amazing. Definitely one of the best dessert spots I’ve tried.“

“In 2024, the Monsey area is filled with catering establishments, take-out store, and bakeries, and yet Glaubers, which has been here forever, is still the best. They have catered kiddushin and a wedding for us and we were always greatly satisfied. When you go to the store you will find fresh and delicious food, and the people serving you are even more delicious! If you haven't been to Glaubers yet, go tomorrow.“

I can’t say enough about how easy Laurie was to work with and how lucky I feel blessed I feel to have found this establishment!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this bakery and the incredible service they provided for our wedding.

We decided somewhat last minute that we wanted a wedding cake, and they were able to accommodate our request on a very tight timeline. There was a small rush fee, which was completely understandable, and absolutely worth it. From the moment we spoke with them, they were professional, helpful, and committed to making our vision come to life.

What made the experience even more special was that the cake design was essentially a freestyle cherry blossom theme. We trusted their creativity, and they exceeded every expectation. The cake was absolutely stunning and became one of the most beautiful details of our wedding.

As gorgeous as the cake looked, the flavor was even better. We chose a two-tier cake with chocolate cake and cannoli filling on one tier, and yellow cake with fresh raspberry filling on the other. Both were phenomenal. The flavors were perfectly balanced, rich without being heavy, and sweet without being overpowering. The icing complemented the cake beautifully rather than overwhelming it.

To be completely honest, it was one of the best cakes I've ever had. Many wedding cakes look beautiful but don't necessarily taste amazing. This cake delivered both. Our guests loved it, and we received numerous compliments throughout the evening.

Thank you for accommodating us on short notice and creating such a beautiful and delicious centerpiece for our wedding celebration. We are so grateful and would highly recommend this bakery to anyone looking for exceptional quality, creativity, and customer service.“

“Excellent quiche and delicious cappuccino“

“Best Italian bread around and very reasonably priced in my opinion. Italian pastries are delicious also. Even if you don't live too close by there, it is worth a trip every once in awhile to get really good bread especially for Sunday gravy/sauce. They are open many hours so it's very convenient.“

“Sweet spot in Ridgewood with great pastries, treats and coffees. They have a ton of homemade coffee syrups and fun drinks. I got an iced mocha and it was very good. The decor inside is very fun, I especially dig the parrot chandelier. Definitely worth stopping in while you're in Ridgewood.“

“Tried Half Baked for the first time last weekend. Friendly staff and AMAZING cookies! Much better and BIGGER than “you know who”. My Daughter absolutely loved every one we tried. We bought a four pack and were sad we didn’t try the guava one. We will be back next weekend looking forward to the new selection!“

“This space is beautiful! The food is delightful. The best part of the whole experience, however, was the very sweet manager. I was the first customer of the day and she treated me with so much warmth and kindness. She made my drink with so much love. Can’t wait to return.“

“Excellent service, taste and decorations. LOVE LOVE-LOVE THEM Thank you“

“Randy did an amazing job with our son's custom camper-themed cake. Our kid was beyond thrilled. Thank you for being so accommodating and wonderful! You really made his birthday special.“

“See ya Sook! Bourbon Street Beignet is now my favorite local pastry shop. Born in New Orleans (Charity Hospital-1952) and lived in Paris for a few years as a teenager. Jules does a great job with all his pastries. The beignets were warm, fresh and tasty and on par with Cafe du Monde in NOLA. Will be coming here again.......soon!“

“excellent gluten free items!“

“If you're looking for a delightful culinary experience, look no further than Taam Eden Bakery in New Square! This hidden gem has quickly become my go-to spot for fresh baked goods and mouthwatering treats.

From the moment you step inside, the inviting aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries envelops you, setting the stage for an incredible experience. The selection is impressive, featuring everything from traditional challah and bagels to an array of delicious pastries that are hard to resist.

The quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite. I particularly recommend their signature babka—it's perfectly rich, moist, and beautifully braided. Each slice is a heavenly combination of chocolate and cinnamon, making it an absolute must-try. Their rugelach is also exceptional, with just the right amount of sweetness and a flaky texture that melts in your mouth.

The staff at Taam Eden Bakery are friendly and welcoming, always ready to help you choose the perfect treat or answer any questions you may have. Their passion for baking shines through in their customer service, making each visit feel special.

Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, a midday snack, or to pick up treats for a gathering, Taam Eden Bakery is the place to be. It's a fantastic spot to indulge your sweet tooth or enjoy a savory bite. I can't recommend it enough—definitely a five-star experience! 🍞🥐✨“

“We took our first-ever trip to Stew Leonard’s, and it completely lived up to the hype.
Right from the entrance, the customer service stood out—every team member we encountered was genuinely warm, welcoming, and helpful. The kid-sized shopping carts were an instant hit, keeping our little one happily engaged while we explored the aisles.
A big reason we decided to visit was a recommendation comparing their soft-serve ice cream to the classic Mister Softee experience—giving you all that sweet childhood nostalgia without having to stand next to idling truck fumes. It delivered on that promise and then some.
Beyond the fun atmosphere, the product selection across the store is fantastic. We loaded up on several Stew Leonard’s brand items to bring home, and every single product has been top quality and delicious. It turns ordinary grocery shopping into a fun family outing, and we will definitely be going back!“

“I highly recommend people try out their cupcakes, shortbread cookies, strawberry shortcake, and their cakes. Delicious and Satisfying💯😋😋You will get you moneys worth.“

“My kiddos love all the dessert options here but the mochi donuts are their favorite while us adults are convinced they make the best almond croissants and stuffed croissants ever! The Nutella offerings have been delicious too! The king donuts are superior to any Boston crepe I’ve ever tried! So many options. We only go for desserts but I know they offer sandwiches too! Just a place worth walking to especially if you’re already in town and paid for parking in the vicinity. Enjoy the options cuz there’s just so many to choose from! We go back often, it never ever disappoints! We even bought the cappuccino cake for a special birthday because we loved how it looked and it tasted just as great!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Restaurant Experience! ❤️ I came across this unique and beautiful restaurant while searching online. I was looking for a special place to take my family out for dinner because it was my oldest son's birthday. I also read the history of this beautiful place, Father a Son team and it sounded like something down our alley and my son would really love to experience. Oh my goodness! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with such a warm and welcoming attitude. We were seated in the best spot, and they even brought out a high chair for my grandson. We try to put him in high chairs but he just doesn't like them. This little guy wants to be a big boy already😂❤️ Our waiter, Ali I believe that was his name, was absolutely the best! He was so approachable, funny, and well mannered with all of us. He even joked around with my grandson, which made the experience even more special. Thank u! Everything we had was delicious! From the warm bread with olives and olive oil to the appetizers, to our main dishes and oh my goodness, those drinks🍹 They were to die for! Now that's what I call, “Call me an Uber!” 😂 They definitely were not stingy with the alcohol, and those drinks were so good! 😉 They even brought out a little dessert for my son to celebrate his birthday, and it was so, so good and absolutely delicious! 🎂❤️ I rate this restaurant 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Honestly, if I could give them double the stars, I gladly would! Thank you for treating my family as if we were right at home and we did feel as were home❤️ Your hospitality, food, drinks, and wonderful service made my son's birthday dinner truly memorable and ours too! We will definitely be back! ❤️ and this time we would love to seat in that beautiful garden outside❣️“

“Modern Cakery is the best place for all of your bakery needs!! We ordered cookies for my son's birthday and they were absolutely delicious. We also regularly stop by the bakery for an after school treat. The owners were sweet enough to get to know my kids, and let us know when they'll be making their favorite cookies! Truly, the most wonderful people. 10/10 recommend.“

“This bakery is outstanding!! They have phenomenal products that are beyond description!! You will not be disappointed with your purchase here!!“

“This is one of my favorite spots and I come here all the time. Their pastries are always fresh and delicious, you can really taste the quality and the love that goes into everything. It’s a true family owned business, and the warmth you feel as soon as you walk in makes the experience even better. ☕🥐“
