“There is nothing not to like about this place. The variety of breads and rolls and bagels is outstanding and the fact that you can go in the back and pick it off the conveyor belt as it comes out of the oven makes it fun, too. In the front, you'll find the most delicious pastries, cookies and cakes. Yum, yum!“

“They did an amazing job on my daughter’s unicorn birthday cake, it literally took my breath away when I saw it! My 4 year old had the same reaction! My daughter is allergic to sesame and tree nuts, so I’m thrilled to have found this bakery for all of her celebration cakes!“

“I love coming here ! The food & pastries are sooo delicious, and the service is great! Definitely 10/10Vegetarian options: This is a vegan bakery.Kid-friendliness: Very sweet and patient with my daughter while she decided on what she wanted“

“We used A Little Cake for our wedding cake and they truly were incredible to work with! They offered a cake tasting in person, gave us time to think and discuss, didn't rush us to make decisions at all. Their cakes are super moist, not overly sweet, and their designs are so special! We chose coconut cream and cannoli as two of the fillings and guests raved about their desserts! We can't wait to use them again for future events“

“A simple local Turkish bakery. We along with couple other customers were given delicious cookie sample without asking. It has the hospitality feel reminisced of the good old bakery from childhood. Very reasonable prices. Variety is limited to several types of baklava, cookies and some breads as it’s a small place.“

“I ordered an almond cake with almond filling and it was DELICIOUS!! This cake hands-down was one of the best almond cakes that I have ever tasted. The staff are super friendly and the prices are very resonable. I will definitely be ordering from them again.“

“Oh my!! If you pass this spot up you are missing out. We ordered the cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, and Cinnabons. The cupcakes were so soft and velvety. I was expecting had and grainy but these cupcakes are built as if you made regular ones and pulled them out the oven. My mouth watered eating them. The chocolate chip cookies were also soft and delicious. This place needs a stop when you're in the neighborhood. Even for the non vegan crowd these baked good will leave you surprised and ordering additional.“

“Quaint, friendly, family-owned café with delicious offerings all around.I've been going once a week the past month, and I've tried almost everything this place offers. The food is incredible (I'm most partial to the croissants). From the coffee to the breakfast offerings to the truffles, I haven't had something I didn't think was excellent. And they make it all in-house!The staff is great. I've been in during busy times and slower times, and they're always working hard and friendly. (And the cute barista behind the counter is always nice to see.)I've worked in service in the past and so it's impressive to see them in action when the lines start forming. Really love going there. Can't recommend this place highly enough.“

“What an amazing, new favorite neighborhood cafe! A curious visit that turned into an 'addiction' :) Food is super fresh and very tasty, and by now my family have tried many menu items.Try their Veggie Heaven ( I have never seen my mom wolf down a full sandwich like this one, time and again), their avocado toast, the chopped salad, and the Waldorf salad (with or without the chicken!) -- just great!We've tried vanilla lattes, chai teas, peach iced teas, among others, and all got super high marks as well!Service is as good as it gets, pleasant and kind. We always feel so welcome, even when packed.On top, the place is like a melting pot of people from different backgrounds, walks of life, different languages -- the perfect atmosphere for all!“

“I was back in my hometown for a short trip and wanted to work remote from a cafe. I did a quick Yelp search and stumbled across Marimba Cafe - the new name caught my eye and the aesthetics and offerings here solidified my decision. I don't think I've ever come across a sit down Latin cafe here in Bergen County so to me, since moving away, it's the first of its kind. Also first of its kind to proudly offer CBD infused menu items. I believe they just opened in November! The vibes in here are immaculate. My favorite feature is the stone floor - it just transports you somewhere new! The color scheme in here is also appealing, and the Latin music made me want to dance while I took on meetings haha. Overall, really solid branding and concept. Since I was working west coast hours, I spent the whole afternoon into close here. It's a really great place to work as there were other people working remote. They have comfortable seating and outlets conveniently located along the booth. I will say though that the booth seating was just a tad too high for the table so it took some time getting used to. Also, they do play the music fairly loud (a must) in here so it can be a tad distracting if you're taking meetings and have to speak. Since I stayed here for over 5 hours, I was able to observe the sense of community Marimba has fostered - they greet customers like friends! I also saw on their Instagram that they host community events like paint nights and dance nights and support other local businesses with their La Placita Sundays. I love everything this business is about. I ordered the coquito latte hot and a pan de bono. The latte was solid and I wish the pan de bono was just a bit bigger! I would love to try more here. Congrats to the owners of Marimba, I wish the cafe tons of business and success! I definitely want to visit again when I'm back in town.“

“Delicious cakes and treats and they taste as good as they look! My family, friends and I have been getting custom cakes from Stephanie for many years. Her work never disappoints. I just give her a picture or a concept and she nails it every time! Some of my personal favs are the tres leche, funfetti carrot and champagne cake.“

“We were in Nyack to walk around before we headed back to BK and thought we'd stop for coffee and a pastry. I was hoping for a cappuccino but the machine looked like it was out of use so I got a black coffee -- not bad. What was great was the apple tart: lots of juicy apples, delicious crème patissiere, and a laminated crust. The pastries are HUGE -- the apple slice was more than enough for both of us. They have a small selection of macarons, which we didn't try, and a lot of other pastries (no eclairs, alas). Plus it seems to be a family owned business. I would definitely go back.“

“Not only was customer service on point but from one Chef to another one baker to another. Well done Chef Maria Caputo. Even Hannah was great and knowledgeable. Even the Tik-ToK cookies we over the top. Big smile here! Yum Yum was well worth the visit!“

“This place is amazing! It's always clean, nice, and neat. They offer delicious options for desserts and grab-and-go meals. I love that they have a simple yet fulfilling menu. The atmosphere is super chill and totally worth it. My family and I love to grab a few pastries to take home, and now it has become our go-to gift store. Whenever we have an event or an office meeting, we travel all the way from New City to Englewood without hesitation.The only details that sometimes disappoints us is that at the end of the day, the staff's attitude or vibe is not as nice as in the mornings. We totally understand that it's the end of the day and they want to go home, but it would be great if they could maintain their friendly attitude throughout the day., and that it only opens at 8 am, so work commute to grab a coffee becomes hard. However, around 90% of our experiences there have been nice, and we look forward to visiting again soon“

“I love Stew Leonard in Paramus. I like your paps beer for $11. That's cheap. I also like the store very clean. I like your avocado display the dancing avocado and I like the rubbing like a ducky and I like the cow and I love you. Still have clean it is“

“Came to Sander's to get some kosher baked goods for my coworkers. I really wanted to get some donuts, but it was too early in the morning, and they were still baking them. Ended up getting some rugelach that were fresh from the oven. The rugelach were a hit in the office. The staff really liked them. My coworker who was kosher really liked them too. A bunch of people just kept eating them throughout the day. The rugelach were delicious. The chocolate was good. The pastry wasn't too sweet. The vanilla ones were great too, but I really liked the chocolate ones the best. They have a dress code that they post in front of the store before you go in. Make sure you wear closed toe shoes, cover your knees, and shoulders. It shouldn't be a problem in the winter though. If you want some good baked goods, Sander's is a great option. If you're like me and wanting to pick up some kosher pastries, I would check which certification your friend/coworker accept as there are many they may or may not eat.“

“Adorable, delicious and friendly! Ordered their out-of-this-world chocolate chunk cookies for a birthday party and they were a huge hit! Staff is great-- Jolanta in particular has such a wonderful, can-do attitude and is always smiling and welcoming customers by name.This place is a winner!“

“I thought it was wonderful that instead of selling me drinks and walking away the owner asked what my large order was for. He arranged for us to have them delivered instead. They were there and fresh. Everyone loved them.I really appreciate that.“

“Hello America, I'm back.Glaubers, what a store... An Erev Shabbos treat. I had a little problem though.I ordered a pan of cholent and a pan of kugel, and it was so heavy that it caused some back pain, and I havent been able to walk since Friday. IT'S NOW TUESDAY!To the owner of Glauber's, as compensation, I think it would only be fair to settle for free Gefilte fish for life.Please reach out promptly. Thank you.“

“This kind of donut is not the same thing you are getting at DD or Krispy Kreme. It is a rice batter and has a really unique and tasty flavor. The topping are also very good too and add a lot. However, this location has sales that help support the local school systems and I really appreciate their community involvement. Bravo!“

“"I recently had the pleasure of visiting Kriotas Bakery in Teaneck, NJ, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The cake I ordered was not only delicious but also incredibly fresh, leaving me wanting more.The bakery's attention to detail is truly commendable. Every bite was a burst of flavor, and the texture was perfectly moist. It's evident that they use high-quality ingredients and put great care into their baking process.In addition to the amazing cake, the service at Kriotas Bakery was exceptional. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to understand my preferences and helped me choose the perfect cake for my occasion.I highly recommend Kriotas Bakery to anyone looking for a delightful and delectable cake experience. Whether it's a special celebration or just a craving for something sweet, you won't be disappointed. I can't wait to visit again and try more of their mouthwatering creations!Thank you, Kriotas Bakery, for providing such a memorable and enjoyable culinary experience."THE BEST GLUTEN FREE CAKE!!!!“

“We come here often for authentic Italian pastries, gelato and granita. Everything is fresh and delicious. We took a class recently and made delicious ravioli, arancini and pistachio cookies. The class with Chef Andrea (owner) was so much fun and I highly recommend it for a fun night out with friends or family or even a date night. There are a maximum of ten students (so not crowded at all) and you get to sample what you have made and take enough home for a meal the next day. Chef Andrea explains the ingredients and technique and then you proceed to prepare the items under his supervision. He explains how to source the items you will need to make items at home and gives you printed easy to follow instructions to take home. He is funny, patient and great to work with. We can't wait to take another class with him!!“

“BEST coffee in Irvington!!! I'm there often for large orders to bring to work and Mike and Brittany are so patient, kind, and deeply care for their community. We always have such great conversation while they make my oat latte. So much love is put into what they do-- amazing coffee, incredible pastries, and do NOT sleep on that egg sandwich.“

“Rose at Rispoli’s is a delight! Best service and pastries in Bergen County! The lobster tails are to die for. Just ordered a birthday cake and Easter dessert. Not to mention the fresh bread baked all day long. You cannot go wrong with this gem in our backyard!“

“I have ordered here and stopped in multiple times since opening! I am always beyond impressed by the work they do, especially when they made me custom UGG cookies for my job! Even the in-store product is amazing & the Disney themed items are my favorite. I will continue to order again and again!!! Thanks Michelle & Torre!!!!!!“

“This place is the best. Good quality coffee and nice baristas. Lots of parking... Only complaint: they take so long. If you're in a rush, don't come here. If you get stuck behind even 3-4 people in line - you will be waiting for your coffee for a while. it would also be one thing if the Barista's's were working extremely quickly, but they take their sweet time and are basically in slow motion / don't really seem to care at all that there's a line out the door of people waiting. Regardless, this coffee is amazing, the shop is so cute and just wanted to give some constructive criticism on the service because sometimes it is the one thing that stops me from coming and going somewhere else!“

“Rewriting a review: I wrote a review previously but I realized I was having a bad day. This place is one of my favorites. Whenever i am stressed, I run over there to sit down and relax.I miss their bagels, but they have great stuff. I love their activities outside. My family really enjoys it.I really recommend the good witch coffee bar for anyone!“

“I got an assortment of gourmet cookies for a party and they were a hit!! The oreo cookies, red velvet and crème brulé was amazing and everyone who tried them kept asking where I got them from. I look forward to trying the other pastries ?“

“I can't be more impressed with the owner herself ie Christina and her beautiful creation of a yacht cake that she made for me at the very last moment. The cake was perfect and it was melting in the mouth and really yum. I will surely return for any future orders.“

“The official cake lady is officially our go to bakery!! Kim did our sons cake for his superhero party this weekend and WOW so cool and creative even included lights (iron man themed) !!! The cake was delicious too!!! She’s done a couple of cakes for us already and everyone raves about it!! She was so easy to work with and so kind!! She even texted me links from Amazon for a cake topper. It was a pleasure Kim to work with you and your staff!! Thank you!! People are still talking about your cake!! ;) Oriana from Liam’s superhero party!“

“So I saw this place on Groupon and thought "why not I like Rugelach". bought it and used right away. I went in at a weird time ( about 4pm on a Saturday night) and there weren't very many rugelach left. The owner gave me a free sample and I instantly knew why. They are amazing! They were fresh (warm) and tasted great. I sampled the apricot and then bought the raspberry and chocolate. The Apricot was the best tasting of all of them; the raspberry was the best I have ever had; and the chocolate was also great! I also bought some chocolate chip cookies. They were also very good, but the best hands down were the rugelach. It was a tiny bit hard to find at first. It is in this strip mall next to Dunkin Donuts, on route 46. I will definitely be back and this place will likely become my go to place for holidays at my in-laws.“

“Lovely Bakery Cafe with a classic, relaxed ambience and old world charm. Came late afternoon on Presidents Day and there were lots of customers but also plentiful seats available. The croissant lived up to its reputation! It was large, crumbly and flaky on the outside and very affordably priced. Cashier was very friendly too! She offered to heat up our croissant and brought it out to us on a plate. This place is definitely worth a visit!“

“I've been a loyal customer for years and while I always commend the food, I'd like to send a shoutout to the hardworking ladies working at the front!I visited earlier this morning and it was still pretty busy. But the employees made sure to keep the display pastries fully stocked ad neatly arranged. And there were so many rude customers but the employees handled them with grace and hospitality. That shows true professionalism and I hope these ladies know that their earnest work is much appreciated!As for the food, I'm happy to say their kouign amann and tomato/eggplant galette are still divine! Their seasonal pastries are stunning, gorgeous, and a real treat to look at, and I love coming back to see their monthly offerings! But I'd have to say that the real champion of this visit were the classy employees! Keep up the great work!“

“On my birthday, my husband and daughter tried to find a small yellow cake with chocolate frosting at 5 different bakeries in the area, with no success. I called Allie's Bakery, and they had EXACTLY what I wanted! I ordered the cake, and my husband and daughter went to pick it up. When they got home, I was delighted to see that even though it was small, Allie's had neatly and carefully written Happy Birthday with my name across the top, and the whole family agreed it was delicious. They were helpful and nice on the phone and, most importantly, they make great cakes! We will definitely go there next time we need a cake!“

“A quaint and quiet bakery with tons of delectable treats from cookies, scones, pastries, to empanadas, sanwiches, burgers, salad and even cake! I was debating between 4 and 5 stars, but decided on 5 stars because of the hospitality and friendliness of the staff members. I wanted to show them love, and also keep this homey, lovable cafe around town. Nothing too crazy, but feels right at home!“

“This place is beyond especially if you are gluten free. I really wish more places had this quality of gluten free goods as well as such great options. There are also so many sugar free options as well (keto) which is excellent. My husband is not gluten free nor super sugar conscious and also loves everything from here!A few things that would make this place better to consider: being closed Sunday and Monday is tough if that was mid week it would make my purchases probably 2x in frequency, can you sell mini sized cookies or cookies in 12 packs? Thats definitely one of the best items I would buy that weekly.“

“This restaurant was absolutely wonderful! The service was incredible and you can tell they love what they do. Food was made fresh and came out very quickly. Will definitely be coming back again and recommend everyone to stop by and give them a try!!“

“I came here on a Sunday afternoon to work. It's a small place, so there are not many tables, but they have WiFi and outlets. The cafe is covered in real plants. The servers were kind and friendly and you could tell the barista was passionate about the art of coffee. The food and drinks were great: * Matcha Yuzu - 10/10 - The matcha flavor is not strong and earthy, so it's perfect for non matcha lovers. The yuzu syrup adds a nice brightness of flavor, and the addition of the sparkling water makes the drink extra refreshing. I saw the barista hand whip the matcha too. * Cortado - 8/10 - I'm not a coffee drinker, so take this review with a grain of salt. This drink is pretty strong since it's equal parts espresso and milk, but I liked the flavor of the beans. * Chocolate Croissant - 8.5/10 - The pastry was buttery, flakey and light. I wish there was a bit more chocolate tho because only 1/3 of the bites had chocolate. Overall, I would definitely come again for the vibes and food. I want to try their hot food options next time.“

“What an amazing place! Friendly and nice location. Their cookies and Spanakopita are fresh and taste straight out of the oven. Soft, fresh and full of flavor! After becoming extremely sick and hospitalized early this year from visiting Zai’s Dessertery in Bergenfield and forcing myself to eat disgusting, stone hard, and sugar packed desserts, due to not being able to get my money back from the cashier, Athens Bakery has been a great find for sure. Thank you Athens Bakery for being great to your customers!“

“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 . Im glad I did ,I have to say my goddaughter sweet 16 turned out so beautiful it was more then we expected we sent her a picture and she matched it to the tee, and it tasted amazing. And let me not forget to mention their very reasonable in their prices They will definitely get my business again.“

“I called keremo cakes with a last minute request to make a custom cake for my wife’s birthday. They had the cake ready in one day and we couldn’t be happier. I sent them a picture of what I was looking for and they made it even better than the picture!“

“The pastry's at this bakery is unbelievable delicious can't say enough about it the owner is a customer of mine I work at Autozone in Bergenfield NJ and his bakery is right up the street from store so I frequent his bakery often for myself and my coworkers his staff is also very friendly if ever in the neighborhood I highly recommend checking this place out“

“I came here for the first time on Monday as I was trying to find places nearby to eat lunch and I really enjoyed it. It's a great place to grab a bite to eat during lunch. Its clean and the staff are super friendly! I work near by so it has been my go-to place to sit down and eat. I haven't tried their subs yet but will soon! I recommend it if you are near by the Glen Rock area!“

“I ordered a cannoli cake for my father’s 90th birthday. I called, they answered, guided me as to what I would need based on the event and number of people, charged a very fair price and done! The cake was ready on time and more importantly DELICIOUS! I highly recommend them.“

“Their pastries are amazing. The service is amazing. Sweet sugary goodness. Got addicted after a coworker brought a box of the pecan danish's and I will never go anywhere else. What's nice is that you can place an order before hand for pick up since those go out super fast by high demand. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays which is a bummer but definitely give them a try. Small bakery but big impact on your taste buds! Love it!“

“We love the unique design of the bakery and the beautiful flowers on the window. My daughter always wants to takes pictures out front. The cake pops are my son’s favorite and mine are the macaroons. Their cupcakes and cakes are beautiful and always leave everyone happy! Denise, the owner is amazing and so hard working! We love this bakery on Main Street!“

“6 stars. Impossible to find a Swedish princess cake in the metro area. Was tipped off that Bageriet might be able to make one. Gave a call, immediate yes. Accommodated around the holidays, cakes were amazing, service was personal and kind. Highly recommend. Please support this loc business for the service and quality. If you need a princess cake - a rare and unique delicacy - they can pull it off, give em a call.“
