50 Best Bakeries near Rutherford

“I stopped in for some pastries and ended up leaving with so much more than just something sweet. The macaroons were absolutely delicious, perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. You can really tell they’re made with care.

What truly made my experience, though, was Renee. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and just radiated such positive energy. She had no idea I was having a really hard day, but her attitude genuinely lifted my spirits more than she probably realizes. It’s rare to come across someone who makes that kind of impact in such a simple interaction.

Between the amazing treats and the even better service, I’ll definitely be coming back.

(P.S) I’m the girl that was sitting in the car!

Thank you buttercup!“

“Erie is amazing. Highly recommend - coffee is absolutely the best - lattes and all different flavors - hot and cold! The banana bread is my favorite but All of the different baked goods are to die for! Never had anything but excellent here. The owners and the baristas and ALL of the staff are friendly and truly provide the BEST service! If I lived in Rutherford I’d be here every day!“

“WOW! I have life long dairy allergies and recent celiac diagnosis and I am so happy with this bakery! Since Erin McKennas bakery closed in NYC I’ve been on a hunt for a bakery that meets my allergen needs as a lot of vegan bakeries are not also nut free or don’t offer gluten free baked goods. I got a cookie and some of the No Whey chocolates and my partner got a cake truffle and cupcake. The cookie was amazing and my partner said the cake truffle was really good too (they didn’t get a gluten free one). I am happy to know that I have a safe bakery that I can go to and recommend to my family. Will be going back here!“

“Best bakery I’ve ever been in.“

“My husband and I made the long drive yesterday (2 1/2 hrs each way) from upstate NY to visit our daughter in NYC just for the day. While strolling around her neighborhood we came upon your lovely bakery and cafe and after eyeing the beautiful carrot cake in the window, we had to go in. Carrot cake is my favorite sweet treat. There were so many beautiful choices, but we got 2 slices of carrot cake to take back home with us. After the long drive back home we were really looking forward to a piece of cake and a cup of coffee. I opened one of the beautifully packed boxes, which revealed an enormous slice of yumminess!! The slice was big enough for at least 3 people. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Everything about this cake was phenomenal. The frosting was outstanding, the cake was so flavorful and moist. It was the best we’ve ever had. We have enough left for a few days. I’m so glad we stopped in. It was a great way to end our lovely day in the city and will most certainly go back on our next trek in . I will also have to get our daughter pick up some baked goods when she’s coming home for a visit. I highly recommend Crumbly Cafe & Bakery😊😊“

“The best strawberry cheesecake and chocolate covered cannolis I have ever had. 100/10, I’ll dream about these items forever lol.“

“You can buy a pineapple pork bun (so fast with cash your friends are shocked) put it in your backpack and travel across three states, pull it out slightly squished at 3am, and it'll still taste so fabulous you won't want to brush your teeth so you can savor the taste for longer. Juicy, tender, sweet, savory, with a slight crunch. A bun of dreams.“

“As most places in NYC, we stumbled upon this bakery. Once your eyes see it, I challenge you to not go into it. It’s a very colorful place and the person who served us was incredibly patient and friendly (I kept coming back to add to my order). The coffee was very, very good, my cortado was perfect.
We got a couple of pastries for the following day and the croissant (I’m French) was very good even after a day. It was filled with pistachio cream and the size was just right, the cream very nutty and not overly sweet and sickly. Shame we live so far away because I’d make it a regular.“

“Great, Great everything delicious. Outdoor eating area only 4 tables.“

“The best macaroons. The crème brûlée and Ferrero rocher were my favs!“

“Sehr köstlich und empfehlenswert 😋“

“We absolutely love the Kurly Kurdish shop. I had a Kurly kone with cherry vanilla ice cream. This is the best sweet treat. I recommend everyone stop in and try one!“

“Adorable place for a tea, coffee and pastry! Delicious for eating in or takeaway to sit and enjoy the views of the city just down the block“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“👍the best, miss going there, eccellente“

“Looking forward to my orders getting shipped“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“Great staff, friendly, perfect coffee, and their desserts are simply AMAZING!“

“I work for a law firm in CA and we have an employee who works remotely in NY.. For our employee's birthday I wanted to choose a bakery close to her home and who was local. Stumbled upon Buttercup Bake Shop and they were so awesome! Totally worked with me and delivered the cupcakes with NO hassle. Needless to say our NY employee was super happy and LOVED the flavors and decorations of the cupcakes. ❤️“

“Outstanding pastries! My favs are their black and white cookies, (best ever!), brownies and chocolate chip cookies. I find their blueberry muffins and cupcakes to be too small - very tiny.“

“amazing hot chocolate and cakes. i am not sure the wait to sit in is worth it though as i felt a little rushed. but to take away you wont be dissapointed.“

“OMG...this IS the best sponge cake you'll have in NYC. I've had my fair share looking for one that compares to the original Kam Hing. The owner apprenticed with the original Kam Hing owner and finally opened his own cafe! Can't go wrong with the original flavor but the pandan coconut is sooooo goood! it's my new fav! This is my new go to place for sponge cakes!“

“best macarons in NYC! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Sullivan Street Bakery is my go to coffee shop when I'm in Hell's Kitchen. The lattés are good. They have a fairly large variety of flatbreads, sandwiches, cookies, pastries and cake. I feel comfortable hanging there waking up and enjoying my coffee. Calm.“

“A long-established cake shop in New York's Chinatown recommended by Xiaohongshu. The individual items are relatively simple. Coffee, milk tea, cake No other items I personally prefer the original flavor of paper-wrapped cakes. I heard this is the original store. The other stores only sell replicas.“

“We were in NYC for the weekend and I was told to check this place out. They definitely did not disappoint! Everything was delicious but now I need this in Buffalo….will always be on my list when we visit NYC!“

“Are you passionate about pistachios? I am and at Petit Chou there is a pistachio éclair ($8) that is simply divine. Studded with a profusion of the tasty nuts, this pastry also has pistachio cream inside making each bite heavenly. I ate this last Friday. It's best to wait a few minutes to let it soften a bit before starting to eat. When I truly enjoy something I tend to eat slowly savoring each bite even though I know I may have it again.“

“Bread Story is a charming bakery that delivers fresh, well-made breads and pastries with a comforting, homemade feel. The selection is simple but thoughtfully done, with balanced flavors and quality ingredients. It’s a cozy spot to grab a quick bite or something to go, and the consistency makes it easy to come back again and again.“

“This is some of the best food around, full stop – and it just happens to be veg friendly. But beyond that, this is a very special establishment. It’s the kind of place where every single part of the experience reflects care and intention – from the menu, to the decor, down to the cutlery. The vibe is casual, and the folks working there are welcoming and make you feel taken care of. The cumulative experience makes for a level of hospitality that many more formal restaurants in the city have lost. I hope this place is around for many years to come.“

“Delicious empanadas, and desserts! More than just cakes, stop in for a delicious treat like I did!!“

“these are incredibly delicious and the staff is so fun and friendly!“

“Best pancakes on the eastern seaboard! Absolutely delicious maple butter! It’s the best breakfast anywhere in the world!!! 🥞🧇🥓🍁🧈🦋👐“

“definitely recommend it.“

“UPDATE: So I went ahead and ordered from Fabrique on Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras even though I was disappointed with the one I had initially, and as you can see on the second image on this review it's a lot better! Bun is fluffy, cream is great, color is spot on. It could have a bit more almond creme, but it's still enough to be nice. Thanks for the delivery to the Instagram office!

Cosy cafe, but as a Swede with high standards, their Semla does not cut it.

At an initial look, the size is great. Not too much, but still substantial, and the whipped cream looks smooth. However, it's.. grey?! Not sure if they just forgot to add egg when baking the buns, but looks a bit sad.

When starting to eat, there are three things to observe: 1) the whipped cream is smooth, well done on that part. 2) the bun is not fluffy, actually closer to dry, making the whole Semla quite boring. 3) waaaay to little almond creme. A boring bun can be saved by a lot of almond creme, however there is a minimal amount in this one. Even if the bun was perfect I'd be disappointed.

Overall this is a 2 or 3 on a scale of 5. The only reason it could be a 3 is because there are very few places that offer Semla in NYC. That said, if you're one of the few Swedish bakeries in town, you have a responsibility to represent the country in a better way than this. Especially when you charge an outrageous $9.5 for it.

Back to the drawing board Fabrique, this is not good.

Otherwise the cafe is cosy and the people working there seem friendly.“

“Just had a delicious meal here and highly recommend it to everyone! our server, Maria was amazing and guided us in our menu choices.“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“Went bakery hopping that day. by far it has the best croissant. Even saved one for the next day, toasted it and tasted just as good. Staff was friendly too.“

“Amazing baked goods that are not the same played out options you find at most bakeries.“

“Thank you for your generous donation to Glen Rock High School! The desserts were delicious! Can’t wait to go back and pick up some more desserts for my family!“

“Fantastic food, bit overpriced. But new stars in the neighbourhood. The Lady boss known as Fel Cassieli is actualy ex-pornstar and nude model Lenka Janistinova, a true beauty (playboy/Penthouse). And her friend is Michael Munzing, producer of SNAP ‘i’ve got the power’!!! So 3 times 5 stars from me ??“

“Unbelievably good individual cheesecakes. Always fresh and really tasty. I definitely recommend this store.“

“My go-to bakery. Best egg custard tarts. Not too sweet with the flakiest crust. Baked bbq pork buns also excellent. Loaded with meat and not too sweet, either. Oh, don’t forget to buy a box of the walnut cookies for $5, as well as a box of the crispy sesame cookies made with egg whites. Just divine!“

“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 had a pumpkin cookie and a cookies and cream cookie. Both were delicious. I highly recommend!“

“Such an amazing Turkish breakfast experience. The spread was fresh and delicious, but the kuymak was the real highlight — rich, perfectly stretchy, and tasted just like my grandma made it. The staff were so kind and welcoming, truly peak Turkish hospitality. Definitely recommend!“

“Very good and very satisfying“

“Looking forward to my orders getting shipped“
