Based on the reviews, La Rosa's Pastry Shop & Bakery is the best bakery around, offering cannolis, cookies, cakes, pies, and Italian pastries like Sfogliatella. The strawberry cake uses fresh berries, and the blueberry pie tastes like homemade with a perfect flaky buttery crust and filling that maintains its structure. The elephant ear is the best one ever had. The food is always delicious, with no one coming close to the quality and variety. However, some reviews mention the service is not family friendly, with a sour experience where a child could not purchase a cookie. Despite this, the establishment is praised for its phenomenal staff and is a family tradition for holiday favorites. Authentic Italian pastries in Monmouth County are a highlight, and the shop also sells artisanal semolina baked bread. While some will not be coming back due to the service, others highly recommend it and would not go anywhere else.
