50 Best Bakeries near South Brunswick

“We were visiting here from Florida, (originally from NJ) and decided to try this place for a bday cake. Jamilli was so sweet and helpful, that she gave us such a nice experience on our trip back north. The cake was gorgeous and the cookies were soft and amazing. She even took extra time to add strawberries and bananas on top of the cake bc that's what the bday boys favorite was. And, she even carried it out to my car, and gave my daughter a free loaf of bread she was eyeing up. I cannot thank them enough for making the last minute bday plans go over so well. We will DEFITINELY stop by on our next trip up. Thanks Again!!!“

“We ordered the Ferrero Rocher Flavor cake. It was amazing. Very delicious and perfectly balanced. All our guests loved it. My Friends and I will definitely be ordering more from Cake and Bake. Malav was great at responding. Highly recommend.?“

“We love the atmosphere, the delicious homemade soups, main dishes, and desserts at the lovely Friends Friend's Cafe :) the jazz evenings outdoors, the chess-playing and studying students & Mo, Josephine, and Hannah with the heart of gold for all furry friends who are welcome inside the cafe, and, of course, on the patio <3 <3 <3 Below is our Rover enjoying his doggie meal and a comfy bed at the cafe :)“

“Let's play a game: Amanda's top 5 foods: -cinnamon rolls -biscuits and gravy -ribeyes -fried scallops -crab legs Ruby's has at least one of those. My local FB group posted a quick review of the cinnamon rolls so I had to check for myself. When I got there, no rolls were in the display case. I was just about to try something else when the person working the register told me there were some that had just been baked. I ordered two because. I walked back to my car to enjoy them by the fall leaves like a bootleg Hallmark movie. They were delicious. Soft and fluffy, lightly glazed, and not overly sweet. I loved them. So much so I went back the next day but they only had them unglazed. So I had to pass. Side note: they also have the festive Canada Dry flavors you only find during the holidays. Love that. This is a cute neighborhood spot. You can even see the ladies in the back kneading the dough and making the pastries. I'll def be back to support it! Rundown: -Pastries to suit everyone's tastes -They take credit cards albeit with a small fee -Order and take to go“

“I love this place! Delicious food made to order to tease your tastebuds. Think French home made cooking right to enjoy either on site or at home. Dishes are prepared with great care and passion for tradition. The place has amazing pastries too from traditional Pain au Raisins, to buttery Croissants or yummy madeleines. And all this in service of the community with a wonderful mission at its core led by a super dynamic and friendly team. What else can we wish for?“

“I'm a regular customer and the cakes I get from them never disappoints! They're affordable compared to other bakeries around the area, and with a small household like ours we don't need a huge cake for celebrations. Their size and portions are just right for us. The weekend specials are such good deals so we always keep an eye on what they would be each month. Staff is always friendly and helpful. I'm pretty sure at this point they remember me considering how often I stop by lol.“

“I stumbled upon the store today and was extremely happy I did. Not only was I able to enjoy a delicious cinnamon roll, but met the owner who couldn't have been more lovely. If you are looking for delicious cinnamon rolls, look no further!“

“The confidence and care in their small business shows when you're a first timer in the coffee shop. They ask the right questions when it comes to the coffee or tea you're looking for. Very delicious and inviting coffee. It's seasonal coffee beans are always changing so make sure you're ready for a great new experience of coffee I miss the Ecuadorian papaya coffee they had. So good after it cooled down a bit“

“Did an absolute amazing job and was super easy to work with Being deployed, I was able to easily coordinate with what kind of design and cake I wanted for my Daughters 4th birthday. Sweta made the communication process super easy and got back right away with each message. Not only did the cake come out awesome, but I was told it was delicious as well. My little princess day was made with the cake, and she thinks Daddy did it all. Thank you so much! Please support this small business, you will not be disappointed!“

“Such a cute little shop and filled with so many goodies.Chelsea makes such great pies and little treats. I've never had pie crust as good as hers. Flaky and crunchy. I wish I could just buy it.? The interior of the shop is adorable. And she has such a cool selection of drinks as well as treats. You never know what you're going to get that day and it might be your new favorite thing. Her salted honey, lavender pie and blueberry pie have to be my favorites! If you can't make it over to the shop you're sure to find some of her delicious pies and quiches at the baker's Grove in Shrewsbury! Everything is fresh. You can also sometimes get sandwiches. Everything she does is thought out and she puts a little bit of love in each goodie Kid-friendliness: This is a business that is open to all kinds of people. For a lot of people this is where they bring their kids for a nice little treat knowing it's not going to be packed full of harmful ingredients.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp.“

“Had gone for breakfast with friends. Great variety of crossiants. Loved the jelepeno crossiant.coffee was good. Had to wait for long to get the coffee. The lady at the counter forgot to give us our coffee and was reminded again to make our coffee. Excellent cakes.“

“This was my first time having a mochinut and it was absolutely delightful!!! Their taro mochinut has been my favorite flavor so far. The texture is sooo good. It's both chewy like mochi and doughy like a donut, the perfect mixture of both! Not too heavy and not too sweet. And their variety of flavors is amazing and unique! I can't wait to go back and have some more. I can tell the staff there work hard to pump out all these donuts and with such quality too! Please keep doing what you're doing!“

“This is my go-to spot for pastries in the area! The coffee brioche and the red bean bun are my favorites. I also lovee the cake here. I've tried the spooky oreo, black forest, tiramisu, and red velvet cakes, and they're all delicious. Staff is also super friendly and helpful.“

“That tres leches cake was the bomb! Crumbl needs to make it a regular thing. I like the weekly menu but they should have some (1-2) classics that stay every week. Also, there was a peanut butter banana cookie that blew my mind a while back. Haven’t seen it since. Sometimes more isn’t better.“

“I had a great experience with Nothing Bundt Cakes Princeton. I had attempted to place an order online, but experienced some technical difficulties. I called the store and spoke with an associate named Jordan who was able to assist me in placing an order to be picked up. I hit some traffic on my way to the store and gave them another call to let them know that my gps said I would be arriving at 4:01 pm (after closing hours). Jordan was extremely helpful and said they would wait for me to pick up my order. I arrived at the store, was greeted and grabbed my order. The bundtinis with the little party hats were a hit for my friend’s birthday!“

“Les delices has the BEST treats around. It’s definitely the most fantastic pastry shop I’ve ever been to in my life. From the monster sized sea salt chocolate chip cookies to the macarons to the mango pana cotta, they certainly don’t disappoint. I even had their delicious treats at my baby shower last year. I can’t recommend them enough!“

“Beautiful pastry and coffee shop on the side street. Not far from the main attractions, but the store wasn't as busy. Was able to enjoy a delicious cup of Rose Latte and carrot cake. The latte and cake were amazing, delicious, and perfect. Great place to end your night. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was so cozy and warm. I will definitely be back to try some other delicious drinks and pastries/ deserts.“

“So this is a bit mixed experience for me. We got some pastries from here few weeks back and ate them in the car as we didbt have time for a sit down, and they were good. We went back recently and decided to stay for breakfast. My breakfast burrito came with bacon but it was thick, hard to bite into and the whole thing just lacked taste. My wife had some type of spinach omelette but that was not very tasty either. The young girl working in front while nice behind the desk taking orders, when she brought my food almost threw it at me, just no smile no asking if we needed anything else, fairly rude in my book. My wife still wanted to get pastry to go and that again was good. So will not be coming back for breakfast but you might be able to grab something that's actually good.“

“Breakfast hours are to die for! I had the disk with three pancakes( A+++ for theos beauties), potatoes cubes ( Extremely crispy as I love it) and fluffy scrambled eggs (?). The waitress Paula is a sweetheart. Her warm gentle energy made my stressful Friday morning calm. The later by the front even complimented my hair the moment I left. Mind u everyone does speak Spanish and the folks who don't speak any they are treated equally. I love the warm happy vibe they gave me my mom and sis. I swear EVERYONE must dine at Perkins!!!!“

“Charming as can be. Such delightful energy. The owner and all staff helping all the customers. I came in with my cousin and we couldn't be more excited. As soon as you walk in, there are things to look at to the right. The book the cheap published, as well as all sorts of kitchen gadgets. Walking straight forward is such a wonderful treat. So many baked goodies in the glass display case. They recommended some savory and sweet treats and that's what we got. I was really pleased with everything we got. Spinach Pastry and dragonfruit pastry. Wonderful!! Every bite was so delightful! I look forward to coming back again. The proprietress is so kind and so engaging ! This will be your favorite place too.“

“Took my elderly mother to Perkins on a Sunday morning. Her favorite place to go. Breakfast was good you can never really beat Perkins pancakes. The waitress was very nice, the service was fast, and the food. Pricing was also with an average range. My mother goes to this Perkins I believe on Wednesday nights because they have two entrees for $30, you can't beat that.“

“I rarely add reviews but had to for this place. Their bagels are on point! Light and airy and are huge! Best bagel place in this area hands down and I'm quite particular about my bagels, lol! Always tough to find good bagel places. Strongly suggest checking it out!“

“I have been shopping there over 20-some years. There are other middle eastern groceries in the Brunswick area, but this is the best one in my opinion. Good quality products in a clean and well-organized store. What sets them apart is how warm and helpful the owners who take turn running the store. Everyone, not just middle easterners, can enjoy the high-quality cold cuts, cheeses, breads, jams, olives, baked goods, spices and frozen meals. The baked goods are beyond good and make wonderful gifts. Arabic and Turkish coffee blends beat almost anything you would find in a supermarket. It is a hidden gem in North Brunswick.“

“In over 25 years, I've never had a single thing from Olives that wasn't delicious. Not one thing. My favs are the spicy gyro and spicy chicken souvlaki. The triple salad combo is unbeatable for the health conscious foodie. The spanakopita is right on the mark. Hummus. Stuffed grape leaves. Their baked goods... the BAKLAVA- crunchy, buttery sweetness. says best in town on the menu... it's the best, period. You can't go wrong with ANY of the lunch or dinner specials. I could go on- but I need to put in my order before the lunch rush.“

“Thank you Desi bakes for making my dad’s 80th birthday so special with the yummiest fresh crème pineapple cake. Sheri was lovely And when she heard that I wanted to do something for dad from Sydney she supported us throughout and had it delivered before time for my family in NJ. Thanks again!“

“If I could give a 10 star rating I would. Do not miss the opportunity to come into this bakery. It may look small, but it is welcoming and packs a great punch of tasty treats! I ordered a few cakes this year, decided to trust that they would be good because I am a spoiled NYer when it comes to baked goods. Not only were the cakes and cookies for small occasions delicious and moist, they were beautiful and they will wven customize smaller cakes. Today topped the cake for me haha.... I ordered a cake a week in advance and paid a small cash deposit. I picked out the flavors and fillings and gave an idea of what I wanted my cake to look like. Well, when I tell you they replicated what I wanted and I was more than pleased they even ordered the animation for the top ....I am so happy that I have this place as a savior to my taste buds when I need a good sweet. It is a decent price considering the quality is on point and the animation too!!“

“I cannot recommend Sweet Gourmet highly enough! They went above and beyond to make my daughter's birthday extra special with custom cheetah cupcakes. Not only were the cupcakes visually stunning with intricate cheetah designs, but they tasted incredible. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients were evident in every bite. The team at Sweet Gourmet was incredibly professional, accommodating, and talented. They truly exceeded my expectations and made the entire process seamless from start to finish. If you're looking for delicious treats and exceptional service, look no further than Sweet Gourmet!“

“The Princeton location is my favorite local place for a cappuccino and dessert. Very few places make a European quality cappuccino as Chez Alice does. Service is friendly, prices are reasonable and the Ambience is definitely very French and lovely. When weather permits, I generally will sit outside at the café tables under the awning. Bonus, the cafe is dog, friendly!“

“Food was great but pretty pricey for the servings. My lamb curry was expensive but didn't come with rice / naan, and I had to buy separately. Has a cafeteria ambiance, felt cramped and needed to move around people Loved the wide selection of food - they have all types of entrees, snacks, and baked goods. Would want to come back and try out other foods“

“House of Cupcakes provides for a spectacular journey of the senses - both visually and in taste.It is quite easy to walk past the cupcakery, as it sits discreetly within the row of restaurants and other small shops. However, posters and signage at the windows do a decent job at capturing the attention of the wayfaring netizen to give insight of the delights found within.Inside the House of Cupcakes resembles that of a deli with a dash of boutique vibes. There is an immediate gravitation to the shelves of assorted cupcakes that line the wall behind the counter. There are also prepackaged cupcakes at the counter for available for quick in-and-out purchase if you don't have time to flounder around with making the "perfect" selection(s). If you are able to distract yourself from those mesmerizing goods, there are also racks of what appear to be locally sourced and made treats available if cupcakes are not your jam. But really, the visually appealing cupcakes steal the show.The variety and assortment of fresh cupcakes is truly overwhelming, and you could really sit there for minutes trying to decide on what you want. Definitely suggest that you go in with a plan-of-attack; know what flavors you are craving and build around that premise. However, I don't feel that you can go wrong judging by the flavors, and taste (in hindsight).The cupcakes themselves are incredibly fluffy and soft in texture and consistency. Sure, like other cupcakes they will harden if left expose to the elements, but if consumed properly and efficiently, these probably rates as one of the best cupcakes in the local area (the other best ones we've had are from Blue Sheep Bakery). Depending on the flavor and style, you might have filling within some of the cupcakes, while the majority of them are covered in a rich buttercream. The buttercream has been made to perfection - it is light (almost airy to a degree) and not entirely too sweet.We picked up half-a-dozen assort cupcakes, and surprisingly the Black Forest and Dulce de Leche varietals stood out to me. I was expecting the Dulce de Leche to be overwhelming sweet, but it was not and incredibly enjoyable. The Red Velvet was good and held its own, however, would have been amazing if the buttercream was cream cheese-based.All-in-all, a great spot to visit for some treats/desserts!“

“I've been a loyal customer of Paris Baguette for years! I love window shopping all the beautiful pastries and bringing home some tasty treats. Everything is fresh and tastes just as good as it looks! A little pricey, but better than any other pastries in the area. Breakfast sandwiches are also great with a yummy iced latte on the side!“

“These cakes are AMAZING! My daughter’s school had a fundraiser and our order just came it tonight, first time trying Nothing Bundt Cakes and I wish I would of tried them a long time ago. Cake was so moist and just delicious! No sweet, just perfect. The cream cheese frosting is to die for! Can’t wait to order for my daughter’s birthday next month!“

“Hands down the best pollo empalizado I’ve had , also .. this is my second time coming for the food . I came for some sweets the first time the other day and they were great ! Staff was very helpful and friendly , its a Cozy little warm spot , I’ll be back for sure ??“

“I love the foods. The taste is amazing and as I remember the Girl IRMA was too good to me. The ambience and taste top notch. I think if they have more sitting space that would be amazing for the customers. I will go again and Hoping Irma will serve again.“

“Delicious Mexican pastries! Everything was freshly made. I enjoyed a breakfast taco (egg, ham & quesillo) on a homemade corn tortilla.. OMG.. it doesn't get any better. There's very little space to dine in so best bet is take out.“

“Everything is delicious, the only thing is that you have to call with plenty of time since it gets very busy and when that happens, the girls stop answering the phone so as not to take more orders! That's very annoying - They need more employees, your business has grown, congratulations!!“

“After our favorite bagel place in Robinsville changed hands and took a nosedive we were on the search for a good bagel. After a pretty thorough search finding fat doughy bagels, hard flovorless things, etc. we found Bagel Nosh close to home. As some have mentioned they do tend to run out more often then most, at least you know they are fresh AND they have FLAGELS!! They only have everything flagels and run out early but we love their bagels. Sometimes the cream cheese distribution if off but that's what knives are for.“

“We've had the pleasure of hosting two events with Mordys Kosher Bakery, and their service has been exceptional. The food is not only delicious but also incredibly fresh. Our employees eagerly anticipate our events just for the chance to enjoy Mordys' cuisine. Additionally, their pricing is reasonable, and they're very generous with portion sizes.“

“Masala Chai is actually the chai Indians make at home, not the pseudo versions you have at cafes. They make the chai right in front of you in a chai pan ?Bombay sandwich and Avocado toast are a must to try.I visit New Brunswick for meetings, and this place a much drop in for breakfast and chai.“

“I love their chicken sandwiches, it’s very authentic and reasonable price. They also have a good selection of tacos and sweets. The manager Juan is very friendly and attentive. He’s always willing to help and have the customer feel welcome. ???????????????????“

“Previously the Hot Breads in Monroe, Currys & Cakes is under new ownership but remains an Indian bakery. The owners are very nice and helpful. One day I called asking if they had pav bhaji buns available and they didn't, but they asked me how many I needed and told me to come at a certain time because they had begun baking the bread. When I picked them up, the buns were still steaming hot and they remained hot once I arrived home. They were fluffy, soft, and delicious. I appreciated their kind actions and look forward to supporting their business in the future!“

“My girlfriend and I have brunch here every weekend. The food and ambiance are fantastic! The service is also excellent. The smashed avocado tartine is by far our favorite dish, and any espresso drink we’ve gotten to date has been amazing. It does get a bit crowded around 10am-11am on the weekends, but tables usually clear out quickly enough such that you’re seated before your food arrives. Overall I could not recommend this place more!“

“Was grabbing lunch in this plaza and came across the Golden Bread Bake Shop. Cute older man was busy baking fresh breads and pastries in the oversized commercial ovens. He meticulously rotated the breads for even baking/browning and the smell was so tempting. I was introduced to Filipino cuisine by a friend of mine and saw the cashew tarts. Bought 2 packs of that, some coconut muffins and a chicken empanada. Cashew tarts are as delicious and tasty as I remembered. Nice chewy filling, flaky crust and not too sweet. Perfect snack for me and kids. Love to support a small local business. Plan to order my birthday cake there in the upcoming months. Do yourself a favor and support this man!“

“Been coming here since they opened...a long time ago... Went yesterday for the first time in a bit..price up product shrunk..there was enough cake in a cupcake to be basically a glorified mini muffin with a dalopof icing and the cookies are now 4.00 a cookie for a HARD smaller thick cookie..I know the economy hit us hard..but jeez..Disappointed..service though is always on par, the girls always take good care of you...as someone that's been a long time customer just sad for the changes definitely noticable now ..they do taste good“

“It's a pleasure to shop at this store. One cashier especially, Chris O., greets you with a warm smile, remembers your name and even asks questions like, how was the party, or whatever. It makes a trip to the grocery store a little like visiting a friend. Lynn M.“

“i’ve come here a few times and have never been disappointed. today was a bit disappointing. my brother and i waited a whole HOUR for a bagel. it turned out to just be a mix up because someone ordered something similar- i’m not sure what exactly happened but mistakes happen and thats okay. the guy who was on the register gave us a refund after i complained and was extremely apologetic and had our bagels made again. he was trying to talk to a young lady who also works there about what happened and she was being super rude to him. he was trying to ask what happened and she was being a jerk about it. anyways, the guy who refunded us was great. the food was also great. that young lady was not so great. i’m not too concerned about the food taking so long because this has never happened to me here before. and they did the best thing they could to rectify the situation. kudos to bagel fresh!“

“The absolute best bagel in my 43+ years of existence. They’re not simply a circular piece of bread there’s depth of flavor and texture staff is friendly and efficient. The only thing (and it’s kind of major) is that the places unkept. Staff should really concentrate on keeping the place tidier“

“Went to this little bakery this past Saturday, my first time, and it was everything I was told it was (friends who live in the area recommended I make a stop there on my way home) The service was quick, and the young lady who helped me with my order was not only sweet but polite. I ordered a plain croissant and a cappuccino. The croissant was super flaky and buttery . The cappuccino was delicious and hit the spot, especially since it was cold and snowy out. To take home, I ordered some chocolate and plain croissants (also delicious) and the piece de resistance was the King Cake!!! Out of this world! My family loved everything and that cake did not last long! The 20 mile trip was worth it and I would gladly go back again!“

“Wow.. Well this place I have something nice to say.. I went to this place and I ask how much it's the piece of sweet bread.. she say $0.80 piece or 12 x $8 dollars.. first I think wow this it's a nice deal. After I spoke with the manager and I explain to her I was looking for 100 pieces she change the price because the need was for a church donation.. thanks and thanks again and again.. Good place good stuff“

“Food 5⭐️Their pastries and bread selection are decent and come close to the European taste of baked goods. The coffee beverages were just like back in Europe, so don't expect starbucks-like drinks!Service 3⭐️The older lady behind the counter didn't greet us with a smile, I think, regardless of how your day is going. If you're in customer service, a smile is the very minimum, but she also kept looking at something else she was doing, didn't make eye contact at all like I didn't have her full attention and for a small business especially, I think the little things should set them apart or make them stand out. So, in this case, have a friendly and attentive staff.Atmosphere 4⭐️Even though the Café was a small space with only 4 or 5 tables seating 2-3 people each, if I remember correctly, the vibe did not disappoint. It was still very charming, clean and bright.“
