The pink velvet and Banana upside down cake were tasty as well. The staff was nice, and I didn’t have to wait long for my order even ordering ahead. One of selections ended up being sold out and the workers decided to give me a free cookie. I’ll definitely be back, I can’t wait for next’s week lineup.“

I have many favorites including triple chocolate, crumb cake, brookie, and chocolate covered banana, but they are always coming up with new & unique yummy flavors so that could change! I love buying a dozen at once and freezing most of them so I can enjoy them anytime; I’ve kept them as long as a year and they are still delicious.“

“This is my go to Colombian bakery. I have been a loyal customer since 2012.
Their menu is limited if you are planning to dine in, however, it is quite reliable and consistent. It is pure comfort food.

If you are not that adventurous, I highly recommend their empanadas de carne (beef and potatoes) and pan de bono (cheese bread). Those are usually the favorites of any picky eaters that join us 😁“

“I am super impressed with this bakery! If I could give more stars, I would!! Our granddaughter loves macarons so I had the thought of ordering them for her birthday. I turned to google to find a company that would ship them. I was a little behind the game and ordered them on Monday, late afternoon, for a Friday delivery. I wasn't holding out too much hope that they'd arrive on that day since they were coming from NJ and being shipped to WI but I placed the order anyway with the requested date. But guess what! They arrived on the exact date! Not only that, but they were personalized with Happy Birthday and even her name on some of them! Additionally, they included a handwritten note with my message on it instead of something that was just printed off. They really went over and above my expectations! My granddaughter said each of the flavors were so delicious! I will definitely be ordering from them again in the future. What a wonderful company! (oh! and a side note, out of the companies I found that would ship - Izzy's was the most affordable! BONUS!!!)“

“Absolutely the best bagel there is. Each one no matter the flavor is a delight. And their food that they put on the bagel is delicious. Get there before 3;30 PM if you want sliced cheese because they close the slicer at 3;30. I know if I get there at 3;32 PM the slicer is off. So I get tuna fish instead and it’s about as good as it gets. The staff is friendly and do a good job. What a place!“

“Ate there on their covered patio area. Just coffee and a sweet treat. Got some bread and cookies to bring home. Never disappoints.“

“This place is officially my go to local bakery! Victoria and her mom Laurence have been nothing but kind and helpful each time I’ve went in. My friends and family raved about the triple chocolate cake i picked up for my sisters birthday and my best friend and i enjoy a quiet breakfast and cafe on the weekends! The decor is so welcoming and bright. It’s a great place to sit, and relax! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious pastries and French imports. It’s a piece of home for my mom, as well! 🇫🇷🥖🥐🥮🧁🎂💕“

“Received the most amazing surprise birthday cake from SJ! It was as delicious as it was beautiful! This is our third time ordering from SJ, and each time it has been better than the last!

“I’ve ordered the Nothing Bundt Cakes for workplace celebrations since my staff and I love them. We usually order in lemon raspberry and chocolate chip—both offered in gluten-free—and they are absolutely amazing! I usually eat gluten-free, and these have become my go-to. Even though my staff isn’t gluten-free, they absolutely love them and can’t even tell the difference. We also get them delivered to our workplace, which is a convenient option. They’re incredibly moist, flavorful, and always a huge hit every single time!“

“5 star for Philly Fluff alone! Aside from that, the staff was so friendly and helped me find just the right dessert for my T1D husband. KETO CHEESECAKE. It too was a big hit and had NO EFFECT on his sugar level. It is good to know that we can keep a fresh baked dessert on hand to keep a T1D satisfied! Thank you Natale's!“

“I initially stopped by to pick up a cupcake for my boyfriend’s birthday, but my first interaction wasn’t the best and I almost left without making a purchase. As I was heading out, Edo overheard what happened and came out to personally make things right.

I’m so glad he did. Edo was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuine, we ended up having a great conversation, and he went above and beyond by gifting my boyfriend four cupcakes for his birthday. It truly made his day special.

His level of care and commitment to his customers really stood out. You can tell he’s community-driven and takes pride in his business. Because of him, I will absolutely be coming back and continuing to support this shop.“
