“We were looking for Brasilian salgadinhos to snack on during the Copa 2024 Brasil game. We found a large assortment at Cafe Cirino.
It’s a small place, with tables. A surprisingly large menu, with lots of choices. Gabriela took our order, which was made on the spot and well packaged for the trip home.
Paid parking across the street.“

“Hey guys, listen to what I'm saying.There is no need for anyone to look anywhere else. This is definitely the spot. Excellent food, nice place and beautiful people. If you order a full tray of food, trust me, you won't be disappointed ?. I usually take empanadas to my coworkers in NYC, and they love them. Thanks to Nossa Aldelia Bakery. And by the way, they make some amazing pastries.Thanks ? Danny Rodriguez“

“This cake was a true testament to baking done with love and intention, with so much precision and attention to detail. From the first bite, you could taste the difference that real, high-quality ingredients used , and how it literally melts in your mouth, great consistency and just the right amount of sweetness. The texture was soft and moist with smooth frosting, delicate decoration, and a beautiful presentation that arrived exactly on time. Thank you so much 🩵“

“Loved this cute little place!!! My daughter and I were out and about, and wanted to get some coffee, but not from the regular “chain” coffee shop, so after a quick search, we headed to Metuchen. We were lucky enough to get parking right outside, and walked in to be pleasantly surprised by the esthetic vibe. Everything was super clean, and we were greeted right away by the super friendly employee. My daughter ordered a cappuccino and I got iced coffee. We also got a cheese and pesto savory pastry and a passion fruit and coconut tres leches dessert. Everything was delicious!!!!! Thanks for the enjoyable experience. We will definitely return.“

“If you’re looking for someone to make your kid’s birthday extra special, look no further than Gimme S’more! 💕 I used them for my son’s 5th birthday and I was blown away. The owner was such a great communicator and seriously went above and beyond. She even ordered the monster trucks herself to make my son's cake vision come to life! and let me tell you, a monster truck crashing into the cake is about as cool as it gets for a 5-year-old boy. 🛞💥🎂 My son was obsessed! And the Funfetti cupcakes? Oh. My. Gosh. SO moist, so yummy, and they disappeared faster than I could grab one for myself 😂. To top it off, she delivered everything right to the party which made life 100x easier. Highly recommend!! Gimme S’more CRUSHED 🏁 it! 🧁✨“

“Amazing bakery, delicious food and coffee and beverages in general. The atmosphere is so cute. The people are super super kind and sweet and you feel very welcomed when you walk into the bakery. This will definitely be my go to spot, I would rather support turquoise, bakery and café over any Starbucks or any other coffee shop!“

“Had a last minute order of over 40+ cupcakes and the team did an amazing job making sure I got what I needed. The cake was SO moist. Would recommend. Ty, ladies!!“

“Amazing Cinnamon Rolls. Perfectly baked dough, not over done. Extra Cinnamon, not the cheap stuff and plenty of sweet glaze for the top.“

“Awesome food! Amazing family!“

“I just had the best cake for my son’s 50th. Not only did it look great but it was delicious! I will be back for every event! Their pastries were amazing as well and the girl behind the counter couldn’t have been more helpful. She even brought the cake to my car!!“

“One of my favorite bakeries from now on. Love the pastries, drinks and the crew service is very good as well.“

“From price quote, to cake pickup, to eating I had a phenomenal experience. I splurged for my 30th birthday for a custom cake. La Bon was affordable for what I wanted which was amazing. Their staff was incredibly sweet, professional, and all around pleasant. And the cake? Oh my God. I couldn't ask for a better outcome. I provided a reference photo and the result was an exact match. Flavor wise? Impeccable. I don't know what it is about these cakes but it was hands down the best cake I've ever had in my life. It was decadent but not too sweet (especially with black frosting, I was pleasantly surprised), perfectly piped frosting, and perfectly light and flavorful strawberries and cream filling. I will 100% be trusting all my future cakes to la bon from now on!“

“The bagels were just as they are supposed to be - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We got a dozen to bring back to NH with us because they were that good. Service was friendly and fast. I'd go again if I'm ever in the area.“

“Thank you making a great cake for my daughter Janelle Bridal Shower! The cake was very fresh and good! Very one loved it! I will alway get my cakes there! Thank you for help me getting in the car yesterday!!“

“Brenda, who works the cashier at the Paris Baguette is seriously amazing! I went in last week during the afternoon rush, and despite the chaos, she was super friendly and helpful. It's not just that she's efficient at ringing people up; she actually makes you feel welcome.

I was having a tough day, and her cheerful attitude totally turned things around. She recommended the mochi donuts, which were delicious, by the way! You can tell she really enjoys her job and cares about the customers.

Honestly, in a world where customer service can sometimes be lacking, Brenda shines. She's a total asset to that Paris Baguette, and I'll definitely be back, not just for the pastries, but also for the great service!“

“Love them. Close to work I love ❤️ perusing shops and decompressing during lunch. Restaurants are amazing“

“We just had Tuscany Old Bridge BBQ cater our wedding this past weekend. They surpassed every expectation! Anne treated us as if she has known us for years! She took such good care of us. Our griller, Mike and his wife Pat who was our server, were absolutely the best! Our 60 family and friends are still raving about the food! It made our wedding such a memorable occasion! I highly, highly recommend them. We will be repeat customers!“

“I've tried a couple of mochi donuts here and they are all amazing! Not too sweet and the flavors all hit the mark. I've recently stopped by and noticed they had Christmas themed donuts, which is think is so cute, they would be great to bring to a party or to gift to someone.“

“Delicious cookies! Highly recommend!“

“greate food , good place and people“

“Best fruit cake I ever had“

“We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding cake! Each layer was absolutely delicious and thoughtfully crafted: a vanilla cake with custard and fresh strawberries, a chocolate cake with cannoli filling, and a vanilla cake with mango mousse. Not only was it a stunning centerpiece with beautiful fall-inspired colors, but every bite was incredible. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! The team did an amazing job bringing our vision to life. Highly recommend this cake shop for any special occasion!“

“I ordered a bridal shower cake for my daughter and I’m so happy I chose Dorsi’s to bake it!! It was absolutely beautiful and taste even better!!! I highly recommend Dorsi’s for any of your specialty cake needs!!! Beautiful job! 👏👏👏“

“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!“

“I ordered a Baked Bouquet for my grandma’s 99th birthday and it was a huge hit! When we brought it out, everyone genuinely thought it was a real flower arrangement — the detail was unbelievable. People were actually hesitant to eat it because it looked so pretty!

But once we did, wow — the cupcakes were fresh, soft, and delicious. Not overly sweet, just really good. My grandma loved it and so did the rest of the family. It added such a special touch to the celebration. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something unique and beautiful and tasty!“

“OMG..Amelia & Rose Hot Chocolate Bombs are the ultimate treat!! There explode perfectly even in dairy free milk❤️ ..and the packaging is do beautiful.. They were a hit on Christmas 🎄 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Absolutely LOVE the pittah bread It’s like eating a baked cloud“

“We have Used Mordys To cater our son’s bar mitzvah, and the food was fresh and delicious.
The bagels were one of the best ones we’ve ever had. The platters looked beautiful. The ordering process and the help with figuring out quantities was pleasant and helpful.
Happy with our experience.
Definitely will use again for a next event. Highly recommend.“

“I usually never leave a review, but I have to leave a review for Paris Baguette at this location. The service is stellar, and the employees there are so knowledgeable so quick and so eager to help. This is my first time at Paris Baguette in store, and it won't be my last. Thank you for all your help!“

“Tasty Cinnamon and Good customer service 😋“

“Shop was clean, quiet, good atmosphere, tons of choices of baked goods and polite staff. We got the small Chocolate and Strawberry Custard cake. It was so tasty! Not too sweet, soft in consistency, great layering. If you get a custard cake, expect it to “drool?” since it’s mainly custard inside. Preferably finish it all at once. It was best fresh and almost just as enjoyable a day later; but I wouldn’t recommend storing it any longer.“

“Bagels are so delicious and fresh! We’re taking 2 dozen home to Virginia!“

“The whole process was seamless! From ordering to making payment to pick-up. PLUS the cake was stunning and delicious!! Will most definitely be ordering from Marie’s Sweet Designs again!!“

“I ordered a maple cold brew with pistachio cold foam from their winter menu and a few donuts. It was all delicious!“

“The best food and the greatest staff ever!! We love having Bruzzese’s in Manalapan 💗“

“LaBon made my granddaughters first birthday cake that needed to be eggless due to allergies. What a beautiful cake and she loved it! Thank you so much for making her day special!“

“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.“

“great customer service! Just roll up before the gates and run inside with your paperwork. Even if the order is not already picked, they will tell you to back up to door number one, or two, and then they'll pick the order quickly! Very little waiting here! A pleasure!“

“Best bread in the area I love the challah breads and cheese danish the freshest I’ve ever tasted. Will be back again and again because this place really is a gem. There aren’t anymore bakery’s in New Jersey so I’m happy they are open?“

“Street parking but it's plentiful for the area so you won't have any issues.

The interior is beautiful with lots of photo opporunities inside.

Their cappuccino is just right. Guava pastry is good. They have empanadas and other patry items like cupcakes, brownies, macarons, etc.

Worth a stop if you have time and are in the area.

They make cakes for special occasions as well.“

“Best bagels. It's a small cozy place. It looks shabby but don't let that fool you. It makes the best bagels in the entire area. They are made to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft on inside. I think they must have a OG recipe for bagels lol. Must try.“
