The ice cream and cones are delicious; I love that they have seasonal flavors to allow for more variety!!“

“This cake was an absolute masterpiece!! All three tiers were a different flavor, one even better than the next….my personal favorite was the coconut cake. Planning a wedding is so overwhelming and there are so many decisions to be made. Polkadot Cake Shop was well organized, quick to respond and so easy to work with. Also loved being able to support a business local to me. Thank you so much!!!“

“I got an assortment of gourmet cookies for a party and they were a hit!! The oreo cookies, red velvet and crème brulé was amazing and everyone who tried them kept asking where I got them from. I look forward to trying the other pastries ?“

The perfect balance of flaky pastry, crunchy nuts, and sweet syrup makes Antepli Baklava a true indulgence. Whether you're a seasoned fan or a newcomer to Turkish sweets, Antepli Baklava is a must-try delicacy."“

“I went to HD with my Frat Bro Mike Odom for lunch. We arrived on an afternoon when the chef was doing a presentation on eating and preparing vegan foods. It was so different than anything I'd ever experienced in dining. A eatery that was concerned about what and how I put food in my body.The selection of items was awesome. I can't wait to go back to try more vegan selections.I'm not a full convert, but I may have added quite a lot more to my food menu.“

“Go here for great fresh baked goods! Picked up a catering order for a shiva and they loved it! Also my hub and I tried an apple danish and couldn't believe how soft and fresh it was! I used to work in a bakery and that pretty much killed my love of sweets but I have to say I was very impressed!!! I remember our things being very hard and not tasty and this seemed like a very traditional bakery that made many of the same items I had sold. However this apple thing...This was good!!! In terms of opportunities...part of my catering order contained challah for the sabbath and the large brown bag had the price written EXTREMELY LARGE AND PROMINENTLY displayed which was a little embarrassing as it was a gift for a loved one's passing. Also, I wish there was delivery or door dash because there was a line out the door so I saw a few people who much have been in a rush bc they were very annoyed...but I guess at the end of the day, good things come to those who wait.“

“Dietary restrictions: Sweet Kneads has worked tirelessly to accommodate those of us who keep the Kosher dietary laws. This has changed the dessert world in Livingston. Whether you order pastries as a special treat or for a fabulous event, you will be so happy you made your order with Sweet Kneads.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bagel Nosh of Livingston and was thoroughly impressed by both the quality of the food and the service. From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home.The variety of bagels on offer was truly remarkable. Whether you're a fan of classic flavors or looking to try something new and adventurous, there's something here for everyone. I personally went for the everything bagel with cream cheese, and it was nothing short of perfection. The cream cheese was rich and flavorful, a perfect complement to the fresh, savory bagel.What truly sets Bagel Nosh of Livingston apart, however, is the incredible attention to customer satisfaction. Diala, the owner, was present during my visit and it was evident that making sure customers are always the #1 priority is more than just a motto here; it's a practice. Her hands-on approach and genuine interest in ensuring every customer's experience is outstanding really stood out to me.The staff were friendly, efficient, and made sure that my order was exactly as I wanted it. It's rare to see such dedication to customer satisfaction.Overall, Bagel Nosh of Livingston has easily become my go-to spot for a quick breakfast or a leisurely brunch. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by for a bagel and coffee. You won't be disappointed!“

“Everything is baked with love and the owner gives top tier customer service. You can never make a bad choice from Empanadas to Blueberry cake cheesecake, cinnamon rolls, , Tiramasu, apple bread pudding, carrot cake, chocolate chip cookies, the Oreo cheesecake brownie etc. Everything is delectable and divine. Don't delay visit Anthony's today. Yummmmm“

“Great meal and overall time here! Our server was super nice and friendly/helpful he really guided us through the menu and gave some great suggestions. The restaurant itself is super nice and cozy while being spacious, but oh man the food is unreal. We had the meatballs (so big and flavorful and smothered in sauce), the mushroom pizza which was loaded with mushrooms, super flavorful and unique. Also got the vodka pizza which was really great, we got extra vodka sauce on the side so we could really drown it and loved it. My friend got the gluten free and she said it's the first gluten free bread she's had that actually tastes like real bread and loved it.“

“Amazing bagels and super delicious kolaches! My husband and I tried the apple cinnamon and then the sweet cream cheese kolaches for the first time from Lonestar and we're officially fans. Great, friendly service. Lonestar is now our go to bakery!“

“Really impressed! We asked Stuff by SJ to make a custom cake for a pizza-themed birthday party. Working with them (Drew) was super easy and stress free. They were helpful, responsive, well priced and even delivered our cake to the restaurant ahead of the party. Everyone complimented the design and taste of the cake so it was a big hit. I’d definitely go back to them for our next cake.“

“excellent!!! great service, great flavors, their empanadas are so delicious! The place is cozy, clean, with an easy going vibe! the owner is very nice, and is there everytime I've visited, you can tell they pour their heart in their business! thank you! is so hard to find good food and good service in the same stablishement nowadays, keep up the great work!“

“I left a 5 star review but updating to share a few videos. The knafa has more of a savory sweet taste vs. other bakeries that drench it with syrup. Anytime I go, I get the znoot el sit, which is soft on the top and middle, and crispy at the bottom. So good!“

“I love getting my food from here. Their food is fresh and their salad in fresh and everything is prepared fresh. My kids love their bakery and bread from there. They are friendly and we will be going back there. We even brought my husband parents. They loved it there.“

“alhumdulililah! this place is so underrated! the owners smile & energy instantly drew us to his store & we were greeted with a warm welcome & he gave us multiple sweets to try before purchasing. what shocked me is how fresh the baklava was it was amazing! me & my family took some for breakfast after dinner, so excited to try it!!“

“Ordered a birthday cake for my 1 yo's birthday party. Went strictly based on the reviews, and was not disappointed. The party was s'mores theme'd, and we were a little nervous with the recommendation on filling with marshmellow and chocolate ganache, if that would be something everyone would like. Well everyone raved about it. The whole thing was amazing and so were the party themed cookies we ordered. Will definitely be back!Kid-friendliness: Fun cookies on display and different cake bars in glass display“

“Myself, my family and extended family have been getting Cakes, cupcakes, etc. from Grace for many years. Any cake you choose is made fresh, with the very best ingredients, they are so delicious. If you want something sweet and very special, don’t hesitate, call today, you will never be disappointed in anything you choose! P.S. Every member of her staff are knowledgeable, they want to help if you need help with an order. Very helpful and courteous! The best!“

“Incredible talent, delicious cookies, and fantastic customer service!! I purchased cookies as a favor for my sister's baby shower and they were even better than I could have imagined! Thank you Grippy's for the perfect finishing touch to my sister's special day! Will for sure be a returning customer!!“

“I am so glad we stumbled upon this amazingly delicious bakery! I ordered the Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache and OMG, one of the best slices of chocolate cake I have ever had. The cake was moisture, not too sweet and super rich! Oh, and cant forget about the Iced Americano (which was a great balance with the cake) and the owner/staff were absolutely amazing and made us feel so comfortable during our experience. We came from Norther East Jersey but this place was well worth the drive and we will be visiting again soon!!“

“My new favorite place! I got their berries and cream cake a few weeks ago and was so impressed. It’s perfectly balanced - not too sweet which is perfect for my palate. I stopped in again today and all the items I got were amazing!!Everyone should definitely try out this place. Excellent customer service! Great experience all around. I highly recommend!“

“I can't be more impressed with the owner herself ie Christina and her beautiful creation of a yacht cake that she made for me at the very last moment. The cake was perfect and it was melting in the mouth and really yum. I will surely return for any future orders.“

“My 1st time here as I heard about it from my sister in North Carolina so when I drive by I had to stop in. I was greeted by a very friendly young lady who was so knowledgeable in all the different flavors and as a novice myself she helped me to decide on the pumpkin spice ( limited edition) and the strawberry bundle cake! They were very good ,and just enough for one person. I don't like very sweet icing so I didn't eat much of the icing but the cakes were delicious ? will definitely go back again“

“Happy Holidays and THANK YOU!! No time to bake this year. I stopped buy and bought a pound cake and cookies..WOW!! taste and quality is no different then home baked.. No need to bake ever again! I can't stop eating them.. rugelach and pecan balls are addictive!“

“I ordered a Peter Rabbit cake (last minute) and they were able to accommodate the request - it was such a beautiful cake, but more importantly, the most delicious cake! Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam. Every single person at the party said it was the best cake they’d ever had! Thank you so much for the best cake!“

“Never had anything less than a delicious experience. The bagels are always fresh, the filings are perfect - white fish, pork roll egg and cheese, chicken salad… really the best bagel joint in the area. Quick, efficient service in a classic storied bagel house. Simply the best.“

“Hidden gem...Hole in the wall. The Iraqi Kababs are mind blowing and the Dolma are a must try for vegetarians. The smoked yogurt drink washes it down perfectly but it might be an acquired taste for some. The eggplant salad is extremely flavorful and a great way to start the meal. For those looking to try something different I highly suggest AlMazaq!“

“Vegetarian options: Lots of options for vegetariansDietary restrictions: I have recently turned vegan and I saw some next level vegan options on the menu. That Vegan shawarma is my current favorite.Parking: It is street paid parkingKid-friendliness: The place is quite kids friendly. My kids loved the pancakesWheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible“

“***4 1/2 stars**I'm not sure how crazy I am about this place being a few blocks from where I live, but I suppose that's not Mo & Jay's fault. I've been aware of this bakery/pastry establishment for a few years (I think it showed up in this relatively new apartment building on Main Street two or three years ago), but hadn't actually thought to go inside until yesterday morning. I was entrusted with obtaining a dessert for a weekend BBQ, and it occurred to me that this was at least the easiest spot to quickly grab something. The fact that the desserts were extremely good ended up being a pleasant accident/bonus.I brought one of my top tier chums to assist with the purchase. From very brief research, it seemed like the eclairs were the big selling point here. I thought it would also be a little wily on my part to get them because I tend to not enjoy eating food that has stuff in it, and figured I'd be unlikely to do anything too naughty with that. That turned out not to be accurate, but I digress. We got the five for $25 éclair deal, and procured a raspberry, a lemon meringue, a nutella, a pistachio and a cookies & cream. Just as we were about to wrap up, I also impulsively grabbed a cheddar/bacon scone, which was humongous and understandably caught my eye.The eclairs were definitely a hit. My personal favorite was the cookies & cream. The flavor was incredibly on point, and it was almost like a meta ice cream experience. The only issue with that one specifically was that the cream inside was runnier than the other pastries, which made it a little messy. Not a huge deal. The runner-up was probably the raspberry for me. Again, extremely flavorful, almost to a fault - it was overwhelmingly tart, which is obviously kind of a calling card for raspberries but if you're not into that, I'd stay away. The nutella was actually a little on the bland side for me but not bad. The lemon meringue was a big hit for everyone else, but I'm not a huge fan of that flavor to begin with - I don't think that's a mark against this place by any means. In hindsight, we probably wouldn't have gotten the pistachio, but none of us are hardcore pistachio fans. The cream consistency and dough for all of these was very high quality, and understandably a lot of this is going to come down to how you feel about specific flavors.In a final twist later on, I sampled the scone around dinner time and was very pleasantly surprised - the scone was very moist and tasty, and was reminiscent of a Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit, though probably at least twice the size and with actual pieces of bacon in it. Very strong recommend on that front.The service was very good. We had a pleasant female cashier assisting us as my chum was literally squatting on the ground eagerly peering into the display case squealing out flavors to get. Zero issues there, and we were in and out within a few minutes uneventfully. There were also a lot of cakes and other types of pastries, so I expect I'll be returning shortly to obtain their assistance with another BBQ.“

“Cozy spot. Fantastic empanadas. Top tier in Passaic.Parking: Park on the wrong side, and meter ops will spin the block with the quickness. Parking on the side of the business is almost always occupied, so it's best that whatever you do is quick. If parking was better, that business would sell more.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a large step at the door.“

“I live walking distance from Bekka’s. When she first opened we had some jerk chicken and oxtail. It was okay but not great. However, this morning I had the ackee and salt fish with banana and yam, and it’s the best I ever had. I grew up in East Orange and have been to various Caribbean restaurants and this was the best Jamaican breakfast ever!“

“I ordered a custom cake from Lyndhurst Pastry Shop and it was perfect! They walked me through everything over the phone. They went above and beyond by adding flowers to the cake, just beautifully decorated. So delicious, too. The person on the phone was lovely, and the customer service in store when I went to pickup was amazing as well! Just super<3“

“I stopped in shortly before closing and picked out the Chantilly cake from the case. It was one of the best cakes I've had in years! Their icing is not sickly sweet like some other bakeries in the area, and the filling was amazing! I also brought home some crumb cake, which was delicious. The cake part was very moist. So many places over-emphasize the crumb and have a dry bland cake, but Rispolli's has great crumb AND delicious cake. The next day it was still moist and tasted just as fresh as the day before. I'll definitely be back!“

“Great hidden cookie spot. Better than any of those chain cookie places like Insomnia, or anything like that. Staff is very friendly and it’s a great local business to support. Typically I’m a chocolate chip guy, but the Oreo ones are fantastic.“

“I came here for a Too Good To Go pickup. My surprise box contained 3 MASSIVE cream puffs! Beautiful presentation and fully filled, there are no air pockets in these cream puffs ?!Taste is amazing, the cream inside is rich and the pastry itself is light — makes for a brilliant combination. My husband and I shared one of them and it was enough to keep us full for a nice breakfast treat.I will definitely come back here for any baked goods. You can tell the food is made with love.Parking: Lots of spots in front of and to the side of the building“

“I don't usually write reviews but I have to say this place was great. We had the lunch special and the portion was way too big for me to finish. We also had coffee & pastry for dessert which was so pleasant, brought me back home. Overall very satisfied with the experience and service. The owners were very attentive. It was a pleasure, and def be back.“

“Tried this place after searching for some of the best croissants. You can walk down church with your eyes closed and the smell will guide you right inside. The gentleman who greeted us was super friendly and welcoming. We got a couple plain croissants and an almond croissant just because it looked delicious. We got to work on the almond croissant the minute we walked out of the door. I've never been to France but I can't imagine almond croissants getting much better than this. Wonderful texture and a delicious flavor. The plain croissants were also on point. That almond one was the star though. I'll be back for more of those and definitely to try some other goodies. The bread looked amazing as well. Go! ENJOY!!!“

“I truly beautiful, hidden gem that I stumbled upon and Rutherford, just looking for coffee! I was pleasantly surprised to discover this place had incredible pastries, and an even more incredible decor. It’s covered in plants and fresh flowers everywhere honestly, a dream!And the pastries DID NOT DISSAPOINT! wow incredible cake slices , cookies and more . Plus great coffee !“

“Harvest House Bakery is family owned and operated, which truly makes such a difference in the quality of goods produced. Time and care is taken to the highest level. They are always willing to go above and beyond with extra touches and go the extra mile! Service aside, everything delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Family owned that churn out the best pastries I can find. Fresh bread daily with all other sorts of cakes and goodies. Every time I come here I'm never disappointed. It's just finding a place like this where I live now being the bigger challenge. Been coming here with the family for the better part of a decade. It's Polish run. Right next to Piast (polish meat store) for your other needs. Like any bakery.. hours are a bit off and closed on Monday but well worth the hassle.“

“Lovely Bakery Cafe with a classic, relaxed ambience and old world charm. Came late afternoon on Presidents Day and there were lots of customers but also plentiful seats available. The croissant lived up to its reputation! It was large, crumbly and flaky on the outside and very affordably priced. Cashier was very friendly too! She offered to heat up our croissant and brought it out to us on a plate. This place is definitely worth a visit!“

“Normally I order delivery at my work and everything is very delicious, today I went with my family and everyone loved the food, everything delicious and in very good quantity, the service spectacular, very attentive. It was worth going from afar to eat there!“

“2/6/2023. Had a taste for a patty and coco bread and this was the closest place to me and there was good reviews. I got a chicken patty because it wasn't spicy and it was $3.00 the coco bread was $1.00. The beard to the patty was nice and flacky but wasn't falling all over the place it had a decent amount of filling and the coco bread had a nice fresh taste to it, the only issue I have was I tasted more of the coco bread and the outside of the patty more than I tasted the filling of the patty there wasn't much flavor to it.“

“This has been on our radar for a while, and we were not disappointed. Went on a Saturday afternoon and it was very busy; it was suggested to make a reservation if we come on the weekend in the future. The waitress seemed a little brusque at first, but was kind when we told her we had never been there before and helped us make our drink choices. The food was brought out one dish at a time, which was a little frustrating because mine came last and I was sitting there filling up on the free bread while the rest of my party ate. The food, however, was worth it. Between the three of us, we got the megruli, the lamb in tarragon and plum sauce, and the mushrooms and cheese in a clay pot. Everything was delicious! All of the food tasted fresh and the sulguni cheese was amazing. We plan to go back to try the dumplings, the assorted pickles, and a cheese boat.“

“Ordered a gorgeous 2 tiered cake for my daughters 3rd birthday (Under the THREE themed) and Bella vida did not disappoint! Not only was the cake aesthetically appealing, but it was delicious! Very light and moist, the cannoli filling was to die for, and the dulce de leche filling was fantastic! Extremely flavorful and the details were intricate and you can tell there is a real passion for baking! EVERYONE was raving about the cake and asking where I got it from. Simply delicious!! We will absolutely be ordering our cakes from here from now on, I won't go anywhere else!!“

“The rugelach were EXCELLENT. Even now, days later, I am thinking about ways to get my husband to take us back there for some more sweets (he hasn’t had one yet, and if he did… well, you guessed it, we would be there as I type this). Kevin, the owner, was such a welcoming soul, and the moment my mother and I walked through the door, we were greeted with a smile and a warm ambiance. I used to work in a couple of bakeries, and these were the best rugelach I have had; the proportions of walnuts to raisins, cinnamon, and dough were on point. I have been recommending this place to all my friends and hope to come back for any and all reasons, just to have one more bite.“

“I saw an ad for this place from behind a ShopRite receipt. I decided to go and try their cheesesteak and chicken parm (with vodka sauce) sandwiches. Both sandwiches were very good. Nice soft bread. Fairly reasonable prices. I just wish they have extended hours. I can't wait to try their breakfast and coffee next time....“
