18 Best Bakeries near Central Valley

“Was a hot day out and decided to try out their raspberry iced lemonade, pretty good actually with the sweet and sour mixed. You can make it blended too if you want. Their menu has more than 15 different iced and blended drinks including oreo and strawberry chillatlas, their cinnabon signature items. Thanks to Tony for helping me out.“

“I love to enjoy the lady M cake in the Woodbury shopping mall after all the walking from shopping. Normally you cannot get Lady M unless you go to New York City. It’s such a nice surprise to see it in the Woodbury shopping mall. There are a lot of choices of cakes. I love the original, pistachio, mocha, and Earl Grey Tea favors.“

“Enthusiastic Dubai chocolate,
Monroe’s Choco Cheese is an absolute gem. From the moment I walked in, I felt like a VIP.
Their dessert option is next level—rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with bold chocolate notes.
The cheese selection pairs incredibly with their smooth, decadent chocolate sauces.
Service is warm and attentive; staff remembers regulars.
Value is solid for the quality; you get generous portions without breaking the bank.
I’ll be recommending Choco Cheese to everyone in Monroe and I’ll be back soon.“

“Every time I visit the farm is always a pleasant experience. Today I got a lobster roll and pesto pasta it was delicious. I have gotten their carrot cake, apple cider donuts , apple crisp and cookies that I would highly recommend trying . It is a small farm comparing to other farms i visited but for a quick bite and a quick stroll this is it . They also have a small gift store upstairs that I have bought gift from during the holidays .“

“I ordered my birthday cake from LaLima's bakery. Randi was such a great listener and never once complained about my many specifics for the cake either. It was absolute perfection, from the way it looked to the way it tasted! I HIGHLY recommend this bakery. They listen to their customers needs and deliver with complete satisfaction, too!! What more could you ask?“

“The cake lady is a cake boss! What a delight of a person. Everyone there was lovely. This place smells incredible as soon as you open the doors, and oh how hard it is to pick anything from the display. Everything looked amazing. I ended up getting apple pie, carrot cake and orange creamsicle (pie or cheesecake). My family loved it, and everything was delicious, especially the carrot cake. Cannot wait to go back.“

“Imagine it is a few days before a wedding and the person making your cake has to back out due to a health emergency…We cold-called Porges and they were able to make two cakes for us. No prior tastings and sight unseen until the venue placed them on display. They were both beautiful and delicious!!!! Highly recommend!“

“I was given a box of their matzoh. I dislike American brands like Streit's and Manischewitz. The only brand I buy in the store is Yehuda; I prefer Israeli style matzoh. I've had handmade matzoh before and it tasted terrible! I cannot believe how delicious this matzoh is. I live 40 miles away, so it's not convenient, but I want more. Think about mail or internet orders. Your matzoh is perfect.“

“😀Village Hands Café is hands down my favorite spot in Monroe! ☕🥐 The coffee is always perfect, the pastries are fresh, and the atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you feel at home the moment you walk in. 💛 Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, great people, and real community vibes! 🌿“

“Excellent goodies. Sugar free and Gluten Free home baked deliciousness!“

“Mountain View Deli Pomona, Ny
Normally we don't post anything out of the 518 but we were out and about plowing snow in NYC and we stopped at Mountain View Deli. 🥪 🍪

We meet the owner Mike and he was very friendly and his hospitality was great. The cashier was very welcoming and made our experience worth it! The subs were really good and it's definitely one of the nicest deli's I've been to. They have a huge selection of homemade baked goods from Italian cookies, cheesecake, cakes and much more. The deli was super clean and my favorite part is they decorated the place for Christmas. Almost felt like home☃️ Thank you for the great service and I cannot wait to come back!
