It's always clean, always stocked, and the customer service (the Asian guy especially) is always so nice and kind. I haven't had anything bad here.

It really shouldn't be different because it's 3:30 pm on a Thursday, just approaching tea time. Firstly, the selection was extremely limited - out of most things, secondly the trays were all out and the old ones had piled up, and lastly the flor was fiiilthy. There were three employees in the store. Under new management? No inventory? Disinterest amongst the employees? Unsure. While the food was slightly stale, but still tasty enough, the experience we had come to enjoy was sub par.

I've been wanting to try The Baked Bear for a while, and finally had the chance to last night! I…read moreordered a chocolate chip cookie and a scoop of their old fashioned vanilla ice cream. The cookie itself is thin and smaller than I'd like, but I understand that's probably because they also use them for the ice cookie sandwiches. The chocolate chips in the chocolate chip cookie are sweeter, I'm assuming milk chocolate, but I liked the texture of the cookie. It was what I'd call a "boneless cookie". I normally like soft cookies with a slight crust around the edges, and these didn't have that. But I still liked the cookie! It's soft and chewy, still soft the next day. After buying the cookie, I tried a sample of the old fashioned vanilla ice cream, and I was surprised by how much I liked it. The consistency was smooth and creamy and the vanilla flavor was really good. Normally I don't care for old fashioned vanilla because I prefer vanilla bean, but most places don't offer vanilla bean so I end up settling for French vanilla or old fashioned vanilla instead. This time though, it didn't feel like I was settling. I ended up ordering a small cup of the ice cream and the serving size was pretty generous. They also give you a physical punch card for rewards each visit, and you can enter your phone number at the counter, I'm not sure if you can also earn points through your phone number. It's bright and airy in there, even walking in after 10pm. The two ladies helping us were both very nice, one of them offered to give us a sample of ice cream when she heard us talking about trying it. I'll definitely be back, whether it's for the chocolate chip cookie or the vanilla ice cream!

While in my recent pursuit of finding interesting eateries in NB area, stumbled upon this small beauty of a cookie place. They have quite a variety of cookies and cater a combo of cookies and ice cream sandwiches that are not too costly. The gentleman at the counter was as warm as the cookies he served and we got ourselves a strawberry cheesecake cookie and couple of mixed ice creams. Roadside Parking might be little tight in the evening hours on week days. Also to note this is not a usual 9 AM opening shop. They open only at 3 PM and open until midnight on all days of the week.

They also have lots of cakes that are themed. There's also a bench to sit on and a Free Parking lot that's open and has all the other stores in the area.

A Sweet Surprise in Dunellen!…read more After living in the area for over 20 years, I finally stopped by this local ice cream shop--and I'm honestly blown away. I've visited twice now and each time has been better than the last. The shop is under new ownership, and Mike (the new owner) is awesome. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly passionate about making this place special. You can feel the good vibes as soon as you walk in. I've never really been into Italian ice, but this place completely changed my mind. The flavors are bold and refreshing--Cappuccino and Mudslide are my personal favorites. Rich, smooth, and packed with flavor. And here's the cherry on top: they welcome your furry friends and even offer a complimentary pup cup to go. Both my dogs were very happy--and let's be honest, that made me even happier. I was too busy enjoying the Italian ice to snap a photo of it (it was that good), but I did grab a pic of the pup cups--because happy dogs deserve the spotlight too! If you're in or around Dunellen, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Great treats, great people, and a super welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

We used Nothing Bundt Cakes for my daughter's baby shower, and they truly went above and beyond…read more From the moment we walked into the shop -- which is quaint, very clean, and beautifully arranged -- we felt confident in our decision. Everything looked so inviting and well-presented. We wanted the bundtlets to serve as shower favors, and the entire experience was exceptional. The owner worked closely with us to choose the perfect flavors and coordinate a beautiful color contrast for the double-tier bundlets -- making sure they looked just as stunning as they tasted. Each bundlet was individually packaged, beautifully gift-wrapped in clear cellophane, and tied with a pink ribbon of our choosing. The final touch was a sentiment flag that read "Thank You," making them the perfect keepsake and gesture of appreciation for our guests. As it was a large order, the owner's father was gracious enough to personally deliver everything to our home -- a kind and thoughtful gesture that made the experience even more special. The attention to detail, customer service, and overall presentation were flawless. These bundtlets were not only delicious but also a heartfelt highlight of the celebration.

I was working on short notice and feared I wouldn't be able to get one in time but the folks at The Ice Cream House answered me promptly and were happy to help! They checked to see if any of the ingredients they use contain soy and unfortunately the cake did, but we came up with an alternative dessert for the child who is allergic to soy and he was perfectly happy with it! The cake was absolutely delicious and a very generous size especially considering what we paid. All my guests asked where the cake was from and my mother requested I have one made when her birthday comes around. Pick up was quick and easy and the cashier was so friendly, it was like talking to someone I knew. I am so happy with The Ice Cream House and will continue to go to them for my ice cream cake needs!

They also have a pretty extensive topping bar. My go-to is the toasted coconut, which is usually in stock. My only complaint is that at some point they changed the cheesecake bites, which were not as good as the original ones. The atmosphere of this place is pretty fun -- they have cute seating. Sometimes it can be hard to get seating on busy nights, but there's also places to sit outside. One thing I appreciate about this location is that they always honor app promotions and coupons. Solid place for frozen yogurt!

Five stars for the croissants! The baguette was freshly baked but a disappointment. It was too soft and didn't have the crunchy crust that a baguette must have. The woman at the counter was very frustrating to interact with. "I would like a baguette please." She gives a blank look. "A what?" "A baguette." "Like a pastry?" "No, like a long loaf of bread." "I don't know if we sell that. Wait here." She goes in the back and returns. "It's baking right now." "Ok. I'll wait, and I'd like chocolate croissant with a cup of coffee please while I wait." Then she puts two plain croissants in a bag and rings them up. Makes no move to pour coffee.
