Whoever said that "ice cream" was a Summer thing probably never had one!…read more After a long search for an open location last weekend at the Jersey shore, we were thrilled to find Courtney's. Not only we found an open shop on that dreary and rainy Saturday, but a wonderful place to hang out with friends. As we entered, we were warmly greeted by Courtney herself and her faithful "helper" Sunshine . The shop had a very cozy feeling with beautiful "beach life" decor but also a very welcoming Christmas scenery . Courtney's had a great menu variety, including favorites like a hot fudge sundae with a perfectly crisp and warm brownie and the classic banana split. Their milkshakes are a must-try. But if you are there for the vibe and to meet with friends, make sure to knock out some Christmas shopping with Courtney's funky candles as gifts or bring a pie home, so you don't show up empty-handed to your next holiday party .

I ordered ten dozen cupcakes to share at the Garden State Film Festival for my friend's birthday! They even "reserved " one dozen especially for us to enjoy together later with sprinkles and "Happy Birthday" messages! We made a million friends that day and shared them with the staff at the Berkeley Oceanfront- who were thrilled! The cakes were luscious and moist - and apropos to their name - as sweet and wonderful as you could ever hope a cupcake to be! We got churro, red velvet, chocolate sundae, eclair, chocolate raspberry, sprinkles, coconut and a half dozen other flavors - each more sumptuous than the last! Stop your search now and get these treats for your friends and guests. I promise you'll be very glad you did

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I feel obligated to warn…read moreothers. Yesterday I purchased eight brownies for over $30 from this bakery for a birthday celebration at work. At that price point, I expected something fresh, rich, and worthy of being brought to a group. What I got instead were stale, dry brownies that tasted like they had been sitting out for days. It was honestly embarrassing to serve them. They were noticeably old and completely underwhelming, especially for a bakery that positions itself as a premium spot. If you're charging luxury prices, the product needs to match. Freshness should be the absolute bare minimum, and unfortunately, that wasn't even close here. I won't be returning, and I definitely wouldn't recommend this place for anything you're bringing to an event.

The various types of biscotti we purchased as well as the crumble cheesecake were highlights from our selections. Definitely worth a stop in to see what interests your sweet tooth. The Deets: After dinner in Asbury Park this recent visit, it was decided a visit was needed down to Del Ponte's Bakery along Main St in Bradley Beach. This bakery's huge selection of Italian pastries and sweet treats was almost overwhelming! Multiple display cases of deliciousness awaited us inside the shop, we really took our time to look over all of it before decisions were made. We had basically thought going in that we would nab some fresh biscotti (which of course, we did, in different varieties, all delicious) but also ended up with some other goodies such as crumble cheesecake (so good!), cookies, etc. We feasted well each morning, believe you me. It was on the Friday evening of Labor Day holiday weekend and I think the young staffers there had a long day. We were served well, but from the "Can I help who is next, already?!" for example that was shouted out across the shop full of customers sort of came across as "let's get this done now" but hey, never know what they already had been through that day, right? They gathered up all our choices from case to case when it was our turn and we were pretty pleased with the boxes full of baked goodness as all of it didn't last long. Del Ponte's Bakery is a good stop to make if wanting some sweet treats to take home and enjoy, we are glad we did so.

I had to have gone at least 8 times already and I don't know how I've yet to leave a review. The tea room transforms you to another place with the rotating themes (Harry Potter, Wicked, Witch Black Hat Society, Peter Rabbit to name a few) and refreshing takes on classic teas & baked goods. Tea is never ending and it tastes divine, always freshly brewed at your table upon ordering. Ever tea cup is unique and every theme hosted has a pre-set menu and the staff are always knowledgeable about the tea served and proactive about dietary restrictions or allergies. The owner also comes out during every event to greet and thank her customers. While it is not the cheapest option, is does offer a unique experience. Highly recommend for a friends and family alike. Go support a small local woman owned business!
