I had no problem finding parking. They had a few people ordering at the front, and a few people eating in the back. I perused the available cake (and pie) slices and other smaller baked goods, but did not see the Blackout Cake Slice! When I asked the staff, they regretfully informed me that they did not have slices that day, so I went with the next best option... an 8" cake! I didn't get any writing on the cake, as I already had a Happy Birthday candle, and I didn't want to add extra icing to the cake. I liked how well they package the cake. The box was large enough, and they line the bag with a thin piece of cardboard to stabilize the box. I'm not a big sweets person, but I enjoyed the chocolate-y richness of the cake. The cake itself was moist and the pudding held everything together well. I would be back to try their Strawberry Shortcake and other desserts.

Radio Bakery... is perfection. I completely understand the line…read more I first ordered the heirloom tomato & feta sandwich, which was unbelievable. It is so clear that they use incredibly high-quality ingredients and carefully curate each component, which is exactly why everything comes together in such an elevated way. The tomatoes reminded me of the ones I grew in my garden during California summers as a teenager. Perfectly salted, layered over soft, not-too-tart feta. The focaccia was made with beautiful olive oil and, while a bit chewier than I usually prefer, gave the sandwich a satisfying bite. I had to close my eyes while eating it just to savor it. The chocolate cherry almond croissant... wow. Such a creative combination, and it did not disappoint. Soft, buttery, and filled with a sour cherry compote that reminded me of a cherry cordial from a box of chocolates. 5/5. Hainsley, who helped me, was exceptionally lovely. Everyone even in line was very nice, the vibes were awesome. I'll definitely be back to try the spicy tofu sandwich and the heirloom tomato tart!

While they didn't have their full selection available, there were still plenty of pastries to choose from. We ended up getting the vanilla kouign amann and the chocolate PB&J croissant. The kouign amann was flaky, buttery, and beautifully caramelized. The chocolate PB&J croissant was easily our favorite. It was filled with rich, decadent chocolate and a layer of jelly that balanced everything out without making it overly sweet. My significant other hasn't stopped talking about it since! We're already looking forward to coming back to try more.

I love bread, and I can't imagine my lunch without having at least some of it. So it is really important for me that the bread has a good quality and is tasty. At this place, they got solid variety of really good bread. It is very tasty, and it is always freshly baked. They also got plenty of delicious things for the desert. I love to have their croissants with a cup of coffee in the mornings. It is a very decent bakery, and I am pretty confident in giving them 5 stars. read more

New selections of muffins and donuts The staff were helpful but I felt like it was tedious to ask for the price of each item. The cakes are usually ranging from $26 and up. DO NOT GET THE CUPCAKES, it taste like the supermarket cupcakes from stop and shop, walmart, or shop rite. It tastes like hint of cleaning supply, fake sweetness gritty textured icing. Try the cannoli, though the casing doesnt look like it's homemade. Apparently their filling is and they fill it per order which helps retain the crunch of the casing. We have tried a few cakes: strawberry shorcake, oreo cake, and chocolate mousse cake which is not bad for its price.
