I was looking forward to trying some local empanada spots and found Argentina Bakery on ubereats…read more Since Ubereats was offering a 40% off promotion for pick up orders, I decided to give this bakery a try. Don't judge my gluttony but I wanted to sample a variety of items. I got five empanadas: Beef, corn, spinach, cheese empanadas and the Swiss chard tart. I also got three desserts: tres leches cake, a peach balcarce and the dulce de leche mil hojas cake. I liked the empanadas but wish there was more stuffing inside. The bread ratio was a little too high for me but still tasty and I liked the slice of hard boiled egg inside for great inside texture. The desserts were very good. I liked the contrast with the cakes, toppings and fruit. There is a little no parking area in front of the shop that you may be able to park for a quick pick up but also saw a lot of metered parking. Pricing was very reasonable. It was a good experience.

I ordered the cake with Dulce de Leche filling and it was very fresh and moist. Everyone absolutely loved it. I will definitely be ordering more from Baked Meringue Bakery in the future.

This shop is super cute, and the owner is so sweet and knowledgeable. I have already ordered two cakes from her and the family has loved it both times. Her cakes are nice and moist, better than the other places I have gone to. I also feel that she is priced really reasonable compared to other places in the area. This place is a must try!

In 1983, I arrived in New Jersey to begin my professional football journey with the New York…read moreGiants. As a young kid from Louisiana, one of the first things I missed was the culture, flavor, and sweet treats that reminded me of home in New Orleans. Back then, my teammates used to tease me relentlessly about being the "fat rookie from Louisiana" because I was always chasing pralines, cookies, pastries, and every sugary delight imaginable. Not long after arriving, I stumbled upon a hidden gem that instantly made me feel at home -- Lyndhurst Pastry Shop. This led me to "SACKING" tons of NFC QB's over the years. From day one, Paulette, Jerry, her father, and the entire staff have treated me like family. Decades later, they are still absolutely knocking it out of the park. Whether it's their incredible Italian ice, authentic cannoli, specialty cookies, or my personal weakness -- their unbelievable apple rings -- this place never disappoints. Truth be told, I can't stop there without bringing one home for my wife. Some places serve food. Others serve memories, tradition, and comfort. Lyndhurst Pastry Shop has done that for me for over 40 years. A true North Jersey institution. Five stars isn't enough -- if I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Leonard A.

The Lyndhurst Pastry Shop located on Ridge Road is an iconic must visit during the holiday season…read more There quality pastry, cookie, pie, bread, and cakes are without peer and their staff is always professional and top rate. I ordered the Christmas Honey balls ($19.95) and the Fudge Layer Cake ($29.50) and while I disagree with the credit card fee being passed to the consumer, the quality of the product exceeds that cost. Inside the venue is a true classic bakery atmosphere and while there is usually a line, the service is brisk and moves fairly quickly. If you want to impress your holiday season guests, family or friends, the LPS is the right venue for traditional Italian baked goods and desserts! As i return to NJ for the holidays, I will make at least three or four stops at LPS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I am born and raised in Wood Ridge and Mills Bakery has been a part of every sorrow and celebration…read morein our lives. I recently ordered a birthday cake and I wanted It to be as dye free as possible. White writing, roses and only one layer of chocolate in the middle the other was buttercream. The bottom I asked for a ring of rainbow sprinkles. When I got the cake I was amazed at how pretty It was!!! You could easily read the writing and the taste was incredible. The cake was fresh and was absolutely delicious. I will always recommend Mills. They have never let us down. I highly recommended the dye free look. The photo doesn't do It justice.

Five of us went to have a piece of cake it was for a 50th Birthday and we couldn't even swallow it. The outside whipped cream tasted like a cleaning chemical. I took the cake back the next day to tell them what we experienced and the manager said that if she gave another cake then she would be losing money. I left and went to their other store where I finally spoke with the owner and he ended up refunding part of it and he also mentioned that I could keep the cake as well. REALLY?? Do you think I want to keep a cake that tastes like chemicals. Well now they've lost a customer. IT'S ONE THING IF YOU DON'T LIKE A CAKE BUT IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT BALL GAME WHEN IT TASTES LIKE CHEMICALS.

Still thinking about that cinnamon roll... I loved the tangy, tart cream cheese icing as opposed to…read moresugary icing. But all the sweet treats sounded so delightful it's hard to just pick one! There's some indoor seating at the bar but most people take out or eat on the outdoor tables. It can get busy but the line moves fast, as there are locals who know exactly what they want. The menu only shows drinks so definitely ask what desserts and pastries they have available.

I've heard so many great things about Erie and finally got to try it! We stopped in after having…read morebrunch nearby. There was a short line but it was moving along quickly. The shop is small with limited places to hang out -- there's a small counter where you can stand and sip your coffee. Otherwise, they have a few small tables outside. There's a second room which has cute merch and a fridge with additional cold beverages for sale. I tried the vanilla latte and took home some treats! The spinach handpie - basically a spinach/cheese breakfast pastry, the cinnamon roll (to die for!! It was fluffy and sweet but not overly sweet like other places are), and a pumpkin cheesecake bar with pomegranate seeds. What I really like about Erie is that they make all these delicious treats and once they are sold out, they're sold out. They don't make more for the rest of the day and they don't waste food. It's always fresh!

foodie_starry After…read moreyears of dashing to NYC for delicate desserts, I've found a local treasure right here in Jersey City that's totally Insta-worthy! Z² Bakery, 16 Meadowlands Parkway, Secaucus, NJ 07094. Their 4-inch Matcha Cake was a showstopper at first sight--more beautiful than the pictures! Layers upon layers of soft cake, matcha powder, strawberry jam, crushed Oreos, and matcha cream. Don't let the size fool you; it's tall enough for four to enjoy comfortably. Perfectly sweet, fresh, and just fabulous for a Christmas gathering with its festive colors! And for the pork floss lovers? Their Scallion, Ham, and Seaweed Pork Floss Squares was another delightful discovery. Unlike any other, it features a thicker, super fluffy cake base topped with balanced bits of seaweed, sauce, and ham--utterly moreish and not a bit greasy compared to typical pork floss buns. Z² Bakery is now my go-to for birthdays and get-togethers in NJ--no more trips to NYC necessary! They have a variety of gorgeous cakes that taste as good as they look. Remember to preorder your favorites; they do deliveries and are also available on Hungry Panda delivery service.

It definitely passes the taste test - sweet, milky, and other wonderful descriptors that I'm too small brained to verbalize. After the first bite, I instantly wish I had ordered at least 2 slices. The store is small and is mainly to-go only. They have a small, standing side counter that can fit up to 2 people if you want to eat yours in-store. Lots of other flavors to pick from, but since I was only picking one I had to go with the original. Service is friendly and fast! They're really not playing around when they say on their website "creation of the best tres leches cake in new york city". I haven't had any other tres leches in the city but I believe it.
