They were insanely fresh, perfectly ripe, and dipped in silky, high quality chocolate that had that clean snap and melt that only true chocolatiers get right. You could taste the craftsmanship. The staff made the experience even better. Warm, patient, and genuinely welcoming even during the holiday rush. No attitude, no chaos, just great service and positive energy. It is a little tricky to find if you are not familiar with the area, but once you walk in, you immediately get those chocolate boutique vibes. Elegant displays, rich aromas, and that cozy, upscale feel that makes you want to try one of everything. Overpriced or not, it felt like a treat worth indulging in. Definitely worth the trip.

One of my favorite things about this place is that they offer a basket made of chocolate. So after you eat everything in the basket, you can eat the chocolate basket. The service here is excellent. Whenever I call to place an order, I never have an issue. I have been in the store once and it smells great, looks clean and there's a lot of chocolates to see. I also saw that they do birthday parties and i think classes. Overall, this place is very cool. It's a good spot to bring kids, a great place to order a gift for someone, and well just overall delicious with a great variety of chocolates and gifts like stuffed animals.

I ordered the coconut almond kid size cup since I was already full from my dinner. I can't wait to come back here to try more of their ice cream. I love ice cream, I am huge fan of ice cream especially in the warmer months. The service was amazing, we did step into the business pretty close to closing time and the staff allowed us to sit down and have our ice cream while they cleaned up and were getting ready to close the business for the day. The ambiance is chill. There were also other customers buying ice cream at the same time as us. This ice cream shop has a homey and family oriented vibe. 10/10 Ice Cream Shop recommendation

My initial thought was that there were not many German style pastries/food like I imagined there might be (cannolis were the 1st item I saw when entering). I chose a blueberry scone to share (the price was steep at $4.50 - it would have been $1 more if I would have paid with a credit card). I the scone was slightly burnt underneath and lacked any real flavor, even the blueberries oddly had almost no flavor. I was excited to visit a German bakery but was left a little underwhelmed.

I ordered a hard shell birthday cake cone and my girlfriend got a cookies & cream shake. The hard shell tasted pretty good but the ice cream inside was already melting when it was given to me. It made for a very messy time and I couldn't enjoy it the way I should have. My girlfriend's shake was ok but the oreo pieces were way too big. The shake was more like a McFlurry or Blizzard rather than a shake. It still tasted great, but if you order a shake you should get a shake. A friend ordered fried Oreos and they were fantastic. I'd definitely get these again. My brother told me their fried Nutter Butters are even better. Service was average as were the prices. My experience wasn't bad enough to completely turn me away, but next time I'll have to try some other things on their menu.

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.
