What a gem Jackie's Sweets is! The name is perfectly fitting, not just for the yummy pastries and…read morecakes, but for the delightful staff as well. This was my second visit, and once again, everyone was incredibly patient and nice. The atmosphere is bright yet cozy, they have plenty of books and a lot of room to catch up with friends or settle in for some work. This time around, we tried the Coco Cloud Matcha. If you enjoy fun and funky beverages, this is a must; it's a blend of coconut water and matcha that somehow tastes sweet and milky while remaining both rich and refreshing. I'm not sure how they pull it off, but I'm obsessed! If you prefer a more traditional option, the Strawberry Matcha is a decadent choice, I love that you can actually taste the fresh strawberry compote. We also had the Tres Leches Coffee, which featured a perfect balance of creaminess and bold espresso notes. We ordered it hot this time, and while I personally find it ideal iced, it's wonderful that it works so well both ways. For treats, we chose the Dulce de Leche cake. While the sponge wasn't quite as moist as I expected, the overall flavor was superb, especially with the addition of the meringue. To balance the sweetness with something salty, we added a savory spinach and feta pastry. Definitely ask for it to be heated for the best experience!Not pictured, but equally noteworthy, were the empanadas. They offer both beef and chicken, served with a delicious green cilantro sauce. Whether you need a quick caffeine stop or a productive place to get some work done, Jackie's Sweets is the place to be!

They are a fresh bakery, putting out all sorts of fresh breads, rolls, and homemade empanadas. I had come to Dunellen Bakery before, but years ago. It's family owned and the staff are bilingual Spanish and English! They are not just a bakery but can also make sandwiches: egg, deli, etc... I'll be back, tomorrow!

Highly recommended but salty so drink plenty of fluids. Will be back again to try other food items!

My go to: bacon, egg and cheese on a jalapeño cheddar bagel -- SPK (salt, pepper, ketchup). The space inside is super tiny inside, but everyone working there works hard to get people in and out quickly -- plus the teeny-tiny inside adds to the cozy, nostalgic, small business feel. Several tables with chairs and umbrellas to sit and enjoy when the weather is nice. DB also has lots of other delicious deli/lunch items (haven't tried many yet bc I'm always craving my regular order) and some sweeter breakfast treats. Fridge full of different flavored homemade cream cheese & other breakfast essentials -- orange juice jugs, grab and go drinks & counter coffee. Bonus points for no longer being a cash only business!!
