It's four years later and now that same fat chocolate chip cookie costs $4 but still tastes like it's 3,573 calories. is it worth it? Yes, yes it is. Just give in to it and indulge yourself. Friends grabbed the chocolate croissant and while it looked good, I'll say I took a little taste and for me, it was just a tad too dry. No worries, next time I'll slather with butter. Shhhhh, don't tell the carb police. read more

Stopped in for something sweet after lunch out. Got a delicious chocolate chip cookie crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. And the chocolate croissant. Service was friendly. Lots of yummy treats to look at. read more

A great little bakery for high quality pastries at very reasonable prices. The service was friendly and welcoming, and everything felt relaxed and easy from the moment we walked in. We brought home and shared a pecan sticky bun and a challah cinnamon roll, each around $7. Both were rich, decadent, and easy to share. They were especially good when slightly warmed, which really brought out the flavor and texture. This is a nice spot to stop in for a treat, whether you're grabbing something to go or sitting with coffee. Great pastries, fair pricing, and a really enjoyable experience overall. read more

Dulce Artisanal Pastry - Bakeries Near Me - Collingswood, New Jersey

I think Dulce is a great bakery. Their prices are reasonable, and everything I've ordered has been fantastic over the last 5 years or so since I moved to the area. Unfortunately, over the last year and a half, I've placed and paid for seven orders online through their website, and for three of them, I arrived at Dulce at the pickup time to find that they did not have my order made because they did not get my order. They have always refunded me for these missed orders, and they even gave me a gift card the last time as a kind gesture to try to make it right. I appreciate this, and I understand that things can be missed, but I don't think I can reasonably continue ordering things from here when, about half the time, I don't even get my order. read more

Went in on Thursday AM and pretty disappointed - low selection and the items I picked out (baguette and cookie) were hard/at least day or two old. Kinda can't believe they handed and sold to me, particularly the baguette. Two Stars because have had good experience in the past. read more

Some of their items are excellent. And the staff is very friendly. However, I wasn't it the mood to bake sourdough this past weekend so i stopped in. Despite the posted 'sale' price, i was charged full price. Plus the loaf was small, flat, and dry. So mixed reviews. read more

I bought a loaf of sourdough bread and a lemon raspberry croissant. The croissant was delicious, though $9 was way too pricey. The sourdough bread was tasteless - zero flavor, and it was day old. Believe me, I know bread! This was AWFUL. I asked if I could exchange it because there was no taste whatsoever. The gal manning the store told me, "No we don't do exchanges." I said well you are losing a customer for life. She said, "Sorry!" She could not have cared any less. Believe me the bread was awful. I handed it to her and told her to throw it away because it had no taste and I would never eat it. She just threw it away and did not say a word to me - no apology - NOTHING! No customer service here. I will not return. Don't buy their tasteless bread; it sucks! read more

I ordered from here while visiting from out of town. I got a cinnamon roll and a croissant. Both were frankly bland and kind of stale. Service was quick and unremarkable. The store was clean and presentable. read more

Couldn't wait to try the cinnamon roll and almond croissant but was disappointed in both. The almond croissant was dry and didn't have a lot of paste in it, And the cinnamon roll was hard and lacking frosting and flavor. I couldn't believe it. read more

I have been following Dulce Artisanal Pastry for years now on social media but had yet to venture inside. Either I didn't have time before, wasn't in the area, or was telling myself I didn't need to eat pastries - there was always an excuse I made. Finally, it was the perfect time, a beautiful day, and we were right around the corner. I have had my eyes on their artisanal pop tarts for years, so that was what I was most interested in seeking. We first browsed the window and I saw the pop tarts , along with chocolate croissants. We entered the bakery and were greeted by an employee at the register. I asked about the pop tart flavor and tried to get my bearings, as everything is unique. You know when you go somewhere and feel like they expect you to know exactly what you want? Kind of like Starbucks, where you should be prepared with your order and go quickly? That's the vibe here, even without a single other person in the bakery. I glanced quickly at the case and ordered the almond plum pop tart and a chocolate croissant. My husband ordered the caramel pecan blondie. He tried making a joke with the employee, but it didn't land. Trust me, I get it, he's not that funny, but it felt as if they're annoyed. No smiles. No warmth. Just strictly business, which is odd for a bakery selling such lovely pastries. We didn't eat our pastries until the next morning, so it's our fault they didn't taste fresh, but they didn't wow us. I was hoping there was a reason for the pretentious vibes and they would blow me away with their delicious, one of a kind creations. Sadly, no. I wanted to love my experience so badly after being a social media fan for so long, but it wasn't meant to be. I also RARELY give low reviews, so understand I am NOT a complainer by any stretch. I love everything and give everyone a fair chance. If I'm in the area again I will come back and see if maybe it was just an off day for the staff. If so, I will update my review for sure. read more

My friend and I came across Dulce Artisanal Pastry when walking over to Sabrina's for brunch. The baked goods at the window looked so good, we could not resist stopping to look at every single item. We promised ourselves we would return after brunch to pick up some baked goodies. After brunch, we came back to Dulce and were relieved to find that not everything was sold out. Everything was reasonably priced and big! I picked up 2 croissants and 4 cookies and ate everything within 2 days. I could really use a cookie from Dulce's right now. Next time I'll make sure I get more of everything. read more

My mother loves chocolate mousse and I searched all over for a bakery that had a chocolate mousse cake on their menu. On her birthday, I decided to surprise her with it! I submitted an order for one in advance on their website. When I arrived several days later to pick it up, I was so impressed by how beautiful it looked! Without even asking, they added beautiful touches to really elevate the dessert to something I was so proud to show off to her. Although my mother thought it was good but not the kind of mousse she likes, it was enjoyed by everyone! I felt the price to be very fair. Their shop is very very tiny and is not somewhere you can pull up a seat and eat. Most of the usable space is used by the staff and the kitchen. I will say that the service there is quite cold and unfriendly, but I chalked it up to maybe an off day? While I was there, I picked up two croissants that were very delicious. Because of their lucrative location, parking is very hard to come by so be prepared! But this place seems worth a try for sure! read more

Came here around Christmas time and got a pecan blonde and a beer brownie and both were excellent. I came back yesterday, and it was a little bit lackluster. The blueberry pop tart and chocolate peanut butter cookie were equally delicious, even if the dough is a little dry. I also ordered a pan au chocolate and when I got home, I realized it was a ham and Swiss croissant and couldn't eat it since I'm a vegetarian :( kind of disappointed in that. read more

This place is just amazing! Unlike many shops, the patisseries here are every bit as good as they look, and they look amazing (check out my pics!). My wife had a chocolate chip cookie and raved about it. I had a butter croissant that was really superb. I can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Mmmmmmm.... Two words........chocolate croissants. If you are going to indulge, do it with something well worth the calories. How about a delicious, fresh, flaky, chocolate croissant!?!?

If one is fortunate enough to have an artisanal bakery in their town - mmmmm, don't hesitate. Friendly service, delicious baked goods, conveniently located on Haddon Avenue in Collingswood..... what more can one say grab a coffee grab a pastry enjoy life read more

Got a cinnamon roll from here. Really good buttercream frosting but roll itself was dry and needed more cinnamon.

It was 5 minutes before closing time. Yes not really had choice for sweet but we got blueberry panna cotta and chocolate browny. Usually cake is very sweet side many American bakery like panna cotta usually very sweet coconut pudding but here is not so sweet ( I amazed) blueberry adding sourness to make good balance. But chocolate browny! Usually dry caky chocolate browny we imagine ( that is why not really wanted but no choice to chooses) but omg different ! Taste like flourless chocolate cake! It I was so good!! Who expected chocolate browny turns out Dark chocolate flourless chocolate cake ! read more

Such a lovely place to stop for a delicious pastry. Doesn't really seem like a sit down place - I didn't see any seating but if you're coming in to just grab a delicious treat and walk through the beautiful streets of Collingswood then it's perfect! I got myself the almond croissant and it was huge, airy, flaky and absolutely delicious. It was the perfect treat to hold me over. I loved the flakes of almond and the almond creamy goodness inside. I will definitely be back! My friend got the beer brownie and he loved it as well. It's made with beer and you can taste it! It's not too much tho it's a perfect blend of chocolate and beer - who would of thought those would work well together? Not I! But it does! I can't wait to try more treats here read more

Dulce is a small cafe/bakery in the middle of the Collingswood business district. The pastries and breads are phenomenal!! The baker chef ( not sure if that's a thing lol) is from Puerto Rico so Island flavors make an appearance in lots of pastries. He worked in some of the finest restaurants in Philly before opening the cafe. He is often in the cafe and happy to chat for a few minutes! The Mallorca is a popular item! It's sort of like a roll but is slightly sweet. The chocolate Mallorca was amazing! I had to have the quince pastry too. It was a Danish type pastry with quince filling and a sweet cream cheese topping. The cookies are also yummy! Pick up a loaf of bread too! The cafe has a counter and bakery case in the front with a few small tables in the back. The tables are currently not being used due to Covid. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate and juices are available. read more

Dulce has nut-free, dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan options. I went to Dulce because I saw a review about a Crème Brulee croissant. We had gone on a weekday and they said they don't have that but did have speciality items only on the weekends. We tried the Red Dragon Panna Cotta, Dulce Chocolate Tarte, Pecan Blondie, Chocolate Tiramisu, Sour Semolina Bread and Sourdough Bread. The Red Dragon Panna Cotta was too tart for me but I enjoyed the Chocolate Tiramisu and Sour Semolina bread. The other items were okay but my significant other thought the Pecan Blondie and Dulce Chocolate Tarte were really good. I do wish they labeled the bread displays so you can differentiate more. There is side street parking and Dulce is located in a downtown area of Collingswood, NJ so there is a lot of other stores and restaurants to explore while you're visiting. 3/5. read more

The pecan caramel croissant is not good. I don't really like it. It's too sweet and also not enough pecans. I like that crunchy feel of the pecans. However, the croissant is baked too perfection. I am excited to try out the other items in this place and will update my review later. read more

Dulce Artisanal Pastry - Pecan Caramel Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Collingswood, New Jersey

I first visited this bakery before Christmas while walking downtown. I bought one Pecan Roll and a few cookies. That roll was the best pastry I have ever had! I've been back a few times and had placed an order for 6 pecan rolls to pick up yesterday. My husband finally got to try one and said it was a damn good pastry. He usually says everything is "ok!" Their cookies are very good too. Can't wait to try more! read more

I stumbled upon this gem of a bakery today. When I took a bite of the croissant and several baked goods I was transported to Europe. The freshness, flakiness, and buttery was an experience. read more

I popped into the bakery after visiting the farmer's market this Saturday. I got the peanut butter, chocolate chip and lemon cookie, an almond croissant and sticky bun. I brought them to a friend's house and everyone loved them. They were all fresh, flavorful, not too sweet or greasy like typical bakery items. I was so pleased with my purchase I can't wait to go back and try more. They have a cafe and seating in the back or a counter for quick items in the front. read more

Dulce is a must visit whether you live in town or you are visiting. I can't think of anything I've ever had from here that has been subpar - the croissants (especially chocolate), the chocolate mousse cake, the panna cotta - have all been delicious. You can tell that the owner does not take any shortcuts as everything is fresh and made from scratch. I can't recommend Dulce enough. Please pay them a visit. I assure you, you won't regret it. read more

This modern open kitchen bakery is owned and run by former Stephen Starr pastry chef Josue Santiago Negron. They have a nice selection of artisanal bread, pastries fruit tarts and cookies. There is a small seating area in the back for enjoying locally roasted coffee and the artfully tasty treats crafted by Josue. If your a bread fan, you must get here to try incredible baguettes. They have become a staple in my diet since the bakery opened. Be sure to try the other breads such as sourdough, whole wheat, brioche, beer bread, etc. All great additions for your home made meals. Take advantage of the loyalty program offered via Perka and earn points towards future purchases. A great addition to the area, this bakery fits in nicely and compliments the many other bakeries in the area and fills a niche they don't cover. read more

Great artisanal bakery offering up a wide variety of inventive breads and baked sweets. I recently had the Crème Brûlée Croissant and Beer Brownie. The croissant was fantastic, while the brownie was delicious, but just a tad too rich for my taste. It should be noted that my friend also tried the brownie and thought it was to die for. Needless to say, it wasn't a question of the brownie's quality, but rather personal preference. Bottom line - great baked goods. Highly recommend. read more

My wife loves finding new places for us to get treats from. She found this tiny little bakery in NJ. We decided to grab a few items to try and everything was absolutely spectacular. The pecan caramel croissant was unbelievably delicious we both could not get over how amazing it tasted. Hands down the show stopper here. I really enjoyed the bread pudding but we warmed it up later and put some ice cream with it and it was excellent. Danish dulce de leche was very flaky and crisp. The inside cream was good I just wish there was a bit more of it. We will definitely be stopping back here for sure to try many other items. Fantastic find and stupendous bake goods. read more

We couldn't help but walk in after pickling up some beer at Devil's Creek. Dulce Artisanal has a very friendly staff and pleasant bright white décor. There is limited number of tables/chairs down the long hall. We ordered two Chocolate Chip Cookies to go and of course being the season of pumpkin, some pumpkin spice Madeleine's. The cookies were excellent and highly recommended. The madeleines had a nice flavor but they were a little more crumbly then I am accustomed to. All in all, a really great little place on Haddon Ave. They serve coffee and non sweet baked items also. Looking forward to returning and trying other items. read more

The best in town! The chocolate chip cookies and croissants are fantastic. I've ordered both the carrot and chocolate cake for events and everyone raved. The staff is helpful and takes custom orders.

Since visiting Paris years ago, I've been on the hunt for local bakeries that can satisfy my need for excellent French pastries. Dulce is that place for me. I tell myself that I will only go in for a couple of croissants or a baguette but I lack any self control once I spot the pastries in the display. The macarons are excellent, the croissants melt in your mouth. My favorite seasonal item is the pecan tarte. Early on during the pandemic, they released a Bread Boxes for pre-order. All of the bread was incredible, especially the croissant loaf. We used the rest to make overnight French toast and croutons. Now if they start making profiteroles, it's over for me. read more

I'm a local business owner who sought out high quality artisan bread to use as part of our menu offering. I have been very pleased with working with Dulce. Their baguette is the best around, and we commonly get asked from our guests where we get our bread from. The staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

I seem to find myself in Collingswood early in the week so this small artisanal bakery and cafe had eluded me. That is until a stellar Thursday sushi lunch nearby. I just wanted something small and delectable to cap off that great meal. Walking in around 1:30 it seemed as if a few items were missing in the case, no matter, still a few attractive and unique sounding desserts to chose from. I decided against the cookies and croissants offered, and opted for something I've never encountered, a Kraqueline(sp?) There were two options, lavender or rose, I went with the purplish one. Looks wise it was truly different, kind of like a cream puff but with purple filling and even purple candy pearls. The cream had a distinct floral taste and was just barely sweetened, which I prefer. The pastry part was different than a traditional cream puff, it kind of reminded me of a popover, light and airy but not layers of filo dough. At $4 it did not seem excessive for this town or item, but it just didn't wow me. I might be inclined to try another if filled with dark chocolate cream. But probably not. I'm not writing this place off yet and feel I need to try another dessert or 2 and even their bread. I am a fan of small businesses in general, and specifically ones that try to find their niche with quality and novel food items. This place certainly ticks those boxes. 3.5 further research required Yelps read more

I spent $48 on 24 macrons for Thanksgiving. I'm guessing they ran out of the correct size boxes, because they were packaged haphazardly piled on top of each other and some broke as a result. I assumed a dessert at that price point would be packaged beautifully or at least securely. I'll try another bakery next time. read more

Man could live on bread alone if it was Dulce bread. And they would have gotten five stars in a heartbeat if they had been practicing any type of safety precautions during a pandemic. Having not been here before, we were tempted in by the bread survival box they offer twice a week. You order in advance, and that process was super smooth - although they don't take payment when you order, you pay when you pick up. The bread in the survival box included a baguette, a loaf of sourdough, a loaf of challah bread, and a cinnamon croissant loaf. The bread is fantastic. If there was any complaint, we would have loved even more cinnamon flavor in the cinnamon croissant loaf, but given the fact that half the loaf was eaten in the first night, this is being nit-picky. The biggest issue is that there were two people working when we went in. Neither was wearing a face mask, nor were they wearing gloves. The bread was packaged up, so in theory, it was safe, but the rest of the transactions - handing the box over, taking payment, etc. - were all done without the required safety measures. With so much public awareness of the pandemic and the ways we are supposed to work to "flatten the curve", it was definitely not a comfortable feeling to not see the employees properly equipped for dealing with the public. We will be back - we are hoping this was a one-off kind of thing. It does make me wonder about other safety measures behind the scenes, but somehow, I'll put it out of my mind to give them another chance. read more

Picked up the cutest lavender French macarons to celebrate my coworkers engagement, which were lovely. The owner is incredibly friendly, and I can't wait to come back earlier on a weekend to get a taste of their other baked goodies. Love that this cute bakery is open later than most! I don't work near a ton of great bakeries and it can be hard to shop local when they all close so early. So thank you! read more
