The staff was great, they move quick and is very helpful...even if it's your first time there and feel overwhelmed by all the great options to choose from, the ladies are very friendly. Walked in, not a large place, but it's clean, smelled great and they have plenty of yummy options that your eyes pick up immediately... you know this place has everything you need from a bakery. They are multiple display cases, fully stocked with a variety of cakes, cookies, donuts, specialty pastries, and more. They have a couple of cake displays, for the full-size, mini-size, and the slices as well. They also do specialty cakes and special order catering too. Their Deli has plenty of side dishes to choose from...especially great if you are going somewhere and you don't want to make anything...let the folks at Giancarlos save the day. To my surprise, they also make pizza pies and to include sell by the slice too !! Ordered two breakfast sandwiches (1x HEC & 1x BEC), both were filling and delicious. The French bread was fresh and soft. We bought the small red velvet cake today, but look forward to returning and try the lemon cake.

I've seen Das Creamery listed as one of the best ice cream shops in northern NJ for a few years…read morenow. Yesterday, I finally had a chance to see for myself. The verdict? Definitely, one of the best! The ice cream here was so creamy and delicious, my wife and I loved it. She had a cup of strawberry cheesecake and I had a cone with scoops of chocolate and butter pecan. Both were great, but the chocolate was amazing! The store is located in a strip mall on Rt 46 in Budd Lake. Plenty of parking and friendly staff behind the counter. Stop here if you want to treat yourself to something good!

The Banana Oreo may be my new favorite flavor of ice cream! Someone suggested it when we were…read morewalking in and I highly recommend.

When you first see Ashley Farms, you have an intuition that this is a great find. The sign outside…read moresurrounded by Black Eyed Susan's is just beautiful. We've passed this place often, but my wife and I finally had an opportunity to stop in this week. Being naturally drawn to sweets, the pies and the cakes were the first things we looked at. What an amazing selection! If you like pies, that alone is enough reason to come here. Since it's almost Fall, we bought a pumpkin cream cheese roll. It was absolutely amazing! We also picked up a couple of apple cinnamon scones for breakfast the next morning. We have friends who say the tomatoes here are the best around, and that's saying something since we know all the places with great NJ tomatoes! Now that we've been here, Ashley Farms will be a regular stop for us! Give it a try!

For Thanksgiving this year we decided to get a fresh turkey from here and some of their "homemade"…read morepies. Turkey was good, but the pies (Pecan and Pumpkin) were absolutely the worst pies I've ever eaten. Actually, we couldn't even eat them they were so inedible. The pecan had zero taste and was wrapped in plastic which means they probably buy them cheap and sell for a huge profit. Pumpkin pie had a very rubbery texture and again zero taste. We were so embarrassed as no one ate the pies. We threw them in the ditch next to our house. Totally, totally disgusting. Save yourself a ton of money and get yourself a $2.99 Mrs. Smith's pie from the grocery store and a pumpkin pie from Costco. A fraction of the price and at least they're edible!

Came here for my birthday and cannot say enough good things. Started with the bread, which is a…read moregenerous portion of crispy, fluffy bread with butter. The tuna crudo was fresh with nice acidity, and I loved the plate it came on. The foie gras was extremely rich and savory, and the risotto underneath was cooked perfectly. The rabbit ragú is such a unique dish. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the rabbit was so tender, and the sauce was excellent. Not pictured is their take on fries, which are thick but still extremely crispy and delicious. We were between the orange dessert and the chocolate cake, and they surprised me by bringing us both, which is indicative of how good the service was. It's a cozy place that I would absolutely visit again. Overall: 4.8/5

There was no signage about it so when we arrived we went inside the market to ask. They gave us a pair of scissors to use and let us know that sunflowers were $1 more per stem. (This was a great deal! I've been to other farms that charge more.) We walked through as cut as many flowers that we could fit. The farm wasn't too busy so it was enjoyable. After flower picking we got ice cream from their ice cream window (this was the pricey side) and sat at a picnic table watching the goats. Tranquillity Farms was a short ride up 80 West. They have plenty of parking, fresh produce and other goods in the market, and a jungle gym for the kids. I couldn't find a bathroom - only saw portajohns. They've started their apple picking season so I plan to return soon!

Stopped by Tranquility Farms -- a beautiful farm stand with a ton of personality and charm…read more Food: I had the cookies and cream ice cream, which was delicious and creamy, the perfect farm-fresh treat. We also picked up some fresh produce that ended up making a great dinner later that night. Everything tasted fresh and high-quality, exactly what you'd hope for from a local farm. Service: The staff were very helpful when picking out produce and super friendly at the counter. You can tell they take pride in what they do and want customers to have a good experience. Aesthetic: The setup is beautiful and much larger than it first appears, with a welcoming and well-kept layout. It's the kind of place you can easily spend more time at than you planned, just taking in the scenery.

I'm not a StarBuckies groupie, but my wife is and we had to go since it's Red Cup Day!!…read more So we went together and was I shocked by how many people were in there waiting for their orders. (Like brainwashed Zombies...if I wasn't with my wife, would've done a 180° out the door). This location like most SB was clean, standard decor, properly stocked merchandise. (they always have to upsell) Even though it was a mad house for those darn "Red Cups", it appears they were properly staffed, since there were approximately 10 people manning the counters/drive-thru. Although it appears they focused primarily on the drive-thru instead of the massive crowd inside standing around waiting for a Socialist run store to open for Government Cheese (coming soon to NYC)...LoL BTW, drive-thru was around the corner of the building too. Regardless, hats off for the Mgr and her staff for keeping the wait to only an hour. Minus one star...it seems like the prices are steadily increasing
