    :) happy birthday
    Joanne G.

    Amazing as always. I've been getting this cake for years and it's always amazing. Quick service and friendly staff. Love this place and the cake!!!!

    Chocolate hazelnut mousse
    Alice K.

    Over 15 years ago a friend brought this chocolate hazelnut mousse cake over for dessert. Now whenever we're in Jersey we'll go out of our way to get it. We've tried other pastries/cakes from this bakery, but hands down this is the BEST! We prefer the Bloomfield location over Wayne for service and quality. Recommend reserving cake ahead of time because we went once and they were sold out

    Black & White Cake

    I was able to have one of their cakes that was being served at an engagement party. I did not actually attend this establishment, but it seems like they have a number of baked goods to choose from. The black and white cake was tried. It was a chocolate and white cake with a chocolate pudding filling as well as a chocolate icing. There were white cake crumbs around the side as well. It was also customized, which was nicely presented. The cake itself was a standard and normal cake, not dry, but not moist either. The icing was tasty while the pudding filing made for a refreshing treat. Will I go back? I would head there.

    My wife told me we needed to go get some bread to go with dinner, so I'm thinking we're just going to the local store but my wife brought me here. Bread was fresh and absolutely delicious. You got to get the good stuff when having a nice Ziti dinner on a Sunday. They also have every goodie you can imagine. Yes, I'll admit it. We left with a strawberry shortcake and one of those fruit custard cups as well. Easily could've went with a cannoli cake or the 7 layer cookies. Service was excellent. The girl that helped us was very helpful. We got one of those large round Italian breads and they'll slice it for you as well. Looking forward to going back to try some of their other treats.

    If I'm bringing desert, this is where it's coming from. This small bakery is always busy. The pastries, cakes and cookies never disappoint. My favorite is the strawberry shortcake. I could eat the entire cake alone but they save me from myself. They offer mini cakes.

    Assorted mini desserts... packaging not ideal...

    Negative thing first... please use bigger boxes instead of cramming the desserts in (especially the more delicate mini cakes made of mousse). We bought $20 worth of mini desserts and the girl handed us a suspiciously small box. In the car we opened it to makes sure all 5 were in there... the pretty strawberry mousse was crammed on its side, and strawberry shortcake was squashed in a corner. That one was a ball when we took it out... At least this was just for our family, but if we were gifting this to someone (as we sometimes do) this would be embarrassing! The desserts were still delicious, as malformed as some of them were. If you care about the presentation, I'd be wary and tell them to use a roomier box. They would get 5 stars for great taste and selection, one star docked for this issue. (Note: we never encountered this problem in the Wayne location)

    Just average bakery. Cupcakes tasted like store bought. Strawberry filled cake was better. Bakery has two locations, been around for long time,

    Chocolate pound cake, cookies, macaroons, strawberry shortcake, and rainbow cake!

    See all

    The cannoli cream is the best you will find in any bakery! And the cookies are unique.

    The gold standard for cannoli's. I drive from Bergen County just to get some. The other pastries are awesome too! The bread as well!
