Lemon bar and Linzer torte
Sarah C.

Swung by this gluten-free gem after it's been on my to visit list forever. I was super excited to check out what kind of gf goodies they offered, especially after seeing some great reviews. The store is practicing proper safety measures for COVID, so I felt safe while browsing. There was a nice selection of baked goods available, so there was plenty to choose from. The only downside while browsing is that nothing is labeled, there's nothing to clearly indicate what the item is or how much it costs. I had to inquire about any item I was interested in, which is a bit cumbersome while trying to make selections and minimize time spent in shops. Though all of the bread they had was vegan, they only had one vegan pastry available, but something is better than nothing. They did also have a few dairy free options in the case. I opted for two of the vegan pastries as treats for others and a Linzer torte and lemon bar for myself. The torte and bar were both delicious, the torte was especially impressive. I will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

Let me just say, Isaura Bakery is the real deal. Ever since developing a gluten intolerance, baked goods just were not appealing because they were always missing something. However, this is just not the case with Isaura. Upon walking into the bakery, I was immediately impressed with the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. I was given a visual tour of all that the bakery has to offer between the gluten free doughs and bagels to the macaroons and assorted cookies. Isaura also has dairy free options with many of their gluten free baked goods which is amazing. I had a sample of their cinnamon sugar donuts and had to bring one home for myself and my fiancé. We both were totally in love with it, he even said it was much better than other regular donuts he's eaten. I also ordered a small vanilla gluten free cake with chocolate dairy free frosting for my engagement party and it was AMAZING. Many people in my family who are not gluten free really enjoyed it. The consistency of the cake was perfect and the frosting was so delicious, more delicious than I ever thought a dairy-free frosting could be! Thank you so much to Isaura Bakery for holding such a high standard. I cannot wait to tell my friends who also have gluten issues and I cannot wait to come back to have some more treats!

Oreo cookie. Very large and delicious
Edmary S.

Very good gluten free bakery in Hawthorne! I ordered the Oreo cookie, chocolate Bundt cake, a chocolate chip cookie, and chocolate cupcake. I'd say the Oreo cookie and chocolate cupcake was my favorite. The cupcake and Oreo both had a vanilla like frosting which I didn't love but it wasn't too bad. I wasn't a big fan of the double chocolate cookie because I didn't taste a lot of the chocolate. The texture of the cookies was great though. My husband and I loved the Oreo cookie. I also sample some breads and they were yummy. Next time I'll be back for some freshly baked sourdough bread. The prices were fair. The service was very good. I think I have to give the cupcakes another try. I'm happy the cakes were moist versus dry like other GF cakes I've tried.

This bakery is a brand new addition to Hawthorne. Absolutely immaculate with a very knowledgable owner. Illy coffee was perfect. We sampled a brownie fresh out of the oven and a gingersnap cookie. In a million years, I wouldn't guess these were gluten free. Some of the offerings are inspired by the owner's Brazillian roots: guava cheesecake, yuca coconut cake and passion fruit layer cake just to name a few. Even though I tolerate gluten, I will definitely be coming back time and time again to this sweet shop. **They are the only certified gluten-free bakery in all of Bergen & Passaic counties. Other bakeries who offer gluten-free items are not gluten-free facilities.

My gluten free baby shower cake. Really good!

The GF cake was really good! This was my baby shower cake. Coconut cloud cake. Beautiful

Vanilla Buttercream Lemon Cake
Paula M.

I don't provide reviews for a lot of places, but this bakery deserves one. Let me start by saying WOW! I needed a cake last minute, so I called Isaura to see how far in advance I typically have to call to get a cake order. To my surprise they said "we can have something ready by early afternoon". I was shocked! Most places require days in advance orders especially for specialty items. I ordered a lemon cake with vanilla buttercream for my husband's (who has a gluten & dairy allergy) birthday and the cake is out of this world. It's moist and the buttercream is sooo yummy! You would never even know it's a specialty cake. Also while we were there we picked up a coffee cake (and a bunch of other goodies from the freezer, which we are looking forward to trying) and again WOW! Must try. To top it all off. They have great customer service. This is my new "go to" place for our cakes. Thank you!

Cinnamon roll - amazing!!

Nick was nice to work with and the cake was fresh. But the $180 cake for my baby's 1st birthday did…read morenot come out as requested/expected. The day of the party was too hectic so I accepted it. A week or so later, I emailed them with the attached picture and expressed how disappointed I was. The professional thing to do would have been to apologize. No response. I spent a lot of time explaining verbally and in writing what I wanted and provided a picture of the classic Winnie the pooh cake I wanted. For $180, he should have told me that he could not do specific characters. Pooh bear and piglet looked more like aardvarks or some random animals with long snouts.

I ordered a cake from Nick about three weeks ago. Even though I have lived here for over 35 years,…read moreno one ever told me about this bakery. Since it was our 50th wedding anniversary, I wanted the Italian rum cannoli cake I remembered for many years but could never find a bakery worth buying that type of cake from, other than lower Manhattan. I went on Yelp and found many people who loved this place and therefore I ordered the cake. Nick was great to talk to. The cake was absolutely delicious. It was just as I ordered and just as I remembered. It is the Italian rum cake, with one layer of cannoli, and one layer of yellow custard. Whipped cream and instead of nuts, we ordered chocolate sprinkles surrounding the cake. So fresh and delicious. Will come here again. From the outside the store does not look like much, but I trusted my instinct to walk in and discuss what I wanted with Nick. Thank you, Nick!

The cake I requested on the left and the cake that they did for me on the right. Does that look like classic pooh and piglet to you??

Came with our parents on a weekday, our first time eating in, but parents had been before. Casual,…read moresmall place. Service was unfriendly and cold. When I finally got her attention for sour cream for my daughter's khinkali she said they ran out. Hard to believe. We brought a bottle of wine as parents said it was BYOB. Wrong. Turns out they just started serving a small selection of specialty wine, so now there was a corking fee - $30 added to the bill for each!! What!?! No sign or note on the menu. I would have put the bottle back in the car if I'd known. Didn't open the wine for us or offer an ice bucket, nothing, just added to the bill. Felt ripped-off and will never return.

We came here during Sunday lunch hours to meet up with some amazing Yelp friends. There were…read moreparking spots right in front and around the store. They had a cozy small dining space with few tables and booths to dine-in. The interior of the restaurant was so nice, with the beautiful art and paintings on the wall. We started with soft and fluffy Shoti bread. We got to order a bunch of things from the menu. Shish Kabab, chicken/lamb dumplings and Tabaka (small fried chicken) were decent dishes. Chanakhi (lamb stew) was a best dish to be, had amazing flavor and stew was delicious. Adjaruli was the iconic Georgian dish on the table, filled with enormous amount of cheese, mixed with poached egg. Our server was super friendly. All our dishes kept coming out within small interval. The prices of the items were so cheap, we were surprised to see the total of the check. Overall it was a wonderful dining experience at Shoti.
