My fiancé ordered my birthday cake from Juliana's as I had a craving for Dominican cake. He placed an order on a Sunday early afternoon and we picked up the cake the following Monday evening. We didn't have any issues with freshness like others have noted. In fact, I felt like mine was *too* fresh - sounds odd, I know! But the icing seemed like it hadn't really "set" and overall, the cake had a very noticeable citrus flavor (it was dulce de Leche). The next day, though, it was *perfect*. The flavors had mellowed out and the icing had a very good consistency. The cake was reasonably priced - $17 plus tax for a cake that served about 6-7 people. I would recommend this place for those in central NJ who are looking to purchase Dominican cakes. My favorite Dominican cake is still in Jersey City but this is a solid option for Union County. read more

Their bake goods are also delicious, recommend trying the 3 leches (3 milk cake) ! Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. read more

Juliana's Bakery - Pastries - American Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

I needed a cake last minute for my aunts birthday. I called at 12:30 to place a pick up order for 4:45. The girl I spoke to was very friendly and I told her what letters needed to be on the cake. When I arrived, the place is small with only street parking. The girl at the front counter was nice but my cake wasn't ready, she had me rewrite the lettering. The big shock came when I paid, for a cake for 8-10 people I paid $30. Yes you read right, $30! Wow, talk about sticker shock. I haven't tried this cake yet but for the price it better me freaking unbelievably delicious. Update: Tried the cake, it was good but not worth the price. The cake itself was dry but the frosting was good. I did notice the frosting job was done a little sloppy so it made for creativity in picture taking. Seeing that this bakery is located in Elizabeth where there are tons of Hispanic Bakeries, the price should reflect the over saturation of the market. I would try another bakery next time. read more

Juliana's Bakery - American Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

I'm Dominican but live in miami for over 20 years, my fiancé - white American man- lives in Brooklyn and I was coming to Brooklyn to spend our bdays together- his is only 2 days before mine- He knows I love Dominican cake so he asked around and this place was recommended to him by a co worker. He got me a cake from Juliana's Bakery for my bday- our bdays- . Omg! It was the most delicious dominican cake I had in years. It was not dry or wet, just perfect. I ate every bite with delight and joy! He and his sister also admitted how delicious was the cake. We had tried other Dominican places even in Washington Hight but not really as good as this one Now every time i came to New York I go across to New Jersey to get this cake. It is completely worth if you actually enjoy an authentic Dominican cake. read more

This place is awesome. The staff is friendly and they even donated some treats for a Christmas party - and by some treats I mean like 80 cupcakes. #blessed I've also tried their chicken sandwich, which is quite flavorful for the simple ingredients it contains. It is a bit messy, but it's a filling sandwich at only $6. The pastries as enjoyable too. My favorite would be the fruit tart. They have a $10 min on credit cards though, so the first time I went I unnecessarily bought a bunch of desserts and left feeling like a fatass. Don't worry, I didn't eat all of them (in one sitting). read more

This bakery looks clean and attractive but the guava pastelitos I tried were the worst I've ever had. Smelled and tasted terrible. The flan & pudín were fine though. Por favor de revisar su receta de pastelitos. Copien como lo hacen en Miami. read more

Ordered a cake here for a family event I usually order my cakes at bakery in Jersey City but I was short in time and wouldn't be able to drive all the way to Hudson Country and then to Union County in a matter of an hour so I decided to order the cake closer to my family's event.... Opened up Yelp in search of dominican cake and this bakery came up.. It's a tad pricier than the bakery I frequent in Jersey City but everyone loved the cake so that's what matters.. I ordered the cake with pineapple and Dulce de leche and it was delicious read more

I bought a small cake after craving Dominican cake for weeks, and wasn't impressed. I'm not sure if it's because it was premade sitting in their display fridge but it was dry, and lacked filling for sure. Next time, I'll order a fresh cake. I'll update my review when I do. read more

The cakes , pastries and food are very good , I have been going here for about 2 years now . But the service has went down . I went to order my husband's birthday cake , the older lady behind the counter was very rude and nasty so I left with out ordering . I will go back to driving to Jersey City to get my Dominican Cakes . read more

The desserts here are delicious and the girls are so nice. My husband is Dominican, so I got him a traditional dominican cake with pineapple for his bday, and it was delicious and well priced. I got coconut macaroons and they were really good too! I've had several desserts here and was never let down. Don't be nervous if you don't speak Spanish, because they speak perfect English. So go there...enjoy a cafecito and some bizcoho! Buen provecho! read more

This has to be one of the best bakery's in Elizabeth. The staff is very kind and the service is very efficient.

Great Dominican cake. Good quality and service. They lost two stars because the girl behind the counter insisted I write something on the cake I ordered, she was obviously not the usual person to write on the cakes, I said sure. When I got the cake back it looked like a 4 year old wrote it. She knew it was jacked up. She showed me the cake upside down, I glanced at it and was like that didn't look right, but I was in a hurry. I scraped off the writing when I got home. Parking is also a pain. But I'll be back again because it's the closest and best Dominican cake I can find. ALWAYS CHECK THE WRITING!! read more

Small & quaint. Clean & friendly. Delicious Dominican style cake! FINALLY a good Dominican cake place in Union county! Loved it!

Excellent food and Service! I had delicious Lentil soup for lunch today along with pulled pork and they offered me a delicious salad instead of rice. Amazing coffee and Expresso! read more

First time I come here and it was the worst experience. This is the last time I ever step foot in there. DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE! They didn't capture anything that I asked for , Monica in the front was the rudest person I've ever met. I've never had such bad customer service in my life! I asked for a replica of hulk's abs meaning green with lines that show abs how do you end up giving me a green cake with 6 black squares on it?!? Wouldn't even price adjust or try to fix the error. Their employee Monica was study giving me an attitude and the older lady not the younger girl at the counter would even call a manager nor owner. That is not customer service. If a client doesn't like it you try your best to accommodate the client whether it's a price adjustment or trying to fix it to make it better. I've dealt with customers and clearly know that's not how you confront that situation. From the moment I walked in I should've known they look like they don't care about the place nor want customers to come back. One last thing: they weren't on time I asked for it to be ready 2-2:30pm wasn't ready! read more
