Their pan de bono is absolutely delicious: warm, soft, and perfectly cheesy with that slightly crisp exterior. It's the kind of treat you crave again the minute you finish it! I've tried several items here, from their wide variety of baked goods to their hot food options, and every single dish has been exquisite. The hot meals are flavorful, well-seasoned, and satisfying. The name truly says it all - "Rico" means delicious, and that's exactly what you get. Everything I've tasted lives up to that promise. The combination of fresh flavors and authentic recipes make this place stand out.

So much to choose from in a tiny space! I totally copied the man ahead of me and ordered everything he did. I told him I'm gonna blame him if it wasn't good but there was no need. It was DELICIOUS! So fresh and insanely reasonable in price! Even my friends were surprised when they heard the total! They have a few cafe tables & the place is clean enough to enjoy your meal. They're gonna get sick of me... im gonna be a regular now! Yummmm!

When you walk in you can see Rebecca doing all the baking w/her parents helping out. As this place has just opened, the selection is limiting right now but while I was there w/friends enjoying our sweets, we saw a multitude of people walking in to check the place out & purchase something. She offers large cookies, macaroons, croissants, cupcakes, tarts & some round bread. The place is closed Monday & Tuesday. She makes beautiful cookies & pies. Yes, it's a little pricey but she is using quality ingredients! Located behind the Panther Pub with a lot of parking close by. Definitely check this place out! Wishing Rebecca all the best in her new venture!

The pieces are also not as hard as the factory made stuff. The variety of biscotti available is excellent. The owner is extremely nice. In my mom's most recent trip she brought home their brownie which is more like a fudge brownie topped with peanut butter and then topped by a chocolate shell- amazing! These are $2 each, whish is on the pricey side given that they are the size of a medium little neck clam. I'm surprised by the long shelf life of the biscotti- its not like that matters anyway, as it's consumed way before it would expire. If you are looking for an English speaking place to check out in hackettstown, give them a try!

Cake Fiction was the one vendor we used from a recommendations list our wedding venue gave to us. I…read moream SO glad we did. Their barn itself is also super cute, just going up for the cake tasting session was magical in itself. Picking just 3 flavors to sample from their list of cake combinations was so hard, which was a good thing! You are allowed to have a different flavor for each layer of cake at no additional cost, so we had fun with those. We picked the olive oil cake with passion fruit cream, the walnut almond pound cake with raspberry mousse, and the lemon cake with orange flower blossom cream. Well, my husband talks about that passion fruit cream more than any other part of our wedding (I try not to be too upset about that), it was that amazing! My favorite flavor was the raspberry mousse, and I keep hearing a ton of compliments on that flavor in particular from our guests. The only critique I would give to Cake Fiction is that they didn't give the venue a list of the flavors so nobody knew what each layer was and my husband and I had picked the flavors months before and couldn't remember either. I also appreciate how up-front Cake Fiction was with their pricing, which is listed online on their website to give you an idea of an estimate for your cake. We ended up going with a naked cake with just buttercream frosting on the outside which saved us a bit of money, and it looked so beautiful after our florist put a couple of flowers on it for us and it really fit in well with the theme of our barn venue. I made my own cake toppers out of clay and they were a little heavy so I was worried about them on top possibly sinking into the cake, but the cake was sturdy and the topper sat up there proudly! And finally, Paula is also the sweetest lady ever and you can tell she really has a passion for her work. It's lovely that we have such a great wedding cake baker in New Jersey. Now if only they would open a tiny bakery so that we can get two cupcakes with our flavors next year for our anniversary. :)

I have been shopping at this store since 1988 and for last 5 years or so I dread going there…read more Daytime staff is uniformly awful. You ask a question and they don't even look up to acknowledge you. The deli is the worse with half hour waits because workers are elderly and extremely slow. Employees watching self-checkout are rude and obnoxious with not a clue how to do a rain check. Mgmt doesn't seem to care about any of this. I could go on forever about how customer service is nonexistent here. The one star is for evening employees who are very helpful and don't have an attitude problem.

Their prices are reasonably competitive, and the shelves are consistently well stocked, which makes planning and shopping much easier. Is the layout counterintuitive? Absolutely. Is it annoying to have to use a quarter to get a cart? Definitely. But the staff more than make up for these quirks. The team is friendly and genuinely helpful across the board--the produce section, deli counter, fresh fish area, the kind cashiers, and especially the amazing butcher team. They seem happy to be here and happy to help, and that energy really comes through. The icing on the cake is the other shoppers. People are respectful with their carts, offer a smile as they pass, and do small, gracious things--like letting someone with two items go ahead of their overflowing cart. It all adds up to a place that simply feels good to shop in. As Maya Angelou said, "People will never forget how you made them feel," and that's exactly why I keep coming back to this store.
