I'm a savory fan so the thick salty ham at the center made me happy. The almond croissant had some chocolate and was decadent as well. The interior is so pretty with its pastries and decor.

We were exploring the area and discovered this place. There's street parking and pay-per-parking…read morelots nearby so nothing dedicated but it is in a relatively high pedestrian traffic area. It was larger than I expected and a little overwhelming. There seemed to be only one person working on Labor Day (or that was the case when we were there in the afternoon) and two cash registers. The one on the right appeared to be for drinks and ice cream, the one straight ahead for donuts. She was always helping out people with ice cream and we headed towards the back where there was a substantial display of donuts. They have plenty of tables and chairs plus outdoor seating so good for parties of all sizes. They do have gluten free and vegan donuts, but their donuts are NOT both vegan and gluten free which meant one of my kids could not partake. There is A LOT to choose from but we ended up getting: CRUMBLE ME APPLE: light and not too sweet. The crumble gave a nice textural contrast, the donut was good, and it was filled with a tart apple filling that I thought really made it delicious. There was also a sticky caramel (?) drizzle but it was very light and melded with everything else. Excellent donut choice. CINNAMON & SUGAR KRONUT: I asked for recommendations because I couldn't decide and the girl recommended a kronut. I've had my share of cronuts/kronuts (croissant donuts) but am always open to trying more variations. This donut was large, light, and had decent lamination. I didn't find it too greasy, sweet, or heavy and I actually really enjoyed it! ARE YOU CEREAL?: my daughter picked this. She really liked it and said it was "amazing". I didn't taste it but it definitely looks sweeter than the ones I chose for the adults. At least she likes it? Donuts were $4.75 each so it adds up fast, but the ones I tasted were quite good! They have restrooms in the back but you need to request a key to access them. You have to be a customer. They were out of toilet paper and paper towels but they do have a hand dryer. The only downside is they aren't very clean. Tables looked okay though it was highly dependent on the table, but floors were sticky. Not sure if we came at the wrong time or they were just understaffed. The girl working at the time was really nice and sweet so no issues with service itself. Overall, a great place to get donuts that taste good and aren't too sweet (depending on what you get). I'm glad we came across this place!

Still probably the freshest pan dulce around! Even stopping in later in the evening, the bread was…read morenot hard at all like so many of the places around here. We took them to some friends who are also from California and they, too commented on how they haven't found pan dulce as fresh anywhere near them. I'm not sure what it was, but there was a lovely smell of cinnamon near the checkout. I'll have to go back and try more of their goodies!

We tried to stop earlier this time to try some desserts. We didn't notice prices listed or posted-…read morebut they were in plastic containers in the refrigerator section cut in slices. They also had some open bakery items on the shelves to help yourself. We did not notice any pricing visible. When we went to pay, it seemed expensive for a slice of small cake in a container. Idk--it didn't really seem worth the price to try it since we didn't even know how long it might have been sitting in the plastic container and if it was even fresh.

More good: my cafe latte was good. I like that they had chocolate/cinnamon powder as an item to sprinkle on your drink if you want to. I enjoyed the tiny pastry (maybe it was the pastel de nata). The restaurant seemed super clean and pleasant sound level. The not so good: the Hash Brown Bread with Ham & Cheese. They said they warmed it for me but there was zero detection of warmth (meh, I didn't ask again). I didn't care for the ketchup flavored drizzle on top of it too (made it look nice but too sweet and just didn't add to the item imo). There wasn't really a "crisp" to the hash brown part. Would visit again, wouldn't get that savory hash brown pastry though.

I don't live in the area anymore,…read morebut whenever I'm back home and need a cake to celebrate a birthday, Cupcake Magician is my go-to place. The cakes are always delicious and beautifully decorated. Everyone who eats them always asks where they came from! A lot of times, birthday cakes taste like... well, birthday cakes--you know, the standard yellow cake with overly sweet, artificial-tasting frosting. But not these. These cakes taste homemade, fresh, and made with real love. I also can't wait to try their cupcakes--they look just as amazing! If you're in the Red Bank area, this is the place to go for any celebration or just to enjoy a delicious treat!

We stopped in for coffee on a Sunday morning. Cappuccino for me, latte for La Portena. If I had to…read moreguess, they used a darker roast than I would have preferred. I also had a breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg, and cheese on a roll. The roll and sausage were excellent. Still I think the winning move here might be a pastry from Nick and Sons in the next door space with your Booskerdoo coffee. Service was fast and friendly, but the market needs more customers and the vibe was lacking.

My family was exploring and I really wanted something savory while in the area. I saw "sushi…read moreburrito" and was intrigued. It seemed a safe choice (we're allium-free vegetarians) and I was luckily right, for the most part. The place is cute with a little gift shop (this squishiest, needoh, and little toys) to the side which I was not expecting and the rest was the restaurant. They have an open kitchen, do poke bowls and drinks including boba. Plus mochi ice cream, roll ice cream, and other sweets. You place your order at the counter, pick your table, and they'll bring out your food. Sushi burritos are NOT officially on the menu but you essentially use the same section as DIY poke bowls. Same price regardless of bowl or burrito. You just pick and choose and make your own which I thought was fun. The tricky part is the sauce. They have a good selection, but the lady did not know what the ingredients were, which was... disappointing. Didn't ask the kitchen either. We ended up going with soy sauce, which was given to us in a cup on the side. The burrito is nicely sized. I asked for a number of things and you could taste them as you worked through it but it's impossible to taste everything at the same time. But it's not throughout the entire length of the burrito. It also doesn't have any additional seasoning aside from items like oshinko (pickled, radioactive yellow radish... it was thinly sliced and I couldn't see it but I did taste it when I got to it) or things bloomed their own flavor like mango so the sauce is recommended. Soy sauce was perfect, but I really wanted to try the Honey Wasabi sauce. Anyway, the burrito was good! But it was also $17. Ouch. Tofu doesn't cost that much so I did think it a bit much? There's an option for NO protein which is a little cheaper so maybe that would have been better? Good place to go to for a savory bite. Would be better if I could get fancier sauce and there was better knowledge of ingredients. That in itself makes the place iffy for the entire family. One of my kids has multiple food allergies.

Since he's candy-obsessed, we reached out to Chocolate Works, and the owner went above and beyond to make magic happen.

The kindness, patience, and genuine excitement from the owner and staff made my son feel so special and included. It's businesses like Chocolate Works--with their heart, flexibility, and dedication--that remind me there is still so much good in the world. We are beyond grateful for this memorable experience and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sweet, personalized treat! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

It's been a while since I've written a yelp review, but I felt like I needed to warn others about…read morethis extremely disappointing experience. The ice cream itself was underwhelming--overly processed-tasting and seriously overpriced for the quality. But the real problem was the rude and disrespectful attitude of the man who appeared to be the owner. My ice cream cost $4.50. I paid with a $5 bill, and instead of offering me my 50 cents in change, he simply put it directly into the tip jar. At first, I assumed it was an honest misunderstanding. However, after reading other Yelp reviews describing the same behavior, it seems this is a common practice. Customers should be allowed to decide for themselves whether and how much they want to tip. He also refused to give my young son a cup of water, despite having two water spigots available, and insisted that we purchase a bottled water instead. Mediocre, overpriced ice cream would have been merely disappointing. Treating customers--and especially families--with this level of disrespect is what made the experience unacceptable. I'm posting this so others know what they may encounter before choosing to spend their money here.
