After looking at Yelp reviews I went here to order a birthday cake for my son's first birthday. They made a beautiful cake in just 2 days notice. All the guests loved the cake. Thank You La Bon for making my son's birthday special! The cake not only looked good but tasted yummy as well. Even my 1 year old ate a big slice... :D This will be my go to bakery from now on! I wanted a fondant cake but there wasn't enough time to make one, so the baker made a similar jungle themed cake with cream and the design was beautiful! read more

Yo guys... Like as a poor college student I got an entire gorgeous cake, a sandwich, this guava cheese pastry, and a coffee for 30 bucks its amazing. And when I went in everyone was just. So nice. They're all excited that its my birthday and I'm excited and it was great. And then I tried the cake (raspberry with chocolate ganache) and it was incredible. The raspberry frosting on the outside was delicious; it wasn't thin or overly buttery - we're talking thick, but not too thick that its gummy. The cake was moist and the ganache inside was unbelievable - thick and rich. All around, great quality for a great price. read more

Tried one of their cakes at a birthday party and love it so much I had to go there myself and get a cake for my daughters party. I got their black and white sheet cake which was a vanilla cake layer and a chocolate cake layer with delicious chocolate mousse in the middle and frosted with the most amazing buttercream ever. The cake was so light and airy and perfect. Every single person at the party raved about it. I will definitely be coming back for more! read more

Our favorite go to place for cakes. Their derby cakes are the best! Chocolate mousse cakes are very good as well. Good customer service.

I have tasted three cakes from this shoppe. The cakes are delicious and so moist. I enjoy every single bite!!

Love this bakery .... Been going here for years ... They do a great job on all the cakes!!

If you've never had a derby cake from this bakery, you have not lived, and that's coming from someone who generally does not like sweets.

Been going to this bakery for years now... Can't complain... LOVE LOVE LOVE their strawberry chocolate cake... We get all the time for birthdays or any occasion... Thank you La Bon! read more

I went here with $15.00 groupon to get a cake for my father's birthday. Friendly service and lots to choose from. We ended up with a strawberry shortcake. It was pretty amazing--light and moist with real whipped cream. Without the groupon though, it would have been over $30.00... a bit pricey for my tastes, but so good it might be worth it. read more

Have been coming here every since I was a kid. Their cream puffs are unmatched and their derby cakes are amazing!

We tried the strawberry chocolate cake on friend's Bday. Taste sooo good! The cream is not heavy and not too sweet. I definitely will go again and try more other kinds of cake, pastry. read more

I ordered a wedding cake & was extremely pleased with the entire process. The cake was beautiful & tasted just as good as it looked. I would highly recommend this bakery to make any get together memorable & special. read more

Their red velvet cupcakes and cheesecake are surprisingly delicious! But if you really want a treat, get their derby cakes. Best cake I've had to date and is always a repeat on birthdays. Staff is generally pretty nice, and prices are not cheap, but reasonable. read more

Great stuff, I pickup goodies for business meetings all the time here and it's been a good idea each time. Service is attentive and pleasant and the shop looks clean and organized. Not been disappointed yet. read more

This is my go-to place for cupcakes. Most are light, moist and delicious, and there are many different varieties. The red velvet cupcakes are my favorite. Also amazing is the pumpernickel bread which I eat w/a little butter or slice of cheese as a snack. Its also amazing toasted with a fried egg on top. The customer service is also wonderful - everyone's friendly and helpful and they encourage you to try samples. read more

Okay ....so here is a update to the review posted 12-26-16. I usually don't voice a complaint unless its necessary or warranted but that occasion it was both. After speaking personally with "Carolyn" from LaBonbonniere who took an extreme interest into what I was saying and understood what happened assured me that this would not happen again. I truly would recommend as I have always done in the past. Best of 2017!!! read more

They have good cakes and I give them 4 stars for the same and no competition ;) i haveno tried their bread or cookies so no comment. The prices re pretty reasonable too read more

Amazing pastries. Ordered a custom cake from here and it was great. The only thing that sucked was the price, but it's a local shop and they make very good cakes. Come here if you're willing to drop a pretty penny for a really good cake. read more

I ordered a cake for my mother-in-law's 97th birthday. The cake was lovely. I picked it up after work and was driving home. A car stopped short in front of me and the cake fell to the floor. It was in the back seat so I couldn't see how bad it was. When I got home and saw it, I wanted to cry. I called the bakery and told them what happened. They suggested that if I brought it back that evening, they could fix it in the morning. When I picked it up the next day, it was back to being lovely!!! I was so grateful to them and all of us appreciated their concern and help. WE LOVED THE CAKE!! Strawberry and banana in a custard filling with a white cake and buttercream icing. DELICIOUS!! read more

I went to the bakery and asked them if they could make a yo gabba gabba cake , i wanted the characters standing made out of fondant . They girl told me they could do it but it would be expensive she made a couple of phone calls before she gave us a idea how the cake would be made . the amount given was a little over $200.00 .The day of the birthday i went to pick up the cake i paid and then they brought out the cake. I was shocked to see they did nothing we told them to do they did what they wanted. Were do i start,the characters were not made or standing on the cake they just cut out peices of fondant and layed them out on the cake! then we asked them for a specific background , no we got just plain white . I had no choice but to go home with the cake my wife was very upset. Also the cake was nothing special in taste, over $200.00 garbage.Never again. read more

Wonderful selection and outstanding quality. It can be a little bit costly, but you definitely get what you pay for. They always use the best quality ingredients and their baked goods will impress! If you want the absolute best, go here. read more

First of all, I'd love to say that their red velvet cakes are simply divine. Their cannolis are to die for and even their simple Italian bread with butter is awesome for breakfast. I love how they have free samples everyday so you can always discover something new to love from here. Their service is impeccable as well. One of the best bakeries hands down. read more

This bakery makes a Brown Derby Cake to kill for..their brownies are the best I have not found better...their rolls and breads are worth the trip...this bakery worth the trip to find your favorites because of the many choices of items available! read more

I'm so disappointed. The store always had a great system during the holidays. I've ordered Easter pies (sweet ricotta and pizza rustica) for the past few years. In previous years, you'd place your order by phone and there was always a separate line for pick-ups when you get to the store (as there should be!). Last holiday, they did away with the pick up line and I was forced to wait on a line that was practically out the door. I could literally see the package with my name waiting for me behind the counter! If I hadn't already paid by credit card I would have left. I waited almost 30 minutes on line and It took the girl behind the counter one minute to give me my purchase. Very bad business Labon... I will not be placing my order with you this year and I imagine numerous holiday customers feel the same. I know because we were all furious together while waiting on that horrible line... read more

I love their holiday specials, their flaky pastries, and their almond horns. I'd like to see a wider variety of baked goods served on a daily basis like jawbreaker biscotti and more things with almonds. read more

As an obsessive compulsive dessert eater, I have visited La Bon many many times, and anything I have ever ordered has always been incredible. Truly. Every single thing they make is made very, very welI. Some of my favorite things: Cream puffs - Made with the tears of real life unicorns. A little pricey at about $1.30 each, but heavenly and worth it. Dulce de leche mini cheesecake Carrot cake cupcakes - These are so moist and have the perfect amount of cream cheese frosting that's not too sweet. If you love carrot cake, get these! Pineapple/Cherry cheese strips Chocolate dipped strawberry cupcake St. Joseph's Pastries - Usually available in March. These are otherworldly and a special treat once per year Brown Derby Cake - The best $36 you'll ever spend. It's a dome shaped chocolate/vanilla cake filled with fresh fruit (usually strawberries, bananas, peaches and pineapple, with whipped cream, and then covered in whipped cream and chocolate cake crumbs. (They have a yellow derby cake too but I've never tried it) Danish Rings Blueberry open cake - These are $8.75 each and the perfect thing to bring when you're stopping at someone's house and don't want to come empty handed. The apple open cake is really delicious too. Every time I have brought one of these to someone's house everyone has raved about them. Chocolate covered waffles -Caramel filled Belgian waffle triangles covered in chocolate and rolled in Oreos **drools over keyboard** Cherry/Apple turnovers King Cake- The original recipe from Paul's Pastry Shop of Picayune, Mississippi. La Bon is the only bakery besides Paul's that makes it and it's delicious. Not sure when they have it but it's very rare. Italian/Rye bread (seeded and unseeded) - They will slice it for you if needed They also make sandwiches on their fresh baked bread. During the winter they have soup specials daily and you can purchase a half sandwich with a cup of soup for $8. My coworkers and I always love going there for lunch because it's delicious and so filling. During the holidays they make fresh pies. Pumpkin, coconut custard, pecan pie, blueberry, apple, etc. and they are the BEST you'll ever have. You can't go wrong picking one up for a holiday dinner and they are reasonably priced too. I love this place and can't recommend it enough :) read more

Over the years, the quality has improved. However, it's still not a bakery I frequent or would recommend. Goods aren't always fresh. The deliciousness is missing in some items. If you are nearby and want to pick up a quick dessert, it's fine. But if you're looking for something to serve guests or be a real treat, I'd pass. Staff is always pleasant though and they do have daily specials. read more

I used to visit the La Bonbonniere location in South Plainfield, NJ and moved so I now visit their Somerset, NJ bakery. La Bonbonniere's buttercream frosting is so unique because it is light and it is whipped. It's sweet without being overly sweet and because it's so light you just want to eat every bit of it. I love it. The cake is also light and fluffy and moist so I'm not sure how they manage that but whatever their secret is it keeps us all coming back for more! Also when it comes to brownies I always get them at La Bonbonniere Bake Shoppe. They ice them with this amazing chocolate frosting so the brownies are just amazing (and worth every stinking calorie)! The Napoleons are great, too. Their Brownies and Napoleons are a bit larger but the girls are so sweet there they always take the time to cut them in half for me and box them up beautifully. I honestly cannot tell you what each item costs because as good as everything is at La Bonbonniere I really do not care but I usually spend about $20-30 for either a cake or 2-3 boxes of Brownies and Pastries depending on the occasion. The smiles they bring and the yummy sounds I hear when people enjoy them are worth every penny. I highly recommend the La Bonbonniere Bake Shoppe. read more

Parking is a bit difficult, it's a small narrow parking lot. However, its croissant is quite a good surprise, not comparable to home baked from scratch, yet the best I could find so far around central NJ. Multigrain loaf, apple strudel and muffin were nice too, it's not fake-taste like some other bakery (claimed to have french influence!) close by. Wish they have some more sit-in space for people to sit and relax. read more

I had a groupon and had to use up $15 ( original value paid). I stopped by and they were pretty bare, they had some specialty cakes but they were over $25 so I was only allowed to get cupcakes and cakes with the groupon. It was entirely my fault, I should have read the fine print on the coupon but still a bummer. It does seem rather silly for a business to limit customers to only a few items. But I was already in Edison, so I ordered two red velvet cupcakes and the rest spring cupcakes hoping they would be worth the drive..Well I should have hoped harder because both the red velvet and the mixed spring cupcakes ( vanilla and chocolate) were pretty bland to put it nicely, they didn't taste fresh.They were "ok", as in Shoprite or A&P bakery "ok"..not at all what I was expecting..bleh! Even my cupcake loving 6 year old did not attempt to sneak one off my kitchen countertop..where 4 sad little cupcakes are still sitting 2 days later...and that says a lot in a household where my husband and daughter would not hesitate to sell me (their own wife and beloved mother) for a good cupcake..Looks like I will have to toss them when I get home tonight but it is a real shame. Sorry but this place was a bust, first and last time. read more

I love this place. I ordered Trea Laches cake for my friend's birthday. And it was so tasty. Next time I bought Tiramisu and it was so soft and creamy. Just loved it. Best place to enjoy cakes. read more

This place is probably my favorite bakery! Everything is exceptional and tasty! I loooove their carrot cake and bon bons.

Best cake shop in Central NJ area. If you haven't tried them, you're missing on something. It has become a habit for me and my family to order birthday/anniversary cakes from here. Don't seem to like any other place, other than La Bon. The goey, extra filling cakes is what makes them stand out. Try them! read more

My hubby got me a layered chocolate and yellow cake from here for my birthday and I have to say I was dying over every piece. It sounds so simple but was one of the best cakes I've ever had--if not the best!! read more

I bought a chocolate cake with strawberry, packed in a box. When I opened it for my daughter's birthday, I found all the strawberries sliding to the bottom and the cake fell apart. Terrible quality at high price. read more

If you can get their key lime pie ( they only make it when the limes are in season - no bottled juice used) I highly recommend it. I love the frosting on their cakes and cupcakes, but it is very different from other places; it is very light,and tasted halfway between whipped cream and buttercream ( it is not heavy and sugary with the grit of regular frosting but is not whipped cream). The cake is very light too. I like that, but other people want more traditional frosting/cake, so check what the frosting is on each cake you get from them, because different cakes may have different frostings. They also have wonderful sandwiches. Everything is very expensive, so it is a special occasion or just for a treat kind of place, but I still would recommend it to everyone, and I find myself trying to invent special occasions just to justify bringing home cupcakes ( my favorite are the chocolate cupcakes with white frosting). They also make a green velvet cake that is a unique hit for St Patrick's day! read more

We had a custom cake made and delivered to a bridal shower. They were ontime, the cake was perfect and absolutely delicious. The cake itself was moist and fluffy, the dressings weren't overpowering. They really worked with us to meet our budget. Would definitely go back next time we have event in the area. read more

This used to be my favorite bakery, but no more. One time I was in the shop and the owners were just about to leave and I heard them tell the girls push the foccacia, push other items. Pastry are not good tasting, danish are often stale. Cakes are nothing spectacular either. One time I went in and the floor was filthy. By the way, the day I was in the shop when the owners were leaving, they almost hit us in the parking lot they flew out of there so fast. This bakery is to be avoided. It is not worth the money, time or effort. read more

Labon always has delicious cakes. Any time I get something from here it is amazing! It smells soo good whenever you walk in. I'm a big fan however, it is a little pricey. Be prepared to spend $$ when you walk in. read more

wat a wonderful cake it was. We had it our kid's first birthday and it was nice to hear from everyone saying WOW for the way the cake was shown and for its taste too!!! It made our day so wonderful and proud!!! Thanks La Bonbonniere. read more
