From the owner: We are online 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are the Belvidere Baking Company, founded in…read more2013. Our products, Belvidere Biscuits, are a sinfully decadent sweet artisan dessert- a soft, rich, and dense biscuit. We have combined our 130-year-old recipe with Victorian-themed branding and have created what we believe is a singular dessert experience. Our biscuits are handmade, small batch, artisan baked goods. Each batch is created by hand, and all ingredients hand cut and mixed, and with no machinery, ensuring the integrity of each mouthwatering ingredient. This is why you'll see whole chocolate chips, and large chunks of fruit and nuts. We put no preservatives, no dyes, and no artificial flavoring into our product. We then slice them hot out of the oven. And, of course, every single batch is baked fresh and made to order. 19 Decadent Flavors!

I went around 5:00 on a Monday afternoon and I was the only person there granted. It's the winter and so I don't know how many people are regularly coming out. I can imagine in the summer this place would be significantly more busy. When I went inside I was greeted by the woman behind the counter. She was friendly and nice. I asked if I could sample one of the flavors and she obliged. I tried the tiramisu which was really delicious and I ended up getting a small cone with that and the s'more. I did really like the tiramisu better and if I went back I would probably just get that and has chunks of ladyfinger in there which adds to a very nice texture. All in all they had a lot of really good looking flavors and they even had ice cream cupcake looking things in the case. I bet this is a great place to come in the summer as well as getting some options for kids birthday parties, or adults if that's your style too.

I ordered ten dozen cupcakes to share at the Garden State Film Festival for my friend's birthday! They even "reserved " one dozen especially for us to enjoy together later with sprinkles and "Happy Birthday" messages! We made a million friends that day and shared them with the staff at the Berkeley Oceanfront- who were thrilled! The cakes were luscious and moist - and apropos to their name - as sweet and wonderful as you could ever hope a cupcake to be! We got churro, red velvet, chocolate sundae, eclair, chocolate raspberry, sprinkles, coconut and a half dozen other flavors - each more sumptuous than the last! Stop your search now and get these treats for your friends and guests. I promise you'll be very glad you did

Do not book this company for an event. They are not capable of organizing a simple thing like…read moreparking or have the professionalism to properly communicate. My fiance has been emailing the owner to no avail and he was finally able to reach her by phone on the week of my wedding. She made my fiance call the town to try to obtain a permit and did not even attempt to call. I was planning to pay a decent amount for a wedding and she asked if the venue workers can scoop ice cream to my wedding coordinator. The business owner then told my fiance that the wedding coordinator told her to have my fiance call the town for a permit, which this is a blatant lie because my wedding coordinator called me with concerns as a vendor typically will deal with parking. They asked if me and my fiance can help during our wedding to guide them in or assist with parking and if they couldn't find parking it would eat into our paid time. We have other vendors where this is not a problem. The location was discussed when it was agreed upon. If I could give zero stars I would because my wedding is this week. She also charges my credit card without authorization as she did not finalize parking and did not email if she was coming to the event due to her complaining about the parking, mind you this is two days before the wedding Baked bear is amazing and I had more professionalism and organization in one phone call compared to this horrible experience.

I had the coffee and instead of getting it in a cup, like I usually do, I got a cake cone. It was a great decision! When was the last time you had your ice cream on a cake cone?

Yesterday I purchased eight brownies for over $30 from this bakery for a birthday celebration at work. At that price point, I expected something fresh, rich, and worthy of being brought to a group. What I got instead were stale, dry brownies that tasted like they had been sitting out for days. It was honestly embarrassing to serve them. They were noticeably old and completely underwhelming, especially for a bakery that positions itself as a premium spot. If you're charging luxury prices, the product needs to match. Freshness should be the absolute bare minimum, and unfortunately, that wasn't even close here. I won't be returning, and I definitely wouldn't recommend this place for anything you're bringing to an event.

The various types of biscotti we purchased as well as the crumble cheesecake were highlights from our selections. Definitely worth a stop in to see what interests your sweet tooth. The Deets: After dinner in Asbury Park this recent visit, it was decided a visit was needed down to Del Ponte's Bakery along Main St in Bradley Beach. This bakery's huge selection of Italian pastries and sweet treats was almost overwhelming! Multiple display cases of deliciousness awaited us inside the shop, we really took our time to look over all of it before decisions were made. We had basically thought going in that we would nab some fresh biscotti (which of course, we did, in different varieties, all delicious) but also ended up with some other goodies such as crumble cheesecake (so good!), cookies, etc. We feasted well each morning, believe you me. It was on the Friday evening of Labor Day holiday weekend and I think the young staffers there had a long day. We were served well, but from the "Can I help who is next, already?!" for example that was shouted out across the shop full of customers sort of came across as "let's get this done now" but hey, never know what they already had been through that day, right? They gathered up all our choices from case to case when it was our turn and we were pretty pleased with the boxes full of baked goodness as all of it didn't last long. Del Ponte's Bakery is a good stop to make if wanting some sweet treats to take home and enjoy, we are glad we did so.

I did enjoy my breakfast empanada very much but the chicken one was definitely my favorite. It came with a chimichurri type sauce that just brought the already flavorful empanada to another level.
