    My wife and I sent Arlene a picture of a Wonder Woman cake for our daughters birthday, and we were NOT disappointed. Arlene created this cake exactly how we wanted it from the picture. The cake was amazing, and everyone kept telling us how great it turned out. We appreciate your hard work on our daughters cake! It turned out amazing!

    Beautiful cake for my friends shower!!!

    Yesterday was the first time I ordered a cake from the Polkadot Cupcake Shop. Not only was the cake BEAUTIFUL, and delicious the owner and baker Arlene is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this shop to everyone!!! I actually can't wait until my next cake order, which won't be for over six months. Arlene made me a guns n roses cake for my husband's birthday. I sent her a picture, and explained to her what I was looking for. The cake was used to give my husband his birthday gift which was tickets to their upcoming show. Not only was the cake better then I imagined, it also was delicious. I ordered yellow cake with cannoli cream filling. My husband who is not a big sweet eater, even ate two slices! This experience was simply beyond wonderful!!! I can't wait to order more sweets!!!

    Under the Sea cake..

    Ordered the Under the Sea cake for my sons first birthday... The cake was amazing.. when they delivered the cake my wife and I looked at it and were speechless.. The details on the cake were awesome.. with all the sea creatures on it and the whale on top.. could not of asked for a better cake.. The inside was marble cake with cannoli filling which was delish... we also got decorated sea creature sugar cookies as favors.. they were also delish... Definitely recommend using them..

    The dessert table!!!! Cookies, cupcakes and cakes!

    Absolutely brilliant designers and DELICIOUS bakers! We hired this amazing team to create a cake, cookies, cupcakes and chocolate covered Oreos and pretzel sticks for our daughter's Pete the Cat themed 3rd birthday party. (Pics below) WOW!!! Thank you so much to the entire team!!!!

    I contacted Arlene (owner) regarding a graduation cake for my god daughter. Sampled a few flavors and we discussed my cake designs. Cake was executed perfectly. It was also delivered on time. Very pleased with the customer service and cake. The cake was beautiful and tastes DELICIOUS! Everyone kept asking the name of the bakery for future business! I Highly recommend Polkadot Cake Shop!

    A cake fit for a bride to be! Filling: marble cake with mocha meringue!

    I am so over the moon happy with a cake that was ordered for my best friend's bridal shower this past weekend! Arlene was so incredible to work with and made sure every detail was perfect. Not only did the cake look beautiful, but it tasted even better! I would recommend this shop to anyone, and can't wait to order for the next big event (and try all of the other amazing flavors)!

    Polkadot cupcake shop hands down has the best desserts I've ever had. Arlene is so easy to work with and makes your cake dreams come true. I love her cookies (no cookie will ever compare) but my absolute favorite thing is her vanilla with lemon cream cheese and raspberry preserves filling! I had it once at a food truck event and I ended up ordering it as my birthday cake this year! The lemon cream cheese is just the right amount of tart and cheesy to break up the sweetness of the preserves! As if delicious flavors weren't enough, working with Arlene is a dream. I have ideas in my head and she meshes them perfectly together and then takes them to the next level. We love getting our logo on cookies as a special treat to our customers! I can't say enough about Arlene and Polkadot Cupcake Shop. Once you give them a try nothing else will compare!

    I have ordered 3 cakes from Polkadot and absolutely love love love love LOVE THEMMMM!! We got a cake for my sister's birthday, my husband's groom's cake and our birthday cake. They are very kind and their cakes are so good and their cookies too! Simply amazing. Will hire them again, recently inquired for my "dessert table" for my college graduation party so super excited to see how this new event will go!

    Love this bakery and will absolutely be back for all my party needs! We had a 80s themed surprise birthday party for my husband and Arlene and the team here made an AMAZING cake! It was exactly what I envisioned and hoped for!! It was beautiful and it was DELICIOUS!! Honestly the best chocolate cake I've ever had!! Can't wait for my next party and next cake! Thank you for making something spectacular!

    This review is long overdue... but read me!! I ordered my daughter's 1st birthday cake from Polkadot. Let's start with customer service and responsiveness: Arlene was wonderful to work with! I couldn't have asked for better communication. Now... appearance and taste: beautiful and DELICIOUS. The cake was Snow White themed and came out just as I hoped for. I ordered a banana cake with vanilla icing. The cake was moist with a realistic banana taste and the icing was perfect. I will be ordering from Polkadot again!!

    Arlene of Polkadot Cupcake Shop was at a corporate event and served her cupcakes. Excellent cupcakes! Texture and taste was very good. The cupcake texture is a cross between a cake and a poundcake. It was moist...always a plus... Much success to Arlene and her cupcake business! She was also very nice...always a bonus... Carmen

    Arlene knows her cupcakes! As an event planner in NY, I use Polkadot for any event that needs her treats! She did a fabulous job with the St. John's School of Law, graduation last year...that was A LOT of cupcakes!!!! I have not made it to Jersey to see the food truck..but I have only heard great things on Facebook! My favorite... Irish Car Bomb, made with Bailey's!

    Pre-decorating cakes!!

    My Wife and I recently had our daughter's 4th Birthday Party here. The owner has extra space, so on occasion she rents it out for parties. The space can hold between 10/15 kids plus a parent which is typically a mom. Although their were a few dads there of course including me. The owner is very nice and accommodating. She has an assistant who is also very helpful. All the kids sit down with a blank canvas aka cake and get to decorate it. The cake was vanilla with a cream filling. They supplied a variation of fondant pieces ranging from hearts, stars, little castles, cars, and crowns. There are 100 different pieces to choose from we chose those. Halfway through decorating they supply pizza and water for the kids and adults. We provided soda if anyone wanted that instead of water. Their minds ran free and went to work and made some great and interesting cakes. Of course the parents assisted, I think they had as much fun as their child did. At the end each child's cake is boxed up so as they can take it home. We had a special cake made for our daughter of Funfetti with chocolate and strawberry. It was beautiful! We have gotten dessert table cake pops, custom cookies, chocolate covered Oreo's, Cannoli's, even a gender reveal cake for our family, for our second child. For my birthday a few years back my wife got me a custom Gun N Roses cake, cause she had gotten me tickets to their show at MetLife Stadium! Was absolutely amazing! If your having an event at a Restuarant or another venue they will come and setup everything you ordered. It was a very nice afternoon, in the end it all came down to the kids having fun which they did. Would we we do it again absolutely! Will we use tagain absolutely, highly recommend in my book!

    Hubby's 40th!

    Does this bakery do cookies and cupcakes for a bachlorette party? That being said some may not be of an appropriate nature if you catch me.

    Yes.. the owner would definitely do them for you!

    In 1983, I arrived in New Jersey to begin my professional football journey with the New York…read moreGiants. As a young kid from Louisiana, one of the first things I missed was the culture, flavor, and sweet treats that reminded me of home in New Orleans. Back then, my teammates used to tease me relentlessly about being the "fat rookie from Louisiana" because I was always chasing pralines, cookies, pastries, and every sugary delight imaginable. Not long after arriving, I stumbled upon a hidden gem that instantly made me feel at home -- Lyndhurst Pastry Shop. This led me to "SACKING" tons of NFC QB's over the years. From day one, Paulette, Jerry, her father, and the entire staff have treated me like family. Decades later, they are still absolutely knocking it out of the park. Whether it's their incredible Italian ice, authentic cannoli, specialty cookies, or my personal weakness -- their unbelievable apple rings -- this place never disappoints. Truth be told, I can't stop there without bringing one home for my wife. Some places serve food. Others serve memories, tradition, and comfort. Lyndhurst Pastry Shop has done that for me for over 40 years. A true North Jersey institution. Five stars isn't enough -- if I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Leonard A.

I ordered the Christmas Honey balls ($19.95) and the Fudge Layer Cake ($29.50) and while I disagree with the credit card fee being passed to the consumer, the quality of the product exceeds that cost. Inside the venue is a true classic bakery atmosphere and while there is usually a line, the service is brisk and moves fairly quickly. If you want to impress your holiday season guests, family or friends, the LPS is the right venue for traditional Italian baked goods and desserts! As i return to NJ for the holidays, I will make at least three or four stops at LPS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The owners mother and counter girl spoke to me in a way I've never experienced from any business or anyone for that matter . Shockingly rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. I have written proof and photos showing they do take custom cake orders, despite later claiming they don't. There was no misunderstanding, no mix-up--just unacceptable behavior. I strongly recommend staying away from this establishment. No customer deserves to be treated this way.

The store was basically empty on the Sunday before the major black that happened on Monday. The two men near the register were chit chatting with each other and they hesitated to even come to assist us. As we browsed the Gelato options from left to right for a brief moment we then noticed a family of about five people came in. We immediately noticed the difference in response time to this family's arrival. One of the employees immediately went over towards our left as they entered and said, "Guys, when you are ready to order come over by the cash register." This is why it is important for business owners to train the people they hire about appropriate customer service because although the employees are not owners, they are representatives of the business. So business owners have to be careful about who they hire. Hmmmmm, how convenient for these new guests and inconvenient for us that we were not acknowledged until the employees felt compelled to share this ordering practice with a new group of patrons after we were already waiting.

The gelato is incredibly smooth, creamy, and packed with real flavor. None of that icy or artificial taste you sometimes get with the supermarket brands. Staff lets you have free samples to taste so you can know which one to order. I love that you can watch them scoop it with care. It really feels like a little work of art in a cup or cone. They also have a great selection of gelato bars and popsicles if you're in the mood for something handheld. The staff is always friendly and patient, especially when you're standing there overwhelmed by all the delicious options. There is also a see through glass where you can see how the gelato is prepared in the back. Whether you're shopping, hitting the water park, or just need a sweet pick-me-up, Lucciano's delivers every time. Fresh, high-quality ingredients and generous portions. If you're in the mall and have a sweet tooth, do yourself a favor and stop here. You won't be disappointed!
