They also have a chocolate shop next door. When I walked inside of the bakery, I felt transported to a pastry shop in France. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was super busy. Service was quick and efficient. I ordered a latte and a scone. The scone was very delicious and fresh. My boyfriend ordered a frozen hot chocolate and a chocolate éclair. I tried a bit of the éclair and we both agreed that it was the star of the show. I normally am not a big éclair person but this one was so chocolatey and rich. It was filled with this creamy, fresh chocolate filling. I strongly dislike the store bought cream filling that they are usually piped with. We sat at one of the little tables on the sidewalk outside since the weather was nice. I will be back if I am in the area and in the mood for a sweet treat!

While the dessert was good, the staff is not aware of allergens in desserts. All three people at…read morethe front, although they were very nice, assured me there were no nuts in "Spring" dessert. They said there could be cross contamination. Cross contamination is no issue for me, as I informed them, but I need to know if there are nuts actually inside as an ingredient. One person said only one item on their dessert menu contained nuts, and when I mentioned that many contained hazelnut they seemed surprised to learn that hazelnut is in fact a tree nut. Lo and behold, the chocolate dacquoise inside the Spring dessert contained nuts and I got an anaphylactic reaction as a result and needed to take my EpiPen. The bite I had was very yummy but almost took me out so I'll still keep two stars for the baking itself. However, staff NEEDS to know what contains very common and deadly allergens.

We wound up getting the orange creamsicle cake pop, a Carmel butter bar, a 6 pack of various macarons (grey stuff, lava you, churro, and dole whip) and a spaceship earth cookie. We've eaten most of everything at this point. And it was amazing. The flavors bring you back to Disney and their amazing baked goods and yummy treats. They also sell a few of the cookie cutters that they use (they make them so they can make the cookies) seriously. Would recommend them for anything!

Ridgewood Ave…read more Ridgewood, NJ 07450 6 Box Special: Chocolate Chip Cookies N Cream Cheesecake Confetti Rocky Road S'mores Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Located at the intersection of East Ridgewood Avenue and Maple Avenue is a dessert shop specializing in gourmet cookies. With such a large variety of cookies offered, the only difficulty I had was selecting six because I wanted to explore them all. As I opened the box, I was in awe as to how gigantic they truly were. Chocolate Chip: The original flavor has and will always be my personal favorite. As you can see, it is packed with dark chocolate chip morsels. Cookies N Cream Cheesecake: If you are looking for the perfect variation of a sugar cookie, you've found it. This highlight of this masterpiece is the shot of sweet cream cheese infused in its center. Confetti: This other version of the sugar cookie is loaded with sprinkles. It has a rainbow-like appearance. Rocky Road: This ice cream inspired cookie is loaded with marshmallows and chopped almonds. Think of it as a moist, warm version of the classic treat. S'mores: Why purchase marshmallow, graham cracker, and chocolate when all you need to do is buy this cookie? It is identical to the real deal and you will definitely want "s'more." Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter: If you are fan of peanut butter cups, you will admire this specialty cookie made with cocoa and packed with peanut butter chips. Be sure to turn the box on its side and follow the simple instructions about re-heating the cookies in the microwave or oven. Thank you Store Manager Chrissy for welcoming me into your shop and introducing me to a diverse selection of phenomenal treats! #ChipCity #chipcityridgewood #chocolatechip #eastridgewoodave #confetticookie #cookiesncreamcookies #darkchocolatepeanutbuttercookie #smorescookie #rockyroadcookies #6boxspecial

Cookies this expensive should be a sin... Eating them should be a bigger sin... a sin that I'm…read morewilling to commit over and over again. Chip City specializes in baking cookies with a soft, gooey center. After drooling over photos online, I decided to treat myself one night. The store is located on a main street in Ridgewood, so it's street parking only. When I walked in, I couldn't get over how cute and bright the store was. To whoever is in charge of the marketing, design, and logos... kudos to you! A sweet employee (I think her name was Chrissy?) answered all my questions and helped me out. Since I came later in the evening, I was worried there wouldn't be too many cookies available, but I was wrong. There were plenty AND they were still fresh too! They offer classic flavors as well as seasonal and artisanal ones. So many unique and creative options! They also have mini ones and thin ones (with less calories). Flavors are rotated weekly and you can check the website for the line-up. Each cookie is $5.50, but trust me... they are dense, large, and can be shared with other people. I decided on the 3 Box Special ($14.50) and got... *Italian Rainbow - MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ONE! It's a tri colored almond cookie filled with raspberry jam and topped with dark chocolate ganache. The almond paste was so rich and the sweet jam was the perfect touch. A MUST TRY! *Chocolate Chip - A yummy classic. How could you go wrong with a brown sugar cookie with dark chocolate chips? *Fluffernutter - The description made it sound better than it tasted, so this was my least favorite out of the three. It's a vanilla sugar cookie with peanut butter chips filled with marshmallow cream. The peanut butter overpowered everything else. I feel like this would work better with a chocolate cookie. What I love about these cookies is that they don't just taste like a giant blob of sugar. You can actually appreciate and distinguish between the different flavors and ingredients. If you like crispy/crunchy cookies, you probably won't be a fan. If you enjoy cookies with a slightly crunchy exterior, but a soft, ooey, gooey (almost raw-like) interior, Chip City is for you!

Now that they offer online reservations, I'm more inclined to visit because otherwise you risk showing up and having to wait (or leaving) because it's a small space.

When you walk in, you order at the counter and then take a number to a table. We ordered the egg breakfast plate (eggs, toast, potato fritter, 2 pieces of bacon) and the spinach quiche with salad. The food felt like it could have been sitting on the counter for awhile since none of the elements were very hot. But the taste was good, especially the quiche and scrambled eggs. Their pastries were very photogenic but also pricey for the size (hence the trendy nature). There are many small tables and then a few large or medium ones. I would avoid this place on weekends and holidays when more people will venture here. On a weekday late morning, there were plenty of customers sitting with a coffee and working or chatting and enjoying a bite, but you could find a seat. There's someone who comes around to bus tables but you can also leave your plate or cup at the table. Many customers had perfectly coifed hair and were very put together, not the atmosphere that appeals to me. But many people like that. They have a small parking lot in the back but there's also paid street parking.

We came in maybe about a month and a half before the wedding for our cake tasting and it was a fun little experience. You pick which cake/filling combinations you want, and they bring out little cupcake versions of it on a tiered plate. My only gripe (which was minor) was that there were options that the Tides included in our package, but we had to pay extra to sample at David's (i.e. red velvet). We did end up picking that as one of the tiers of the cake. That is something I did appreciate - the cake design we chose had four tiers and we were able to pick a different flavor for each tier. Top tier was funfetti (saved for us for our one year anniversary), second tier was a marble cake with hazelnut buttercream, third was red velvet and cream cheese frosting, and the fourth and largest tier was the same as our top tier. Guests were able to pick which flavor they wanted and the marble was a hit. If you have any cake florals, toppers, ribbon, etc. you have to bring it to David's a week before your wedding. We don't live nearby and luckily our florist was able to place our florals, and since we had a simple cake topper, she ended up doing that too. But just something to keep in mind. Overall, I'm happy with how the cake turned out.
