I definitely want to go back and try more items to give this place a full review but I enjoyed most the pastries I got! I did agree it was a little overpriced and I didn't like that the receipt wasn't itemized so I didn't know what pastries cost what. I absolutely loved the chocolate and pistachio rolls they were delicious and the Dubai chocolate was great too. My friend said she enjoyed the tres leches cake and it looked moist. What I didn't enjoy was the chocolate chip cookie it was dry and looked kinda old and also the cinnamon bun was really dry could have used more icing or more filling? But I would definitely try this place again and see what other items I don't like. It's worth a stop just try what looks good to you.

The most adorable Italian Deli. This place was exactly what we were looking for when we pulled off…read moreroute 84 to grab lunch on our way from NJ to Maine. The Italian combo sandwich hit the spot but the best part was walking thru the kitchen to the restroom and seeing a Nonna cooking in the kitchen. Service was A+ and the prices were great too.

The only thing we don't like are the other desserts in the case. There has only been one thing that we have enjoyed, and it was a Mango Toaster Pastry from our first visit. Other than that, we find the brownies, cookies, etc. to be pretty average...sometimes too sweet, sometimes too bland. Cupcakes are their specialty for sure, and we'll keep coming back for those.

There are different seating options including a back room which houses a beautiful yellow sofa, blue chairs, coffee table, and three arcade games. There is also a large room downstairs to rent out for gatherings such as birthday parties. Such a nice idea! The gluten-free cupcakes were soft, rich and yummy. I wish I had more. There was a really nice guy working the day I came in. He has been working for Hardcore Sweet Bakery for two years. He was very helpful and answered all of my many questions. He's a keeper! The only thing this place is missing is coffee. Then it would be absolutely perfect. Love this place! Snack and stay awhile.

If not; you can order from their extensive cake menu. Small sitting area if you choose to sit and have a slice of cake in the shop, several flavors available for that!!! Staff could be more forthcoming, on a few occasions I found the counter help to be fast and demanding by basically asking over and over "how many cupcakes are you getting, I need to know " seriously just let us see them first!!! A more relaxed visit would had us back more times! The last visit was a new crew- much better service!

This is one of the best bakeries. Their treats are so buttery and taste absolutely delightful…read more Everything is so beautiful and gives the look of artistry. I love the pineapple coconut cookies. I've eaten them for years. They are delicate yet the flavor of pineapple and coconut work so well together. The cookies are moist and soft. They are such a joy to bite into. This day I also tried the toasted almond cupcake. While beautiful, it was extremely sweet, even for me. I couldn't eat it in one sitting. I don't think I'd ever purchase it again. It does remind you of the good humor toasted almond ice cream bars that were discontinued. But I just wish the topping wasn't so sweet. The cake was blander to complement the icing but it just wasn't for me. If you are looking to host an event or surprise a friend, i think treats from this bakery say I love you! There is so much variety that you should be able to find something for anyone. I took one star off because the staff isn't too conversational which takes away from the experience. .
