I absolutely love La Bon! They have so many options that you really don't need any other bakery. I…read moreorder cakes here from all birthdays and significant events and they are able to accommodate different dietary restrictions. For example, I got a vegan cake for my mom's birthday and I didn't even miss the dairy. For my daughter's birthday, they recreated exactly the cake that I wanted based only on a picture, and it was perfect! There are a few gluten-friendly options and they are able to accommodate a lot of custom requests with some advanced notice. I love that they have specials for different holidays. I recently started taking advantages of their specials: I ordered a Triple Mousse Cake from their Valentine's Day specials (soooo good!) and a Berry Deluxe King Cake from their Mardi Gras specials. I'm always on the lookout on social media to see what the next specials are to be able to treat myself.

I don't like iced cookies because the icing is usually too thick and sweet - generally, the prettier the cookie, the worse it tastes. Not the case here!

I stopped in on St. Patrick's Day hoping for some yummy cookies and a loaf of Irish soda bread…read more They sure had plenty of good looking cookies and a few loaves of the bread so I was excited. They sure had woman behind the counter was very nice and helped me right away. When I got home we ( my Mom, Dad, and I tried a cookie. We all thought it was unfortunately too dry and pretty tasteless. Later on we tried the Irish Soda bread which we did not particularly like as well. That too was very dry and kind of crumbly. The coating of flour on top was too much and left a dryness in my mouth. It was not a good experience for me and I'm not sure if I'll ever go back.

Just moved into the area and have already been here twice. Had a good experience the first time so…read moreI had to come back with my sister. What I ordered the first time: - Latte - Hot chocolate - Beef croissant The drinks were decent but the beef croissant was so good! Very flaky and messy to eat but worth it 100%. They are a bakery for fine pastries so I don't really knock them for not having also amazing drinks. What I ordered the second time: - Beef croissant (had to run it back) - Ham and cheese croissant - Chocolate croissant - Puff pastry dessert All of the croissants were very good but the beef one is still the best. The puff pastry dessert was underwhelming. It was so tough to eat because of the harden caramel and the pastry underneath was also too hard to be enjoyed. We just ate the top pieces and some of the cream and threw out the rest. Service is fine, no notes.

Central Jersey has some independent shops but it's largely Wegmans and ShopRite wearing the baker's apron. In that dessert desert we now have Paris Baguette filling the void.

The man stocking the serve yourself pastry shelves was very knowledgeable of all the products. There were no labels out yet because I arrived early and they were still stocking, so i had lots of questions. They are a little pricey here though I must say $$. Pretty upscale quality food though, so I guess it is worth it in the end. Inside is pretty spacious with a good amount of seating. There is not too much decor, it was pretty modern in here. I would come back when I am in town and I would recommend dropping in and trying a delicious pastry or 2 ! :)

Five stars for the croissants! The baguette was freshly baked but a disappointment. It was too soft and didn't have the crunchy crust that a baguette must have. The woman at the counter was very frustrating to interact with. "I would like a baguette please." She gives a blank look. "A what?" "A baguette." "Like a pastry?" "No, like a long loaf of bread." "I don't know if we sell that. Wait here." She goes in the back and returns. "It's baking right now." "Ok. I'll wait, and I'd like chocolate croissant with a cup of coffee please while I wait." Then she puts two plain croissants in a bag and rings them up. Makes no move to pour coffee.
