Legitimately the best spot for ube desserts in Hoboken easily! Was kinda confused of the location…read moreat first since their store front looked different on Google Maps. Super small spot but looked like a professional bakery lol. Staff was very kind and we basically had one of each ube item they had on the menu. Everything was delicious and you can tell it was fresh ingredients only. They're quite popular already so if you haven't tried them out I'd highly suggest doing so!

Ordered: Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie ($3.75)…read moreBanana Pudding Cookie ($4.25) Matcha w White Chocolate Chip Cookie ($4.75) Ube (Purple Yam) Cookie ($4.25) Brownie w Chocolate Chips ($3.50) Aya's take: I tried Baking Mama for the first time at Hey Coffee People (also in Hoboken) and have been meaning to check out their actual bakery for a while now. It's super tiny inside and only 3-5 people can comfortably stand to order. We got a few cookies and were on our way! Their cookies are all in the ~$4 range which is pretty fair for these specialty flavors and good quality cookies. My favorites in order were the Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie, the Banana Pudding Cookie, the Matcha w White Chocolate Chip Cookie, and lastly, the Ube Cookie. The Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie was gooey, sweet, and decadent in all the right ways. I'm a sucker for banana so I very much enjoyed the Banana Pudding Cookie. You taste actual banana! This is 10x better than the one Magnolia Bakery has! The Matcha w White Chocolate Chip Cookie had a gentle bitterness/umami flavor that was offset by the sweetness of the white chocolate chips. The Ube Cookie was also good but surprisingly the ube didn't shine through as much here. All in all, you will not have a bad bite here and it's all a matter of preference. So glad I finally stopped by!

I was a fan of Shortbread Society 2 years ago when I bought a chocolate chip tray for my parents…read morethrough Goldbelly. It's a bit pricey (typically $65 a tray) but it's very worth it because you can either eat it over the course of 3 days or freeze for longer, and it's absolutely delicious if you're a fan of shortbread. I was waiting for there to be more unique gluten free versions before I bought it for someone who can't have gluten. This holiday season satisfied that longing when I got an email about their new holiday flavors, 4 of which come gluten free using King Arthur flour. Bought the pumpkin pie one, and I'm not sure how they managed to do it, but it's incredible. There's no discernible difference from their regular shortbreads. Super rich and buttery and the pumpkin pie topping was smooth and flavorful. Your credit card bill will be sad but your mouth won't

11/10 -- The only custom cake vendor I'll ever use!…read more I have exclusively used Hudson Cakery for all of my custom cake needs since 2022, when I first worked with Jennifer and her team for my baby shower cake and cake pops. Four years and MANY celebrations later, they have become my go-to for every special occasion. We've now used Hudson Cakery for my twins' first, second, and third birthdays, as well as my husband's 40th birthday -- and I genuinely cannot imagine using anyone else! My experience with Jennifer and her team has been nothing short of amazing every single time. Communication is seamless, Jennifer is incredibly responsive and thorough, and she is always so helpful when I have questions or need guidance bringing an idea to life. The cake designs are absolutely unmatched. I typically share reference photos and a general creative vision, and Jennifer & her team always nail every detail and exceed my expectations. Of course, the cakes are also delicious. They offer such a great variety of cake flavors, fillings, and icings, and everything we've ordered has been a hit with both kids and adults. It's rare to find a bakery that delivers on both the artistry AND the taste, but Hudson Cakery truly does both. At this point, Hudson Cakery is a part of all of our biggest celebrations, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer and her team to anyone looking for a custom cake that is beautiful, unique, and absolutely delicious.

YUM! I came to Le…read moreFour after a nearby business was surprisingly closed for breakfast. It was meant to be, I had passed by Le Four a couple weeks ago, bookmarked it, and voila! We came to visit unexpectedly and it did not disappoint! I had the French toast breakfast with fingering potatoes and a honey lavender latte with their matching cold foam-- it was all delicious! The French toast and fingerling potatoes left me wanting to come back for more. It was made perfectly, a little sweet but not too sweet, fluffy French toast with perfectly cooked bacon and scrambled eggs topped with cheese. The fingerling potatoes were seasoned well and had a bit of crisp to them that I absolutely loved, it was also paired with this ketchup herb mix (see pic) that was so yummy! Service was excellent--welcoming, friendly and made sure we enjoyed everything. Ambience is relaxed, they have a handful of small tables here to enjoy your meal or pastry. I also took home some baked goods for my family and I to try and loved them all! The creme brûlée donut was a favorite. The ube creme pastry and pastry creme filled donut were both tasty as well. Will be coming back!

A lovely addition to the neighborhood. I can never say no to more pastries!…read more It's conveniently located near the train station making it easy to grab something quickly before heading on your commute. There is also seating inside. I hope they add outdoor seating as well - especially as it's getting warmer nowadays. I would describe the pastries here as French-inspired with an Asian twist. I got the crème brûlée donut, black sesame mochi puff (forgot the exact name for this), and the pistachio chocolate croissant. For three pastries the total was $11.85 which I thought was fair for the area. - Loved the pistachio chocolate croissant - The crème brûlée donut was a tad too sweet for my taste but I would get it again - The black sesame puff had a tough texture making it not enjoyable to chew - I wouldn't get this again They're still in their soft opening phase but I'm looking forward to see how they'll grow!
